Equity Oracle: 05/29/14

It’s been a long time since we last traded JC Penny (JCP) but it’s one I never took off of my watch list. One of the most important reasons for having a watch list is because stocks tend to cycle. If you have a list of stocks that you are familiar with, eventually those stocks will give off […]

Options Oracle: 05/21/14

It’s not often where we see a bullish engulfing pattern as a stock is breaking above the 200-day moving average, which is why I feel so good about this long call position. The short-term target area is close enough for us to capture a profit on these calls and there is enough liquidity in the front month calls […]

Equity Oracle: 05/21/14

We’ve successfully traded Highpower International, Inc. (Ticker: HPJ) in the past and had great results. Once again the stock is giving us a buy signal as it bounces off the 200-day moving average. The secondary confirmation that shows us the buyers are coming in is through the strong green candle as it moves up and away from a well-established […]

We have done very well lately trading the cheaper stocks and EGLE looks like it’s going to be another good one for us. Today the stock closed with a solid green candle on higher volume. The higher volume suggests that the buyers are building momentum that could lead to a breakout of the near term resistance level.

We have been very successful trading COCO on the bounces. This week the stock took a dive and left a gap in the process. This gap has not become our target point around 1.20. Today the stock looks like it is going to close with a bullish engulfing pattern. If the candle is still green by the time […]

It’s been a long while since I’ve traded Abbott Labs but I never took it off my watch list. As I was searching for our next candidate I noticed that there was an increase in volume just as the stock was touching the resistance line. This suggests that the buyers might be making an attempt to rally the […]

Barrick Gold is bouncing nicely off of a well-established trendline. On top of this bullish signal, the news is looking positive for the gold market. Geopolitical tensions in the Ukraine are leading investors to the traditional “safe haven” investments with Gold being the main area of interest. I’ve put out an alert for our Option traders as well to […]

Options Oracle: 05/02/14

News from Forbes today stated that the Ukraine and the U.S. economy are likely to remain on center stage for the gold market next week, as traders watch to see whether geopolitical tensions lead to more safe-haven demand for the precious metal and as participants continue to gauge how U.S. data is likely to influence Federal Reserve policy-making.

As you can see from the chart of AAPL the stock has gapped up right to an established resistance line around 573. The front month premium is loaded with volatility and this puts us in a good position to collect cash from this bearish credit call spread. My expectations are that the stock will make a move to […]
