Propeller Plane Trading Session

Probably the worst flight I ever experienced was over twenty years ago on a ninety minute propeller plane ride in Italy from Rome to Florence into the teeth of a rainstorm. Because of the short flight time we of course flew at a lower altitude and thus the plane got bumped around to no end with some (apparent) somersaults to boot. Needless to...

Got Brine on My Mind

Brining, a method used centuries ago to preserve food (mainly meats) from harmful bacteria growth, becomes all the more relevant these days for Thanksgiving not for hygienic reasons but rather as a way to tenderize the tough, lean meat of the bird. Some spices, vinegars, even a little booze, among other goodies, all help to ensure that your...

Price is What You Pay; Value is What You Get

As a protracted bear market continues to unfold you will eventually see the pundits on financial news television pivot (wink, wink) from steadfast bullish predictions into blasting markets for being irrational and thus creating compelling "values" across the board.

Putting Out Fires

Saudi Arabia came out and denied the earlier reports of an OPEC supply boost, and now we have crude rallying back to flat on the session after a massive gap down this morning.

More Drama

News of the Saudis eyeing a surprise production increase in oil is seeing crude dump out again and can probably explain the recent weakness before the news dropped, too. All of this is happening as we still wait for China to fully re-open. As a result, oil stocks in the OIH XLE XOP ETFs are mostly taking it on the chin to kick off the...

Dances with Bullard

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard, not one shy to make headlines, was out and about this morning spouting some rather hawkish monetary rhetoric . The U.S. Dollar caught a solid bid off the news, and we can see the continued inverse correlation between the Dollar and most stocks/most commodities as the latter are...
