Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

As with most aspects of life, the art of timing matters and is often rather significant. And when it comes to cinema and television series, that philosophy holds true to a greater degree.

And SQM, one of the major lithium-related players, a Chilean ag, looks as enticing as any on the long side with earnings not until around Thanksgiving. On the SQM daily chart, below, you can...

Competing Forces

Sluggish action from the major indices appears to stand in stark contrast to some exciting action in select names throughout the tape, such as PFPT or UCTT, among others.

Young Prospects Coming of Age

Using Facebook in 2013 as a blueprint of sorts, the likes of Snapchat and Twitter, among others, can only hope to emulate FB's subsequent share price action up until the present.

Lest we forget about the work-life millennial balance, however, on the work end of the spectrum we also have Twilio,...
