Quality meetings require proper preparation and participation. It fuels ideas and honest debate. Everyone contributes. It’s important to create an environment where people feel comfortable speaking their minds and are recognized for honesty and integrity. A little humility helps, too. Respect for different ways of thinking should be encouraged. Strategies also need to adapt and evolve. Conventional approaches to unconventional situations generally fail. Old ways can get stale...

Blast Off

Fri, 29 May 2026 13:00:00 -0700

Up, up, and away has certainly been the theme for stocks all Spring. Actually, blast off is more like it. Nothing has stalled this mighty ascent. Tech Stocks continue to lead the charge higher. The Stock Market hasn’t cared about rising interest rates, high gas prices, nagging inflation nor a war in the Middle East. It just has not cared. It’s also caught so many by surprise...

We are nearing the halfway point for 2026. Summer is just around the corner. Graduations are in full swing. Time sure flies. Memorial Day officially kicks off the Summer driving season. Fuel consumption usually spikes this time of year. And we all know the price at the pump is sky high...

To Beijing, with Love

Fri, 15 May 2026 17:00:00 -0700

The widely anticipated Beijing summit has come and gone. There was pomp, circumstance, and a whole lot of handshakes. But there was very little in the way of meaningful action. There were no major breakthroughs. There were no confirmed deals. The result is seemingly more stability in the relationship of the 2 superpowers and the status quo for policies. In other words, they kicked the can down the road, hand in hand, with smiles...

Captain Courageous

Fri, 08 May 2026 17:00:00 -0700

Deal or no deal? The ceasefire is on or off? The situation is beyond confusing. The conflict in Iran has been head-spinning, and the price of Oil has reflected the volatile news flow. WTI fell below the $100 level. But it remains elevated in the mid $90s. The December contract is holding pretty firm just below $80. That suggests supplies should improve towards year-end. But that isn’t helping prices at the pump, which are north of $6 in many California cities. High prices continue to take a toll on the American Consumer. The price of Oil was $55 just before the conflict...

What Happened and Why it Matters - Another Rapid Rundown

Fri, 01 May 2026 17:00:00 -0700

Unfazed: That pretty much sums up the Market’s response to the ongoing conflict with Iran. The price of crude surged back above $100 this week. The Market barely blinked. It’s been trying to move past the conflict. Politics and geopolitics definitely can influence price action. But more than anything else, it’s earnings that drive stock prices. We are smack dab in the middle of Q1 Earnings Season and this was the biggest week. The Tech Titans took the field. This, in addition to a Fed meeting, a Royal visit, new data for the U.S. Economy and a surprising OPEC departure. It was quite a week. In the face of so many issues, risks and events, the Stock Market remains all Bulled-up. Here’s another rapid rundown of what happened and why it matters...

Apple CEO Tim Cook announced he is stepping down. This was both a surprise and no surprise. The more you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Tim Cook has done a masterful job of managing the company for the last 15 years, after taking the reins from Steve Jobs...

All Bulled Up

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 17:00:00 -0700

The remarkable run this Spring continued as the Stock Market shook off the concerns surrounding the Middle East and hit fresh, all-time highs. The S&P surged in April as fast as it fell in March. These V-shaped moves have become quite familiar. It happened during Covid. That’s what went down last Spring around the tariff tantrum. That’s precisely what’s happened around the conflict in Iran. It goes from Bull to Bear, back to Bull in a flash. The Oil down, Stocks up tether is firmly in place. Right now, this Market is all Bulled up...

Between the Middle East and the Dark Side of the Moon

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 17:00:00 -0700

Volatility continues. The Stock Market this Spring has behaved like few times in decades. Prices have moved ferociously, in both directions. Oil up, Oil down. The price of Oil has been driving all things Market-related ever since the conflict in Iran began. The damage is palpable. Market participants are trying to assess the impact of the developments in the Middle East and the energy markets. The answer is found somewhere between the Middle East and the Dark Side of the Moon...

From Oil to Drones – The AI War

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 17:00:00 -0700

Correction remains the theme on Wall Street as the price of Oil is seemingly dictating all. WTI is back at $100. The price action has been pretty simple: Higher Oil has forced higher yields and lower stock prices. It has blanketed the Global Market. The Market often ignores geopolitics. Not this one. The military conflict in Iran is impossible to ignore. The impact is being felt wide and far...
