| Market Summary (continued) The week's rally was under the White House threat of Friday tariffs on China. Friday that threat became reality. The White House announced $50B in tariffs on Chinese goods via a 25% tariff rate. China vowed a response and in the first hour of trade delivered it: soy beans, whiskey, beef and some other US products. While it was hoped this stage of the trade reformation talks could be avoided, they are now here. Stocks struggled as the possibility became reality. Futures opened sharply lower. When the session bell rang stocks opened lower but then dove lower after the first half hour as China announced its tariffs. That sharp 10 minute drop was met with equally sharp buying, snapping the indices right back up. Didn't turn positive, but immediately jumped back into the range. Stocks range-traded into mid-afternoon. Then at 2:00ET buys hit and jumped stocks to session highs, trading basically flat from the Thursday close. The move waffled some into the close but managed to hold a decent part of the bounce. All indices managed a very solid move off the session lows that frankly were never that low. Keep in mind it was expiration Friday and that means holdings will be shuffled to position for next expiration. The tariff news was fortuitous in a way as it assisted some in the shuffle. Then the market showed a rebound to near flat: the dip was bought. Fairly clear expiration shuffling and positioning with the assist from the tariff news.

It was another week to take some gain with the indices and leading stocks breaking higher once more. It was also expiration week and we had some positions that continued to run toward expiration so we let them work as long as we could. The result was some big gain in the bank as we initially took some gain on the move to the first target, then let half or so of the position continue working for us with the pressure to take profits removed. HD (The Home Depot, Inc.) Company Profile Some June options were left from the April 26 purchase of $180.00 strike calls for $5.50. We sold them for $21.40, banking 289%.

| 2) STOCK SPLIT REPORT Playing stock splits can be very profitable, but it takes know-how. Our stock split service focuses on three main types of plays: 1) pre-announcement (where we forecast an upcoming split prior to the company making the announcement); 2) pre-split (these plays are made in the days leading up to the actual split day); and 3) post-split plays (plays made after the actual stock split where the stock is showing continued or renewed strength). Listen to Stock Split Report Editor Jon Johnson's stock split interview on CNBC-TV [ View Here ] Here's a leader play and our current analysis.
Company Profile EARNINGS: 07/30/2018 STATUS: AKAM broke higher in early June from a 3 month cup with handle base and has slow-walked up the 10 day EMA. Flat Thursday, started Friday with a gap lower near the 10 day EMA, then reversed for a gain and a move to a new high on very solid volume. It may be there was some expiration involved in the volume, but it is a very nice pattern, and if AKAM continues upside it is a buy on this continuation of the breakout move. CHART VIDEO Volume: 3.397M Avg Volume: 2.177M BUY POINT: $82.06 Volume=2.5M Target=$97.94 Stop=$76.32 POSITION: AKAM AUG 17 2018 82.50 C - (42 delta) &/or Stock Learn more about our Stock Split Report and how we have made gains of 321% with our powerful stock split plays!

BOX (Box, Inc.--$26.78; +0.06; optionable) Company Profile EARNINGS: 08/29/2018 STATUS: Nice breakout and rally started the last week of April, taking BOX to a new high in mid-May. From there BOX did not collapse but has put in a 4 week test back to the 50 day MA, working laterally there into last week. Thursday volume jumped back above average for the first time in two weeks as BOX tried a break higher. Friday a dip lower early with the market, then a recovery to positive. Looks as if BOX has put in the test, and if it shows a solid upside break this week with continuing good volume, we want to move in.
