I have now gone long on two retail stocks JBH & DJS mainly on the basis of record retail sales reports + just a general viewing of the charts - ie. in medium term upward trend and at the lower to mid part of the trend channel moving upwards also.
retail has had a 23% gain over 2013 so I hear on the news so i am not too sure how much there might be in this - particularly in a sector which I expect to be a good short eventually. - maybe until the half year results come out.
