Hey Bears, How About a Courtesy Flush?

The aggressive re-pricing of high-flying software play FSLY after lowered guidance, combined with the dimming prospects with an imminent stimulus deal (not to mention lingering issues of, perhaps, a new round of second wave pandemic restrictions) are all weighing on the broad market this morning. Bulls are rebutting the FSLY-pricked-the-bubble...

Firing Back with a Purpose

This morning seems like a good time to reiterate that oil stocks continue to be very much out of favor on The Street, and likely will continue to be for the foreseeable future regardless of what actually happens in the coming General Election. Simply put, the AAPL AMZN NIO types of names will continue to capture the hearts and minds of most...

Gamers and Their Dorky GameStop Schadenfreude

I am well aware that many a gamer still harbors ill will towards GameStop (GME) for various transgressions over the years, namely low-balling customers during their bartering process. However, if those gamer nerds grew some bear claws as they became older and lusted after short-selling GME into the ground as a new era Blockbuster video they...

Kafkaesque Rally

Definition of Kafkaesque : of, relating to, or suggestive of Franz Kafka or his writings especially : having a nightmarishly complex, bizarre, or illogical quality Merriam-Webster could easily use Kafkaesque in a sentence to describe the current market rally, with trillion dollar market cap firms like AAPL AMZN exploding higher while a...

This Bull Market is an Idea, Not an Organization

The current market has become so bullish that the mere idea of an upcoming event, be it an AMZN Prime Day, AAPL Day, a potential Stimulus Deal still in limbo, an Election, etc. are all viewed through the lens as advancing the bull thesis for higher prices. When it comes to high-flying tech, at least, this tape is kind of like the mirror...

Buy the Rumor, Buy the News; Buy All the Pies There's No Surprise

A particularly optimistic rally this week (although some would argue it is merely "chasing" longs higher) is all the more impressive when we consider the expected-but-still-in-limbo passage of an imminent Stimulus Deal and/or lower odds of a contested election in a few weeks, not to mention a looming new earnings season next week amid a second...

One for the Crypto Bros

While I remain more bullish on gold, silver, and the precious miners, not to mention non-precious base miners and now deep value oil stocks over the long run if we are indeed headed into a new inflationary regime, it is hard not to notice Bitcoin's and the several crypto-related stocks moving sharply higher today. I would be remiss not to...
