      $CHK challenging recent breakout after so-so earnings and cautionary conf call - still holding above key 50 EMA

      $CAKE off sharply on poor forecast - interesting, the disappointment isn't affecting group ($CMG, $PNRA, $DRI, $PFCB)

      $NUAN http://stks.co/2UXm gap & crap candidate breaking EMA support - IBD 50 status sets up sentiment shift

      $MNST - I have a hard time justifying a forward PE of 30 - breakdown after 2/1 stock split could be juicy (pardon the pun)

      $ROST http://stks.co/2UUt five week compression at top of range - breakout would turn some heads

      China reserve requirement decision (http://stks.co/2UQm) looks like good news for base metals - $SLX, $JJC

      $SLX http://stks.co/1rVp strong breakout from wedge pattern: Watch $X, $NUE, $MT, $STLD for setups

      $NFLX has now effectively filled the October gap - still premium multiple and poor business - looks like attractive short

      WSJ says Swatch seeing no drop in demand - doesn't fit w/ $TIF warning - is this $TIF specific issue, not general retail?

      $TIF - volatile Q4 stock market had affluent consumers spending less - $TIF cuts EPS forecast, stock falls 7.5% pre-mkt

      @howardlindzon good piece, but there is more divergence between spenders (apparel, restaurant, travel) - I don't buy "consumption equality"

      $GRPN http://stks.co/1klc second time to break $20 IPO px - & on a bullish day - original buyers exiting

      @howardlindzon Retailers have to decide who to cater to - more competition both for luxury and discount retailers

      @howardlindzon I don't think "end of retail" but major transition to account for disappearance of middle class (barbell)
