Embarking on a New Journey...or Not

It remains to be seen if The Fed will truly signal some sort of long-term regime change later this week at the next FOMC and Chair Powell presser, even if they take no immediate action. Until then, we have a mixed tape with tech and growth stocks continuing to enjoy a reprieve of sorts even as rates inch back higher. Indeed, as I write this the...

The Breakout That Never Was

One of the consequences of natural gas being such an out of favor and, at various times, a downright laughable laggard even within a commodities space in a long ice age type of bear market over the last 5-10 years or so is that when we do see actual progress in natty, many are prone not only to doubt it but also to straight up ignore it. ...

Some Hors D'oeuvres Out of the Way

Although it may seem like we have just had some major events, between GME earnings and then the CPI data this morning, the reality is that those are mere hors d'oeuvres compared to the coming FOMC next Wednesday. Thus, even as equities appear initially to have absorbed a hot CPI reading fairly well so far this morning after initial whipsaws off...

GameStop Battle At Dusk

As recently as early-January of this year, it would have been hard to fathom that any given GameStop earnings report would have much of an effect, if any, on virtually any other stock in the market beyond GME itself. And, yet, as we head into GME earnings this evening after the bell, a colorable argument can be made that much of the near-term...

The Daily Squeeze

It will not last forever, and it may very well be headed for trouble tonight with GME earnings, but the daily squeeze continues amid a mixed tape this morning. Two ideas which are not extended, heavily-shorted, and participated to some degree in the meme stock bonanza last winter are: Macy's (M) and Tootsie Roll (TR), both coiled up...

Wendy's: Closing it on Reddit

With a revamped and innovative menu, many updated stores, and probably the most appealing corporate social media account out there, it was not necessarily an easy decision for me to sell Wendy's as a long-term investment this morning. However, as I just noted in an email to VIP Members of the long-term investing arm of the service, the...

A Party is a Party is a Party

It may be just a lull before the FOMC next week, if not GME earnings later this week, but the small caps in the IWM (ETF for the small cap-dominated Russell 2000 Index, on its daily chart, below) is making its case today that a viable, multi-month breakout could be in the works. You can see for yourself how significant the $230 level has been...
