The Old Man Potter Trade

Rates may be pausing a bit today, but after the recent rise and then fall in TLT (ETF of prices for Treasuries, inverse to rates) I am looking for rates to move higher into year end and reflect the inflationary pressures despite all of The Fed's interventions into fixed income. As such, regional banks should be kept on watch on the long side,...

Revise Your Definition of "Sexy" Before 2022 Comes

Your definition of a "sexy" stock and sector right now probably centers around growth metrics, momentum popularity, and the general ability of a stock to appreciate 10,000% in a matter of moments, as we have seen with AMC GME, CAR, DWAC, and a plethora of names related to crypto, just as a few examples. Headed into 2022, however, we have...

Be an Authentic Leader

One of the more enjoyable aspects about being a lone wolf here at Market Chess is the lack of pressure to express a bias or view through my content which is not 100% authentic. You will never see me deleting market-related tweets on Twitter or Stocktwits for example (occasionally I may delete an off-topic joke which receives crickets or one...

Disney Earnings Tonight: Trap in the House of Mouse?

Unless you have been following the stock closely, you would probably never guess that Disney has been trading below its 200-day simple moving average (arrow to yellow line on daily chart, below) for a little less than two months now.

They Have No Idea How Bad it is Right Now; None!

Who Needs the Wheat Belly Anyway?

Headed into the bell of one of the more interesting sessions we have had in a good while, bulls are contending today's dump in TSLA is basically a mere shakeout, while bears are looking at it as the start of a larger pullback. There is evidence, as usual, to cherry-pikc on both sides, be it the resilience in names like AMZN, for example, of...
