We're Done When Inflation Says We're Done

Watching various financial news programs over the long weekend spilling over into this morning, alongside the usual scan of social media, there sure seems to be a strong consensus that we have seen the worst of inflation and that we can expect it to moderate going forward. While that peachy forecast sounds great for all of us who purchase...

Emeril's Chop House Market

In front of a three-day weekend (markets are closed on Monday for MLK Day), we have a morning full of whipsaws wreaking havoc on most active traders. Given these types of choppy conditions, I find it important to focus on the bigger picture. And when we do so, you will note the weakness in small caps, which w examined yesterday, persisting....

Low Winter Sunset

As the sun sets on the early new year bullish seasonality, it paves the way for some of the harshest seasonality of the year coming up pretty much from after MLK Day next week through mid-March. Of course, seasonality is not a crystal ball, and the market need not run smoothly consistent with seasonal trends or anything close to it. However,...

These Woods is for Livin'

And these markets is for tradin'. A pep talk like the one Richard Harrow received in the woods may be in order for some, as the market is functioning like a classic trader's market for now, buying the hot CPI number but then fading the opening pop as we speak. The main takeaway for me is that we are entering both the heart of earnings...

The Next Battlefield Maneuver

Should commodities stage a new leg higher within a reasonable period of time, the refinery stocks continue to look undervalued and under-appreciated. Names like CVI PSX and VLO have already run up sharply over the last ten sessions or so, and I would not be chasing them here before a brief consolidation. However, the likes of Holly, below on...

You're Trying to Tame an Entirely Different Beast

As America transitions from four decades of supply side economics to a new world of demand side economics, at least two generations of Wall Street players are sure to be fighting yesterday's battles to little avail. In other words, the "Greenspan" boys and girls who came of age (like I did) with the likes of Fed Chairs Greenspan and Bernanke,...
