Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

Writer/director Justin Lin has certainly moved on to bigger things in his career, namely the Fast and the Furious series of films in addition to plenty of pop culture hits, but I still consider his finest work to be, by far, Better Luck Tomorrow (2002). Better Luck Tomorrow might be a bit difficult to track down these days. However, I...

Is the Walmart Epic Over?

Earnings for Walmart are coming up on May 17th, on the back of what was generally considered to be an unnecessary deal for them to buy a 77% in India's Flipkart, an enormous $16 billion deal . Still, each time WMT has been written off over the years, even decades, the stock always seems to find a way to surprise to the upside at the most...

And if that happens, some...

Don't Forget to Revisit the Legends of This Season

A common mental trap during earnings season is to have a defeatist attitude, insofar as mumbling "Aw, shucks, I missed that big move in this particular name I knew to be a winner, and now I will not be able to get in on the long side anytime soon." While earnings season can often be frustrating in that reward, with a darned-if-you-do play...

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Energy Selloff Yesterday...

Yesterday's price action in the face of what many complacently assumed would be a slam-dunk energy sector selloff in the face of Trump pulling the U.S. out of the Iran pact is a good example of why we use charts to guide us.

When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Go to Strong Island

As human beings, all but the darkest and most evil of souls could never root for a global pandemic to materialize. Even the Ebola scare in 2014, for example, could not hold equities down for very long. But if there is another scare, or something worse, on the horizon, with the latest Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo making...
