How Strong Is the Economy Really?
And how worried should investors be as the economy continues its improvement and keeps showings its strength.
Trade of the Day: Target Corporation (TGT)
From a fundamental perspective, we expect TGT to rise as consumer spending increases. An inverted “head-and-shoulders” continuation pattern has been forming since January and was completed with Tuesday’s break above the pattern’s neckline.
