My friends are nagging that a crisis is on the way, the Dow is overblown, GDP growth is slow, etc. I have a way out suitable for such traders as well, even as I disagree with them. When everything else goes wrong, it is usually stock in companies that provide cheap entertainment that move upward. For this reason, dear economic whimperers, here is a review of...
I have some friends who live in Germany. They told me a lot about challenging types of speculative trades on the options market. And from time to time we share our experience. But the performance of the DAX in recent weeks has been rather perplexing. The benchmark’s unbelievable rally in the past few years gives no buy-in opportunities. And speculative...
A lot of my trader colleagues argue that upside in the name has run out. But all good things come to those who wait, as the saying goes. Growth may seem incredible, but hypothetical targets are still feasible. A case in point is if we benchmark the Fibonacci retracement levels against the latest steep decline from December 2013 until April 2014. As we can see, if...
Since November I had no public vision of the S&P. I have to admit that my old forecast did not come true. I expected the gauge to reach 2,140 and correct. But the gauge failed to overcome piteous 150-200 points in three months. No touching, no deal. No one suffered, did they? We only have to learn a lesson that in such situations we should prefer futures with...
Do you believe Apple will extend its climb? Apple is not only the most expensive publicly listed company in the world. This is also a company, whose shares have shown the most beautiful rising trends since it started to exist. They were not fearful of 2007-2009 turbulence. They were stable even when the financial crisis reached its bottom. After a split, the...
Today my attention was attracted by BAC shares. A lot of traders regretted not having purchased them when they were correcting at the USD 14.9 mark. Don’t worry, you may well have one more chance. If not, a better chance will occur when the risk/reward ratio tops the USD 19.8. After the gauge breaks out of the 19.8 resistance level, the next target will stand at...
I strongly believe that the trend will more likely persist than fade out. And I always try to adhere to this principle in trading. But when looking at an incredible bullish trend in DIS it seems to me that the fairy tale won’t last for long. The stock will come up against the strongest resistance level at USD 98-100. I recommend bullish-minded investors to take...
I have recently encountered more ideas about long positions. Meanwhile, today may have a surprise for me if IBM equities remain under the USD 155. They may continue to move downward toward the USD 100 mark then. Given the trends, this decline may occur within a very short time. Vote for me at the link: s30771535756.whotrades.com Thank you.
What do you think of when you look at Goldman Sachs Group stocks? Personally, I see one of the most sustainable trends in the Dow component. Of course, it’s better to wait out a correction, but even now buying into the stock, still above USD 190, you can make a killing. We think this is possible as the upside target is nearly USD 260. And don’t forget to vote for...
Many traders have been snapping up much cheaper Yandex stocks. To tell you the truth, I can’t fathom the reason why. No matter how you analyze the stock, YNDX holds no upside potential. There will be a glimmer of hope for upside only after the bearish trend (USD 25-26), which has been in place since January 2011, is breached. But will there be any more attractive...
Dear friends, the fundamental analysis is not my strong point. Could you tell me what fundamental factors are impeding growth of General Electric Co? Charts do not show any reasons for sluggish dynamics we have been witnessing since November 2013. General Electric Co has been steadily rising since 2009. From October to November 2013, the stock broke through a...
Why wouldn’t Miss CatB have a look at Caterpillar (CAT)? But I was left disappointed here. The equities got stuck in the middle of a symmetrical triangle, and there is no way to sharpen your claws. Alas, no room for play. Watch out! Risks regarding yield are similar both for short and long positions. In general, trading within a tringle pattern is dangerous. Don’t...
Despite the fact that all traders are getting ready for a drop in the Dow and S&P, there are no reasons to worry about it. Stocks with upside potential are still available. For example, shares of airplane maker Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA) are set to take off. Should the USD 130 support level be held, the stock could head to USD 150-155. Incoming signals are so clear...
American Express Co is at the crossroads. Now thee share stopped in the middle of ascending channel. It is a very precarious position, but considering behavior of indicators, absence of divergences and the breakout of a short-term downtrend, I would stake on the upward movement and growth to the upper boundary line of the specified channel. My forecast...
I was very surprised as many traders wrote that they bought gold last week. Sure, there have been a lot of uptrends since 1980, but it did last. Now downward trend from August 2011 (about 1,400$) is more important and familiar for stockbrokers. I think it’s inappropriate to plan active buying in such environment. Descending triangle of 2013 also adds negativity....
Despite the strong uptrend on the daily and weekly charts, shareholders of Johnson & Johnson will feel very uncomfortable in the near future. Broadening formation took root on the chart. This pattern promises increased volatility. I’d like to recommend to shareholders of Johnson & Johnson to stop trading these securities until new strong signal, or scrutinize very...
Many traders are perplexed. They can make no predictions for Apple shares. Where's a new historical high? There are five bearish waves according to Elliott wave principle. Thus, Fibonacci correction levels can be applied. 161.8% mark is on the level of 128.8$. Then time to sell short should follow.
S&P 500 is close to the resistance level of 2,140. Index can finally begin a downward correction after long-term growth, if 2,140 mark will not be overcome in the next week. The correction value will reach at least 1,950 and 1,600, if negative trends continue. Accordingly, it's time to look for ideas to sell short index futures.
