Whole Foods Fighting Food Deflation One $6 Asparagus Water Bottle at a Time
Into what has turned out to be a quiet afternoon, Whole Foods got its activist investor, in Jana, and subsequent rally. Interestingly, Jana mentioned food deflation as one of the great struggles for WFM, and suggested the firm should put itself up for sale. Of course, the notion of deflation and Whole Food is a bit, well, rich, when you...

Chipotle's Chart and Its Plan to Win
It may be well over ten years since McDonald's spun off Chipotle Mexican Grill, but CMG is now trying to stage a turnaround not unlike what MCD did in the wake of the "Super Size Me" controversy around 2004. Back then, MCD was taking shots all the way around, be it from markets, politicians, business competitors, and general social stigma. But...

Uranium Tries to Break the Wedge of War
Nothing quite like waging some war in order for uranium stocks to break their "wedge of war," highlighted below on the ETF's daily timeframe. With global tensions rising, now would seem to be the proper time for uranium stocks to wake up from a multi-month nap. Before that nap, uranium stocks were off to a hot start in 2017, but apparently...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993) is certainly one of those films which seems to have stood the test of time, as poignant now as it was in the early-1990s, chronicling all of the unintended issues encountered when a father learns that his prepubescent son is a chess prodigy. Having played tournament chess myself and been a nationally-ranked...

The Last Good Hustle
In light of some buzz earlier this year about Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger at Berkshire Hathaway singing a much more bullish tune on the airline sector than at any other time in their (extensive) lives, one cannot help but speculate on which airlines may be most ripe for a Berkshire buyout. Much like "Fast Eddie" Felson in The Color...

The Best of War and More: Spill the Futures, Dig That Girl
Fireworks in the futures markets last evening has apparently not added up to much today, as the U.S. airstrikes in Syria coupled with a dismal jobs number this morning still saw dip-buyers stepping in to try to stabilize the major averages. As I write this, all major averages are slightly green, with obvious war-related plays like RTN dealing...

The Scenic View of Advanced Micro Devices
Much like our recent analysis of big-time chip winner, NVDA, Advanced Micro Devices (below, on the monthly timeframe), may be ripe to at least pause if not correct in the near-term. On the multi-year look, note the name rallied impressively over the last fourteen months or so. However, the $15 level has been a tough one for AMD, dating back to...

Drugs Are Bad, M'kay
On the back of Chilean ag SQM, which also is a lithium play, surging today, other niche chemical ag firms are in focus on the long side. Scotts Miracle-Gro, once seen as innocent as a G-rated Disney movie in terms of consumer products, seems to be acting out an episode of Weeds with its branching out to pot growers . Of course, an article...
