Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN): This Casino Operator Is an Immediate 'Sell'

Just one month ago, shares of big casino operators were threatening to break out to the upside from their respective six-month swoons. Fast forward to this week, and they are doing anything but that.
The attempt to rally failed, and now casino stocks -- and Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN) in particular -- are breaking down below support.
Based on the size and shape of the pattern formed so far this year, there looks to be a big drop coming.

After peaking in March near $249, WYNN reversed course and fell to a low below $200 by late April. From there, it settled into a sideways range, offering short-term traders some good action, but essentially going nowhere for months.  (more)

No junior gold stock is a "sure thing"... but these could be the next best stocks you'll find

From The Gold Report: 
Keith Phillips, a managing director and head of Cowen & Company’s Mining Investment Banking Group, says strong companies with solid balance sheets are on the hunt for precious metals development projects or small producers trading at steep discounts. In this interview with The Gold Report, Phillips explains that these juniors represent unprecedented value for acquirers with longer-term goals, and he tracks some potential M&A prey.
The Gold Report: Canada’s Financial Post reports that as of July 30, 2014, there have been 41 mining deals worth a combined CA$7.1 billion (CA$7.1B) in 2014. The total value of the deals reached CA$9.3B in 2013. Do you believe that total will be eclipsed before 2015?  (more)

Homebuilder Stocks Getting Hit Again Despite Higher Dow DJUSHB

investmentresearchdynamics.com / By David Kranzler / September 3, 2014
[note:  the DJUSHB Dow Jones Home Construction Index has hit a new low on the day since I posted this report - it's down almost well over 2%  nearly 3%  now]

Despite what seems to be an inexorably rising stock market, the homebuilder stocks continue their negative divergence from the direction of the general market.   In fact, the homebuilder stocks dropped over 1% at today’s market open despite another unexplained “pop” in the S&P 500.

The message of the market is unmistakable:   the housing sector is tanking (click to enlarge).

This is despite the fact that 30-yr mortgage rates have come down to their lowest level in a year.  That fact that buyers are disappearing is reflected in today’s mortgage purchase applications report from the Mortgage Bankers Association which showed another 2% drop in applications files vs. the previous week and a 12% plunge from a year ago.
