This Grocery Stock Could Be A Steal At This Price

It's been a wild ride for Wall Street this past week as the broader indexes collapsed for several days before rebounding sharply back to the upside. The short correction was mostly blamed on the fallout from the Chinese stock market crash which triggered panicked selling across all assets and dragged down every segment of the stock market. But panic selling can be a great buying opportunity for value shoppers.

Sometimes a perfect storm can take a stock way down below its fair value. An earnings miss combined with a macroeconomic crisis can amplify losses well beyond a reasonable range. However, if the long-term fundamentals hold strong, investors can pick up a great value buy at a discounted price.

A solid company in the wrong place at the wrong time

The Fresh Market (TFM) is a grocery store with 168 stores in 27 states known for its organic foods selection. The stock has suffered mightily this year – down roughly 50% year-to-date. The company's recent earnings miss coupled with the recent events in the global financial markets have contributed to the stock's weakness.

When the broader stock averages all fall, savvy investors can find winning companies by watching for stocks that show a gain when all others show a loss.

Concern over the state of the global economy sent markets plunging on Friday with the S&P 500 shedding 3.19%, the Dow losing 3.12% and the NASDAQ dropping 3.52%. Stocks like Valero Energy and Ross Stores fell over 9% and further corrective activity is expected to follow next week.

But not all stocks are facing negative pressure. One company is the growing data storage field showed promise and lifted expectations following a surprise earnings beat that helped the stock gain 8.95% on a day where most others fell. Strength in a difficult market environment is a good sign of a solid company and could provide a safe haven for investors looking for bullish plays right now.

The Proof Is In The Pudding ... That's What My Grandmother Always Told Me

Guess what? Grandma was right!

On February 11th, I posted a blog titled, How To Successfully Play The Earnings Game And Win 95% Of The Time.

This blog posting generated a tremendous amount of feedback from our members, so much so that I decided to once again play the earnings game and pick out 5 stocks that were going to release their earnings either after the close or before the markets opened the next trading day.

I rely on Yahoo’s earning calendar to find out what stocks are scheduled to release earnings and at what time they will release them, after the market close or before the market opens the next day.

Here are the five stocks I picked out and decided to buy based on the Trade Triangle technology: Continue reading "The Proof Is In The Pudding ... That's What My Grandmother Always Told Me"

Tesla Disappoints And How The Trade Triangles Saved The Day

Yesterday we discussed how the Trade Triangles can help you take advantage of earnings. We had a lively discussion on the blog, with many members asking and explaining how the Trade Triangle technology works during the earnings season.

This morning I randomly picked out four well-known stocks that reported yesterday, they are: Continue reading "Tesla Disappoints And How The Trade Triangles Saved The Day"

How To Successfully Play The Earnings Game - And Win 95% Of The Time

Today I'm going to tackle something completely different and see if MarketClub's Trade Triangle technology can help you anticipate good or bad earnings before they are announced.

I randomly selected 20 stocks that have recently reported earnings and took a look to see how the Trade Triangles were positioned in each of those stocks before each company announced their earnings. Again, I only used the market-proven Trade Triangle technology to see whether you should be long or short a stock, or just be on the sidelines.

The results even surprised me, out of the 20 stocks that I picked, you would have been in positions in 12 of them. 11 were outright winners and there was one loser. You would have taken a position in the market on the close before the company reported its earnings. You would then exit the position on the close of business the next day.

So how did the Trade Triangles do with the other eight stocks?

The remaining eight stocks were on the sidelines. Being on the sidelines helped avoid five losing trades, meaning the market did not live up to its earnings. However on the other side of the coin, you missed out on three gains by being on the sidelines. When you analyze the missed gains and the avoided losses, you still come out ahead by having a position on the sidelines.

Here is a list of all the stocks and the dates. You can simply look at the chart and check the results for yourself. Continue reading "How To Successfully Play The Earnings Game - And Win 95% Of The Time"
