MailScreenSnapz034Good morning.
A year ago, shares of Gamestop (GME) could be bought for under $5.  The retail operation was seen as on its last legs.  But then Michael Burry, of The Big Short fame became a fan.  So too, did the posters of Wall Street Bets, a subreddit of traders looking for their next play.  They were fans in regards to a short-squeeze thesis, given how many shares were already being held short.  That played out spectacularly on Friday.
Shares, which were as low as $12 just a month ago, closed on Thursday at $43 and surged nearly 70 percent intraday to a high of $76, before being halted.  The exchange halt caused shares to stop heading higher, and may mark an end of the rally — or not.  Traders looking for their next big win might be wise to take a look at other heavily-shorted stocks for a similar explosive rally.  They may also want to look out below when the buying frenzy stops.

Now here’s the rest of the news:

Since a year ago today, when the first Covid-19 virus was confirmed in Canada … Coronavirus has destroyed nearly $15 trillion in global stock-market wealth in just five weeks. (March 21 through April 30, 2020).

“With Joe Biden talking about a potential $2 trillion worth of stimulus, one would assume that the US dollar would eventually suffer as a result, and of course the demand for silver […] should continue to be strong.”

Getting a wee bit nostalgic?  Wistful?  Regretful?

Aren’t we becoming over familiar with the “Harsh Realities of Life!”?

What?  You?  …back to work!  [At the very least I’ve got my coffee]

Ten Ways To Foster Innovation In order to compete effectively, we must look for new and better ways to accomplish our mission.  We must find creative methods to delight our customers.  And we must find innovative strategies for getting more done with fewer resources. With things changing as rapidly as they are, doing things the old way won’t be profitable for very long.  To grow, we must be constantly innovating. An innovative company attracts and keeps better employees.  People want to be part of something creative.  It’s stimulating and it’s fun. Here are ten things you can do to foster

Good morning. We’re fans of following company insiders when they buy their own shares.  That’s because they only buy if they see a good value going forward.  Most company insiders are partially compensated in shares, so they have plenty of reasons to sell, from portfolio diversification to big spending bills like a second house or divorce. Overall, buying with company insiders produces excess returns compared to the market.  But they’re not the only insider group out there. Consider Congress.  Last year, two senators sold off stocks after an early hearing on Covid and before the big crash.  House Speaker Nancy

Good morning. Yesterday marked the 13th anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers, a “victim” of over leverage on the US housing market.  Yesterday also marked the day when Evergrande, a Chinese real estate firm, stated that it wouldn’t pay interest on its already-collapsing bonds. For years, many have warned about the size and rate of China’s real estate buildup, from empty cities to investment homes that sit unused (one of the few places where citizens can park cash).  While we’re optimistic that the damage can be contained to China and not impact global growth too much, we also can’t

Good morning. We’ve warned for weeks that stocks are at elevated levels, and that a modest pullback would be likely.  Now, however, investor sentiment has gotten heavily bearish, for more than just a small pullback. That’s somewhat concerning, as fears of a market pullback could lead to enough profit-taking and cash-raising that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.  However, a market so quick to get so bearish could also be a sign that there’s still a major rally ahead.  Bull markets don’t die when investors get fearful.  Rather, it’s when investors get so bullish that they go all-in at record highs.

Good morning. With Labor Day weekend over, oil prices should be trending down.  The summer driving season in North America is over, and it’s largely an American phenomenon.  However, expectations for a potentially colder-than-average winter are keeping a bid under oil prices right now. At a time when traders typically expect lower prices going forward, oil is now at a 5-week high and trending higher.  And Bank of America analysts see crude oil pumping as much as $100 per barrel under an exceptionally cold winter scenario.  It’s likely that gas prices may remain higher for longer than expected, and can

Good morning. Last week, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned that the measures underway to preserve cash at the US Treasury were likely to run out in mid-October.  Unless Congress acts to raise the debt ceiling, there could be a potentially debt cliff where a number of government programs simply don’t get paid. That’s a scenario that nearly unfolded in 2011. 10 years ago, it also provided the stock market with a flat return for the year and a closest thing to a selloff since the housing crisis two years before that.  Last week’s market weakness may be starting to reflect
