You Only Need to Fear the Ladies in Red

As much as I would like to link to the Chris de Burgh song relating to the title of this blog post, I am afraid it would be lost on at least one generation of readers who would rather check out the latest song and music video by Cardi B. (featuring Lizzo, of course), as though that is something not readily seen on Route 22 gentlemen's clubs in...

A Play Off the DraftKings for Golden Nugget Deal

On the back of the DKNG for GNOG deal this morning, many sports betting/gambling-related plays are enjoying a strong session of outperformance amid another "dog days of summer" feel to the tape, albeit a resilient one. Names like ELYS GAN GMBL are doing quite well, just to name a few. But Skillz.com (SKLZ) may be overlooked. With earnings now...

COMING SOON: My Book About Sports Betting

I am pleased to announce that I am in the final stages of finishing up a side project that I have been working on for quite some time. As you know, sports betting has taken off across the country with a domino-like effect of various state legalizations. The reality is that the ubiquity of sports wagering will only become more prominent in the...

Some Evidence Against Another Shutdown

Lost in the shuffle this week was the earnings rally in GOGO. Gogo provides an in-air platform which gives travelers information, services, and entertainment while the airlines are able to display airline-specific information. If the economy truly were on the cusp of another imminent bout of March 2020-style restrictions in the U.S., then I...

Renegade Biotechs

adjective adjective: renegade having treacherously changed allegiance. The XBI sector ETF for biotechnology issues is turning in an impressive morning, thus far, as the likes of BEAM EDIT NTLA lead the charge higher. For a good while now, we have profiled the relative and even absolute weakness in many bios, despite the jaw-dropping...

Rough Nights at the Casino

Don't look now, but Las Vegas Sands has almost completely given back the rally off the March 2020 lows in a rapid-fire pace, not unlike a blackjack player seeing his luck turn before fully realizing it. On the zoomed-out LVS daily chart, below, in front of peers MGM and WYNN both reporting earnings tonight (LVS reported two weeks back) price is...

Going Stag

This morning's notable miss on the ADP jobs number saw and interesting reaction, with gold popping and stocks slumping. While this is far from a broad-based bloodbath (see the Nasdaq hanging tough as usual), gold is on the move again, indeed, perhaps indicating a stagflationary interpretation by markets. As you know, the stagflation of the...

Look Here for the Next Play to Stick it to the Suits

With many "meme stocks" like AMC GME dripping lower and not showing much life for a while now, it may be worthwhile to turn your attention towards the energy sector if you are looking for potential new short squeeze plays to really stick it to the "suits." Fresh off earnings, Omaha-based Green Plains Inc. (GPRE, daily chart, below) is one of...
