Chop Suey Cafe

Impressive follow-through strength in the U.S. Dollar, whose ETF (versus a basket of developed economies' currencies), is below on the updated daily chart, may not be a factor for stocks in terms of inverse correlation. But it sure seems to be hitting gold rather hard this morning. Another likely factor to the gold/silver/miner dump besides a...

Jeff Bezos to Us: "Good Luck, Pendejos"

It may as well have been a decade ago, but it was actually around this time just last year that the market was melting higher...and then we suddenly got hit with a barrage of headlines regarding prominent CEOs and major players on the Board of major firms stepping down mostly "for personal reasons," or something to that effect. The most...

Let's Get Down to Silver Tacks

Although I was skeptical of holding a silver miner I had swung long over the weekend and elected to sell first thing yesterday at the opening bell, I am also reticent to describe the current price action in silver as a classic "bull trap." In order to be a bull trap, silver and its derivative miners (likely dragging gold and gold miners with...

Don't Let Them Steal Your Joy

Many speculators and gamblers love to project their own misery and insecurities onto others, which can make markets a rather cold place at times. For younger and/or newcomer traders who hopped on the Reddit/WallStreetBets movement over the past few weeks, today's AMC GME crash (not mention SLV down 7%) serves as fodder for some obnoxious market...

I'm Sorry I Ruined Your Silver Party

Amid U.S. Dollar strength on top of more eyes on--and discussion of--silver than one can recall in recent memory, I elected to sell out of a silver miner long first thing this morning inside Market Chess Subscription Services. While I recognize the Reddit phenomenon may very well catapult silver and the miners much higher, trading with a crowd...

Super Bowl Betting Strategy

Last Sunday before the NFC and AFC Championships games I posted my picks against the spread on Instagram here . With a little more than a week before Super Bowl LV in Tampa, it may seem too early to discuss the big game. However, I suspect many of you are a bit burned-out from the GME/AMC/Robinhood/Reddit saga of late and can use a change of...

A Street Smart's Guide to Short-Selling

As though short-selling had not been challenging enough in the age of The Fed's historically easy policies, not to mention coming off four years of the a multitude of futures markets "Trump pumps," it has not become heresy in a populist age to be identified with virtually any short. Of course, I see both sides of the issue. And I have no...
