Market Chess Cinemas: Quarantine Edition

I raved on Twitter about "Mankind: The Story of All of Us," a 2012 miniseries with twelve episodes. So, I might as well make it official and give this production its due. Available on Amazon Prime, the miniseries originally appeared on History channel. Josh Brolin's narration captures the spellbinding nature of tracing human's history form the...

Remember the Alamos

Now would probably as good of a time as any to remind all of us (including myself) that the total amount of gold mined in our history, since the Egyptians began mining gold before 2000 BC., would fill a little more than three Olympic sized swimming pools. Of course, I raise this point as The Fed aggressively adopts not only the Bernanke 2008...

Not Just a Cog

Even with news of Russia and the Saudis agreeing to cut oil output in principle at the latest OPEC Meeting, it remains to be seen if oil can form a more tangible bottom.

The small caps in the Russell 2000 Index are clearly outpacing the the senior indices, most likely a...

The Sound of Movement

The sheer velocity of the last two overnight gaps higher on the indices speaks to how vicious relief rallies can be in the midst of bearish trends. While it is true that there may be some debate as to whether any bear market has been terminated, the reality is that as we speak today all of the major indices, be it the Dow, S&P, Nasdaq...

Look, I Need to Know What I Stand to Win

Some encouraging news over the weekend about the rate of virus growth around the world, combined with squeezes in the cruse lines (CCL NCLH RCL), casinos (LVS MGM WYNN), and even airlines, albeit to a far less degree given Warren Buffett reducing his stakes in them recently, figure to be giving bulls a sizable boost on this Monday morning. As I...
