Winter is Coming, And So Are Value Players for CVS

I have been through enough rodeos to know that markets are always full of surprises, and taking any scenario for granted as a foregone conclusion is awfully brazen.

Tools to Fight Inflation

Fed Chair Jay Powell continues to be rather cavalier in his approach to inflation, recently unveiling a likely tapering schedule but still downplaying the lasting impact of higher prices. His go-to phrase of late is the flippant, "We have tools," in case inflation is not transitory. But as energy prices gather steam to the point of being a...

Promises Were Made; Promises Will Be Kept

While far from an exact promise, to be fair, we know The Fed has almost assuredly put out enough feelers, trial balloons via The Wall Street Journal and other sources, and fair warnings to markets in general of an announcement later today for a taper in 2021 for it to actually happen at 2pm EST today.

(Angry Protein Cat courtesy of @TedNaiman) After catching a Morgan Stanley upgrade this morning, one of our Members astutely flagged Hostess Brands as an intriguing long idea, as MS slapped a $20 upside price target on it.

Boeing Has Achieved Maximum Flying Altitude

Several names which became synonymous with the epic bull run off the March 2020 lows are now displaying notable signs of fatigue, with little in the way of acknowledgment from market players and pundits alike.
