Gold and the Miners: Be Like Archie Moore

The great and overlooked boxer Archie Moore's nickname, "The Old Mongoose," perfectly alluded to his legendary ability as a counter puncher.  With this in mind, given the recent bouts of weakness in gold and miners, we are going to approach them into the end of summer much like Moore would: As astute counter-punchers in lieu of coming out...

Representing Evansville, Indiana

The rotation into financials is showing signs of follow-through today, which is all the more impressive when you consider the market at-large remains mixed, at best, into the afternoon.  Regional banks are slightly outperforming their larger counter-parts today. So, let us focus on an actionable idea on that sector.  Based in Evansville,...

Canada Stealing America's Thunder This Morning

In the face of a soft, sloppy open on the major averages in the U.S., Canada's Potash and Agrium were said to be in advanced talks about a merger, according to Bloomberg.  As a result, most ag plays are rallying sharply, obviously including AGU POT.  However, from a long-term perspective I am intrigued by the chart of Mosaic. On the monthly MOS...

End of Summer Cheer

The indices have largely been drifting sideways the last few hours after a strong open, as we kick off what figures to be a light week of trading before the Labor Day weekend.  To be sure, plenty of tight charts are present, which we consistently update for Members. At issue is whether they will break higher mostly across the board, which would...

The Stock Market Recruits a New Driver

  Do you remember the drill with the banks? They tend to catch a nice bid as rates eventually edge higher.  Financials are leading today, on the back of a potentially hawkish Fed (also opposed to the bluffing one we are used to).  While there are plenty of skeptics regarding whether The Fed can actually muster the, shall we say, intestinal...

Fiesta Making a Run at Chotchkie's

Select casual dining plays have enjoyed something of a snapback rally in recent weeks, seemingly under-the-radar.  While it is true that many eyes have been glued to CMG for a potential bottom, the likes of BWLD and FRGI have also been noteworthy.  CMG, green again this morning, would likely need a close above $435 to confirm even a temporary...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

I recently saw  Anthropoid (2016), the real-life account of Operation Anthropoid. Anthropoid was the code name for a World War II mission to assassinate the malevolent SS General Reinhard Heydrich, the main architect behind the Final Solution and the Reich's third in command after Hitler and Himmler. Heydrich was said to be so violent and...

A Staring Contest for the Ages

The initial reaction to Janet Yellen's apparently hawkish language this morning seemed hell-bent on calling her bluff, with the rate-sensitive sectors rallying along with commodities.  However, an abrupt downside reversal ensued, virtually across the board, after Stanley Fischer reinforced the hawk case for higher rates.  At the moment, we have...
