Reflecting on Pot and Crypto Stocks

Much like the crypto-currency related stocks, cannabis stocks have a cultish following which roars in unison each and every time the sector experiences a bounce.  Of course, neither faction seems to have fully embraced the idea that many of the stocks in the pot and crypto space are shells of their former technical selves, as the likes of ACB...

Market Chess Presents: NFL Divisional Round Picks and Discussion

In the interest of having some fun, we look at the coming NFL Divisional Round playoff games tonight and tomorrow.

I Like My Nose, Mrs. Mulwray

All things considered, the further push higher in equities this morning seems just a bit too easy for bulls. We have indeed weathered a whirlwind bunch of headlines and potential market shocks over the last week or so, with shorts finding themselves trapped badly more often than not. Case in point: Tesla has been on a seemingly never-ending...

Since its 2018 IPO, as you can see on the zoomed-out daily chart, below, SVMK has knocked out a large range in the teens but, mostly, has fallen into the shadows amid the...

Relax and Enjoy the Game

If nothing else, the BREXIT and President Trump initial selloffs overnight in the futures markets back in 2016 should have been a lesson heeded that markets which are in established uptrends rarely "crash from the top." In other words, the knee-jerk reaction for many during those futures selloffs in June 2016 for BREXIT and then November 2016...

The Party, The Hangover, Then the Opportunity

UBER, LYFT, and BYND were three of the hotter IPOs from the spring of 2019. There was indeed much ballyhoo surrounding all three IPOs, as all three stocks enjoyed initial sharp rallies before running into some heavy and steady selling ever since, for the most part.  It is understandable why the hoopla surrounding Uber, Lyft, and Beyond Meat was...

Here's the Thing...

Software is rather impressive today as we (and many others) noted earlier. Biotechs reversed back to green, as did the indices.  But here's the thing... Something slipped through the cracks today which normally would have garnered more attention.  Yum Brands (YUM, owner of KFC, Taco Bell, etc.) is going to buy Habit Burger Grill (HABT) at $14...

The Linchpin for This Market Right Now

A linchpin, also spelled linch pin, lynchpin, or lynch pin, is a fastener used to prevent a wheel or other part from sliding off the axle upon which it is riding. With continued headlines regarding escalating tensions towards Iran over the weekend, not to mention a still-elevated CNN Fear & Greed Index (although there still may be too many...
