The Stock Market's Version of April Showers

Soggy underlying price action in equities continues to be the predominant theme of late, as many traders are understandably frustrated with the senior indices still operating basically right at all-time highs. The growth standouts which suffered harsh corrections this winter have staged mostly...

The True Head of the American Alliance from Jump Street

Tobacco and North America have been the true dynamic duo, long before the founding of the United States of America. Evidence suggests tobacco was growing in North America by 6,000 BCE, and smoking tobacco leaves may have been practiced on the continent for 2,300 years. Furthermore, settlers grew tobacco in the streets of Jamestown (America's...

A Skirmish or Something More

It seems fitting that today, April 19th, is the anniversary of "The shot heard round the world," which of course refers to the opening shot of the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775.

Napoleon Complex No More

It is quite easy these days on Wall Street to fall victim to sensory overload, be it the crypto craze and COIN IPO, pandemic fallout and debate over which industries come back and when, The Fed, rates, our political system at-large, among many other issues.

Never Show Your Fangs Unless You Intend to Use Them

[Michelle Pfeiffer in the film, Wolf (1994)] Amid the Coinbase IPO today, we are seeing some initial sell-the-news reactions in the likes of MARA and RIOT.
