  • phgruver: Good morning, y'all. It's moved into early Summer, around here. All the spring flowers are gone, and everything is lush and green. The temperatures are very pleasant, but afternoon showers will be the norm for the next week or so. Obviously, traders are liking the weekend news, but it remains to be seen if it holds. For now, utilities $XLU and healthcare $XLV are down, while finance $XLF is up biggly! All I can say, is, stay on your toes....
  • Nepenthe: $XLF $FAS $QUBT I don't follow earnings earnestly, but it seems the big banks did relatively well, which led me to the $XLF (today jumped above its 50ma) which in turn led me yesterday to take a small position in $FAS. The XLF is above its 200ma as well. Another I'm interested in is $QUTM, which led me to $QUBT. Early, but it's up 7% today and perhaps on the verge of a BO. That's it. Cheers.
  • Nepenthe: @Nepenthe $XLF $FAS $QUBT $QUTM Sorry, that's $QTUM.
  • DavidK: @Setshot $VRTX $SPY yes I had a MRI done about a year ago and all my primary care doctor ( nurse who called me ) said was you’re getting old and spine shrinking . I said no shit . I had really no pain that wasn’t bearable. Anyway 4-5 wee ...
  • DavidK: $IWM $XLF and others . Day 3 up instead of selling. I am buying puts looking for some profit taking in this 3 day run .
  • billyzeke: @DavidK $IWM $XLF I'm looking for selling too, on those up days the volume has been declining. Just a bounce in an overall downtrend, IMO.
  • DavidK: $SPY $XLF - held some puts overnight . Nice💰Hate to rejoice in so much pain for longs and also my family long term holdings. We just repostioned / rebalanced long term investments first of year and about a 70/30 split fixed income to stocks . Mon ...
  • Nepenthe: @DavidK $SPY $XLF Well said. Just yesterday, my wife received the anticipated email from her 'manager' saying that exact same thing. And so it goes...
  • joelsg1: @DavidK $SPY $XLF All my posted puts which I was happy to close for huge returns in $LULU and $RH are much higher today, and all my short upside calls in most every share I own of everything are dropping into oblivion, but I was nowhere near properly hedged into this self-immolation.
  • DavidK: @joelsg1 $SPY $XLF $LULU $RH my trading account ( play account ) I use on E*Trade took a about a 6 % downdraft yesterday initially . I said to myself , self , this isn’t looking good short term so I dumped all longs and started sniper shooting shorts via puts . Presently I have made the 6 % back and up around 2% . I feel fortunate .
  • joelsg1: @DavidK $SPY $XLF $LULU $RH Might be time to pivot again, see $DECK.
  • bigbartabs: @champ $FAS ... $XLF that drives FAS has 6 days of declining volume. Might be because the 100dma is coming up as resistance. Or maybe just declining after 2 good days.

  • woodman: @Timothyja38 $JPM - nice weekly candle, same with $GS $C and $MS. Much of $XLF.
  • Nepenthe: $XLF Don't know what this portends, but the $XLF on the weekly chart has printed a bullish engulfing candle. With the big banks mostly out of the way, I gather this may be a positive reaction by the market for the sector. Started a very small $FAS position, FWIW. Any insights? Cheers.

  • Nepenthe: $XLF Down to the 8ema. But will it hold? Added to $FAS; tight stop. Cheers.
  • Nepenthe: @bigbartabs $XRT $RETL as is the $XLF, probably following yesterday's and today's--$MS--bank earnings. Wish I hadn't cut back my $FAS position yesterday, but still have some while it marches up the upper BBs. Will now use the 8ema for either adds or stop. Cheers.
  • bigbartabs: @Nepenthe $XRT $RETL $XLF $MS $FAS ... yep, when a ticker is strong, and above the 8dema... that's where that channel can be used for day trade actions... the ticker new highs and the 8dema pullbacks.
  • Nepenthe: @bigbartabs $XRT $RETL $XLF $MS $FAS Ah, you've taught me well. Cheers.

  • Nepenthe: $XLF Breaking out. Probably on bank earnings. Added to $FAS. Cheers.
  • Nepenthe: @Wolf #Banks And I'm guessing, even hoping, that the market's anticipating the others doing well next week--C, BAC,GS,MS etc--and that's what's pushing the $XLF higher today, and maybe even higher next week, should their earning's surpass expectations as well. Added to $FAS, and will see how it all plays out next week. And so it goes...Cheers.
  • djgustoso: @Nepenthe @Wolf $XLF $FAS #Banks I added to my long $46 XLF Nov calls, have to like the action here, big breakout on volume, assuming all the other big banks will follow along. Not as sexy of a trade as tech, but I view this as a steady winner with low drama

  • Nepenthe: @bigbartabs $NDX By the way, isn't the elephant in the room upcoming earnings? Banks start reporting Friday, followed by tech at the end of the month. I have a small profitable position in $FAS which I'll hold over the first few days of bank earnings. Were it not for earnings, the $XLF looks poised to break out--BB's are less than 4%--but as we know, if they disappoint, it could go the other way. Just random speculation before the political fireworks in November. Cheers.
  • bigbartabs: @Nepenthe $NDX $FAS $XLF ... I've got an XLF hi / lo range alarm... 45.89 / 45.34. If it hits the new high, I'll take a starter position in FAS... and see where it goes. The low is the 8dema... that's most often the best point to take a starter position, if it gets there.
  • DrScience: @Nepenthe $XLF Note that, generally, for the S&P Sector ETF's, a 3% BB width is a nice, tight squeeze. In the case of $XLF, the current 3.13% squeeze translates into a $1.40 bottom to top range. I'd take a position on a breakout above today's high 45.86 (close enough to the 52-wk high at 45.88) or down around 44.11 (prior resistance from this past July) if first blush in bank earnings trigger a pullback.
  • Nepenthe: @DrScience $XLF Much appreciated. I've noted the figures and will act accordingly. Cheers.
  • Nepenthe: @bigbartabs $NDX $FAS $XLF Well, I hope I haven't jinxed you by following along. And without soliciting your advice, that's exactly where I did take a position, either yesterday or day before or...well, a few bourbons ago. Plan goes that if it falls back to the 8, I'll add if it holds, with a stop below, and if it breaks above, then go even heavier. Ah, the best laid plans of mice and traders...cheers.
  • bigbartabs: @Nepenthe $NDX $FAS $XLF ... that's how we all learn, and learned... by finding good tactics for ourselves, and by listening to how others trade. All's fair in love and war. (and trading!)
  • Nepenthe: @bigbartabs $NDX $FAS $XLF And all these years I thought it was how others drink. Knew something was amiss. Cheers.
  • DavidK: @joelsg1 $XLF $AAPL $MSFT $NVDA wife has about 250 shares of Apple in her long term account . Gonna have her punt this after crooks run it up to all time high and before the most likely disappointment in iPhone sales .
  • DavidK: $XLF- hanging tough but if economy is slowing banks won’t be making bank . Bought Oct Puts .
  • phgruver: $ABBV is still running, and pulling $XLV with it. @DavidK: $BA, no, $WFC, yes, $CLF, no. Financials, in gerneral ($XLF) are working, but the other two are in the dog house. Will they recover? Sooner or later, but, in the mean time, there are better places to put your money.
  • DavidK: @phgruver $ABBV $XLV $BA $WFC $CLF $XLF $CLF- yep this along with other steel stocks seem to be signally a slowdown in the economy . I will be picking up some clf sometime but that’s the big question , when ? Chart looks like down to 10 . Company had been buying back stock but maybe needs to conserve the cash now .

  • StockMarketMentor: You won't get this until Monday, but RNA is in a pullback buy situation. IF the stock acts well on Monday, I'll suggest putting this on the active trade list. But for now, I'm just giving you a head's up on the potential trade. The Dow is very close to its all-time high, as is the S&P. The financials ($XLF) are at new highs. The Semis are hovering just below the 50-day moving average ($SMH), and $NVDA reports on Wednesday. So next week should be a real hoot! Have a great weekend, clean y our rifles, and come loaded for bear on Monday. (I.e., we kill the bear and ride the bull. To PETA peeps -- it's just an analogy, not a directive). --Dan

  • X802tp01: $IWM $XLF $XLI $XLV all working Tom Lee expects a 50% gain in $IWM this year. As of yesterday close $IWM was up 6%. He gives many reasons including the green light from June CPI for small caps and a 3 year high 15% short interest in small caps. Mark Newton is looking for a confirming BO this week. Largest position from below and added 4 times since BO at 210. Trying Dan's approach of loading up on the winner with a series of trailing stops.
