It's Not a Meme Stock, But it Might Start Trading Like One

The general malaise of today's tape, so far, reminds me of the market back last winter during the initial meme stock rallies in AMC and GME, and the like.

Led by NFLX and especially the runaway move higher in TSLA, the QQQ ETF is trying to hold things together and, perhaps, motivate dip-buyers to give it their usual effort later today. Just as we...

If Lael Brainard takes over as Fed Chair, the presumptive...

In Massachusetts They Shoot from the Lip; In Tennessee from the Hip
