This is one of the best reports we've seen in years, and some of the ones we've seen since mid-2017 have been pretty darn good. Beginning with...

A Terrifying Lack of Fear

One would think Thursday's pullback, which quickly squashed Wednesday's recovery hopes and rekindled Tuesday's pullback fears, would have been accompanies by surging investor fear. One would be wrong in thinking that though… and it could be a problem for the broad market. The premise of contrarianism isn't a new one, though it IS an underutilized one. Investors either don't understand...

If bitcoin is a bubble, the ‘panic’ stage is near: economist

– The smart money will soon head for the exits, if the typical pattern emerges – By Aaron Hankin, CNBC It isn't uncommon for crypto-skeptics to look a bitcoin chart and, without much analysis, label it the tulip bubble of the 21st century.

Your Best Bets for June

The month of June generally isn't a great one for the market. The S&P 500, on average, loses about a tenth of a percent in the month ahead, and loses ground almost as often as it logs a gain. (meaning the average loss is just a bit bigger than the average gain when there is a gain in June). The...
