Mostly a Spectator This Week
This was one of those weeks in the market where I am content to have been mostly in cash as a spectator. I just took off the two positions I did have on coming into today well before they came close to my preset stop-losses as I simply do not like this price action on the back of yesterday's big move. To my eye, we are still in the muck dealing...

Retail Investors Are Still Too Cool for School
ARKK hit a low of $33.74 this morning--Its COVID crash lows were $33.00. And, yet, we have the VIX red and the opening dip in the broad market off a hot CPI print getting bought up. History suggests that we are nowhere close to the sort of widespread fear, panic, then despair necessary for a true bear market bottom. Thus, any bounces should...

Value Investing Most Certainly IS Coming Back
About fifteen years ago I was walking through the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas to play the juicy cash games during the World Series of Poker. David Einhorn, the famous hedge fund manager and avid poker player, was there for the WSOP action. I walked by one of the open air restaurants in the Rio corridor and saw Einhorn with his...

Controlled Demolition, Man
As easy as it is to overanalyze this market, what with all the headlines, macro news, theories, etc., objectively when we get down to brass tacks we are dealing with a bearish trend which is dripping lower seemingly on a daily basis in a rather controlled, "demolition" type of manner. That type of action is often found in the middle stages of...

When Chaos Returns, the Simple Things Become Valuable
Many of the same folks right now who are saying that Jay Powell and the current Fed simply must stop raising rates, lest the system break, were also saying, back in 2008, that the entire banking system needed to be bailed out lest the world would end. What they did not tell you was that, back in 2008, there were many regional banks who did not...

Not Funny, Haha: Funny, Bullish!
Last February I made the bullish case here for Lamb Weston, which produces frozen potatoes you find in supermarkets. With LW right near multi-year highs this morning, the long-term quarterly chart, below, indicates one of the better actors in the consumer staples complex at a time when consumers continue to battle both inflation and a...

Coal Miner's Revenge
In a brutal bout of timing and bad luck, solars and many ESG types of stocks are taking it on the chin today despite the OPEC news/oil pump. Typically, you wold expect the likes of ENPH RUN, etc. to celebrate the oil news since, after all, the higher oil goes the more pressing the matter becomes for alternative sources of energy. But with famed...
