A New Thanksgiving Sweet Potato
Hi Shoppers, A beautiful doji was created on Friday in Gap Inc (Ticker: GPS): GPS has had a nice run up from $8.00 since September 30, a doji. I think GPS can trade back down to around $11.50. Looking at the options, I like the Dec02 expiration date: I will be looking for the stock […]
Still Great Memories
Hi Shoppers, I believe there is a shooting star created in Colgate Palmolive (Ticker: CL): A shooting star can indicate a trend reversal at the top of an uptrend. I do have support at $74.75, so I will wait for the stock to trade below $74.25 or so before hopping into next week’s puts: The […]
First Griff Then FDX
Hi Shoppers, Looking at the FedEx (Ticker: FDX) chart, I think it is gearing up for a run higher: The last two days have created spinning tops and the start of a bull flag off that large green bullish candle. I think FDX is getting ready to close that gap created on September 15th which […]
A Bold Prediction
Hi Shoppers, I have a bold prediction to make. But first a quick charting lesson. The head and shoulder formation is considered one of the most powerful reversal signals in technical analysis. This formation can be found at the top or the bottom of a trend and it signals the end of that trend. This […]
Just a Trade Idea
Hi Shoppers, Looking at the Intel (Ticker: INTC) chart, it has broken out of a trading range, to the upside: INTC has definitively cleared the 50-day moving average (blue line) and has broken out of the trading range it had been in since October 31st. Looking at the calls, I like the Nov18 expiration: I […]
Is QS Ready for a Bounce?
Hi Shoppers, Quantumscape (Ticker: QS) may have formed a trend-changing doji yesterday: I am seeing a great support level at $7.62, which you can use as your stop loss, meaning if the stock trades below that level bail on your long calls. Take your loss. Looking at the calls, I like the Nov18 8 calls: […]

Don’t Call Me a Suburban Housewife
Hi Shoppers, With this midterm election coming up, all I am hearing is the term “suburban housewife.” I am not so sure I like that term or to be generalized in such a way. Do I live in the suburbs? Yes. (Well, until about a month ago.) But as a city-dweller it was my biggest […]
Our Fed Whisperer
Hi Shoppers, Well, it is finally here. Today is the day of the Fed Meeting or the Federal Open Market Committee – FOMC – meeting. How much is the rate hike going to be? We all know they are raising rates, and the consensus seems to be a .75 bps. Now there is so much […]
What a Rally!
Hi Shoppers, Wow! What a rally! Right? Check out the trading range on the E-mini S&P Futures (Ticker: ES) from Thursday night to Friday: Once the Amazon earnings were released at 3:25 p.m. ET, ES sank down to $3,757 but recovered by 6 p.m. back to $3,800. Then, by Friday morning, we opened higher at […]
