A Skirmish or Something More

It seems fitting that today, April 19th, is the anniversary of "The shot heard round the world," which of course refers to the opening shot of the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775.

Can Shorts Continue to DOGE This Bullet?

Sectors with No Sex Appeal Should Rope in the Bear

Never Show Your Fangs Unless You Intend to Use Them

[Michelle Pfeiffer in the film, Wolf (1994)] Amid the Coinbase IPO today, we are seeing some initial sell-the-news reactions in the likes of MARA and RIOT. However, the day is still young, and I would not be in there shorting those high beta monsters with so much of the session to go. But the larger issue for me today is the overlooked...

Then again, with all of the vaccines being rushed in just one year, when most vaccines can take up to a decade, we ought not be surprised at all to see setbacks. From a market...
