It has obviously been a busy season, any way you slice it. And if Jose does strengthen to do some damage along the eastern seaboard of America in the next week or so, we want to have some...

Don't Arbitrage at Arby's

Instead of Arby's (partly owned by Wendy's), head on over to Yum! Brands, Inc. for a tastier version of "arbitrage." Specifically, for Yum! Brands, owner of KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut, the U.S. stores are slipping today (first daily chart, below, for YUM), while the China version of the YUM (ticker YUMC, second daily chart, below) is...

Merrie Olde England

It has been a while since we update the British Pound Sterling analysis. But long-time readers will recall we continue to look for a bottom here, given the technicals, in part, of the FXB (ETF for the Sterling versus a basket of developed economy currencies).

An Old Bucket Shop Play

As far as issues which trade on a major exchange (in this case, the Nasdaq), it does not get too much more speculative than a very small cap China play in the electric car sector. And, yet, if Kandi Technologies Group, Inc., based Jinhua, China, cannot figure out a way to turn its beaten-down chart around now, I suspect it may never find a...

First Solar Might Be Next in Line

Given the recent news flow, China solar plays have, understandably, been the focus of attention for momentum traders within the TAN (sector ETF for solars). However, it is worth remembering that the domestic solar plays still may very well stand to benefit from the populist tone in Washington. Beyond politics, the First Solar chart, below on...

If the Market is on Yayo, Then We Must Look at Zayo

All in all, today shaped up as a hangover of sorts after the Apple event yesterday, despite some fireworks with China electrical car play KNDI rallying but EFC and iRobot tanking. Still, it is tough to become too bearish on the Nasdaq when it is not giving much back off its recent gains. And if we do continue to chug on higher, a name like...

Need More Cyber Details Beyond A/S/L

The technical progress in the likes of SPLK and QLYS, and now FEYE surging today, highlights the improvement in the HACK, cybersecurity sector ETF. Cybersecurity has been a buzzword for a while now. But, as usual, the market takes its sweet old time as to when it wants to acknowledge a given theme. In this case, HACK bulls have had their...

A Nitty Way to Try to Profit

If you are a poker "nit," then it does not get much better if you can make money in the stock market by playing a stock with the ticker symbol, FOLD. In this case, FOLD is the symbol for the biotechnology firm, Amicus Therapeutics, Inc.. FOLD specializes in rare and orphan diseases. And despite a late-stage trial failure this morning, the...
