I Just Might Buy Me a Boat

One theme we are working on this week, headed into summer trading, is to identify stocks clearly standing out in an otherwise soft or lackluster sector. Indeed, if the broad market does stay rangebound, this morning's massive pop notwithstanding, then we surmise that individual outperforming issues can continue to do so while the rest of the...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

I was working for a firm in Milan, Italy, in the summer of 2004. During my time there, I recall plenty of experiences and people, including an Italian office mate who would sing Bruce Springsteen songs in broken English all day because me being American reminded him of Bruce. However, another memory was going on a date with a young Italian...

Sex Appeal Comes Naturally for This Brazilian Play

It does not take much convincing for most to become intrigued by PagSeguro Digital Ltd., which is Brazil's online or mobile payment-based e-commerce service for commercial operations. Indeed, virtually any "payments" play is hot enough to merit our attention, beyond the likes of Square. As an example, an overlooked play we have stressed for...

Playing a Little Red Store By the Little Red Book

China earnings plays this morning are a push, with BZUN up nicely but NTES getting crushed. We know BABA and BIDU have been rather impressive lately, while SINA WB have slumped. One play which seems to be overlooked these days is yum China, the China spinoff of YUM, home to fast food iconic brands like KFC, Taco Bell, even Pizza Hut. YUMC is...

You're Not as Bullish on Chotchkie's as You Should Be

If you look at some of the moves in restaurants which have been either dead money or obliterated (or both, first getting crushed and then flatlining for years), you may be astounded to see the likes of Noodles (NDLS) up from $5.30 on January 2nd to a current price of $9.62. Other names like CMG CHUY EAT SHAK WING have made impressive moves,...

Adjusting to a Slower Pace

The broad market appears to continue its attempt to catch its breath after the last few weeks of wild swings and reversals. Also note that we have some major global and Fed-related headlines and events mostly in the rear-view mirror now (although the political headlines are rather fluid and will of course persist), as well as the fact that we...
