4/25/24 - $colm print - sidelines - vrockstar4/25/24 - vrockstar - net cash nice, 20 ish fwd a bit expensive for the lump discretionary nature here... but seems like a well managed business, just too expensive w/ so many other options in this tape ahead of a potential consumer "pause". i'd not be short this name w/ cash gen potential, buyback etc. but don't think it's a convincing long here and realistically if they miss I can't even buy dip/ so not willing to neck here
COLM trade ideas
Columbia Pattern ConfirmationThe TA should speak for itself. The current uptrend for COLM shows a continuation of the bullish recovery for this stock.
In addition, look at the macro-economic environment. With impending social restrictions caused by Covid-19s resurgence across the USA, and temperatures dropping, this is the logical time to invest in Winter Outerwear. Local businesses and public spaces will be closed soon, but that only pertains to indoor gatherings. As a result, people will flock to the outdoor patios and seating to comply with government regulations. VFC, which owns "The North Face" is also a suitable play given this development, but Columbia's technical indicators and pattern make this stock more enticing.
In summation:
Fed QE + Winter + Covid-19 + Indoor Gathering restrictions = COLM LONG

Best of Luck!
COLM - Gap Above Trendline and RetestColumbia sportsware jumped in December and then reset by coming back down to earth. Look at the candle that formed today. Right when it hit the other side of the trendline it bounced hard. That’s not enough for me to buy, but I will keep this on the watch list for a bullish engulfing candle on the weekly timeframe.
