Going Stag

This morning's notable miss on the ADP jobs number saw and interesting reaction, with gold popping and stocks slumping. While this is far from a broad-based bloodbath (see the Nasdaq hanging tough as usual), gold is on the move again, indeed, perhaps indicating a stagflationary interpretation by markets.

Coach Greg Likes Stevia and So Do We

Case in point: The recent Robinhood IPO has clearly captured all of the headlines regarding new IPOs, with the hoopla, good or bad, still very much in play as CNBC had an icon on the bottom right of its broadcast on Friday tracking...

Sounds Like Japanese Anime to Me

With TSLA laughing in the face of the AMZN earnings selloff so far on this summer Friday morning, we likely need to keep Acrimoto (FUV) on watch long. This is a name we played with Members a while back, and it sure has set back up well, see on the updated daily chart, below. Earnings are not for three more weeks, and the short position is...

As for last evening's loaded lineup of earnings, it appears the volatility sellers won more than anyone...
