Two Losers No More
We have a grinding bounce in the broad market still playing out early this afternoon, with bears likely looking for a Netflix earnings dump tonight to ignite a rollover now.
Still, it is hard not to consider the potential for another stunning V-shaped bounce back to fresh highs as a possibility, given this market's legendary resilience for years on end. If that should materialize, two former big-time losers are suddenly sitting with the cool kids at the lunch table.
On the monthly chart for Best Buy, first below, the breakout we noted several months ago over $40 is holding impressively. Indeed, the Amazon-destorys-Best-Buy theme may be a bit played out.
And CMG on the weekly chart, second below, continues to outperform now seemingly on a daily basis, which likely is a case of sellers simply being exhausted from quarters of end of dumping the name.
