On the surface, that...

Find Me a Witness Who Can Testify

With all of the political happenings today, adding another layer of news flow on top of Fed Chair Powell's testimony before Congress, it seems all too easy to lose focus of what stocks are actually doing in lieu of the inevitable swirling headlines.

After several nearly two months of suffering from dehydration, bears enjoyed a quick drink of water this morning in the form of a weak futures session overnight somewhat spilling over into the opening bell. But even with mega cap firms like CAT and HD gapping lower, the market seems to be reverting to what it has done since Christmas--Quickly...

Still Not Too Late for a Trip to Aspen

Aspen Technology, Inc., that is. With software names playing "hard to get" amid a week of stubbornly resisting price corrections in favor of mostly marking time sideways, such as with TWLO post-earnings, COUP NOW OKTA, etc., not to mention the likes of TTD sprinting higher, headed into next week we will watch for overlooked names in the...
