Time for Sil to Be More Than the Number Two Guy
SIL, sector ETF dedicated to silver mining stocks, rightly get overlooked compared to GDX (ETF for senior gold miners) and GDXJ (junior gold miners) for a few reasons. First and foremost, SIL is such more thinly traded in terms of volume than both GDX and GDXJ. Silver miners in general have also been extremely disappointing at various intervals...

You Cannot Beat This View
As Brazil inaugurates President Jair Bolsonaro, it is worth reiterating a point we made just before Christmas--Quite a few Brazil stocks which trade here in America have been acting remarkably well, all things considered. In particular, compared to other BRIC countries ("BRIC" is an acronym standing for Brazil, Russia, India, China), the...

Sunday Matinée at Market Chess Cinemas
Easily one of the best films of 2018, The Mule is another example of how Clint Eastwood has developed as an auteur (here, starring in the lead, directing, and producing the film). His film-making style is deep yet simple, stylish yet minimal, and he manages to pull you in for another exhilarating ride like he has on several occasions since ...

Cool Bounce...Now, What?
I have spent better part of this morning's session unloading some longs into strength, as I suspect the market could easily calm down after an exciting few sessions (well, afternoons, at least) for bulls. New Year's Eve on Monday is going to be a full session, but by then it would not surprise me to see some last-minute selling as everyone...

Friendly Reminder: Don't Be a Blaster
One of the core concepts we preach inside Market Chess Subscription Services is to not give in to the temptation to blast "all-in" long or short to a given market based on a whim.

Use Goldman for What it is Worth
Besides almost never trading shares of Goldman Sachs, I find the firm's general arrogance rather off-putting. Former CEO Lloyd Blankfein infamous 2009 comment that he's "doing god's work" as a banker did not do the firm any favors, to be sure, from a public relations standpoint. Recently, the stock has been free-falling on mounting leveraged...

Coming up on an early, 1pm EST close today, the price action in gold and her miners is once again impressive on many fronts.
