    ...... $DG, $DLTR, $FIVE and others.........

    And on Boot Barn, Riley Securities came out on 11/21....with a Buy rating and also a price target at $92.....
    Boot Barn... sales clothing wear for workers, who want to dress-well and to also dress warm, ...
  • billyzeke: @champ $OLLI $BOOT $DG $DLTR $FIVE $JPM #Discount-Retailer #Strong-guidance #Discounts #new-Retail-sales-numbers #Adobe #News #Set-up #niche-retailer #No-other #see #employee #opened #lagger #before I can confirm that both of these stores are always packed here in VA, and that my college age son and most of his friends are big into the western wear right now.
  • champ: @billyzeke $OLLI $BOOT $DG $DLTR $FIVE $JPM #Discount-Retailer #Strong-guidance #Discounts #new-Retail-sales-numbers #Adobe #News #Set-up #niche-retailer .................thats good to know, #Thanks.... because I only know about the $BOOT location in Salinas, Ca...it is really swapped....and I will be checking it again.... today and Saturday, when I drive-by, I will stop and go inside for a look, it only takes a few minutes and I did the same-thing last year.... .....and I caught a real nice move, around $40K.
  • champ: $DG $DLTR $FIVE all of these discount stores are down today, NP's.
  • champ: @Onthemark .....$OLLI ...Yes I'm still holding and I''m building today, not a good move Yet because of $DG today and $DG drop gives Investors a chance to build-up a nice position in $OLLI....and it looks like around $71 is support..... ....and I will be holding my #Core $OLLI position for as long as it takes, to go up.. to around $95....however I also build-up a large #Trading-position. ....I see you dropped your post....however this is what I'm doing with $OLLI.....because I have a huge Working-capitol-$$$$/position to work with. Good Luck!
  • champ: $OLLI...HOD at $73....this is a #Lagger and this is a New position for me this morning and they will be reporting their earnings on 12/6/before......and these are in the same sector.....$FIVE $DG $DLTR.
  • Onthemark: @champ $OLLI $FIVE $DG $DLTR #Lagger Thanks for pointing out. Took a starter now at 73.10.
  • champ: @Onthemark $OLLI $FIVE $DG $DLTR #Lagger... Now we will see if Insiders and Employees start taking positions and that could happen next week on Monday.......and with #3-full-trading-days-left, before they report their earnings, could see a real nice move........however still a little early....but if a move happens, need to be holding a position........ ....and this is exactly what a Low-risk entry looks like. Good Luck!
  • champ: $DG might follow $DLTR, however $FIVE is up too bat and he might spike-out.
  • champ: News mover....$DG...is HOD, small/chasing position at $111.60, only 50 shares.
  • champ: $MS $BAC $ORLY $DG ....I moved off of these positions because of the $SPY...is not really working.
  • traderbren: #Consumer - just took a look at $TGT, $DG $DLTR, $M, $MCD -- yikes! Says a lot about the consumer -- versus $TJX, $WMT, $COST

  • DAN: ...
    Dollar General ($DG): This stock has been trending sideways for several months but has recently broken out above $240 and now forming a "handle" pattern in a really flat Cup & Handle formation that goes back to July. Resistance is at ...
  • Jazman0013: @DAN $DG $BBY $DKS $ETSY $AMZN Retail observations from the weekend. From the Northern NJ area of Rockaway on Friday it was rather tepid traffic. Met some friends and dreaded the ride. However, traffic wasn’t there. Buddy went to Dicks Sporting goods and mentioned no crowd. I had to go to Costco later and it was also lighter than expected by far. Saturday necessitated a trip to Walmart. Also light. Sunday’s trip to visit family passed Middletown mall, Nanuet Mall and the Woodbury Commons outlet malls in NY. No heavy traffic aside from that heading towards 95. Perhaps people are doing more online shopping. My friend who went to Dicks thought most people are shopping online. Anecdotal for the Black Friday weekend but I found it disturbing. Hopefully it was busier than it looked

  • Cjauger: $DG holding up well
  • traderbren: $DG - weekly set up looks constructive here....or you might consider starting a position at the 8 ema if we get a pull back.
  • bRobert: @traderbren $DG WEEKLY is LONG sloppy sideways consolidation Not really bullish until breaking out Still a lower high Daily reversal base $260 + potential $250 interim np
  • Cjauger: $DG $COST both breaking out of a base

  • Cjauger: @scottrades $DG I noticed that. thank you
  • champ: @champ $BJ $COST $GO $DG $DLTR $AMZN $TGT $WMT.....Watch because these these stocks might be nice Inflation plays and they will Also past thought price increases....however #discount-retailers, will always draw the most shoppers.....could line these stocks-up and see which one will outperform, off of these #current price levels....and for me, I don't really care what happened in the past, I already know that.... ....so along with all investors, we only care about the future....and all Investors will be looking for new Entries and or Add-ons....and so will I. However for now, my only swing-position in this sub-sector, is $BJ, at $60.10...up 3.71%. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  • Jazman0013: $DG still dropping. Most my holdings red. Happy to be heavy in cash.

  • bRobert: $BIG Daily reversal base Early WEEKLY pinch with move > 20WEEK $60 - $70 potential $100 with WEEKLY breakout Baby steps Bargain store moves in $DG and $DLTR to top of ranges
  • Jazman0013: @champ $F $DG $AAPL as long as you don’t leave food about we are okay up here. People have their cars or garage doors ruined for leaving food about. Seldom see raccoon or opposum, more skunk and fox. Bobcats are seldom. Too many coyote. I always carry a sidearm. I’m not too worried about the animals. More the problem people. Even so I don’t expect to have to ever use it. You can forget calling the police. You may not have service and they don’t get to you for well over and hour.
  • roddog101: Anyone taking a stab at $DG trading near the 200 day?
  • RM: @Jazman0013 $F $DG $AAPL I live in Tacoma, Washington near Pudget Sound. My backyard fronts the Chambers creek wilderness area, which is an urban wildlife sanctuary. We have our urban coyotes that come up to feed on the urban cats, small dogs as well as racoons etc. Coyotes adapt well to living around people. I could bag a deer with a baseball bat, there are so many of them and they are oblivious to humans presence. Black bear and cougars are quite common, but mostly east of I-5 which acts as a natural north-south barrier. On occasion one will wander over in our area which creats quite a stir.
  • Jazman0013: $F and $DG… only two green at the end of the day. Even $AAPL finally took a hit. Nice run in it. May go further. Glad I sold off my calls and some common. If we get a decent open tomorrow I will likely be looking to add to hedges and fade it. See what pitch comes in and whether to swing or take a ball…
  • champ: @Jazman0013 $F $DG $AAPL --- $DG is going to report earnings in the Morning, the open was at $231.31 and HOD was at $228.45, however I was got forced out of that Day-trade, because the Markets turned, NP. That turn caused a lot of Damage...
  • champ: @Jazman0013 $F $DG $AAPL ...The play is always the same, could also look for a negative open...so you can Re-load, its always nice, when they give you Time to Re-load,..... .... be ready because Fast-Eddie and his crew are always Ready and Waiting.
  • Jazman0013: @champ $F $DG $AAPL I’m open to whatever it does tomorrow. I can go mostly cash and sit out this chop too. My position in $DG is placeholder. Have owned from $70s.
  • Jazman0013: @champ $F $DG $AAPL let’s knock em dead tomorrow.
  • champ: @Jazman0013 $F $DG $AAPL --- Nice....and I was hanging around back then also..in 2017, 2018 and all the way into Powells rate hikes, that started in October 2019, Yes ..I remember that very well...
  • Pokersmith: @Jazman0013 $F $DG $AAPL Hope that open is a swoosh down and subsequent recovery....as opposed to a gap up and fade.
  • champ: @Pokersmith $F $DG $AAPL--- Yes...that would be the Play of the Month or maybe even the Year and it will happen, at some point, within the next 3-days, hopefully tomorrow.
  • Jazman0013: @champ $F $DG $AAPL my wife found $DG they open up like dandelions up here in NE Pa. I’m glad she pulled the trigger on it. It was a great pick. Still is!
