Payments Under the Christmas Tree

Payments growth leader Square has fallen off the radar from many traders for a good while now, and rightfully so. On the second weekly chart, below, Jack Dorsey's other firm, SQ, topped out back in very early-October 2018 and has since been a glaring laggard amid various cycles when software and growth stocks were hot as can be.

It's Not OK to Overlook Snap, Boomer

Late-last year shares of SNAP slumped as low as a $4-handle, easily one of the more ferocious decline during the broad market fourth quarter correction of 2018, with bears declaring the name to be imminently dead and a social media/app fad which had since run its course.

Remember American Express?

Still in the Dow. Still relevant. Still an iconic brand. With the Dow Jones Industrial Average surging up and out of a multi-month/quarter consolidation, it is hard not to think that AXP will reemerge as more of a high profile stock, once again. Inside Market Chess Subscription Services, we noted the name for Members this morning as breaking...

A Journey Full of Danger

You just knew there would be the inevitable adversity as energy stocks embark on their journey to cement a major bottom. Just this morning, for example, the sector is fighting to shrug off FANG or Diamondback Energy's roughly 13% post-earnings selloff. The good news is that Whiting Petroleum (WLL) actually went green this morning off its own...
