Feels good to be back from vacation! And I'm glad to see the stock market fared nicely while I was gone.

Looking around, we're seeing lots of fresh setups. But with earnings calls on deck, I'll have to be patient with many of my favorite ideas...

Shame on me for using the word "Hope" in the headline for this post, but I cannot resist a good pun ;)

We've got a play here in an old school Aerospace & Defense company that is on the verge of making new all-time highs. And it just so...

One thing the team and I have observed during recent market volatility is how well big banks have held up. Yes, they've pulled back like everybody else. But their relative strength remained in tact, and most charts in the sector held above significant...

As is often the case, the Labor Day Weekend has come and gone and some volatility has been reintroduced to the marketplace. And I say: "Welcome back!" with outstreched arms. Volatility = opportunity. Let's get after it.
