Interesting Spot for Netflix Into Earnings Tonight
Although I am not much of an earnings gambler, I do think it is interesting to see NFLX right back to its prior highs as it heads into earnings after market close tonight. The weekly chart, below, illustrates as much. Perhaps the stock is in a holding pattern and will use the report as an excuse to gap above or below this critical level. ...

Down to a Runner; Chess Moves
With the stock continuing to squeeze, I sold another piece of my X long here at $27.58 from my $25.40 entry yesterday to scale more gains. I am now down to about 25% of my original position size with a stop at my entry to protect the win. As tempting as it is to press for a higher move, the fact remains that the energy, materials, and steels...

Playing the Relatives; Chess Moves
While the GDX and GDXJ ETFs (for the senior and junior gold miners, respectively) negotiate their 50-day moving averages from the underside, I a electing to play a relative strength name in the group.

After...

Scaling a Hot Position; Chess Moves
With my letter X long hitting up through its upper daily chart Bollinger Band (meaning short-term overbought) just now, seen below, I am selling about 1/3 of my position here at $26.88 from my $25.40 entry yesterday to scale gains. My stop-loss is still below $24. X and the steel names are benefitting from the rotation into energy and...

Let's See if We Get the Hat Trick
With BLUE and JUNO both sprinting higher this morning, the only thing missing now to complete our "hat trick" of a triple breakout from our big three biotechs on watch would be to see ESPR sustain a move higher. Indeed, with many biotech and energy/materials stocks squeezing this morning, not to mention beaten-down names like YELP we have been...
