    Shares of pipeline giant Kinder Morgan (NYSE:KMI) got shellacked back in late 2015 and early 2016 as it cut its dividend to shore up its balance sheet and avoid a debt-rating downgrade to junk status. The dividend cut enabled it to internally fund much of its growth plan instead of relying so much on capital markets. By the end of 2017, thanks to that prudent financial management, it expects to have its debt rating comfortably back in the investment-grade range.

    Finally, both of Phillips 66’s MLPs have several projects underway to drive growth in 2017 and beyond. At Phillips 66 Partners, progress continues on the Bayou Bridge Pipeline, which it’s building with Energy Transfer and Sunoco Logistics Partners. The partners expect this project to enter commercial service by the end of this year. Meanwhile, Phillips 66 Partners announced that it is developing a new isomerization unit at a Phillips 66 refinery, with final approval of the project expected early next year. Over at DCP Midstream, work continues on its Sand Hills Pipeline expansion, which should enter service this year. In addition, the company is constructing a new gas processing plant in the DJ Basin that should start up by the end of next year. Finally, DCP Midstream signed on as an anchor shipper and partner for Kinder Morgan’s (NYSE:KMI) proposed Gulf Coast Express Pipeline Project. Initially, Kinder Morgan thought this would be a $1 billion project to build up to 1.7 billion cubit feet per day of natural gas transportation capacity. However, bids for capacity have significantly exceeded the proposed plan, which could lead the company to increase the size of this project.

    A long term performance chart shows shares of Hasbro, Inc largely going in one direction while shares of peers likemid cap Mattel, Inc (NASDAQ: MAT)and small cap JAKKS Pacific, Inc (NASDAQ: JAKK) have gone in the other direction:

    One under-$10 toy player that’s trending very close to triggering a major breakout trade is Jakks Pacific (JAKK), which is a producer and marketer of children’s toys and other consumer products. This stock has been destroyed by the bears so far in 2013, with shares off sharply by 60%.


    If you take a look at the chart for Jakks Pacific, you’ll notice that this stock has been downtrending badly for the last two months and change, with shares plunging from its high of $11.75 to its recent low of $4.82 a share. During that downtrend, shares of JAKK have been consistently making lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. That said, shares of JAKK look like they might be ready to see an end to its downside volatility in the short-term if the recent lows can hold. I believe this due to the fact that JAKK has started to move sideways and trend within range of triggering a major breakout trade.


    Traders should now look for long-biased trades in JAKK if it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $5.08 to $5.27 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 695,817 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then JAKK will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $5.68 to its 50-day moving average at $6.07 a share. Any high-volume move above its 50-day will then put $7 to $8 into range for shares of JAKK.


    Traders can look to buy JAKK off weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right below some key near-term support levels at $4.87 to $4.82 a share. One can also buy JAKK off strength once it clears those breakout levels with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a comfortable percentage from your entry point.

In addition to this, Berkshire Hathaway also owns $5 billion worth of Bank of Americas preferred shares and warrants to buy 700 million of the banks ordinary shares at just $7.14 (current price $22.10) anytime until September 2021. These banks are positioned to become the biggest beneficiaries of the increase in interest rates. To get an idea of how this might happen, consider Bank of Americas forecast in which it predicted a $7.5 billion boost to annual net interest income following a 1-percentage-point increase in interest rates.
