That's Enough Dip

Despite plenty of room for the Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq to all come in for likely healthy and overdue pullbacks to test a modest reference point like their respective 20-day simple moving averages, the small caps do not quite have that kind of leeway. On the updated daily chart for IWM, ETF for the small caps of the Russell 2000 Index, below, we...

Hey, SIL, Let Me Hear It

Silver is finally waking up today and getting the message after lagging the gold rally for quite some time. SLV is the ETF for silver, a precious metal with more practical industrial application than gold. In addition, SIL is the ETF for silver miners, or at least miners with a modicum of exposure to silver. SIL clearly is an overlooked ETF...

Remember Denny Crane?

Back on February 21, 2018, The Priceline Group Inc. changed the name of its company to Booking Holdings, and its ticker symbol from PCLN to BKNG about a week later. Since then, BKNG has seemingly become less visible as a ticker and market growth leader than PCLN once was, back in its heyday of William Shatner's snazzy commercial advertisements...

Holding Up Like a Legend

The turnaround job that CEO Brian Niccol has done at Chipotle is nothing short of spectacular, as the stock came within a few measly bucks of surpassing its prior, late-2015 all-time highs earlier this week. Back then, CMG soon faltered and dove from $758 down to $247 by the time Niccol took over in the winter of 2018. That horrifying slide...

A Weird Vibe: Twitter is Down

It looks like not only shares of Twitter are down today, dipping after a nice rally, but the platform itself has been down for the last twenty minutes or so. In Twitter time, that is a long period to go with an outage, and this is the longest outage I can actually remember for the platform in a good while. As for TWTR the stock, I still love...

If They Go Down, They're Taking Us with Them

Despite the Dow up by triple-digits this morning, thanks in large part to UNH rallying on Trump Administration news, plenty of names on my screen are red with little in the way of an inspiring bounce yet. Small caps continue to be a good day-to-day "tell" for risk appetite in this market. So it is no surprising to see the IWM ETF down by about...
