Don't Forget: This is Some Good Coffee

Lost in the shuffle of the AAPL TWTR and crude oil headline so far this week is the resurgence of coffee. Coffee (ETN ticker is JO) is finally taking a break today, which I view as something to be watched carefully for a lower risk entry. On the JO weekly chart, below, a rare but powerful "rounded bottom" pattern still looks to be very much...

Rotation Over the Years

Given the explosive rally consumer staples, the prototypical "defensive" stocks, have seen since the 2009 bear market lows, it is understandable that the inevitable unwinding of that seemingly crowded trade would take some time. Indeed, the XLP, staples' ETF, has enjoyed such a one-way, explosive monthly chart uptrend since 2009 that one could...

Markets Make Strange Bedfellows

It may be difficult to fathom, but both AAPL and TWTR are technical bedfellows at the moment. Specifically, both continue to deal with the inevitable turbulence associated with attempting to emerge from multi-quarter, corrective chart patterns of lower highs and lower lows by price. Apple is selling off after yesterday's iPhone 7...

Bulls Have Got Some NERV

Dips remain extremely shallow, overall, which may very well galvanize speculators to take a stab at riskier stocks beyond the FANG gang. Minerva Neurosciences, Inc., below on the daily timeframes, is a likely candidate. Ever since topping out in June, the biotech has been sporting an attractive base consolidation, especially impressive...

The Ritual Apple Event

It would not be September without a special event from Apple. And at 1pm EST (a few moments from now, as I write this), we should see an unveiling the iPhone 7, among other goodies. AAPL has enjoyed a nice rally this summer, though currently is locked in a $105-$110 range. I do not see a trade at the moment, favoring to gauge the reaction to...

Extra Guac, Now That Everyone's Talking About Chipotle

Much of the focus in the financial media over the last fifteen hours or so has understandably been on Bill Ackman's new stake in CMG. After all, it makes for great theater: Ackman and CMG both are seeking redemption after terrible press over the last year or two, most of it warranted, some of not. But bad press nonetheless, which makes for...

Scantily Clad and Scantily Traded, But Worth a Look

Some obvious post-summer plays would seem to make sense here, such as chicken wings for football season. BWLD is a name we are watching closely, to see if recent progress this summer follows-through again to the upside. Beyond that, though, as the weather cool down we may see an uptick in patrons at gentlemen's clubs. With this in mind, RCI...
