Don’t Call Me a Suburban Housewife

Hi Shoppers, With this midterm election coming up, all I am hearing is the term “suburban housewife.” I am not so sure I like that term or to be generalized in such a way. Do I live in the suburbs? Yes. (Well, until about a month ago.) But as a city-dweller it was my biggest […]

The Superfood

Hi Shoppers, In my last column I showed you a doji at the top of a nice uptrend in Merck (Ticker: MRK). It was a good thing I reminded you to wait for the confirmation before hopping into a trade. Because, sure enough, the doji did not pan out, MRK traded higher. Here is the […]
