Finding Short-Term Direction For Apple

2016-08-25T15:38:09-04:00August 25, 2016|

I’m going to let the chart do the talking on this post, as I have detailed much of what I am seeing on Apple (AAPL). Essentially, I think there is more downside to the stock than there is upside and that a pullback or even gap fill from late July [...]

The Line in the Sand for Gold

2016-08-16T14:21:20-04:00August 16, 2016|

While the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) is having a solid day of trading today, there is some developments that should be of concern for you traders holding a long position in it.  Now, I’m not saying to short it right here, right now. Far from it, because it could easily [...]

Big Banks Are Shattering Resistance

2016-08-15T15:20:25-04:00August 15, 2016|

Watch these big banks!  Namely: JP Morgan (JPM), Citigroup (C), Bank of America (BAC) and the notorious Goldman Sachs (GS).  All of them are breaking out as I am typing this and they look like they could be solid runners for the entire week.  Rarely do you find them or [...]

The Biggest Sucker’s Trade On Wall Street

2016-08-01T14:45:19-04:00August 1, 2016|

Every once in a while I like to update my readers on the biggest “Sucker’s Trade” on Wall Street.  How these types of ETFs are even allowed to exist is beyond me. Most people don’t understand how the VIX is computed much less a leveraged derivative of VIX. Yet people [...]

Disney (DIS) A Menace to Traders

2016-07-21T13:45:31-04:00July 21, 2016|

I was stopped out of Disney (DIS) – other than that, I had a really good day of trading yesterday. And it came from some random bank that honestly, I know nothing about.  But that has been the difficulty with trading DIS of late – and I’ve traded it about six times [...]

Oracle (ORCL) Must Bounce Or Go Home

2016-07-19T15:15:16-04:00July 19, 2016|

I’ve been watching with great interest to see whether Oracle (ORCL) is going to pull it together and bounce at critical trend-line support or whether it is going to break below it and eventually establish lower-lows under $40.  Right now, I say it is still bullish until proven otherwise, but [...]

My Swing Trading Performance Last Week

2016-07-16T17:41:35-04:00July 16, 2016|

Solid week of trading! The market started off by establishing new all-time highs and breaking out of a two-year trading range that had previously rejected any such attempt. But this time it was different and as a result, quickly establishing a long bias was absolutely critical to maximizing profits in [...]

CSCO Momentum And How You Should Play It

2016-07-15T13:34:11-04:00July 15, 2016|

The Cisco (CSCO) trade setup has a lot of appeal to it right now. It has broken out and above the year-long resistance that has formed around the $29.00-40 level with authority. At this point though you have to be careful about adding new long positions on momentum, because it [...]

Apple (AAPL) and What To Expect Prior to Earnings

2016-07-14T15:22:40-04:00July 14, 2016|

Apple (AAPL) is on a tear heading into earnings and they report in less than two weeks (July 26th to be exact). It is hard to say how they’ll do following their earnings, especailly after the sell-off we saw back in April. What was once the market darling is now [...]
