Uncle Ben has spoken. Did you hear what he said? He does not want your cash in the mattress.
Eurozone? What Eurozone?

Gator's Chart of the Day: MFB |
Retail has done well as a quick glance at the XRT will attest. MFB has not participated in the move. It has been basing since the last earnings report which was disappointing. The 20% drop resulted in a trailing P/E under 11 and a forward P/E under 10 while the PEG ratio is .84. Analysts have a price target of 24.50. (All figures from Finviz)
Turning to the chart we see the stock has moved up for 5 days in a row, albeit on light volume. It is now pushing the upper Bollinger Band and today closed above it and is peeking into a significant gap. If volume improves and price reaches 19.50 it could move quickly to begin filling that gap.
Earnings are coming so be sure to check for a date before you enter a trade. (I did and found conflicting information. The company website was silent.)
