/*============================================= = Thursday, June 10, 2021 = =============================================*/ Futures Up/Down % Last Dow 80.00 0.23% 34,410 S&P 500 2.25 0.07% 4,211 Nasdaq -37.50 0.27% 13,766 U.S. stock futures are mixed into key monthly inflation data as the May Consumer Price Index (CPI) is set to be revealed at 8:30 AM, with an expected MoM rise of 0.4% for both headline and core prices and YoY prices to rise 4.7% (which would be the biggest YoY rise since 2008) and 3.4% (would be highest since YoY core spike since 1993) for headline and core respectively. Treasury yields have been sliding over the last week to one-month lows around 1.50% for the benchmark 10-year ahead of the data, as it appears markets have accepted the recent rise in prices as “transitory” which is what the Fed has been echoing for weeks now. While the Fed has pledged not to hike interest rates before 2023, some economists say that is wishful thinking if these levels of inflation keep up. The S&P 500 flirted with a record high Wednesday before retreating in afternoon trading, once again nearly tagging its 4,238.04-record intraday high. The yield on 10-year Treasuries sank to almost 1.47%, while the 30-year bond touched 2.148%, the lowest since March 1. On a weekly basis, the S&P 500 is on track for its smallest range as a percentage of the prior week’s close since mid-October 2017. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index rose 97 points to 28,958, the Shanghai Index rose 19 points to 3,610 and the Hang Seng Index slipped -3 points to 28,738. In Europe, the German DAX is up over 320 points to top 15,600, while the FTSE 100 is up around 25 points to 7,105.

Stock averages flirted with record highs on Tuesday, as the S&P neared but could not hold its early gains (ended Tuesday at 4,227, just off its closing high on May 7 of 4,232) while the Russell 2000 neared its all-time best close as investors appear wary ahead of inflation data due on Thursday in the form of consumer prices (CPI). Consumer discretionary and energy were the best performing major S&P 500 sectors on the day, while utilities were the weakest group. A lack of clear market catalysts kept institutional investors on the sidelines, while retail traders fueled the ongoing meme stocks rally with more volatility from the likes of AMC, GME, BBBY, WKHS, BB, with new names such as CLOV and WEN added to the fray. Fear remains non-existent in the market as the CBOE volatility index (VIX) touched its lowest level in over a year.

Buon sabato amici Solitamente non posto mai le mie analisi, ma oggi ne posterò una. Dollaro index, come saprete, nel forex è quello che guida tutte le major, eurusd sopratutto se lo guardate a rovescio. Sembra disegnato a tavolino da quanto sia preciso il grafico giornaliero. Andiamo per ordine: 1) il canale dinamico parallelo tracciato è estremamente preciso nei suoi punti 2) l'onda (1) ha esattamente gli stessi pips di lunghezza dell'onda 5 come da regole elliott 3) l'onda (3) è esattamente 161 dell'estensione di onda (1) come da regole elliott 4) considerata finita la discesa con la C cerchiata gialla di inizio anno, cè da aspettarci una risalita fino ai tgt segnati. sarà un ritracciamento di tutto lo short nel canale, o che sia un nuovo inizio di un trend importante rialzista lo scopriremo solo vivendo. Buon trading a tutti. ;-)

Tuesday, May 25, 2021 Futures Up/Down % Last Dow 72.00 0.21% 34,424 S&P 500 11.25 0.26% 4,204 Nasdaq 56.50 0.42% 13,692 Stock futures are looking higher, adding to yesterday’s gains as the yield on the 10-year slips back below 1.6%, easing inflation fears for a second straight day. Concerns over persistent inflation have softened the last few days with more Fed speakers just yesterday (Bullard, Bostic, Brainard) again all said prices will rise in coming months but all see it as transitory. Crypto currency volatility continues as well, with many (Bitcoin back under 37K, Ethereum) pulling back after yesterday’s rebound. On the agenda today (in a relatively quiet period for news with earnings winding down) attention turns to several housing data reports with Case-Shiller Home Price Index, FHFA House Price Index and New Home Sales, while consumer confidence figures will offer some insight into current business and employment conditions. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index rose 189 points to 28,553, the Shanghai Index jumped 84 points to 3,581 and the Hang Seng Index surged 498 points to 28,910, In Europe, the German DAX is up about 110 points to 15,550, while the FTSE 100 is flat around 7,050. U.S. stocks surged all day on Monday, with both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq jumping more than 1% as a retreat in U.S. Treasury yields helped lift high multiple and mega cap technology stocks (AAPL, AMZN, FB, GOOGL) as fears about inflation took a back seat as investors again bought the dip after mixed stock reaction last week. Yields on the 10-year Treasury bond hit a two-week low, around 1.6%. Markets exhibited no concern on reports President’s Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill will likely be smaller than hoped as the two sides remain wide apart. Market Closing Prices Yesterday The S&P 500 Index jumped 41.19 points, or 0.99%, to 4,197.05 The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 186.14 points, or 0.54%, to 34,393.98 The Nasdaq Composite spiked 190.18 points, or 1.41%, to 13,661.17 The Russell 2000 Index advanced 12.07 points, or 0.54% to 2,227.34 Events Calendar for Today 7:45 AM ET ICSC Weekly Retail Sales 8:55 AM ET Johnson/Redbook Weekly Sales 9:00 AM EST Monthly Home Prices MoM for March 9:00 AM EST S&P CaseShiller 20 City for March…est. 1.2% 10:00 AM EST Consumer Confidence for May…est. 119.4 10:00 AM EST New Home Sales MoM for April…est. 970K 10:00 AM EST Richmond Manufacturing Index for May…prior 17 4:30 PM ET API Weekly Inventory Data Earnings Calendar: Earnings Before the Open: $AZO, $CBRL, $CTRN, $DY, $IMBI, $VSAT Earnings After the Close: $A, $CSWC, $DV, $INTU, $JWN, $RAMP, $RRGB, $SKY, $TOL, $URBN, $ZS Other Key Events: Goldman Sachs TechNet Conference Asia Pacific 2021 (virtual), 5/24-5/28 JPMorgan Global technology, Media & Communications Conference (virtual), 5/24-5/26 UBS Global Healthcare Conference (virtual), 5/24-5/26 Jefferies IT Services Summit (virtual), 5/25 Microsoft Build Conference (virtual), 5/25-5/27 New Relic Future Stack Conference (virtual), 5/25-5/27 Truist Securities 22nd Annual Financial Services Conference (virtual), 5/25-5/26 UBS Global Oil & Gas Conference (virtual), 5/25-5/27 Wolfe Research Transport & Industrials Conference (virtual), 5/25-5/27 Macro Up/Down Last Nymex -0.43 65.62 Brent -0.30 68.16 Gold 1.15 1,882.20 EUR/USD 0.0041 1.2257 JPY/USD 0.16 108.91 10-Year Note -0.015 1.593% Sector News Breakdown Consumer Alaska Air ($ALK) sees Q2 total rev % change versus 2019 down about 32%-37%; plan to return to 100% of 2019 capacity by summer of 2022; sees Q2 passenger load factor about 70% to 75%; after summer of 2022 expect to return to growth rates that are similar to pre-pandemic levels America’s Car-Mart ($CRMT) Q4 EPS $6.19 vs. est. $2.80; Q4 revs $279.1M vs. est. $220.6M Azek ($AZEK) files to sell 15M shares of common stock Bally’s Corporation ($BALY) announced that it has entered the mobile sports betting market with the beta launch of its mobile sportsbook, Bally Bet, in Colorado Shake Shack ($SHAK) upgraded to Outperform from Neutral at Wedbush Lordstown Motors ($RIDE) slides 14%; reports Q1 operating loss $106.2M; said timeline to start of production in late-September 2021, which will be at limited capacity, remains on track; Q1 net loss of $125M, capex of $53M and cash of $587M on March 31, 2021; said expected year-end 2021 liquidity of between $50M-$75M in cash and cash equivalents (on March 17th, had said expects to end 2021 with $200M of cash on hand) Energy A quadrupling in the cost of polysilicon has pushed solar module prices up 18% YTD after plunging 90% over the previous decade, a reversal that threatens to delay projects and slow the uptake of solar power ($TAN) just as major governments increasingly support it in an effort to slow climate change, Bloomberg reports.

**Early Look** Monday, May 24, 2021 Futures Up/Down % Last Dow 140.00 0.41% 34,293 S&P 500 20.25 0.49% 4,172 Nasdaq 82.50 0.62% 13,487 Stock futures are looking higher to start the week following a quiet weekend and morning of news. Stocks finished mixed last week as the Nasdaq snapped its four-week losing streak (rising 0.3%), though the S&P fell 0.4% on the week, with the Dow off 0.5%. Major averages closed mixed for the session on Friday in choppy trading in a week that saw the stock market bounce around by a crypto currency selloff and potential Fed taper talk. The 10-year Treasury yield finished the week around 1.63%, about a basis point below where it started, but down after topping 1.69% mid-week as the FOMC minutes showed a few members will looking to discussing reducing asset purchases at upcoming meetings. REITs, Healthcare and Utilities were the leading sector gainers on the week (defensive), while energy biggest laggard down over 2.8%, Industrials, materials and Consumer Disc all down over 1% for the week.

Late Friday, the Biden administration reduced the size of its infrastructure proposal to $1.7T from $2.25T, a counter proposal for Senate Republicans which are still offering about a third of that number (plan to spend $568B over five years). Funding for the package would remain the same – raising the tax rate on wealthy Americans and large companies that can afford a modest increase to pay for middle-class jobs. Phil Mickelson won the PGA Championship this weekend, winning the major at age 50, the oldest in the 161 years of major championship golf. **Sector News Breakdown** **Consumer** Kohl’s ($KSS) shares fell this week after earnings, but Barron’s said the stock looks like a bargain after incredible earnings.

Early Look Friday, May 21, 2021 Futures Up/Down % Last Dow 130.00 0.38% 34,158 S&P 500 13.25 0.32% 4,167 Nasdaq 33.00 0.24% 13,519 U.S. stocks are looking higher to end the week, adding to yesterday’s massive gains that saw major averages snap their 3-day losing streak, led by technology shares as Treasury yields remained subdued and on increased economic optimism after Americans filing for first-time unemployment benefits fell last week to a pandemic low of 444,000. It was another “buy the dip” reaction for major averages as the S&P avoided its longest losing streak since February with yesterday’s advance. Oil prices are looking higher, trying to snap its 3-day losing streak, while gold is little changed after a strong week of gains. Inflation fears still linger for markets as pricing fears remain as the economy improves, keeping gains in check for now. The U.S. Treasury, meanwhile, proposed a minimum global corporate tax rate of 15%, lower than earlier proposals of 21% that received pushback from other countries. Crypto currencies are steady after three days of extreme volatility. Yesterday’s big Nasdaq gains (1.77%) gave it a chance to avoid its fifth straight weekly decline heading into the trading week, which would be its longest in nine years (is up 0.8% heading into today). In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index rose 219 points to 28,317, the Shanghai Index slipped -20 points to 3,486, the Hang Seng Index edged higher 8 points to 28,458.

Energy and Materials were the biggest drags on the market, along with a plunge across the crypto currency space, led by Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the like. Today however, the crypto space is rebounding from overnight weakness with Bitcoin back above the $40K level (after dropping to $30K on Wednesday). The Nasdaq Composite Index is on pace for its worst monthly performance since September 2020, off by more than 5%, as rising inflation fears dent high growth stocks.

TGT good beat in er 

The only thing you I care about a spread is I want 3 to 1 odds. strike x .33. 10 * .33 = 3.33. I was just using TGT as an example. You should probably just wait for the next rec from Chris and see if a spread makes sense.

Example your stock $TGT 212.5/222.5 Jun 25th has premium @3.55...if contract 5 ....mean 1,800 the 50% of stop is $900 but the profitable is $3,225 max profit

ok watching $TGT 210/220 Jun25 @4.00

oh, the Chris rec I did that spread off from was: BUY TO OPEN TGT Rating Schwab A Morn * Next Ex-Date May 18, 2021 APR 30th 212.50 CALL @2.50

thank danbrey > @danbrey said: Here’s one for Carlos on spreads; I took Chris rec: And wrote a Calendar spread: Bought long: TGT 210.00 CALL 6/18 Sold short: TGT 215.00 CALL before x-div 5/18. So, bottom line is I’m up $386 and will write another short after x-div 5/18. So, spreads can work if you use sparingly and strategically.

my TGT spread is up 80% and I'll get another pay day when I sell another option if it stays under $215, otherwise; I'll have to just take the $500 from the strike spread.
