New Trade Ideas

Friday   November 20, 2015

 

Yesterdays report was written with anticipation of a move higher in Precious Metals and I pointed out pretty clearly what we are looking for, so I wasn’t planning on doing a Friday report. There was a big drop in NATGAS,  so let me start with that and then I will throw out some trade ideas or possible future trade set ups that I have been watching.

 

NATGAS REVIEW:

Nov 13:  I pointed out that NATGAS needed to break above the 20sma, and it did. 

NATGAS 11-13

Then on Wednesday, I noticed that on a weekly chart,  NATGAS needed improvement Thursday and Friday.

NATGAS 11-18

Thursday NATGAS was shot down below the 50sma.  On a weekly this is not going to look good in my opinion, and cycle wise there is time to drop into the dcl as a left translated daily cycle.   I think NATGAS is in danger of breaking to new lows.  Take a look at the chart od DGAZ after yesterday…it looks ready to go parabolic.

NATGAS 11-19

 

GOLD REVIEW

We put in the anticipated swing low.  This still may have been an ICL,  we need time to see how it plays out going forward.  It was steep, sentiment was bearish , and I pointed out that …

GOLD 11-19

Timing has been roughly every 4 months from  ICL to ICL.  I actually pointed out Mid November in Early Nov.  We get to see the C.O.T. reports tonight and they likely continued to improve.

GOLD 4 month icl

 

GDX – Swing low is in place,  Still oversold. I pointed out the stochastics as a basic way to buy & sell.   Many miners look like good buys at this point, but we keep in mind that Miners can rise and drop quickly. Notice each bottom in the chart below. The Sept 11 “Shake out” lows went higher for 4 or 5 days and then dropped back to the lows. The October rise was what I labelled a 2nd daily cycle.  That was where nice gains were made.

GDX 11-19

Quite a few  of the Miners have bullish set ups and are acting correctly.  I pointed out some set ups in yesterdays report with IAG, EGO, SA, etc .  They all experienced follow through. 

.

  This was SA  –  I had been pointing it out as a Miner that was holding up very nicely with the strong selling in Gold and Silver. I love the strength of this stock.

SA 11-19

 

AG  –  A silver stock that put its lows in LAST WEEK.  Silver was selling off this week, but First Majestic resisted the selling. Even though I am cautious,  this set up alone is bullish.  A break above the 50sma also breaks the wedge and we get a MACD cross. Oversold,  I personally think AG is a buy with a stop below yesterday.

AG

 

For the sake of releasing this report closer to 8:30 a.m. ,  I am going to release it now.  I will also add several more charts over the next hour with trade set ups  ( a Miner and some Tech stocks).  I will NOT be able to send out another email alert for this addition when I am done, so please check back   ( or refresh) in about an hour.  I will also write in the COMMENTS section below when I am finished adding charts. Thanks for being here everyone, and have a great Friday and weekend!

I want to repeat what I have been saying about several Mining companies that I have had on my long term radar, so I will start with Nova Gold.

NG Daily –  Gold was selling off for 2 week straight, but NG was an early leader off the recent lows. It bottomed 2 Mondays ago.

NG 11-19

NG WKLY – This is the real point to be made. When the Bull Market returns, I believe that you want to own NG. This is a LONG SOLID BASE and the lows for NG were in years ago.   Do you see the upside potential , if this is what it does while Gold is crashing to new lows? Yes, with GOLD crashing down for over 3 years,  Nova Gold  bottomed yrs ago.   I have pointed out a few of these in the past, and will do so again in the future.  I believe we are AT or very close to final lows in Gold, Silver, and Miners.  A stock like this can go from $3 to $20 and I owned some that did years ago.

More Trade Ideas

 

CMCM –  This set up is low risk above the 50 sma. You may want to buy after a jump higher, because it is still in sideways mode currently.  If you have been with me for a while, you know that this one can run fast. Last spring it ran from here to $37.

CMCM

I was watching a particular set up in VUZI for a quick trade-  I missed it and It took off with out me ( I was waiting for the Gold set up & wanted to remain focused ).  The point is that I see a very similar set up in DANG.

VUZI – This was the set up that I watched last week, and it took off.

VUZI

DANG – Check out the similarity with a sideways consolidation, but also it has an added inverse H&S.  This is quite a bullish set up,  my favorite one here.  Please remember that any set ups can fail, so use stops.

DANG 11-20

MAT –  Mattel should do good around the holidays

MAT 11-19

 

NK –  Great set up and strong run ( 100%), but the volume is light. Due diligence is needed here,  I do not know this company. This could be bought here at the 50sma with a stop below, or wait for a break out from the triangle.

NK 11-19

 

SSTK – I dont know this company, but it had a strong run higher with volume 3 weeks ago.   When I see that, I do not chase.  I wait for the pullback to see how it sets up. So far its a light volume pullback.  This is on my watch list.

SSTK

 

GO DADDY –  This could form a cup & handle.  It has no overhead sellers if it takes off.

GO DADDY

 

I will use  my final chart GOGO as a lesson in how I often trade bases and stocks moving out of lows or consolidations.

  

  Look at  the 2 stocks above  SSTK and  NK again ,  and you’ll see that they POP and run higher.  I do not chase these because often if you buy a stock that is running away quickly,  suddenly  you get caught in a pull back.  Instead I see the buying interest and put it on my watchlist and see how it acts on the retrace.  A short covering rally will fall apart quickly and return to lows  ( Think of some of the Miners rallies we have seen out of lows).  In a healthy run higher however, you get a slow light volume pull back to support and then a reversal candle for another leg up .  THAT is a good low risk entry, with a stop below.    THAT is also what I am looking for after the initial  run higher in Precious metals out of the lows.

GOGO – I saw that strong gap open in Early November and I thought that this could just run higher.  It went on my watchlist to see how it pulls back. We see an immediate  gap fill to the 50sma and another break higher.  The 2nd pop higher has 1/2 the volume, so I anticipate another pull back. That may set the trend line at the 50sma…this is how I develop trades.  I dont chase,  I stalk them.  This set up is still setting up at this point, but it can break higher at any time.

GOGO

 

 So even if you’re not buying anything above,   why not watch that DANG chart.   It is an excellent set up for a run higher when it is ready to go.  Much like VUZI was.  Any set up can break down with bad news or a downturn in the markets, but I like the looks of DANG right now.

 

Have a great weekend!

          Sure, no problem.

          It’s going to fall next week , into a DCL 🙂

          ( And I hope that wasn’t a dcl just now, but I dont think so because we didnt get a down side trendline break. . A dcl that shallow spells trouble for P.M.’s)

      Contract roll? Were you looking at Dec or Jan WTI contract? I was telling CF that this morning – look at the Dec/Jan contract spread – huge contango in the oil futures market right now. Also compare Brent to WTI this week? Remember how the spread was lowering almost to convergence? Now, it’s started to widen by a bit. I’d keep an eye on it, but looks like WTI could underperform Brent in the near term.

    American Water Works Co (AWK)

    This company was brought to my attention when Casey Research first reco’d
    it three or four months ago. I have not yet taken a position, so
    please, no accusations of pump and dump aimed at me.

    The monthly chart is a sight to behold since 2009.

    With hindsight, an obvious entry point was around $55.50 two weeks ago.
    Right now the daily MACD is on the verge of going positive; the price
    now is ~57.60 with dividend yield over 2%.

    Most of the time AWK has positive correlation to SPX (+39% correlation at
    this time) so if SPX is rolling over, AWK will likely go with it.

    I dislike trading, and prefer to buy something with a time horizon of 3
    to 5 years. I guess the main reason I haven’t jumped into this one
    yet is that I can’t decide where I would place a stop. Perhaps around
    $55 which was the August high and November low. (5% loss from current
    price)

    After writing this, I’ve almost convinced myself to buy a first tranche.
    Looking forward to any thoughts, pro or con.

      Hey Irwin,

      That is a great looking 5 yr chart. I am looking at a weekly chart and daily and both look healthy, with corrections along the way.

      The recent consolidation also looks healthy and for a longer term buy & hold this would be a good candidate. I dont know what your email is ( I dont think its under the name Irwin) , but if you email me ( go to the contact tab and email ALEX) – I will send you some charts. I will include 1 here.

      Its a weekly chart that could consolidate a bit more, but it doesnt have to. I get a 1st price target near $63

      (refresh to see the chart)

      Hey Irwin, not that you asked for it, but a bit of perspective from how I see it on a long term hold – exact entry doesn’t matter. If you are going to hold 3-5 years and it pays a dividend and you see this up 8-12% like it has been, will haggling with an entry of 25-50 cents really matter? I think Alex said it with miners – if they every really, truly recover (feels like they never will, but that’s a different tale) and GDX rallied back to 30 or 40 in a few years, if you got in at 13.65 or 13.85 or 14.20 or even 15.5 would it really matter at that point? No. Same thing I do with my buy and hold retirement portfolio, if I’m within 100 points on my S&P target, it’s good enough. So, if you are sure this is where you want to be I’d go for it. Hope that helps, just wanted to share a point of view with you.
