Today, it looked like the market wanted to continue yesterday afternoon's powerful late rally.

Well, it was not to be, as stocks have broadly declined since lunchtime and indices are in the red as I type this.

"Jackson Hole" has delivered volatility once again. Seems we can always expect fireworks when the bigwigs gather at a luxury resort in the mountains. Must be nice...

...but it might win us cash-money gains, which is all we're really here for anyway. Give the participation trophies to the strivers.

Today's trade comes from a "dirty" sector. One some investors don't like to talk about in polite company. And...

Will the commodity trade come roaring back? If so, we've got a play in a metals fabrication stock that we think we'll outperform to the upside.

This company recently broke out to 6-year highs and has a lot of runway left to reach decade-plus...

Earlier this week, we got stopped out of Vertex Pharma $VRTX for a manageable loss. It happens. Now today, a vortex is pulling us in the direction of another Vertex -- Vertex Energy $VTNR. Crazy, huh?
