Divided We Stand

The biggest takeaway from the (ongoing) election is that we are looking at divided government as the expected "Blue Wave" (nor the proposed "Red Wave," at one point) materialized in Congress. Regardless of whether Biden or Trump wins the White House anytime soon, the Senate will (very likely) remain Republican with the House staying Democratic...

Dude, Where's My Ballot Initiative?

Remnants of a Post-Halloween Sale

After a blazing start to October, it has been an exceedingly rough couple of weeks for software growth stalwart, Fastly. The firm now only got clobbered a few weeks back on an after hours guidance cut, but then proceeded to get sold down another thirty points or so, eviscerating many dip-buyers in the process--You can see as much on the...

And So it Goes

Regardless of what transpires over the next thirty-six hours or so, the sun will still rise on Wednesday, November 4th, 2020. It is rather easy, especially in today's frenetic social media plus 24/7 news cocktail of paranoia, to attach the future of civilization to any given election.

The Worst Halloween Treat Ever

It may seem like a boring, awful treat for bulls on this Halloween eve to have the insurance stocks outperforming nicely into this broad market selloff so far today. After all, the sector is almost never discussed beyond the usual Berkshire Hathaway/Buffett "moat" tropes from time to time. However, with rates moving higher (See: TLT yesterday...

If a Netflix Falls in the Forest

As we discussed in the full recap for Members last evening, as well as the brief video here, the total lack of dip-buying interest in Netflix since its earnings gap down last week seems to continue to go virtually unnoticed by the market.

Taking Big Tech to Task

With the CEOs of FB GOOGL and TWTR getting grilled today on Capitol Hill regarding the variety of exclusions they enjoy (Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, especially), the current mega cap landscape at least somewhat rhymes with the railroad trusts in this country over a century ago. Back then, Teddy Roosevelt earned a reputation...
