Calls in WMT, Perhaps?

Hi Shoppers, I am thinking maybe calls in Walmart (Ticker: WMT) could be in order. Check out the chart: Yesterday created a doji right at my support level which coincides with the 50 day moving average creating even more support. As always, wait for the confirmation this morning. You want to see WMT trade higher […]

Can We Rally From Here?

Hey Shoppers, Wow! What a rally! It felt like such a huge rally because intraday they tested all the weak hands. The S&P 500 (Ticker: SPX) was up $45 before it sold off to up only $4.00, then proceeded to take off for the rest of the day closing up $39. If you were in […]
