▼ + stars: | 2024-05-17 | by ( Paulina Likos | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

A top Wall Street analyst's stellar endorsement of TJX Companies makes us want to buy more shares of the discount retailer. Matt Boss of JPMorgan — Jim Cramer's favorite retail analyst — said Friday that several off-price retailers, including Ross Stores , Burlington Stores , and Club holding TJX, were buys. One possible catalyst for TJX stock is the company's quarterly earnings report this coming Wednesday before the opening bell. Part of the reason is also the growing appeal in off-price retailers and discounters as consumers in higher and higher income brackets seek value. "I continue to think that Costco is the stock to buy off of Walmart," Jim said Thursday.

However, as R.J. O'Brien's Tom Fitzpatrick points out, Dow theory signals this run may be short lived. While the Dow Industrials reached a fresh record high, Transports have not been as fortunate. Dow Transports in April suffered their worst month since September 2022, losing 8%. What's more, the actual 40,000 level is more symbolic than meaningful, he said. The Dow Industrials also have a history of pulling back after a 1,000-point increase .

The Dow first closed above 20,000 in early 2017, as investors began pricing in lower corporate taxes in the U.S. under former President Donald Trump. However, the Dow struggled in 2018 after the excitement around lower taxes faded, with trade tensions between China and the U.S. rising and the Federal Reserve raising interest rates. In 2019, the stock market recovered as the Fed pivoted away from raising rates. By early 2020, the Dow was nearing 30,000 — reaching a high of 29,551.42 on Feb. 12, 2020. The Dow tumbled 38% from its February 2020 intraday peak to a low of 18,213.65 in March 2020.

Kataria said the trades were auto-booked and a "daily email was sent to the entire group mentioning the trades have been reconciled." "It's very easy for other people to say that we were not aware of the trades done by me," he wrote. "Trading Industry is so big but there are no rules or regulations which fight for trader justice," he said.

These events tend to bring participation to the gold market because the commodity is viewed as a haven, he said. However, since the spot gold market is larger than the futures market, there is a tremendous amount of selling and buying volume for trading gold directly, which creates market depth at all times, he said. This creates more opportunities to capitalize by trading gold directly. However, in most cases, given the depth of the spot gold market (XAU/USD), order slippage is minimal, he noted. TradingViewHe emphasized that spot gold is often traded through an over-the-counter broker, and the volume bars may not be visible.
