Wendy's: Closing it on Reddit

With a revamped and innovative menu, many updated stores, and probably the most appealing corporate social media account out there, it was not necessarily an easy decision for me to sell Wendy's as a long-term investment this morning. However, as I just noted in an email to VIP Members of the long-term investing arm of the service, the...

A Party is a Party is a Party

It may be just a lull before the FOMC next week, if not GME earnings later this week, but the small caps in the IWM (ETF for the small cap-dominated Russell 2000 Index, on its daily chart, below) is making its case today that a viable, multi-month breakout could be in the works. You can see for yourself how significant the $230 level has been...

Not Quite the Tangiers, But It'll Do

Headed into GameStop earnings on Wednesday evening, quite a few retail and indeed "meme" stocks at-large are stealing the show again this morning amid a quiet tape. Most plays which are related to the retail/re-opening complex and heavily-shorted seem to be in the sweet spot, including names like AMC GOGO MAC. Along the lines of Macerich (MAC)...

Just Say the Word, Oh, SPAC-SPAC-SPACicide

News that Bill Ackman's SPAC, Pershing Square Tontine Holdings (PSTH), is considering buying 10% of Universal Music Group from Vivendi (the French media conglomerate) which values the music company at around $42 billion, getting the Bronx cheer from the market today. As I write this, PSTH is down more than 13% on the session and, more...

Plan for the Rest of Today

The bounce we are seeing after a weak open seems almost too predictable and easy at this point. But, then again, after the repeat squeezes in the likes of AMC GME many times over since January, this market has taught us that sometimes being too predictable and too easy is almost unpredictable and difficult in and of itself.

Don't Get Addicted to Johnny Cakes...or Growth Stocks

All of those acronyms led to the biggest of acronyms, FANG, surpassing several trillion in market cap alongside AAPL...

Commodity Stocks Are Rallying to Incredibly Muted Sentiment

Tempting as it may be to join the chorus of throwing cold water on all things inflation, it is worth noting that even an inflationary "head-fake" can last a few innings longer than most expect before the "party" ends. Thus, as commodity-related stocks shine again today in many corners of the market, especially oil, uranium, tankers, steels,...
