Quite the Picture

Freeport-McMoran, the domestic (Arizona-based)  molybdenum producer with tons of copper and gold exposure, too, used to be one of the most prominent stocks in the entire market about thirteen-fifteen years ago.  Back then, we had some ephemeral inflation head-fakes, where folks keyed off FCX for inflationary tells during its exhilarating...

Extremely Rare, Extremely Precious

Of the four major precious metals (palladium, platinum, gold, and silver), palladium is said to be the most expensive and rare. In fact, it is about fifteen times rarer than platinum, which probably surprises most people. In addition, in this brave new green world, palladium is an essential part in making pollution-control devices for...

However, into the market melt-up it is likely worth noting sectors which have squeezed back up to what should be difficult levels on a long-term basis.  The commercial real estate stocks in the IYR ETF, below on the weekly timeframe, represent one such...

Once Again, Will You Remember Genco?

Lost in the shuffle of all the Fed victory laps, emotions, and general news flow this week has been the $2.1 billion merger between SBLK and EGLE  to form the U.S.'s largest dry-bulk shipping company.  About a week or two prior to the merge we had noted the strength in Eagle both here and with Members. In addition, we thought Genco (GNK, on...

Almond Joy's Got Nuts, This Fed Don't

To call Jay Powell another Arthur Burns would, at this point, be a hideous insult to Arthur Burns. If you know your history, then you know that Burns raised rates to a high of 13.55% during the week of July 3rd, 1974.

All Roads Lead to Rome...And The Fed

There is little point in bemoaning or bellowing over the fact that all market roads seem to lead to The Fed these days. Simply put, it is one of the main byproducts of the response by The Fed and then-Chair Ben Bernanke to the financial crisis back in 2008/2009.  Back then, in the most dire days of that bear market, investors where begging and...

A Divergence, I Reckon

This will be a critical week for many markets, of course, headed into 2024 with the FOMC on Wednesday. The next FOMC after this one will not happen until the final day of January of next year.  In particular, gold and silver metals are getting hit again today, with silver down hard over the last six trading sessions after its prior steep rally...
