| Market Summary (continued) The week saw new highs or higher highs through Wednesday on all the indices followed by a modest test to end the week and the month. That leaves the indices set up quite well for a new upside move to start the new month. Oh yes, the new month. September. The month most associated with losses. Well, in 2017 SP500 rallied 48 points (1.9%), NASDAQ 1%. Didn't tear the cover off the ball thanks to a late month dip, but hardly living up to September's unsavory reputation. Of course, whenever the market rallies for as long as this one has and is punching out new highs, the worry is about market tops. Not without reason. The economy is strong with 4.2% Q2 GDP and the Atlanta Fed calling for 4.6% this quarter. Yet, the recent data has softened. I believe it is just a soft spot in the expansion, but of course the doom websites and authors are saying we are at a 2000 and 2007 type of top. Some headlines today from those sites: 'The decoupling has never been greater' 'Once the bubbles pop, we're all broke' Typical daily headlines. What most people do not know and what is bandied about by the global elite -- and even discussed by some great true economists such as Milton Friedman -- is the ultimate fix, the ultimate reset button, if it becomes necessary.

| 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 post-split play and our current analysis.
Company Profile EARNINGS: 10/15/2018 STATUS: Double bottom w/handle. Sure NFLX split in 2015 at a price over $700; indeed, it may want to announce a split at a lower price (the prior split was 7:1). We are willing to play NFLX as it recovers here, split coming or prior or no. NFLX put in a double top spanning June into July, then gapped lower on its earnings miss. The stock has been in purgatory since, putting in a lower low 2 weeks back, undercutting the late July low. MACD put in a bit higher low suggesting momentum turning upside. NFLX broke upside and rallied to the 50 day SMA as of Monday, moving on good volume. Spent the entire week working laterally at the 50 day SMA on light trade. Okay, we will wait and see if NFLX can give us a breakout upside from this 8 week base. Want to see it make the break and make it stick and we move in. CHART VIDEO Volume: 7.943M Avg Volume: 12.376M BUY POINT: $371.45 Volume=17M Target=$419.85 Stop=$355.45 POSITION: NFLX NOV 16 2018 370.00 C - (53 delta) &/or Stock Learn more about our Stock Split Report and how we have made gains of 321% with our powerful stock split plays!

XON (Intrexon--$15.38; +0.16; optionable): Biotech Company Profile EARNINGS: 11/08/2018 STATUS: XON is in a continuing downtrend but it has a repetitive pattern. It will form a rounded bottom, rally nicely off it, then stall out and form a new rounded bottom. XON formed a low in late 2017 then broke higher March 2018 through mid-April. That was the peak and now XON has faded and formed the same kind of pattern along the 200 day SMA. XON moved up through the 200 day SMA just over a week back, peaked with a doji Wednesday, and tested back into Friday, holding over the 200 day. Okay, this is the setup where XON rallies nicely. This time it might even breakout because it has moved over the 200 day SMA. If so, great. For now we want to play that surge upside if it comes and take what it gives us. If more, great. First, however, needs to make an upside break on some volume to give us the entry for a run to fill a gap lower from early May. CHART VIDEO Volume: 533.407K Avg Volume: 1.036M BUY POINT: $15.77 Volume=1.2M Target=$18.85 Stop=$14.72 POSITION: XON NOV 16 2018 15.00 C - (63 delta, low OI) &/or Stock Save $600 per year and enjoy a 2 week trial of our IH Alerts Service! | ||
