   We welcome host of Fox Business Network’s Making Money with Charles Payne to this year’s contest. When he’s not on air, the rags-to-riches financial guru is editing his free weekly newsletter, Charles Payne’s Smart Talk, as well as his new newsletter, Charles Payne’sSmart Investing, which allows individuals insights into picks that were formerly only available to institutions.

  Payne is going with the owner, operator and franchiser of a wildly popular sports and wings bar for this year’s pick: Buffalo Wild Wings (BWLD).

  With commodities prices in the dumps, BWLD stands to benefit as Americans have more cash lining their pockets thanks to lower gas prices. That’s cash, Charles reasons, that Buffalo Wild Wings will be able to claim a chunk of. Not to mention the fact that if chicken prices remain subdued, it’ll mean a beefier bottom line.

  A long term performance chart shows Dave & Busters Entertainment being a pretty steady performer up until June while potential peer, upscale gentlemen’s clubs and restaurant ownerRCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc (NASDAQ: RICK), took off last yearand Buffalo Wild Wings (NASDAQ: BWLD) has started to fall off:

Stocks fell the most since February as investors decided that maybe the market had come too far than justified by fundamentals.

Michael Nagle/Bloomberg News

The S&P 500 rose 1.2% to 2,041.91 today, its biggest decline since Feb. 23, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 174.09 points, or 1%, to 17,541.96. The Nasdaq Composite tumbled 1.5% to4848.37, its biggest drop since Feb. 8

The only news today was good news: U.S. jobless claims fell to 267,000, below forecasts for 268,000, and the 57th straight week that claims remained below 300,000.

So why is the market slipping? JPMorgan’sDubravko Lakos-Bujas blames “technical factors having already run their course.” He explains:

The market has weathered one of the most volatile first quarters in recent years. Since February lows recession fears appear to have faded, with the US market rallying 13% since then, the forward equity multiple re-rating back to its 2015 highs of ~17.5x, and the VIX back below 14. We think this recovery has been largely driven by fundamentally insensitive strategies and broad based short covering. Our high-frequency Utilization Ratio for stocks and ETFs has almost fully normalized to pre sell-off levels, implying little room left for further short covering. Positioning wise, trend-following strategies (CTAs) have covered most of their shorts and are currently close to being neutral equities. Risk parity portfolios and macro funds are long equities with their exposure approaching levels seen late last year. Long/short equity strategies exposures remain above average levels, and if anything have started to come off their mid March highs. With most of the technical factors h aving already run their course and with equity valuation at elevated levels, we believe a re-acceleration in earnings growth and weaker USD are needed to warrant a more constructive view on US equities.

Advisors’ Opinion:

• [By WWW.THESTREET.COM]

  The Bad

  Bonds behaved poorly. The 10 year and long bond rose by between 3-4 basis points in yield. I bought a trading position in iShares Barclays 20+ Yr Treas.Bond ETF (TLT) in front of a possible yearend pension rebalance. Big pharma stinks up the joint, again. Spec biotech is weakening again (Portola Pharmaceuticals PTLA, ACADIA Pharmaceuticals ACAD, etc.) Retail cant get out of its way. I am long JC Penney (JCP) and have trading positions in Kohl’s (KSS) and Macy’s (M) . (Nike (NKE) , Nordstrom (JWN) , Lowe’s (LOW) are downside features).

  The Ugly

  * The market bent yesterday but today it stabilized. (A good showing, all things being considered–but in no way decisive going forward).
  * Gold +$5/oz.
  * Crude oil +$0.50 and the rise is taking up some energy stocks.
  * The Russell returned to the spotlight.
  * Life insurance–particularly Lincoln National (LNC) (on an upgrade). Hartford Financial Services (HIG) gets a small lift.
  * Retail returned from the depths. The standouts–L Brands (LB) , Kohl’s (KSS) , Bed Bath (BBBY) , Nordstrom (JWN) and Gap (GPS) .
  * Ag equipment–after an analyst upgrade yesterday.
  * Brokerages.
  * Homebuilders catch a bid.
  * Day one of the Masters Golf Tournament.

  Nordstrom’s (JWN) is one name we did well shorting back in May of this year, and although we made another attempt at shorting the stock for a minor loss from September to November, our net gain between the two ended up being about 16%. Not bad all things considered. However, we’re still convinced JWN is a stock that’s going to move substantially lower when it’s all said and done.

Why do you trade?

It is important to understand the true drivers behind why you trade the markets. The answer is different for everyone. We all have different circumstances, wants, wishes and desires.

Find yours.

Below are common reasons people get involved:

Entertainment Gambling Staying informed about economic and political developments Intellectual pursuit and curiosity Side income Primary income Advising friends and family Professionally managing a fund

Your reasons influence how you attack markets. For example, people managing their own wealth might prioritize account growth over shallow drawdowns, whereas the individual looking to run money professionally will need to focus on risk control. Then you have the gamblers who will undboudtedely gravitate towards penny stocks and out-of-the-money options.

Your reasons for trading also greatly influence the amount of time and energy you will need to commit to the markets. Simply placing trades and having fun without regard to your profits and losses will take a few minutes a week. On the other hand, launching a fund will take all your time and energy just like any other business startup.

  The mall was created by accident, in some ways. Downtown Bloomington, Minnesota, lost its two largest corporate residents in 1982, football’s Minnesota Vikings and baseball’s Minnesota Twins. Over 78 acres became available for development. After debates about what should happen to the land, local officials decided to give it to financiers who wanted to build America’s largest home for retailers. It opened in 1992, two years before Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) was founded. Early tenants included Macy’s Inc. (NYSE: M), the Sears division of Sears Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: SHLD) and Nordstrom Inc. (NYSE: JWN). All three have been injured by the current downturn in traditional retail sales.
