Shares of Phillip Morris (PM) are challenging overhead resistance just above $85 a share. Since early 2013, the stock has failed at this point about eight times. I’m expecting more of the same this time. RSI, MACD and MFI all tell us this stock is overbought… and...

Historically, we’ve done quite well with Coke… Using nothing more than Bollinger Bands, RSI, MACD, W%R, MFI and candlesticks, we’re able to predict pivots off oversold and overbought conditions up to 85% of the time. Nowadays, as Coke over-extends to $42 a share, our...

As Aflac becomes technically over-extended, its time to book gains… On September 10, we recommended a buy on the stock [$57.10 entry], the January 57.50 call [$2.90 entry] and the January 60 call [$1.85 entry]. At the moment, the stock trades at $60.83. That gives us...

On September 15, I found ZUMZ to be oversold on MACD, MFI and RSI, recommending a buy on the stock and the November 15 calls. By September 27, we were out of half with solid gains. Today, as the stock appreciates higher in another delirious day, I’m recommending that...

What a market… Unemployment numbers were pitiful telling us an interest rate hike from the Fed isn’t likely this year. The U.S. added just 142,000 jobs in September coming in far below expectations for 200,000. Revisions to August were poor, as well. Gains for the...

The volatility, the fear, the indecisiveness of traders has wreaked havoc on the markets. Fear is running rampant, as the Dow rockets one day, only to scream lower the next. The stock market’s recent sell-off and sudden snap-back rallies – including a 2,000-point drop...

The last time we traded ZUMZ it just gapped from $30 to less than $24. Incredibly oversold reads on MACD, MFI and RSI got us in as the stock found solid footing. Close to 14 days later, I was out of the trade with a gain of 186% using the August 25 call...

We’ve been on the sidelines this week just watching the market fumble and recover, only to fumble and recover some more… It’s a never-ending game of incessant volatility, as fears of China continue. That doesn’t mean there aren’t opportunities, though. While we...

If you’ve been watching the market, you know it’s been a crazed mess… One day, we’re down 500. The next day, we’re up 200… It’s insanity. But, it’s still tradable. For example, the timing on our TLT November 123 put and TBT December 44 call were near perfect. Both...

Last night, I recommended that you consider exiting just half of the DIA November 174 put for solid gains. This option last traded around $10.65. I’m now recommending that you exit the second half of the put option here to secure even more gains. I believe we are now...
