Back to the Future Earnings

After trading higher last evening after earnings, spieling over into the pre-market trading this morning too, software growth play Twilio is suffering a classic "sell the good news" reaction during the cash session. As I write this, TWLO is off by more than 4.4% and sporting a rather ugly candlestick so far, as seen on the updated daily chart,...

Ready for Another Round?

Bulls are doing their best to shake off the ugly GOOGL selling today, although as I noted this morning when you put the Alphabet selloff into context of the overall chart it is tough to argue that the stock is crashing or dead in the water.

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

I had originally blown off watching Shutter Island (2010) for a good many years, as I had surmised from the previews that the film would be an exploitative adaptation of ‎Dennis Lehane's fine novel of the same name. In other words, I erroneously inferred from the previews, and then reviews, that the film essentially devolved into lead actor...

A Far Cry from the Pony Express

One of the more fascinating ETFs to track in the coming quarters is the IPAY, focused on mobile payments plays. The ETF's prospectus notes that its mission statement, essentially, is to capitalizes on the shift from credit card and cash transactions to digital and electronic. There are several interesting ways to play this theme, with prominent...
