CPKI Weekly Chart

Restaurants like CPKI, BJRI, and CAKE have all been on an absolute tear lately.  PNRA just got killed after hours for merely meeting expectations today, so I think the sector is showing that its hopes are a little too inflated.  If there is a market correction these will all be solid stocks to watch for short opportunities.

Triggers

  • Above $17 – note the 52 week breakout and consider playing if there’s a lot of consolidation between now and then (and the economy is better)
  • Below $14 – short
