Shake Shack Inc (NYSE:SHAK) : The Most WILDLY Overvalued Stock on Wall Street

Years from now, when we look back on The Great Shake Shack Inc (NYSE:SHAK) Plunge of 2015, some of us will ask ourselves: “Why? Why did I buy that rotten thing?”
I’m writing this article so you can avoid that fate. SHAK stock is the closest thing to literal garbage on Wall Street. But then again, garbage can’t really lose you money, so … I guess Shake Shack stock is actually worse than garbage.

SHAK stock roared to all-time highs on Thursday, adding as much as 10% after Shake Shack’s parent company filed a trademark application for the term “Chicken Shack.”

Take Profits on Natural Gas

The price of natural gas has spiked 15% higher over the past month.

So if you took our advice and bought natural gas in April, it's time to take your gains off the table and wait for another pullback to get back into the trade...

 

Take a look at this updated chart of natural gas...

 

 

Last month, I suggested an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern was developing on the chart. This is a bullish pattern that signals the end of a downtrend and the beginning of an uptrend. The left shoulder and the head of the pattern were already in place. All that was left to complete the pattern was a rally back up to the neckline followed by a drop back down to a higher low – which would form the right shoulder.  (more)

The Treasury Bond Bull Market Will Persist

How many times have you heard the phrase “bond bubble” in the past three years?

There’s not much more to the analysis than that. In fact, interest rates are near all-time highs and could drop significantly, setting off one of the greatest bond market rallies in history.  (more)

Why Shake Shack SHAK Is a Bad Investment

Millions of investors and everyday Americans have discovered Shake Shack’s high-end hamburgers. They taste great, and the new chain is a snazzy place to hang out.

Take a look at the 1-year chart of Cornerstone (NASDAQ: CSOD) below with my added notations:

CSOD has been trending lower for most of the past year. Over that time, the stock has formed an important trend line of resistance (red). Always remember, any (2) points can start a trend line, but it’s the 3rd test and beyond that confirm its importance. CSOD obviously has an important trendline of resistance, which currently sits right around $32.

The Tale of the Tape: CSOD is currently stuck under a down trending resistance. A break above that resistance should mean higher prices, thus a long trade could be made. Short traders might look to enter a trade at the resistance.
