Although I think we\u2019re getting pretty close to a period of digestion and consolidation in staples, it\u2019s still worth keeping an eye out for fresh setups within the sector. Like COST from last week, which I\u2019m long and discussed in detail on Thursday. DG is another staple name that\u2019s held up extremely well. Tight consolidation, converging 5,10,20-day SMA, and a nice shove last week Friday. I\u2019ll be looking for any dips\/holds above Friday\u2019s high to add long for the swing.
