Do the FANG Stocks Still Have Some Bite?

Strength in the FANG stocks is a harbinger of good things to come. Investors of all stripes should pay attention.

Trade of the Day: Discover Financial Services (DFS)

DFS has broken through a short-term resistance level at $72 on the news from Thursday evening that the company's board of directors has approved both a new $3 billion share-buyback program during the coming five quarters and a $0.05 increase in the quarterly stock dividend.

Trade of the Day: Micron (MU)

As we progress through earnings season, one of the trends that has been true during the past few quarters that is proving to continue to hold true this quarter is that the demand for technology stocks -- like Micron (MU) -- is strong.

Trade of the Day: Nike Inc (NKE)

Trade of the Day: Square Inc (SQ)

Trade of the Day: Twitter Inc (TWTR)

Since reaching its high in mid-June, Twitter Inc (TWTR) has been consolidating in a slightly down-trending channel, which we expect will ultimately become a “bullish flag” continuation pattern when the stock breaks above the resistance level that has been interacting with it during the past two weeks.

Trade of the Day: Constellation Brands, Inc. Class A (STZ)

One obvious target of a trade war would be beverage-exporters. However, we think that it will create an opportunity with STZ to the upside as investors seek an alternative beverage products company with more import- than export-exposure.
