Fed Chair Jay Powell continues to be rather cavalier in his approach to inflation, recently unveiling a likely tapering schedule but still downplaying the lasting impact of higher prices. His go-to phrase of late is the flippant, "We have tools," in case inflation is not transitory. But as energy prices gather steam to the point of being a...

Here in America, with government benefits from the pandemic being wound down in many states and a generally feeling in the air that the worst of the pandemic may...

Four End of Year Buyout Targets

With the fourth quarter of 2021 suddenly a little over a week away, here are four stocks which I believe have a good chance of getting bought out if we see a wave of M&A into the holidays.

Promises Were Made; Promises Will Be Kept

While far from an exact promise, to be fair, we know The Fed has almost assuredly put out enough feelers, trial balloons via The Wall Street Journal and other sources, and fair warnings to markets in general of an announcement later today for a taper in 2021 for it to actually happen at 2pm EST today.

Boeing Has Achieved Maximum Flying Altitude

Several names which became synonymous with the epic bull run off the March 2020 lows are now displaying notable signs of fatigue, with little in the way of acknowledgment from market players and pundits alike.

I am fully aware that The Fed since, basically, the Greenspan era has spawned a generation of market players who...
