Hi Shoppers,
Freeport-Mcmoran (Ticker: FCX) looks to me like it is in consolidation mode:

Generally when a stock takes a pause and trades in a narrow range it is gearing up to continue onto its next leg higher (lower).
I think FCX will test that previous high of $46.70 which lines up with my pitchfork resistance.
Looking at the calls in the Aug11 expiration:

The 44 calls are trading under a dollar with two weeks to go.
Just use a close below $43 as your stop loss.
Trade Review
SPDR S&P 500 (Ticker: SPY) did not give us any indication of trading lower on Friday, so I did not buy that put vertical.
Apple (Ticker: AAPL) finally closed above $195. Earnings this week will be very interesting.
Thanks for Reading … See You Next Tuesday,
Licia Leslie
