This is the 2nd retailer in a row we've seen get hammered on the back of a good report. This tells me the hedge funds are done (for now) playing with "retailers are making a comeback because gas is falling 40 cents", and on to the next plaything. Remember, this is not a market to buy breakouts but breakdowns - retail has been strong for much of latter July and early to mid August - so now they are being sold off. These results are good for Big Lots (BIG) but reflect a bad situation for many in the lower and middle class. The company beat by 5 cents ($0.32 vs $0.27), but fundamentals mea...

Trying to find a retailer to replace the homebuilder exposure we let go of this morning. The thesis here remains we need exposure to something that works when the "it's time to buy America as the rest of the world implodes" trade is on. Now the funny thing, is in retail most of the stocks doing well, even today, as "rotation" happens are the very low end or higher end - the great middle is still a chasm.

While the usual road kill rallied huge yesterday: Kohl's (KSS), Macy's (M), JcPenney (JCP) I am looking for something with a bit more reality behind it - i.e. will go up on more than "flavo...

Big lots has been in strong uptrend ever since bottoming out two years ago. It continues to push higher & through previous resistance. Pullbacks have been in relatively low volume. There is a nearly 10% short interest in the stock suggesting that the sentiment towards might still be pessimistic. The stock still has some upward potential left.
