Emerging Markets

The iShares Emerging Markets ETF $EEM had 3 corrections of 20% or more and another 3 corrections of between 10% and 20% from mid-2003 to late-2007, a period during which $EEM went up 400%+.

Since the 2016 low, $EEM is still to record a 20% correction. Don’t be shaken out so easily.

Nasdaq Biotechnology Index

Based on the 52-week rate of change in the index (second panel), biotech stocks during the last 18 months have been in their most benign (no pun intended) trading range over the last 10 years. A big move, either up or down, seems like its coming.

The Trillion Dollar Company

Who is going to be the first? $AAPL, AMZN or $GOOG. We think it will not be $AAPL. The momentum is surely with $AMZN.

Australian Banks

The price action in Australian banking stocks is terrible. Here is National Australia Bank.

Ibovespa Brasil Sao Paulo Stock Exchange Index

It has been a rough few weeks for Brazilian capital markets. In the short-term, the sell-off should be getting close to being done. We would not be surprised to see a rally soon.

Uranium 

After a prolonged bear market, is uranium making an inverse head-and-shoulders bottoming pattern?

A pure play on uranium, is also carving out a similar pattern.

Is the worst over for Chipotle? It looks it wants to go higher.

Starbucks

The stock has gone nowhere since mid-2015. Is the next leg lower and through the three-year trading range? We would not bet against it happening.

Darden Restaurants

A much more difficult call to make but we think this might be heading much lower eventually as well.

Another stock coming back from the dead. Looks like it could go much higher.

A little less obvious but toy maker Mattel may not be the worst contrarian long out there.
