Thursday Morning Thread

Gator's Chart of the Day: TSCO
The chatter I've been hearing suggests farmers are going to have a lot of cash in their pockets and this is one of the places they like to spend it. The stock hit an all-time high (88.97) today before retreating into the close. The Bollinger band width is less than 5% of the 20 day simple moving average so it qualifies as a squeezer with a high base. With the market showing some weakness this week it may not be the right time to buy breakouts but this could be an exception.

TSCO Monthly Chart
As you can see from the monthly chart this stock has been immune to any downturn for years.
