The Drop in Target Shares is a sign to buy Target & T-Bonds

Notice how Target tends to fall and signal a weak economy, which is picked up in the Bond market with falling rates (Bonds rise when rates fall - this is a chart of yields). There are 3 white-box areas that show the pattern. You can see it is a very reliable and useful pattern.

This time around, however, that signal is not transmitting through in the markets. There is a strong feeling that now is the time to borrow money and the world is out there aggressively selling T-Bonds now, which is also building up a huge short position in futures markets. Market commentators are talking about how big the short position is, but the reason it is there is because people believe interest rates are headed higher because of the Trump Administration.

What I think we should do is to buy $TGT here. Because this is a divergence this time and Target is oversold down into a level where there is significant support and volumes are slowing down and losing momentum as buyers absorb shares from the panicking sellers.

I view upside as the $70-$72 area in the next 3-6 months. I would consider selling calls at the $70 level to capture premium which is likely elevated due to recent volatility.

I'll do some fundamental valuation analysis next, but this chart is compelling enough to me to make me want to own Treasury Bonds and to also own Target shares, instead of holding onto cash.

Cheers.

Valuation is decent with 5+% free cash flow yield.
