The Scenic View of Advanced Micro Devices

Much like our recent analysis of big-time chip winner, NVDA, Advanced Micro Devices (below, on the monthly timeframe), may be ripe to at least pause if not correct in the near-term. On the multi-year look, note the name rallied impressively over the last fourteen months or so. However, the $15 level has been a tough one for AMD, dating back to...

Drugs Are Bad, M'kay

On the back of Chilean ag SQM, which also is a lithium play, surging today, other niche chemical ag firms are in focus on the long side. Scotts Miracle-Gro, once seen as innocent as a G-rated Disney movie in terms of consumer products, seems to be acting out an episode of Weeds with its branching out to pot growers . Of course, an article...

Early Stick Saves Keep Bears at Bay

After some initial back-and-forth off the opening bell, a broad market bounce is taking shape in a bit more pronounced manner as I write this. Bears will argue that after yesterday afternoon's violent downside reversal, an early bounce this morning will merely set up some more late-day weakness. However, we know the trials and tribulations the...

This Market Has a Financial Napoleon Complex

I know the FOMC Minutes marked the excuse for the selling today, and some Trump shakeups, but the little guys, aka the small caps, and banks remain an issue for this market. More in my recap after the bell.

More of the Same for Twitter...or Not

Despite some more slight underperformance by the smaller cap stocks, the mega caps in the Dow and marquee Nasdaq issues like AMZN are leading the bull charge higher today. SBUX is trying to emerge from a multi-quarter correction, while VRX remains a bonafide disaster of a chart. But what has piqued my interest today has been the reaction by...

Who Has Two Thumbs and Wants to Wait Two Hours for Diabetes?

The Panera Bread Company buyout this morning simply reinforces the notion that the restaurant space is worthy of newfound attention in the early spring months. The Cheesecake Factory, for example, may be ripe to follow suit even if no imminent buyout looms. But from a technical standpoint, the weekly chart, below, shows CAKE may be tired of...

BlackBerry Back After Countless Body Shots

Heading into the closing bell on a rather slow day, the small cap and financials' relative weakness is pitted against the strength in AMZN TSLA, as well as some energy firms on the comeback trail. BlackBerry, below on the weekly chart, is quietly probing two-year highs around $8.20. If BBRY can overtake this level I actually like the name for a...
