Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

Even if you are not a sports/NBA/basketball fan, the story of Michael Jordan and his rise to legendary status not just in basketball but in all of professional sports (and, indeed, in all things business and of a...

Why Isn't the Bond Market Wearing a Mask?

The Nasdaq is essentially at all-time highs, as various marquee names like AAPL AMZN MSFT continue to comfortably trade well over $1 trillion in market cap. Furthermore, our monetary and fiscal responses to the pandemic have been as stimulative as likely any response we would have seen throughout American history, if not more. Beyond that, the...

A Bull Market in Broscience

Ironically, Muscle Maker, Inc. (GRIL) trades small (low-priced, and less than $19 million market cap) and thin (light average daily volume), standing in stark contract to its many patrons who would love nothing more than to bulk up with "gainz," adhering to the philosophy of "broscience."

Here's Why You Actually Should Get High on Your Own Supply

United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI), below on its updated daily chart, is another one of several virus-related names which do not seem to be going away. Typically, with such an obvious, headline-driven event or cycle, as we are in, the related stocks on a direct and indirect level will sprint early on in the cycle and then essentially peter out...

Do You Remember That TV Series, "Weeds"?

Yeah, about that: Pretty good show, good cast and well-done comedy. As you may know, the series centered around the marijuana growing end of the business and all that entails on a micro level.
