There’s a major divergence happening in the market. In the past month, we’ve seen tech rally… But we’ve also seen the utilities sector continue to push higher.

The deal closes next week, so it’s a good time to revisit the investment potential of the CDR preferred shares. Because I […]
Unusual options activity placed Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE) into the spotlight last week. It turns out a massive options trade of 150,000 contracts traded in a spread, with about $16 million of capital required. This one trade accounted for nearly half the options traded on the day. It appears the position may be […]
