Dirt toss to begin at proton center in $1B Hamlin community
Construction on a cancer-fighting medical center in the $1 billion Hamlin community is set to start. Grading is ready to begin for Knoxville, Tenn.-based Provision Healthcare LLC's Provision Proton Therapy Center on 17 acres north of New Independence Parkway and east of Hamlin Groves Trail. The 38,000-square-foot center is part of a larger medical complex that will have a total of 175,000 square feet of medical office space. The entire campus will take roughly two years to complete, and the proton center alone will cost about $135 million to build out. A cost to build the remaining medical office space wasn’t disclosed. The general contractors are Longwood-based J Raymond Construction Corp. and Orlando-based Merritt Contracting Corp. The architect is Knoxville-based Michael Brady Inc. Provision will co-own the buildings along with Winter Garden-based Boyd Development Corp. Physician groups and provider entities likely will partner with Provision and Boyd in the other medical office buildings. Provision settled on Hamlin for its proton therapy center due to the area’s fast growth and the other planned developments in the community.

Disney Strength Bodes Well for 2019 Bull Run
Dow component The Walt Disney Company ( DIS) handily beat profit and revenue estimates last week while delivering an upbeat report on major initiatives, including the 2019 rollout of a streaming service that will compete directly with Netflix, Inc. ( NFLX) and Amazon.com, Inc. ( AMZN). Mixed price action continued through Monday's broad-based rout, but the stock is now well positioned for the next stage of a major breakout that could mount $150 in 2019. The stock ended a long-term uptrend in 1998, stalling in the low $40s and dropping into a trading range with support in the low $20s. An April 2000 breakout attempt failed, reinforcing resistance, while the subsequent downturn broke support, signaling a downtrend that intensified into 2002. It bottomed out at $13.48 in August of that year, offering a productive buying opportunity, ahead of a steady uptick that stalled at the .786 Fibonacci sell-off retracement level in April 2007.

Disney Is a Potential Rocket Stock This Fall: Chart
As of early afternoon Monday, all of the major market indices are down more than 1.5% in a third straight day of selling. In an environment where safety trades have been hard to find, Disney is looking defensive on downside days while setting up a potential breakout move in the longer term. At a glance, Disney's over-arching trend since finding a price floor back in April has been hard to miss - this big entertainment stock has been bouncing its way higher in a well-defined uptrend, essentially skirting all of the deep October correction that harangued the rest of the broad market.
