Considering how volatile of a stock, company, and CEO Tesla has surrounding the news flow and rumors (founded or not), it is rather remarkable that the long-term view has remain relatively...

Grandma Bear Got Run Over By a Reindeer and a Trade War Tweet

Another round of renewed optimism for an imminent "big deal" with China seems to have coincided with a nice pop in the broad market this morning not long after the opening bell rang.

The Perfect Setup

Admittedly talking my own book (with a stop-loss below $25), I view Scientific Games Corporation (SGMS) as being in the sweetest of sweet spots on several levels from a bullish perspective.
