Search Party for the Next Monster Healthcare Stock

Evolent Health, a company which has fairly recently transitioned into a value-based care business model, could easily be the next Tabula Rasa (TRHC), meaning it could be the next sleeper in the healthcare sector to enjoy a monstrous rally seemingly under-the-radar of most market players. Since July 2017, for example, TRHC appreciated from a...

Trex-n-Effect Proving to Be a Summer Hit

In addition to an impressive upside move in most sectors and indices today in the face of the opening gap down in Netflix and indeed the QQQ at-large, downtrodden segments of the market like the homebuilders seem to be garnering more attention now from bottom-fishing longs. As we know, the XHB/ITB-related stocks have mostly been lagging the...

This is Revenge Against Netflix for Cancelling "Lilyhammer"

After its latest earnings report last evening, Netflix is now likely experiencing a long overdue correction to keep momentum longs honest. That is not to say that NFLX has topped out, nor have the other "FANG" monster leaders, as there exists very little (if any) technical evidence of a major top in place. But clearly even the strongest of...

Bitcoin's Oasis in the Middle of the Summer Desert

We have a mixed, summer tape on our hands with equities today, albeit with some enticing standouts across a variety of sectors. Still, seeing energy and transports dump out is a bit concerning and likely drives home the point we need to continue to hop around to the hot sectors with tempered expectations during these summer months. Turning to...

Dominos: My Pizza Never Hurt Nobody

Papa John's International, Inc. (PZZA) is, ironically, in the same category as Starbucks from a technical perspective, combined with a major change in leadership amid controversial headlines. Speaking pure of the price action, PZZA and SBUX look like candidates to buy some puts looking out to the autumn months perhaps to hedge against...

Sunday Matinée at Market Chess Cinemas

Although I wrote a negative review for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) earlier this year, a much better film which the acclaimed writer/director Martin McDonagh was involved with was In Bruges (2008), which is currently available on Netflix. The film is the epitome of what a dark comedy should be, and stars Colin Farrell...

May I Interest You in Today's Rotation du Jour?

In the face of some steep selloffs from retail plays BKE and ZUMZ yesterday, quite a few XRT sector names notably lagged yesterday's broad market. However, consistent with how this market has traded underneath the surface of late, this morning we saw tech immediately faded off the open (though bouncing back as we speak) and retail regain its...
