They Have No Idea How Bad it is Right Now; None!
If ever there were a time for another Jim Cramer, "They Know Nothing" rant about The Fed, like we saw (below) in the summer 2007 as Cramer (correctly) discerned that deflation would eventually be the real culprit rather than inflation, now would seem to be it. Only now the real issue is inflation, as evidenced by the red-hot PPI and now CPI...

Who Needs the Wheat Belly Anyway?
Headed into the bell of one of the more interesting sessions we have had in a good while, bulls are contending today's dump in TSLA is basically a mere shakeout, while bears are looking at it as the start of a larger pullback. There is evidence, as usual, to cherry-pikc on both sides, be it the resilience in names like AMZN, for example, of...

Tesla Snapped Off: Now We Watch Chips
The sharp plunge lower in TSLA this morning ought to be viewed as a shot across the bow of sorts, reminding us that the fun, jubilant gamma squeezes on the way up may make the market appear as a cute little piggy bank dispensing life-changing money at will. But on the downside, those moves become all the more intense and initiates many a...

It's Pretty, It's So Pretty
Tons of materials miners, precious and otherwise, are setting up nicely from a technical standpoint and also represent genuine value in terms of their exceedingly low PE ratios and attractive cash flows.

Hey, Henry: Here's a Wing!
Several weeks back, we were fortunate to sell a BTU long into the enormous green candle seen on the coal firm's updated daily chart, below. Since then, the stock suffered a sickening dive, reminding us all that even if we are in the early stages of a new commodity bull run, volatility in this asset class is unique and violent compared to what...

Battlefield Adjustments
I just sent out a video to VIP Members (where we focus on long-term investing ideas) notifying them that I decided to sell entirely out of my Pfizer long into the latest news of their drug. Just as with my TWTR sale in the long-term portfolio late into this most recent summer, selling PFE here may feel like I am too early (and it may very well...

The Most Heinous Sounding Pair Trade in the World Right Now
it is almost criminal to consider shorting the Nasdaq at this point, what with its one-way melt-up and daily buy program frenzy which seems to run into any initial opening bell weakness we see. And with that, QQQ (second daily chart, below) is up by more than 1% again as I write this, with NVDA surging this time and TSLA featuring a modest gap...

Burning Time Until the FOMC
The massive pop--and now drop--in shares of meme stock favorite GME (daily chart, below) so far today seems like a sign that market players are merely occupying their time until the FOMC later today. It is widely expected, by now, that Fed Chair Jay Powell will actually go through with a tapering of asset purchases on a monthly basis. But what...
