Today, I wanted to take a minute to remind ourselves of the major disconnect between the equity and bond market. We saw some hot job reports hit the news last week, and the odds are extremely high that things are going to break at the rate at which bond yields will go higher – with […]
One of the more important aspects to understand about the market is the correlation between asset classes. A significant correlation I’m seeing right now is between crude oil and the rate of inflation or, more specifically, interest rates. The reason I’m bringing this to your attention is because people are struggling to figure out when […]

Is the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) finally a better buy…? That’s what I’d like to address with you all today. It’s been a long time since bond yields have been racing higher, and thanks to a hawkish Fed this past week, that’s exactly what’s happening. Which brings me to my main point […]
Lately, I’ve really been liking the iShares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF (SHY).

Full disclosure, I found this piece of research on Twitter from Bespoke, but it is incredibly fascinating nonetheless. It talks about there being […]

As we’ve been telegraphing to our clients, we believe there’s an increasingly better chance that we’ll see this energy sector outperforming for the remainder of 2023. Looking at the monthly chart of the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE) you can see a […]
Today, I want to show you the chart on uranium. I’m seeing a tailwind trend right now that’s likely to have some legs to it long term.

However… The tide has turned… and the chart shows it’s starting to turn upwards potentially signaling a new bull market. If that’s the case, it could be one of the biggest investment opportunities of the 2020s. Every week, I […]
A big deal in the grocery store space was announced last week with the potential acquisition of Albertsons (ACI) by Kroger (KR). The merger would create a grocery chain with roughly 12% control of the US market. It’s difficult to say if the deal will make it through antitrust scrutiny. Interestingly, short-term block options trades […]
