Zombie Investing

Alternative energy names, like PLUG, BLDP, CPST, SCON and FCEL, are the latest craze on Wall Street. This is a sector that was considered to be a joke, a laughing stock teetering on bankruptcy. Now it’s all the rage.

Before that, the shippers came back to life, eating the brains of short sellers from here to China. Before that the biotech sector surged and before that solar stocks skyrocketed, alongside Chinese burritos and education related names.

If there is one thing that is bankable in this market it is this:

ALL DEAD STOCKS COME BACK TO LIFE, LIKE ZOMBIES, TO AVENGE THEIR DEATHS UPON THE SKULLS OF THE SHORTS WHO KILLED THEM.

And that’s it folks. All you have to do, mind you, is isolate a sector that has been bludgeoned, position accordingly, and wait.

What’s next? Is anything still down?

LNG fuel plays: CLNE, WPRT

Steel and Iron: CLF, MTL, SIM, GGB, VALE

Retail: VSI, GNC, JCP, SHOS, TLYS, ARO, LULU, FRAN, AEO, URBN, ETH

Ag Chem: MOS, POT, SQM, IPI, AVD, TNH

Pawn Shops: EZPW, DLLR, CSH

Gold: GORO, RBY, SAND, KGC, AEM, AUY

Coal: ANR, ACI, BTU, WLT, YZC

Refiners: ALJ, DK, CVI, ALDW, CLMT, PBF

Residential Construction: HOV, MHO, KBH, GFA

REITs: MITT, CBL, O, DLR, AGNC, CCG, ACC, ARR, SBY

There you have it. All of those stocks are part of sectors that have underperformed, measurably, over the past year. Look for signs of resurgence and be careful of false breakouts, since most of the above names have been murderholes.

    MRIN is my next big play. This one has huge upside potential in the SaaS space and is down pretty healthy from its IPO last year. Balance sheet looks great and they raised FY guidance on last earnings. This one is gonna rip tits off when it catches upside momentum and gets more name recognition.

    ME! present , $plug old troll .. me was trolling plug when it was 0.6. I was given to be a troll .

    Mr Fly , i have a serious question , what do you do when your broker online doesn’t work and this make up for a let’s say 10000$ ( for inability to be in the market with essential -and paid- trading tools ,apart from the website of the broker ) . Do you take it to the lawyer ?

      Good luck with that one. I’m sure you agreed to a bunch of terms that it could happen and you cant hold them liable.

      i would wait 0.4x to buy . it’s a target . don’t know if it reaches there . it depends on the whole mjna sector , if it doesn’t pull any more could stabilize at this price

      for anything in the mjna space refer to $mjna movement , it’s the big driver , at least it has been until now , for many names. it seems that it has reached a mid term bottom/price so a big pull ( of $mjna) is not very likely , nevertheless lack of strenght could drive mcig i,e. to the aforementioned target
