Market Chess Prices Are Going Up

Effective January 1st, 2023, prices for Market Chess Subscription Services are going up across the board. This will actually be the first rate increase since the service started. In the eight years (to the date!) since I launched Market Chess, I have held off on raising prices. However, with all of my vendors (video capture, filming,...

Be Prepared for This to Happen

As we have been discussing with Members for a while now, we are still operating in the middle stages of a protracted bear market, which means persistent rallies seemingly coming out of nowhere are the rule, not the exception. Headed into 2023, however, I expect that to change as the bear claws come out for the next leg down, as the middle...

We're On to the CPI

A lack of a decisive GOP "red wave" in the midterm elections look to have thrown some cold water on the market's recent rally, although this morning is not exactly a bloodbath, either.

And with a Biden White House alongside quite a few highly powerful, visible Democrat players in Congress (Pelosi, Schumer, just to name a few), the issue is...

It's Not Some Big "Whodunnit"

Rates are higher again, CVNA is completely imploding on the back Friday's pummeling, and shares of TSLA are sliding by more than 4%. All of this as we head towards the midterm elections tomorrow and the CPI print on Thursday. And, yet, the market is green as various commodity stocks are attempting attractive breakouts. So, what gives? For...

A Salty Dollar

If we were block out all of the Powell talk, theories, guesstimates, and whatnot, simply put the U.S. Dollar's resurgence since around 2:40pm EST yesterday (seen below on the UUP ETF daily chart) can explain most of the weakness in equities. Sure, FTNT and ROKU are getting hammered after earnings. But, then again, COP is a stud in energy, as...
