Now That Inflation is Within Everyone's Sight...

Back around last Halloween the very idea of being bullish oil and energy stocks was literally laughed off the air on financial news television and social media alike. We took a contrarian approach that the energy stocks were likely in the "apathy' phase on the back of the fear and crash the prior spring. With Brent crude currently at $60 per...

The Dogecoin Days of Winter

Given the tune of many of his tweets over the last several weeks, seeing TSLA CEO Elon Musk make a substantial investment in Bitcoin this morning ought not to be too much of a surprise. Crypto-related stocks like MSTR have been screaming higher for a good while now, which begs the question of whether the massive gap this morning amounts to the...

Something for You Old School Readers

Over ten years ago, the stock market had been melting higher day after day, week after week, and then month after month since the March 2009 bear market bottom.
