Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes
After being one of the undisputed monsters off the pre-Halloween low, AMD is now displaying serious signs of changes in latitudes and changes in price attitudes . More importantly, the relevant issues for us is whether the large semiconductor play is functioning as a leader to the downside now, too, after clearly being one of the leaders to...

Looking for a 5x4 By Memorial Day
Powell gave remarks at Stanford University earlier today where he is still sticking to his guns that we are merely seeing a "bumpy" path down to 2% target inflation. In other words, the recent data are not swaying him off his rate cut plan for later this year, just yet. Powell and his cohorts at The Fed have been awfully stubborn on this...

It's How Civilizations Fall
The SOFR is an acronym which stands for, "Secured Overnight Financing Rate," and is the replacement to LIBOR (which stood for "London Interbank Offer Rate"). LIBOR was deemed too prone to manipulation (try to hold your laughter) and thus the SOFR calculation was tweaked a bit from the LIBOR. But, essentially, SOFR acts like LIBOR did, as...

April Bond Fool in the Rain
I almost never headline a blog post with a chart. Typically, I use a photo relevant to the title or body of the post. However, and this certainly is no April Fools' Day joke, TBT (ultra-SHORT ETF for Treasuries, essentially a bet on higher rates by being long TBT) has been the mainstay in my portfolio for over fifteen months now with Members....

Silver is Risen
Quietly a strong end to the holiday week for gold, silver, and their miners. Granted, tomorrow's PCE report with the cash markets closed will be a major event, especially once Easter dinner is done and Sunday night futures open into the new month and quarter on Monday. However, recall during the 1970s that gold and metals/miners performed the...

AT&T Set to Outperform NVIDIA for the Next Decade
With a forward PE of 7 and a dividend well north of 6%, AT&T continues to be overlooked if not outright hated by the investing community. Nonetheless, with VIP Members in the long-term investing arm of Market Chess we have been on this play for several quarters now, seeing deep value in the stock from lower levels. Beyond T, we have its buddy...

Look What Washed Ashore
Another super slow day out there (mostly, save DJT and RDDT type action). But note the ARM lockup expiry and weakness is impacting the semis into the bell negatively. The SOX did not make a new high since the beginning of the month, diverging from the Nasdaq last week. And now we have a diamond top washing ashore with no fanfare because, after...

Tossing One to the Alligators
With bad press as far as the eye can see, Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun announced that he will step down at the end of this calendar year as part of a broad management shakeup for the firm. The old timers used to refer to this as "tossing one to the alligators," meaning the sheer amount of awful publicity means someone (or some people) need to be the...
