A Hot Attraction Gone Cold

It is not just Qualcomm anymore. The semiconductors, as a group, are now under pressure and that seems to be concerning to equities now, too. For a while now, QCOM was deemed a special situation for us inside Market Chess Subscription Services, as we shorted the name recently as well as earlier this year into its massive spike down. But the...

Whole Foods Fighting Food Deflation One $6 Asparagus Water Bottle at a Time

Into what has turned out to be a quiet afternoon, Whole Foods got its activist investor, in Jana, and subsequent rally. Interestingly, Jana mentioned food deflation as one of the great struggles for WFM, and suggested the firm should put itself up for sale.

Chipotle's Chart and Its Plan to Win

It may be well over ten years since McDonald's spun off Chipotle Mexican Grill, but CMG is now trying to stage a turnaround not unlike what MCD did in the wake of the "Super Size Me" controversy around 2004.

With global tensions rising, now would seem to be the proper time for uranium stocks to wake up from a multi-month nap.

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993) is certainly one of those films which seems to have stood the test of time, as poignant now as it was in the early-1990s, chronicling all of the unintended issues encountered when a father learns that his prepubescent son is a chess prodigy. Having played tournament chess myself and been a nationally-ranked...

The Last Good Hustle

In light of some buzz earlier this year about Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger at Berkshire Hathaway singing a much more bullish tune on the airline sector than at any other time in their (extensive) lives, one cannot help but speculate on which airlines may be most ripe for a Berkshire buyout. Much like "Fast Eddie" Felson in The Color...

The Best of War and More: Spill the Futures, Dig That Girl

Fireworks in the futures markets last evening has apparently not added up to much today, as the U.S. airstrikes in Syria coupled with a dismal jobs number this morning still saw dip-buyers stepping in to try to stabilize the major averages. As I write this, all major averages are slightly green, with obvious war-related plays like RTN dealing...
