Get in, Sugar: We're Squeezing America Back

On the back of this morning's Bitcoin/Nasdaq led gap lower, it is hard not to notice that the WallStreetBets plays are green and threatening to turn back higher after several weeks of unwinding the gamma squeeze which morphed into international news overnight and spawned a Congressional hearing last week. Specifically, AMC and GME are popping...

Navigate Those Icy Waters

It is hard to fathom that the QQQ is flipping red as I write this even as the small caps and semis surge roughly 2.5% today. Then again, this market has been featuring some icy waters for a while now apropos of the type of February much of the country has seen in terms of the weather.

Are We Really Going Stag?

A surprising jump in jobless claims this morning, coupled with persistent strength in the likes of copper, lumber, inflation readings like PPI, and warnings of price hikes from companies like KHC (acting great as a stock, though) all merit at least an instructive analysis about whether we are headed towards a dreaded period of stagflation, not...

The Many Phases of Winter and Markets

We are at that point in a fairly harsh winter season where it is hard to remember what warm, sunny weather feels like, yet it is still too early to truly see spring around the corner. Similar comments apply to equities, where it is hard to remember what a legitimate, albeit garden-variety, 8-12% correction on the major averages looks and feel...

All My Electricity Lives in Texas

While there are various angles to playing the brutal cold snap and rolling blackouts across the country, especially in Texas, the main thing to remember is that various locales are not used to snow and will be clamoring for rock salt for the roads we hear more and more about horrifying multi-car pileups. CMP, below on its daily chart,...
