The Paper Tiger is Real; He's Just Asleep

No one is talking about gold and the miners, and that suits me just fine.  The apathy we are seeing the precious complex is reminiscent of our discussions about energy and materials around Halloween--It was no longer a case of the being "hated," or even mocked, but rather just roundly shunned altogether as a total waste of time.  And who can...

You Want Price; They Want Value

Holiday week or not, we have yet another Monday morning vaccine-driven gap higher underway. And holiday week or not, we have yet another Monday morning where the growth names in QQQ are lagging, actually flipping red as I write this (alongside AZN itself on the vaccine news).  For a while now, we have posited that the high-flying growth leaders...

Empty Streets; Sunny Deets

There may very well be renewed uncertainty over various virus restrictions across the country, not to mentioned the Treasury cutting Fed lending program. But you would not know it from gauging solar stocks. Various solars, be it high beta names like SOL SPI SUNW, have been hot this week, and the more standard names like FSLR (below, on its...

A Big Event, Minus Pomp and Circumstance

Back in the middle of summer it was hard not to find gold bugs and newly-converted precious mining bulls champing at the bit to trade the sector in the midst of a strong bull run. After all, The Fed just wants to print money and our politicians treat our deficits like they are a total joke. How could gold not be the answer, or at least one of...

Deicing the Boeing Chart

Although many politicians have helped to form the view that we are headed for a long, dark winter of economic restrictions amid spiking virus cases, the market has other thoughts about that.  Airlines, especially DAL, are back at it again today, up around 4%, with cruise lines and casinos acting quite well, too.

Remember: We Want the Right Kind of Boring

Consider this a quick and friendly reminder into the bell today that as we head into what many expect to be a "long, dark, winter," you should carefully select your sectors. In other words, not all boring sectors are created equally, especially if we do get that rising rate environment various sectors seem to be implying based on recent price...

Helluva Long Sequel to Enron, Jimmy

Words cannot describe how tedious it must be for famed and well-regarded short-seller Jim Chanos (pictured, left) to keep holding TSLA short amid the stock's legendary moves this year. Back during the March crash, Chanos appeared on CNBC and figured to have finally been on the cusp of prevailing in a long, hard-fought battle.  Since then, TSLA...
