Market Chess Prices Are Going Up
Effective January 1st, 2023, prices for Market Chess Subscription Services are going up across the board. This will actually be the first rate increase since the service started. In the eight years (to the date!) since I launched Market Chess, I have held off on raising prices. However, with all of my vendors (video capture, filming,...

Yes, the Bond Market Can Crash
This is worth a re-post, especially in light of the summer rally in both stocks and Treasuries. I am re-posting this not to "pile on" to the recent weakness in TLT (as rates go back up) but rather to reinforce my view that a bond market crash/swoon/substantial move lower from here as rates go higher is absolutely on the table if rates...

The Panic of 1907
The Panic of 1907 was a six-week stretch of runs on banks in New York City and other American cities in October and early November of 1907. It was triggered by a failed speculation that caused the bankruptcy of two brokerage firms. But the shock that set in motion the events to create the Panic was the earthquake in San Francisco in 1906. The...

A Possible "Home Run" Trade Idea
Back on December 27th, 2021, I sent out the following video in an email to VIP Members inside Market Chess Subscription Services. In the VIP service, we focus on long-term investing plays and strategies, as well as the occasional special situation like the one I outlined below for Treasuries. At the time of this video, TLT was trading at...

My Christmas Present to You
As I remain steadfast in my belief that 2022 will be a year where we see increased market volatility as we endure a (secular!) regime change in equity markets from growth to value stocks, including many commodities, my present to you, the reader, is a recent addition to my long-term investing portfolio which I typically only discuss in detail...

COMING SOON: My Book About Sports Betting
I am pleased to announce that I am in the final stages of finishing up a side project that I have been working on for quite some time. As you know, sports betting has taken off across the country with a domino-like effect of various state legalizations. The reality is that the ubiquity of sports wagering will only become more prominent in the...

Memorial Day Tribute
Whereas Veterans Day in November recognizes all who have served in the Armed Forces, this Memorial Day holiday honors those who have died serving in the military, giving the ultimate sacrifice for country. The very least I can do, as someone with a platform and voice on social media, is to use it to pay my tribute. Hailing from my home...

You're Thinking Too Much, Meat!
It is pretty remarkable to see the seasonal pattern unfolding into the end of May here, as the somber, patriotic Memorial Day holiday awaits us. Courtesy of EquityClock.com, the graph below illustrates the seasonal pattern on average for the S&P 500 Index over the past twenty years. As small caps notably outperform again this morning with the...

If You Can Keep It
As Benjamin Franklin was walking out of Independence Hall in Philadelphia after the Constitutional Convention in 1787, someone shouted towards him, “Doctor, what have we got? A republic or a monarchy?” Sharp and witty as ever, Frankly responded, “A republic, if you can keep it.” Some 233 years later, those words seem more relevant now than...

Cheers to a New Year, New Decade
Impressive relative strength in IWM's small cap stocks, biotechs in the XBI ETF, as well as assorted other names like LULU NFLX TSLA is likely a positive sign for bulls that this mild dip is not too menacing. Of course, we are talking about a New Year's Eve trading session, which makes overanalyzing pretty much anything related to the markets...

Santa is Officially in Town
Santa Rally: The S anta Claus rally is a typical rise in stock prices during the last five trading days in December and the first two trading days in the following January. With the Santa Rally officially underway as we wind down 2019, it is fairly standard to see the likes of AMZN begin to catch a strong bid. We have been long Amazon...

Happy Thanksgiving from Market Chess
On this Thanksgiving Day, I am grateful for many things: Close family, true friends, and good health, above all else. Without those blessings, life loses a certain richness and depth. I am also grateful for the broad, market mechanism regarding the way in which the internet operates in an open society. The wonderful thing about this day and...

Happy Independence Day
On this day in 1776, the Declaration of Independence , which proclaimed the independence of the United States of America from Great Britain and its king. was formally adopted by twelve colonies after some revisions to the document. Lost in the shuffle of barbecues, beaches, and ball games is the exhilarating story of the Revolutionary War,...

Here's to Closing Out 2016 the Way We Will Approach 2017
Adopting and adhering to a positive mindset, while also vigilantly managing risk, is a tough combination to pull off in all forms of speculation. And when you factor in social media at the cross-section of finance, it is easy to get dragged down in the misery of others who let negativity get the best of them. After all, as they say, misery...

What is a Ho-Ho-Ho
The Santa rally is kicking off with a drifting move higher today. The Dow is not at 20,000, but that is not making life any easier for bears who have yet to throw in the towel on their thesis. I am looking to see if the precious miners can sustain today's bounce, too, beyond a mere one-off move. Indeed, doing so will be a bit of a change in...
