Cough, cough. Oh, I am so sickened now.

Thanksgiving is nearly upon us. I spent most of the evening prepping for tomorrow’s feast. Cooking is another hobby of mine. After I finished chopping herbs, making stock and so on, I opened up a local (not from anywhere in in the left coast) cabernet. I’m no oenophile (no Sandusky), but I can taste both dark chocolate and vanilla at the same time as I take prolonged sips of this wine. If you really want to know what this wine is, just ask.
Well, anyway, I finished my prepping and was starting to relax when I began to wonder about meat processors. After all, what is Thanksgiving without meat? I am cooking both turkey and cow this year, in case you were wondering. Below is the monthly chart of Tyson Foods (TSN). Get ready to get your Lady Gaga on. If you do not understand the correlation between Lady Gaga and meat, well, you are culturally retarded, American style. You must read read my “Today’s News You Can’t Use” post every morning to find useful cocktail conversation and stay socially relevant.

There is an Occupy Black Friday movement going on. Seriously. Organizers at stopblackfriday.com are trying to get people to occupy large chains and publicly traded companies. Upon seeing this news, I looked at the relative strength line of XLP, the consumer discretionary sector SPDR. Despite the fact that Walmart is in this group, I was a bit surprised to find that this sector has the best relative strength among the sector SPDRs. If this Occupy Black Friday movement turns out to be successful, I hope we don’t see any skirmishes between shoppers and sitters. No one wants to see shoppers’ bitter hands cradling broken glass of what was everything.

ChessNwine over at 12631 is absolutely correct to point out that you should be looking for stocks with good strength relative to the market to see which stocks you might want to buy when the market stabilizes. By “relative strength,” though, I’m guessing that he means “stocks that are not going down with the market.” Look at the two charts below. The first is BYI, which chessNwine purchased today. The second is of WMT. The bottom panels in both charts show the strength of the stock relative to the S&P 500. I added a 20-day moving average to the relative strength line to smooth out the daily moves. Note that in both charts the relative strength lines are turning up to new highs. However, WMT’s stock has turned over and is headed down, while BYI’s stock has traded sideways. A declining stock can have excellent breadth as long as it is not declining as fast as the general market. Remember to look for stocks that are holding up, as relying solely on a relative strength line, while it may look like a pretty woman, can cut like a buffalo.
