Zika Virus: Go with Plan Z
Unfortunately, Zika has yet to go the way of Zima. With new cases reported in Texas (as a result of travel from Miami, where we knew of cases) as well as Staten Islanders, Zika is spreading. While Zika is still far from a widespread epidemic, things may become a bit worse before they get better. My favored play is Qiagen here, the Dutch firm...

Leading from the Front
If retail is mounting a new bull run, after essentially commencing its own bear market in April 2015, it is hard not to see Dick's Sporting Goods being a leader in the space. DKS is a name we looked at before earnings, and now with that out of the way the stock is simply reinforcing the bull thesis. Specifically, the updated daily chart,...

But Mrs. Mulwray...
"But, Mrs. Mulwray, I goddamn near lost my nose. And I like it. I like breathing through it. And I still think you're hiding something." - Jake "J.J." Gittes, Chinatown (1974) Dedicated short-sellers have not had a pleasant summer, as the Brexit limit down move in the S&P futures looks to have been a rare vacation of the "crash from the top,"...

Diabetes and Profits: Two Peas in a PODD
The indices are grinding up today, with the small caps noticeably leading again. Adding to the bull case near-term would be the outperformance in those small caps in the Russell, on top of the impressive individual price action within many hot corners of the market. Medical devices remain as strong as any group. We continue to profile the...

Going with a Pro May Be the Next Move
In light of the moves we are seeing in long-term laggards which are suddenly surging, namely BABA YELP, even TWTR, the issue which, if any, will follow suit for comparable moves. To my eye, GoPro fits the bell as well as any of them. You are talking about a stock which has silenced even the cockiest of bulls in the name since October 2014,...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
I remember being in London for a brief period of time in early-2001. grateful for taking a few hours to check out the highly-regarded Traffic (2000) in a theater there. The film should be viewed as a bird's eye view of the war on drugs, rather than an in-depth exposé. Starring Michael Douglas, Benicio Del Toro, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Don...

Many No Fold 'em Gold Players These Days
Headed into the weekend, it is interesting to see both gold and silver flip back to red after they had staged gaps higher this morning in light of the soft retail sales figure. I am still looking at most XME components (precious and non-precious miners, steels, materials, etc.) as more likely than not to consolidate into Labor Day before...
