$RDFN Upgrade sparks a short term rally in Redfin Not many investors were expecting NASDAQ:RDFN to receive any upgrades for quite a while considering the price action post earnings, but today John Campbell from Stephens upgraded the stock to Overweight from Underweight and a $23 price target. The stock has a high short interest which contributed to the 7.48% gain today, despite this we believe it will be a short lived bounce as the volume today was not that convincing. If the market becomes weak once again RDFN will soon be able to fill the gap created below.

ANALYSTS UPGRADE COMMENTS
"We are upgrading RDFN to Overweight from Underweight and raising our price target to $23 (up from $18). We have come to better appreciate RDFN's market position/strategy and a handful of its newer offerings," Campbell said.
"We also believe that the Company is beginning to lay the groundwork for a more e-commerce type offering (Redfin Direct, Redfin Now, packaged ancillary services, etc.). In addition, we see a very favorable NT set up as the stock has dropped into a more enticing valuation/buying window, many of its top markets are in the process of recovering from a tough 2H18 fallout and we see improved operating results moving forward, starting with impressive 2Q19 results. Lastly, we believe that RDFN has the type of model that can thrive in today's real estate ecosystem or one that is dramatically altered (ex. lower commission rates, limited buyer's agent involvement, etc.), " the analyst added.

Redfin, ascending triangle formationI know most of my posts are all crypto, but there is a lot out there and the market is very volatile right now. I am in redfin for the long term, but doesn't mean I can't swing trade it a bit in the mean time.
If you aren't familiar with Redfin, they just IPO'd last year and are a really solid company. I did buy in around $22 and will look to cycle out at these highs in this $30-32 area. If we get a crash, I am holding on to it for the long term as it has a great game plan.
Keep it on your radar.
