Johnson & Johnson vs USDJohnson & Johnson has seen extreme price consolidation since last November. Since they are a highly diversified healthcare company, currency translations affect their bottom line quite substantially. With the recent contraction of the US Dollar, Johnson & Johnson has broken out of a prolonged trading range. If the dollar continues to contract against other foreign currencies, Johnson & Johnson will make better on their hedges and increase the bottom line substantially, thus increasing free cash flow and overall economic opportunity.

Earnings Season Shows US Consumers Make a Come BackUnbelievable. Earnings reports this week show U.S. consumer stocks are doing pretty awesome. We had beats this week from consumer sensitive/cyclical stocks like: Amazon, Coca-Cola, Dunkin Brands, Domino’s Pizza, and Dr Pepper Snapple Group. Restaurant stocks are also getting some nice earnings growth. Boris Schlossberg of BK Asset Management said, “We are finally starting to see the U.S. consumer spend. Generally the reaction of spending goes restaurants, food, cars, and housing. As we see the progression move forward, that would be the validation of a strong consumer and the growth of the U.S. economy.” That's pretty awesome. So BK Asset Management is going to watch the consumption progression to gauge the health of the U.S. economy. The chart of SPY looks like an Ascending Triangle pattern has formed. That's crazy that this pattern would form going into the worst 6 months of the year but so far the earnings season for consumer stocks are coming in pretty good and so here we are.
