If a Netflix Falls in the Forest

As we discussed in the full recap for Members last evening, as well as the brief video here, the total lack of dip-buying interest in Netflix since its earnings gap down last week seems to continue to go virtually unnoticed by the market. To be fair, there are plenty of other headlines, stock, issues, and concerns to fret over. But NFLX has...

Taking Big Tech to Task

With the CEOs of FB GOOGL and TWTR getting grilled today on Capitol Hill regarding the variety of exclusions they enjoy (Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, especially), the current mega cap landscape at least somewhat rhymes with the railroad trusts in this country over a century ago. Back then, Teddy Roosevelt earned a reputation...

Circus Acts and Sectors

This morning's tape has the look and feel for a circus performer negotiating a complex juggling act, with tech leading and feeding off the AMD for XLNX deal (and MSFT earnings tonight), while small caps and some Dow names lag. Even with Congress adjourned until after the election, there remains dimming hopes for a stimulus deal. However, the...

A Case of the Mondays Before Big Thursday

An outlier red Monday morning open is shaking things up a bit for what has mostly been a one-way market for a while now, despite some quiet consolidations below the surface. As I write this, the senior indices are off by about 1% with the notable exception of tech outperforming--Perhaps it is a replay of February/March, where names like AMZN ZM...

This Market Reminds Me of a Story

Many, many, years ago, and in a pre-9/11 lifetime, I found myself on the American Airlines Shuttle from New York to Washington D.C.. Due to the very short amount of time the shuttle flight is actually in the air, we were flying at a low altitude on a windy, rainy day. The pilot looked young, and the plane got bumped around more than any other...

No Dice

Although my suspicions of a shocking trend day lower in favor of bears looked promising early on in the session, the multitude of breaking news headlines about the imminent of all imminent stimulus deals seems to still have a notable effect on whipsawing the market back higher at the most (in)opportune of times. Recent IPOs like SNOW and PLTR...
