It’s Time to Play Supermarket Sweep!

[youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bosSU0lXssk&feature=related 550 412] ______________

Even before the wildly bullish reaction that we saw to SVU‘s earnings on Thursday, most of the stocks in the grocery store sector were set up quite handsomely, indeed. Choose whichever macro thesis you want to explain these setups, but this is what I look for–Clean charts with price and volume working in concert. As you can clearly see for yourself on the annotated charts that I present below, the supermarkets are where the action is at these days. To put the cherry on top, The PPT Seasonality feature gives the Grocery Store Industry the nod with impressive April statistics, seen below.

    LOL, my college roommate went on that show and won several years ago. He won enough money to pay back all of the money we lent him.
