Surviving the Storm

Beyond this morning's glaring weakness in the prominent domestic solar, First Solar (FSLR), we have been noting with Members for a while now that most solars were lagging the ascending kid on the solar block, Sunrun (RUN).

How Badly Do You Want a Pot?

A Potbelly, that is. With consumer names continuing to catch nice rotations, by and large, and the likes of Shake Shack threatening a runway squeeze higher after its massive earnings gap with no giveback, we feel compelled to ferret out names which have been essentially left for dead in this part of the market.

Avoiding Overload: What Happens in an Internet Minute in 2018

I saw the above infographic posted recently (created by @LoriLews and @OfficiallyChadd).
