The company sells ice pack, chill pack and frozen chicken, in whole, cut-up and boneless form, primarily under the Sanderson Farms7 brand name […]
The Breaks Are Happening
It’s a very quiet day for me; I’m just tightening up stops and thumbing through lists for new ideas; the symbol below, Axis Capital, is representative of the kinds of “breaks” I am seeing take place, which I believe are representative of some broad reversals happening in some sectors.
VIX Carry Trade & Crude Oil

Bank Of Canada Ready To Hike Or Blink?
Over the last 5 months the Bank of Canada has gone from worrying about flat wages and high household debt to planning a series of rate hikes into 2018. With the US Fed too afraid to hike, this has led to a rally in the loonie and a sell off in Canadian bonds relative to […]
This Bloodbath Is Your Next Opportunity
Some of the retail company stocks plunged yesterday. No, this wasn’t on an earnings announcement. It was in response to a breaking news item that sent shock waves through those stocks.

Regression To Trend: Another Look At Long-Term Market Performance – Tuesday, September 5
Quick take: At the end of August the inflation-adjusted S&P 500 index price was 103% above its long-term trend, unchanged from the previous month. About the only certainty in the stock market is that, over the long haul, over performance turns into under performance and vice versa. Is there a pattern to this movement? Let’s apply […]
The Effects Of Hurricane Harvey

July 2017 Manufacturing New Orders Decline
US Census says manufacturing new orders slowed. Out analysis agrees – but the rolling averages improved.
