Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

The best film I saw last year was Richard Jewell (2019), Clint Eastwood's gripping, true-life story, based on the 1997 Vanity Fair article "American Nightmare: The Ballad of Richard Jewell" by Marie Brenner. Terrific, and I mean terrific, performances by Paul Walter Hauser, Sam Rockwell, Kathy Bates, Jon Hamm, and Olivia Wilde magnify just...

Another Pandemic, Another Lake Show

It is never a particularly enjoyable topic, dealing with a pandemic capable of spreading quickly around the world like the coronavirus seems capable of doing.

Super Bowl Plays for Cold Blustery Days

With roughly a week and a half until Super Bowl LIV kicks off in Miami, it is worth looking at some plays which could easily get a boost until the global event.

Winter Eventually Sets In

Despite some big names on Wall Street weighing in with rather bullish commentary over the last week or so, be it David Tepper wanting to ride the horse, Ray Dalio slamming cash as trash, or Paul Tudor Jones implying a dot-com blow-off is just around the corner, the reality is that a near-term pause still seems more probable than anything else...
