On that note, it is...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
Starring Kenneth Branagh (in total "auteur" mode as lead and director), as well as Emma Thompson, Andy Garcia, Campbell Scott, even a minor role for Robin Williams, Dead Again (1991) is certainly worthy of a viewing.

You Have to Be Ruthless
This morning's GDP report arguably hinted at some early signs of dreaded "stagflation" in the U.S. economy, which of course conjures up images of the wage-price spiral from the 1970s.

The summer doldrums seem to be kicking in a bit today, with the market pace rather slow and many traders apparently becoming frustrated with most indices locked in a two-week range.

It's Tin Foil Hats Versus Tin Foil Wraps at Chipotle
Making the case that Chipotle Mexican Grill is a bonafide market leader is a tough one, and is one that I am not about to tackle. However, just as with Apple, you are talking about a previous market leader which has been mired in a strong technical downtrend over the last year or so. And even if AAPL and CMG do not reclaim their leadership...
