Commodity Stocks Are Rallying to Incredibly Muted Sentiment
Tempting as it may be to join the chorus of throwing cold water on all things inflation, it is worth noting that even an inflationary "head-fake" can last a few innings longer than most expect before the "party" ends. Thus, as commodity-related stocks shine again today in many corners of the market, especially oil, uranium, tankers, steels,...

Memorial Day Tribute
Whereas Veterans Day in November recognizes all who have served in the Armed Forces, this Memorial Day holiday honors those who have died serving in the military, giving the ultimate sacrifice for country.

I Proclaim This, "The Summer of Gold!"
If you have never traded through the typical summer doldrums in markets, we are getting a pretty good example of them today. With the exception of meme stocks acting strongly, like AMC and GME, and a few others like AHT, most of the price action has been what can best be described as soggy.

Remarkable Work At Sea
It is likely that most market players and pundits alike, with the exception of "Roaring Kitty" and similar WallStreetBets/meme stock enthusiasts, expected shares of GME by now to be back in the double-digits, if not the teens, or worse.

Cold Drinks for the Hot Summer
With a long, hot summer approaching, what better time than now to hone in on up-and-coming beverage plays, especially with the potential for a few more M&A deals? Of course, beyond mere conjecture we want to have the technicals working in our favor. Last week, we profiled Celsius Holdings (CELH) both here and as a play inside Market Chess...
