Plenty of Theater Awaits
Although the general pace of the price action in stocks this week has been slow, we are closing in on some major events beginning tonight with Apple's earnings.

Therapy for Retail Therapy
After a good deal of discombobulating price action, the retail sector is notably outperforming today even as small caps lag. As I write this, the retail sector ETF, XRT, is up nearly 1% while IWM is down 0.5%. Regarding individual retail names, we have highlighted a few on this site, namely FL PLCE TIF, as holding up better than their peers...

Rare Triple Lindy Reversals for Education Stocks
Despite me taking some creative license with that title, the fact remains that plenty of education stocks are on the comeback trail this year. And perhaps just as interesting is that their strength is being met with little fanfare, as one of our Members astutely noted. To be sure, this is a group of stocks which were in endless downtrends for...

Bitter Beer Face? More Like Hipster Beer Face
National Beverage Corp. ( FIZZ), the parent company of the cultish brand LaCroix sparkling water products, has been on a tear in recent months. FIZZ is a rather heavily-shorted stock, and shorts certainly seem to be on the run as hipster weddings revolve around LaCroix , which is exactly the type of brand strength only a hipster version of...

Bloomin' Brands Inc., owner of the Outback Steakhouse chain (along with Carrabba's Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill, and Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar), is one of a handful of restaurants which have quietly enjoyed a bit of a resurgence this spring.

Guard Up for Mighty May
The month of May in the stock market is one of the more notorious months of the year. However, that reputation may be a bit undeserved, as June typically can be a rougher month if you look at seasonal statistics. Then again, seasonal trading in general is inherently flawed and should almost never be relied upon exclusively. Instead, we want to...

Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas
Tonight is a bit a curveball, but it is well worth the effort. The first season of the long-running television series, NYPD Blue, ranks among the best drama I have ever seen. After the first stellar season, an unfortunate contract dispute saw star David Caruso (now of CSI: Miami fame) leaving. At that point, there was a noticeable drop-off...

There's Only One Thing Wrong with Netflix...
And that would be Netflix cancelled the brilliant comedy series, "Lilyhammer," after three seasons ("Lilyhammer" was the first exclusive content offered by the Netflix service). Beyond that minor gripe, though, Netflix as a market leader is acting brilliantly with earnings now out of the way. The first hurdle for NFLX was breaching $148...
