A Turnaround from Ramen to Ribeye

A few restaurant-related stocks have stood out of late, namely PNRA and even PLAY, which has earnings tonight. Overall, the sector is still spotty, with some disappointments like BBRG DAVE FRGI HABT IRG KONA NDLS RAVE SHAK. Nonetheless, we looked at some plays recently which may be steadily improving.

Built Tesla Tough

An interesting dynamic is shaping up with auto makers, as Tesla zooms to session highs and threatens a major sustained breakout while Ford breaks down to fresh, multi-month lows today.

Towards the Horizon

Looking out to next week, Treasuries are coiling above the key $120 level here on the TLT ETF, seen on the daily chart, below. Should they break over the highlighted consolidation next week, it may give bears some ammunition to bring equities down some more in a standard "risk off" short-term environment.

Skipping Rocks at Mirror Lake

Hours in front of a healthcare vote in Washington which has attracted much attention, markets are subdued. Indeed, the price action in the opening hour this morning has the feel of a summer Friday rather than the outset of the spring months.
