Flowserve: A Valve n' Dump or the Quintessential Energy Catch-Up Trade?

Energy stocks are notably outperforming crude oil itself today, raising the specter of another potential leg higher in a sector on the comeback trail for over a month now. With this in mind, we want to stay opportunistic for "catch-up" trades which have yet to really surge with the sector. Flowserve is one example, as they make the pumps,...

The Henry Ford of the Gaming Industry

After earnings this morning, Wynn Resorts Limited is gapping free and clear above its prior 2007 and 2011 highs, seen on the WYNN monthly chart, below. WYNN is a name we turned bullish on inside the long-term investing/VIP arm of Market Chess Subscription Services last March 2017. Our thesis was that the stock had been adequately punished...

Some Plays on the Value Train

We have what seems to be another fairly boring open this morning on the major averages. All things considered, the context of this drifting action is not all that unwelcome by bulls when you ponder the alternative--Aggressive downside follow-through after Tuesday's big reversal down.

Big Blue Thawing Out in the Dead of Winter

For those following along on our multi-year series about IBM, last year we noted that it was "anyone's game" now as Big Blue had more than hit its multi-year bearish head and shoulders top discussed years ago here . At that point, it was more of a neutral look and feel to the chart. However, with IBM's recent price action and volume pattern,...

Lithium: Time to Move on to the Next Big Thing

The hot lithium trend (LIT is the ETF, and ALB FMC SQM are the main three lithium/chemical stocks) of the last several quarters is looking rather long in the tooth at this point.
