Don't Forget About the Boogeyman in the Dark
With the looming U.S. ban on Russian oil being announced by President Biden within the hour, coupled with the ongoing messy price action in most stocks, it is rather easy to overlook the bond market here. After all, rates have relaxed a bit the last few weeks as TLT (Treasury prices) rose. However, the threat of a major regime change (i.e....

That Oil Ain't Gonna Move Itself
As crude chugs on higher and U.S. officials are sweet talking the likes of Venezuela and the Saudis for more oil, we know that the oil cannot move itself. Indeed, as we noted last week the likes of DSX GNK FRO are all nicely higher today, with a special shout-out the oil tankers like FRO. On that note, Teekay, below on its daily chart, is...

Fill in the Blank: If Apple Goes, the Market ____
Currently sitting on a $2.6 trillion market cap, and a major weighting in the Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq ETFs (!), Apple Inc., below on its daily chart, arguably has been a major reason why the market feels like it has been bad but could indeed have been much worse (so far) given the new flow and underlying technical deterioration. But that raises...

Real Assets Get the Biddies
Play stupid monetary games. Win stupid monetary prizes. Although The Fed's historically accommodative policies since the global financial crisis have been lauded frequently over the years for having spread prosperity and apparently saved the world, we seem to be in the (still) early stages of now seeing the true consequences of such...

Best Buy: Exhibit A Why Value Wins Over Growth Going Forward
As market payers all filed into the likes of COST and HD, not to mention LOW or even TGT WMT, the last few years among the big box/volume retailers in a ZIRP/TINA environment, little old Best Buy quietly plodded either sideways or higher well under the radar. Best Buy, a name we bought with VIP Members in the long-term investing arm of the...

Warning: This is How Advanced Civilizations Go Downhill Fast
Since gradualism, can-kicking, and carefully choosing words seems to be all the rage among both Fed Chair Jay Powell and many inflation-will-recede-sooners, allow me to be blunt: America was this close to rampant, runaway hyperinflation in the late-1970s until former Fed Chair Paul Volcker summoned the intestinal fortitude to be the bad guy...

Genco: More Than Just Olive Oil
As commodities boom virtually all plays ancillary to their success are in focus to participate as well. U.S.-based Genco Shipping, below on its daily chart, is one such idea, a dry bulk shipper which transports iron ore, coal, grain, and steel products, just to name a few. You can see GNK consolidating fairly well around the $20 level after a...

Bear Market Blues; Bell Bottom Blues
In a scene reminiscent of the 1970s stagflation era, commodities are ruling the roost while former growth leaders (not unlike the "Nifty Fifty" of that time period) disappoint hopeful dip-buyers. As we speak this morning, most commodities are on full display, be it crude, wheat and corn, palladium, and now gold and silver. I went long silver...
