A Regular Cottage Industry of Hot Stocks

All of the derivative plays sprouting from the Uber/Lyft ride-sharing popularity are sure to attract some hot money, and HyreCar (HYRE) is a pretty good example of that phenomenon.

Sunday Matinée at Market Chess Cinemas

Inspired by the 1966 British film of the same name and its 1975 sequel, Alfie (2004) is currently available on Amazon Prime and is highly recommended.
