Leaves Still on the Trees

With one eye on the lagging small caps in the Russell 2000 Index (not to mention mostly sluggish biotechs, healthcare, transports, and high yield corporate paper of late), we want to stay balanced as long as those parts of the market do not wreck some of the more intriguing, emerging plays of late. Specifically, the likes of Grubhub Inc.,...

Square May Decide if it is Hip to Be Bear

Jack Dorsey's better half, Square, is set to report earnings tonight after the bell. Much like NVDA tomorrow night, SQ is a new market growth leader which has enjoyed a strong if not steep rally ahead of this earnings report.

Love Does Not Need to Be Perfect

Just as we do not want to linger too much the likes of SNAP's disaster earnings reaction today and instead focus on peers acting more constructively, namely FB TWTR, we also do want to lament some burger joints getting obliterated after their own reports of late, especially HABT RRGB. Although it may easy to extrapolate the HABT RRGB blow-ups...

Since then, the navigation hardware has practically become a casualty of capitalism's creative destruction, with step-by-step voice...

Here Comes the River Card for Zynga...

ZNGA is selling off today in front of earnings tonight, among a few other firms of note like SNAP COHR BEAT etc.. Zynga has seen an improved chart in a hot sector, and could easily be a buyout target. So, the dump today is interesting to say the least. I am looking to see if the names bounces back tonight to keep it on the radar. As for the...

Let's Start a Cocoa Farm

In addition to the move in natural gas this week, another under-the-radar commodity is cocoa. The NIB, admittedly a thinly-traded ETN, still gives a pretty good idea of the resurgent strength in cocoa. On the monthly chart, below, the signs of a major bottom in place, beyond the plethora of articles around the world about the dearth of cocoa...

Who Blinks First?

Of all the major indices we regularly review for Members, the lone part of the market where bears could still make a colorable claim of something amiss of late has remained the small (and micro) cap stocks. We have repeatedly looked the remarkably compressed IWM daily chart, updated below, which is the actively-traded ETF for those Russell 2000...
