Back to the Bucket Shop

In terms of updating this blog post from September about Kandi Technologies, the very small cap China play in the electric car sector has made solid strides from a technical standpoint. The daily chart, first below, shows KNDI threatening a fresh leg higher in a cutting edge sector. A move back over $8.35 can be considered a solid long...

Back to Salad Days for the Pizza Plays

Dominos Pizza, as seen on its multi-year chart (first below), has actually been one of the big winners since the 2008/2009 bear market bottom. Last decade, DPZ had some ugly incidents at its franchises and was generally viewed as having a comically bad, albeit cheap, product. The firm made a valiant effort to turn its brand around right near...

Lovely Animals, and I Ain't Talking About Coconut Crabs

Coconut crabs are grabbing international headlines in recent days for a variety of reasons (e.g. Amelia Earhart), some conjuring up gory through which do not need to be repeated here. Fortunately, we can entertain more pleasant thoughts about domesticated pets and their hot stocks, like BUFF (pet food) and TRUP (health insurance for pets),...

Slaying the Final Dragon of 2017

Despite more than enough excuses for a deep correction, the senior averages have, by and large, had a remarkably benign grind higher for much of 2017. As we come down the home stretch of this calendar year, with holiday trading kicking off next week, the latest round of bearish reasons for a selloff seem to cluster around the tax reform debate...

'Tis the Season

In addition to the strength in cocoa, using the NIB ETN as a proxy for the soft commodity, we now have sugar surging on heavy buy volume the last two sessions. Using SGG as a proxy, below on the daily chart, the bottom pane illustrates the strength of late. Clearly, SGG is not as far along technically as NIB, with the latter back over all...

GE Needs to Bring Its Chart to Life

For a good while now, one of the more notable dogs of the Dow has been General Electric. GE was a dominant market bellwether at one point, but as life shows us all the only permanence is impermanence. Thus, GE is has become irrelevant on some level, a firm which could have easily gone the way of Lehman Brothers back in 2008 if not for them...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

Clive Owen in Croupier (1998) transcends the cliché about a writer writing a movie about a writer looking for ideas about which to write. I have spent plenty of time in casinos myself, and Owen’s performance hits home as authentic. I was also impressed at how realistic the film portrays gamblers, dealers, and the general day-to-day ongoings...
