Tech is Played Out: Here's Where the Action Is

Recent blog posts have focused on rotation into financials and out of high profile growth names, mostly in tech, coming off the Labor Day weekend. In addition to banks, also note the overlooked industrials housed in the XLI ETF displaying signs of being a clear rotation beneficiary for capital looking to stay within equities as an asset class,...

Banks Breaking Rank...But is it Enough?

The Nasdaq is off to a particularly rough start this morning, off by roughly 1.4% as I write this and plenty of widespread selling below the surface in tech-related names.

Sunday Matinée at Market Chess Cinemas

Summer is Going Out with a Bang, Literally

After an impressive earnings beat, the maker of iconic Smith & Wesson firearms, AOBC, is higher by more than 33% as I write this. In addition, peer RGR is up roughly 5.4%. Indeed, it has been a rather quiet couple of quarters for AOBC RGR as the Trump Administration is not perceived as a threat in any way to gun control, and the sleepy stock...

Father Time always wins. Despite astonishing advances in the medical field with respect to managing chronic diseases and other discoveries related to longevity, Father Time and Mother Nature are in very little danger of being defeated, just yet.
