While updating this Chartbooks this weekend there were a few stocks that we've spoken about in the past, but I wanted to follow up on given they're near actionable levels.
Several shorts, a few longs, and one to keep on your radar.
In this episode of The Money Game, Phil and I talk about the Availability Heuristic and why we are more likely to invest in certain types of companies depending on where we live. This is a really interesting phenomenon that makes a lot of sense. I'm lucky that I get to avoid this bias more than others simply because of the process I use to perform my analysis. It's a solution to a problem I didn't even know I had! This is a short one that I think is worth a listen just to learn a little bit more about yourself.
Remember last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, when Amazon would just rip higher all the time? That uptrend came to an abrupt halt last Fall, and $AMZN came tumbling down like many other stocks around the globe. After almost a year of consolidation, it appears as though Amazon shares are ready to get going again.
Remember when Outrage Twitter was running wild with conspiracy theories about Chipotle poisoning its customers and the business was doomed? That was fun. You know who had more fun? Long term investors who turned off the "news" and stayed the course.
Earnings are coming up that may serve as a catalyst to launch the next leg higher in shares of $CMG.
There is potential for a 10-to-1 payout if we nail it and $CMG has a monster gap along the way to get us to and through our price target. But our aims are a bit more modest. We're simply looking to capture some of the barbacoa in the middle.
Last week I posted the mystery chartpicturedbelow to see what people were thinking once they removed the biases of knowing the security name, timeframe, or etc. and had only price to rely on.
Most people were on the same page as I am, thinking this is a structural trend change that we want to be buying, not selling. A few people were hesitant and wanted to see more before getting involved, but very few, if any, were sellers.
If you ask 100 people what Technical Analysis is, you might get 100 different answers. In this video I try to explain what Technical Analysis means to me. There are a lot of misconceptions about what it is and what it isn't. I hope I can clear some of that up in this short video!
Every week I go through my chartbooks and think about what should be highlighted as our "Chart of The Week", something that speaks to a theme that people need to know about.
Sometimes I have trouble choosing just one chart, but this week it's a no brainer in my opinion.
