No Operation Warp Speed for This Sector

Although some notable "virus stocks," namely NVAX REGN, are benefitting from Operation Warp Speed (the White House administration's ambitious effort to fast-track Covid-19 vaccine development through a private/public partnership) are up nicely on news of more funds being committed to the likes of NVAX, the prominent casino stocks most certainly...

Do As the Old Man Says, Not As He Does

Shares of Dominion Energy (D) are actually getting hit quite hard this morning, down more than 7.5% as I write this, after Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Energy agreed to buy Dominion's natural gas transmission and storage business in a, roughly, $10 billion deal.  Amid a trading session of intense bull fervor, so far, be it more extreme...

Headed to the Boat This Summer

Following a spring of fear, uncertainty, and a string of events this nation has not seen in at least a few generations we are now headed into the heart of a summer of uncertainty. With this in mind, there is even more of a premium placed on ideas which seem to be a bit more certain and predictable.  One thesis we are examining more closely for...

Blending In, Only to Resurface

Although equities as a whole remain remarkably unperturbed by various economic re-shutdowns across the country it is interesting to see the virus-related stocks resurface after a quiet couple of weeks. Whether it is a testing play like OPK, a vaccine name like MRNA, or meal kit delivery like APRN the complex of virus stocks is not signaling the...

Racing Towards the Fourth

An early small and mega cap Dow-led upside reversal is giving bulls reason to believe that the market is hell-bent on levitating into the Fourth of July holiday coming up this weekend. Due to Independence Day falling on a Saturday this year, markets will be closed on Friday in observance of the holiday.  Although the Nasdaq opened red, with...

We Were Oh-So-Close

One of the silver linings of the mass protests which included, at times, chaos and anarchy, in American cities across the country was that maybe, just maybe, the worst of the Coronavirus pandemic was behind us as we saw the social unrest dominate headlines over the last several weeks in lieu of the previous nightly stream of death counts and...

Have to Stay Focused Here

The opening dip in the Nasdaq-100's ETF, QQQ, was bought fairly quickly on the open under $242. As we noted earlier this week both here and with Members, $242 seems to be a high stakes battleground during the current market battle, as bears still need to prove they can hold below it in order to make some more meaningful progress beyond any sort...

Nature Versus Nurture of the CoronaVirus Beast

No matter how mentally, emotionally, and physically ready most of us are to move on from the last several months of pandemics, lockdowns, social unrest, and, overall, one of the more glaringly negative steady stream of headlines in at least several decades in this nation, the proverbial all-clear signal is highly unlikely to come in one fell...

A No-Nonsense Setup

Into the bell, amid a day where mega cap tech dominates alongside various virus plays and some momentum names like NKLA, it seems worth reiteration a prior point we have made regarding the silver metal.

Hot Tamales for Breakfast

More often than not we spend most of our time focused on the major indices, leading sectors, mid or larger cap stocks which trade with good liquidity, and the generally significant parts of the market.  At times, though, we look downstream for some more speculative ideas. This morning, for example, two plays stand out: The micro cap gold...
