A Shopping List for the Proper Aisle

Equities are ignoring a few earnings duds this morning, namely COUP LULU WORK, to snap back after the last few sessions of a tech-led dive off recent highs. While seeing a bounce in the face of the financial media repeating the arbitrary "10% correction" threshold for the Nasdaq is none too surprising in the near-term, from a contrarian...

Be Willing to Say Goodbye to Summer

Take this as a quick and friendly reminder that Wall Street has an extensive history of changing with the seasons. Specifically, during various turbulent years where summer has served as a reprieve for bulls, such as this one, once the "Varsity" traders return from The Hamptons and Cape Cod after Labor Day we often see the reality of cooler...

Shell-Shocked U.S. Dollar Fighting to Survive

It has been a rough summer for the greenback, as plenty of price weakness versus most global major currencies combined with souring sentiment and calls for the eventual demise of the U.S. Dollar as the world's reserve currency seem to have rendered it punch drunk. To add insult to injury, our esteemed Fed Chair, Jay Powell, waged a kind of...

Truly a Sight to Behold

I am mostly sitting out of the never-ending Nasdaq party we are witnessing. Although by now I am sure you have heard plenty of bubble talk and comparisons to 2000, the quarterly chart of the QQQ (which is the ETF for the NDX, or the index of the top-100 market cap weighed stocks in the Nasdaq Composite), below, illustrates the size and scope of...
