Part of the Tesla bull thesis I laid out last Monday in this blog post centered around the long-term TSLA chart, updated below on the monthly timeframe. Considering how volatile of a stock, company, and CEO Tesla has surrounding the news flow and rumors (founded or not), it is rather remarkable that the long-term view has remain relatively...

Grandma Bear Got Run Over By a Reindeer and a Trade War Tweet

Another round of renewed optimism for an imminent "big deal" with China seems to have coincided with a nice pop in the broad market this morning not long after the opening bell rang.  While quite a few software stocks continue to lag, semiconductors are still seeking to offset a chunk of that damage. Micron, with earnings under a week away, is...

Not Quite the Christmas Market

It is worth remembering that the official "Santa Rally" is still a few weeks away according to Wall Street lore: It falls during the last five trading days in December and the first two trading days in the following January. Thus, today's weakness in many growth stocks, glaringly so in the case of PTON (in no small part due to another Citron...

Biotech: How Sweet is Too Sweet?

A fierce rally in the biotechnology sector which began in early-October may very well seem ripe to finally crack. However, it i worth remembering that momentum is a uniquely powerful aspect of markets, particularly when a flurry of mergers and acquisitions occurs at impressive premium.

The Perfect Setup

Admittedly talking my own book (with a stop-loss below $25), I view Scientific Games Corporation (SGMS) as being in the sweetest of sweet spots on several levels from a bullish perspective.  The Las Vegas-based SGMS provides gambling products and services to lottery and gambling organizations across the globe.

Putting the Hype in Hyperbole

Despite some more impressive dealmaking in the biotechnology sector, this time with BOLD up more than 100% as I write this after Japanese drugmaker Astellas Pharma bought the company for around $3 billion, the broad market remains in pullback mode as trade war headlines reemerge.  Clearly, the lingering threat of new tariffs used as a...

It's OK to Be a Turncoat in the Market

Years ago after Tesla's jaw-dropping rally well into early-2014 I remember that I garnered quite a bit of internet support from noted TSLA and Elon Musk bears who would have loved nothing more than to see the stock, CEO, and company burn to the ground. At the time, I simply saw a chart so extended that the likely outcome was either sideways or...
