Shares of AAPL have been ripping along nicely lately, but it's approaching the top of a well defined channel so a pullback to the bottom of the channel seems likely. That support, which practically aligns perfectly with the 50dsma, is in the $185 range (and rising), and assuming it holds, I expect it to extend on up the channel to new highs. Happy trading!

Shares of ODP have performed well in the past several months, as turnaround efforts seem to be achieving favorable outcomes. Even better, they are paying a 3.34% dividend while you wait, and the payout ratio of 52.6% seems manageable to maintain, and barring a plummeting of sales, seems safe to me. They're also cheap at 8x 2018 estimated earnings per...

Shares of TLRY, and many other pot stocks for that matter, have been on fire lately. While I've made good money along the ride, its just getting ridiculous at this point. This company went public exactly 2 months ago today.. the IPO price was $17. In 8 weeks time, it's up over 1300%! That's incredible for those that got in early, but its a clear sign of...

Alternative energy was a major industry during the Obama years, as his admin's attack on oil sent these alt plays soaring. There's several different types, from pure electric vehicles running on batteries (powered by energy produced burning fossil fuels, no less) to natural gas engines, nuclear and wind options, and in this case, hydrogen fuel cells. It's...

Shares of ARTX look interesting as a speculative play for longer-term investors. The company is in the fields of drones and virtual reality, with recent contract wins with the US military. At 3 dollars and change, it's a cheap way to play on the long-term growth in those areas, which are bound to see strong growth for some time. Immediate support lies at...

Shares of GILD have recently broken out above resistance around $74 and have since successfully tested and held it as support (dashed green line) on two different occasions. They look destined to at least test the falling trend line (red line), and I think there's a good chance we break through that resistance to establish a new trend higher. I'm a buyer via...

Shares of FB are back to bottom of their well-defined upward channel, which has held for years now (Red line is bottom of channel, green line is top). I've been dabbling on the way down but am now being more aggressive. Long shares and December calls.

I'll be the first to say I didn't know much about this company... but a glance at the fundamental numbers left me quite impressed. As such, I'd like to get involved with this one, but it's up nearly 400% in the past year, so I'm in no hurry to buy. Ideally, I'd like to see a pullback to the 61.8% retracement around $9 before piling in. Conversely, if shares...

Shares of GM are looking interesting right here, right now. Fundamentally, shares are cheap at 5.8x forward estimates. They also sport a 4.3% dividend that looks safe for the foreseeable future. The technical setup is what has me buying. Shares are testing a confluence of supports: an upward sloping trend line going back several years, previously held support...

Shares of Ford (F) have been performing about as well as their old pickups, and shareholders of the blue oval have had a ride as rough as those old trucks, too. Fortunately, shares are nearing major support around $9. The chart on the left is a daily showing the downside 161.8% extension coinciding with the blue line on the weekly chart on the right. That $9...

Shares of regional bank SunTrust (STI) have recently broken out to new highs and looks to have some room to run further. I'm jumping in via October 19 $77.5 calls (the $75's would be fine, too... a $75/$80 spread could help lower cost), as it takes me thru the next earnings report on Oct. 18. That said, I'll likely exit prior to the report to capture the increase...

Pot stocks have been on fire, er, smoking! Wait, that's still a pun, right? Well then, pot stocks are on the roll! Damn it. I've been watching too much CNBC. Anyways... The rally in pot stocks over the past several days has been impressive, especially given the catalyst - Constellation Brands (STZ) made a $4bil investment in CGC for about 38% of the company....

IBB is breaking out to the upside, with an initial target around $124, the 127.2% extension of the major swing from this year's high in January to the lows in April, followed by the 161.8% at $131. I'm jumping in via September $125 calls.

Shares of Visa (V) are yet again breaking out to new highs. Barring the market turning south, I don't see much to stand in their way, either. It's been an almost picture perfect stair-step of resistance turning to support. The latest puts minor support at the $141-143 level, with additional support at $136, and with more significant support at the breakout level...

RISING RATES! RISING RATES! RATES MUST GO UP! RATES CAN'T GO LOWER! BUY THE BANKS! RISING RATES! Okay, you get the point. That's the battle cry of pundits these days. However, rather than try to predict the future, I like to keep it simple and just analyze the charts. So, what I see, being the simple minded creature that I am, is a simple head and shoulders...

If we are indeed breaking out to new highs, here's some Fibonacci extension targets to watch. Yesterday we hit the first target at 2869 and set a new all-time intraday high of 2873. The next area will be more formidable to conquer, as two extensions align pretty closely from two different swings. Therefore, I'm viewing it as a zone, which is 2955-2965. Beyond...

Shares of WDC have fallen precipitously over the past several weeks from north of $100 to around $62-65. However, a look at the weekly chart shows this level to be significant support, as it's 61.8% retracement of the advance from the lows in 2016 to the highs this year. Furthermore, the dashed line shows that this level was also a significant level back in 2013,...

Okay, so I must say that I'd started a post and it got lost, so I'm going to condense this one out of frustration and for the sake of brevity. Technicals - This weekly chart shows that shares broke their upward sloping trend line (white line), and it also experienced a bearish breakdown of the R.S.I. (yellow circle). The MACD also confirms this bearish trend....
