Market Summary (continued) The midcaps led the charge to the new highs on the week, hitting it Tuesday followed by RUTX. SP500, NASDAQ took a bit more time, but got there -- barely. New High Anxiety stepped aside for the session, but these were not great breaks for the big cap indices. Perhaps they will follow the RUTX, SP400 lead and put some mileage on the new highs next week. DJ30 and SOX were not dogs, they just have farther to go. DJ30 cleared the late February peak Tuesday, the penultimate high before getting to the January high, gave it up, but then rebounded Friday. SOX rallied well Tuesday through Friday, clearing the 50 day MA's with the Friday gap and rally, holding the gains to the close. As noted, not new highs, but not bad at all. Notably, no new high for NASDAQ 100. It is not the big techs, or at least not a lot of them, moving to highs. Rah, rah for the new highs. Lots of ebullient spirits Friday post-close, a bit too ebullient for a Friday. New highs do that, even if they are on light trade. Then again, the market has moved with light trade for about . . . ever. So it seems.

The market spreading out the upside on the week allowed us to take some gain from several areas. AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.) Company Profile Picked up AMD positions on 8/6 as it broke higher from a 10 day EMA test after a breakout. Stock at $19.89, January $19.00 strike options at $2.79. Then . . . we waited. It was a slow, snail-like crawl up the 10 day EMA into last week. Teased greatness, but had to overcome all the other chips struggling. Finally a bid hit Wednesday and it shot higher Thursday and Friday, touching the initial target. We sold half the stock for $23.45 (20+%) and the options for $5.50 (+97%). DOCU (DocuSign, Inc.) Company Profile Picked up DOCU 8/2 as it broke higher off a 50 day EMA test. Stock for $58.88, September $57.50 call options for $5.90. Nice rally the following week, but then DOCU slid back to the 50 day SMA. Held there until last week when it jumped Monday and then rallied to the initial target on Friday. Hit it, we sold half the stock for $66.95 (+13.7%) and half the options for $10.20 (70+%). NUVA (NuVasive, Inc.) Company Profile Bought into NUVA 8/9 with stock at $64.26 and December $60.00 strike calls at $4.90. NUVA exploded higher late July and was testing that move. We picked it up as it jumped higher. NUVA was pretty solid from the get go. Rallied up the 10 day EMA into Monday, hitting our initial target. We banked some of the gain, selling half the stock for $70.25 (9+% gain) and half the options for $11.00 (124%). SFIX (Stitch Fix, Inc.) Company Profile Entered on 8/9 as well, picking up the stock for $31.17 and some September $30 strike calls for $3.60. SFIX jumped higher, then tested laterally through last Monday. Then it took off, racing upside and hitting our target Tuesday. We sold some stock for $36.25 (16.3%) and the options for $6.1 (69%).

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: 10/31/2018 STATUS: Cup w/handle. After a long selloff from June 2017, this year CRUS has formed a base, a cup with handle spanning mid-January to present. Bottomed April to June, forming the handle late July to August. The handle consists of a triangle formed over the 50 day EMA the past four weeks. It has bumped up against the 200 day SMA early August, and after rebounding last week, is bunching up against that level the past three sessions. Our play is to move in as CRUS breaks through the 200 day SMA and makes that move stick. CHART VIDEO Volume: 490.528K Avg Volume: 1.021M BUY POINT: $44.34 Volume=1.5M Target=$52.00 Stop=$41.83 POSITION: CRUS DEC 21 2018 45.00 C - (44 delta) &/or Stock Learn more about our Stock Split Report and how we have made gains of 321% with our powerful stock split plays!

ETN (Eaton Corp.--$81.68; +0.76; optionable): Industrial electrical Company Profile EARNINGS: 10/30/2018 STATUS: Cup w/handle. Strong rally in January 2018 peaked rather violently and reversed. ETN fell into the current base. Formed an inverted head and shoulders April to early June, broke higher but that failed. Continued in the base then rallied again in July, moving past the interim highs in the pattern. This month ETN, similar to CRUS, formed a four week pennant handle. Put in a higher low at the 20 day EMA inside the triangle. Looks as if ETN is close to a breakout. When it does make the break over the buy point and holds the move on good volume, that is the entry signal. Looking for a move back to the prior highs as the initial target. That move lands a 95%ish gain on the call options. CHART VIDEO Volume: 1.066M Avg Volume: 2.317M BUY POINT: $82.11 Volume=3.2M Target=$89.99 Stop=$79.45 POSITION: ETN JAN 18 2019 82.50 C - (45 delta) &/or Stock Save $600 per year and enjoy a 2 week trial of our IH Alerts Service! | ||
