More Combat in Close Quarters

After an impressive showing yesterday, bulls are suddenly finding their backs against the wall this morning with a violent move lower on the indices in the opening ninety minutes of trading.

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

Brick (2005) is a valiant attempt by writer/director Rian Johnson at a neo-noir applied to the millennial generation.

Turkey for Me, Turkey for You

With the Turkish Lira essentially crashing this morning as their President seemingly acts out of desperation and panic , equities are down here in the U.S. on concerns of a possibly European contagion redux of what we saw a few years back.
