Let's Pretend to Be Intellectual Stoners with This Play

Some of the more prominent and liquid marijuana plays are running today, namely GWPH and INSY. While those two issues are, indeed, a more conventional and less risky way to play the pot theme becoming increasingly legalized across the country than playing Pink Sheet bingo, let us not get too far ahead of ourselves and declare them to be blue...

Winter is Over But the Goose Might Not be Cooked

Equities are off session highs in the final hour as I write this, as Netflix earnings tonight linger. All things considered, though, barring a horrifying crash into the bell bulls can likely take solace in the lack of real panic or fear on the back of the headlines over the weekend.  The S&P 500 Index is initially pausing at its declining...

We shall see if TRIP bulls "get it" like Tony Soprano does art the end of this clip and his peyote excursion in Las Vegas. But there is no denying the chart has improved in a hot sector, with BKNG (Priceline) still the kingpin and MMYT over in India looking sharp.

War is Hell But This Market is in Purgatory

And a film which automatically comes to mind regarding that topic is t he uproarious comedy, Divorce Italian Style  (1961), starring the great Marcello Mastroianni in his prime.

It's Not a Real Rally Until Things Get a Bit Trashy

Bulls were able to absorb a few vicious body shots this week from bears and are now threatening to turn the tables on those with an ursine bias as we speak. At the moment, the Nasdaq is pushing multi-week highs and a fade attempt about an hour morphed into a larger intraday base.  Headed into the heart of the afternoon session, I am looking to...
