Summer Sleepers

It turned into another spotty summer rally today, with the early small cap reversal down impeding the bulls' hope for a spirited, broad-based move higher. As we discussed with Members earlier, the market seems to be morphing into a daily game of Whac-A-Mole at times, as the sector rotations are becoming more frequent and ephemeral. And with...

Grip it and Rip It

With Topgolf establishments (owned in part by ELY, Callaway Golf) popping up around the country, the main takeaway is impressive demand by consumers for the business model of combining a bar/dining experience with a golf driving range. On that note, Drive Shack is an emerging competitor to Topgolf, with plenty of potential growth ahead in its...

The Coast is Not Fully Clear

Despite a 200 point-plus rally this morning in the Dow, the Nasdaq and small caps are noticeably lagging on a percentage basis.

Let Me See Your Trade War Face

It is shaping up to be a rather amusing tidbit, regarding this week's price action in equities, that one of the few victories bears can claim is that failure of Tesla Motors to not only cement a runaway short squeeze higher after a promising rally in June, but TSLA then lost its 200-day simple moving average amid high volume selling as its...

Rays of Light for Biotech Bulls

It is tough to argue with the notion that many large cap biotechnology issues, housed in the IBB ETF, have been a drag on the sector as a whole for a good while now.
