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...

All-American Metals

While I remain long-term bullish on some global material mining giants like BHP (Australia) and PKX (South Korea), it is hard not to look out to the coming midterm elections in November and consider that President Trump (and VP Pence) will be pushing the "American worker" in the midwest theme hard, once again.

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

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...

Another Scavenger Hunt of Sorts

Valeant is up nicely after earnings this morning, a name which is practically infamous at this point given that it was the scene of one of Bill Ackman's biggest losses when he realized his mistake both in literal (selling out of his position) and figurative terms, acknowledging his stubbornness during VRX's devastating, unforgiving downtrend...
