Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

If Pulp Fiction (1994) marked John Travolta’s resurgence as a major Hollywood actor after falling into oblivion in the wake of Saturday Night Fever (1977), then his performance in Get Shorty (1995) the following year left no doubt that his swagger had returned.

The Chemical Brothers Are Galvanized

The chemicals space has been acting much better of late, coinciding with the bounce in oil. Typically, the chemicals can benefit when energy is in vogue with investors.

A Real Setup for Fake News

Last Sunday evening, "60 Minutes" on CBS did a segment about the phrase du jour, "Fake News." Putting to one side the merits of that topic, it was interesting to see the CEO of The Trade Desk, Inc. make an appearance. Indeed, Jeff Green, the CEO of TTD, may have been the big winner of that segment, as CBS noted that TTD helps companies avoid...
