It was Supposed to Be a Non-Judgmental Fed Intervention!

After all of these years since The Fed stepped in as a more active market participant than at any point in its history, markets remain sensitive to any and all things uttered by Fed heads and, especially, new Fed Chairman, Jerome Powell.

General Zhukov Gets to Berlin First

With geopolitical risks admittedly lurking in the background, one can still simply not deny that Russia has been on a tear to the upside. Merely keying off the RSX country ETF will reveal as much. YNDX is an internet play related to Russia we have been long inside the VIP arm of the service as an investment. But there is another angle to the...

Slow and Steady Floats the Chase

Another opening gap higher in the broad market, after yet another late-day fade yesterday afternoon, is putting virtually all traders to the test this morning.
