Stocks saw some volatility on Monday when the Nasdaq broke better than 1% but we do have some areas of support to consider. If these levels don’t hold, consider a flush into the FOMC meeting, but let’s take it a step at a time…
These two ETFs are suggesting a big move is getting ready to take shape. I make a few assumptions in this analysis, but if they end up being right, this will be the stock to own.

It ain’t a sexy topic to most, but it is to any trader who wants a career that spans decades. Experience has taught me that it’s “those” days where the levels don’t hold, the bounces don’t come, and the patterns get ignored that we need to know how and when to cut a trade loose. Also, I share my favorite site for tracking earnings, and what I see in Apple and the index futures.
Facebook, Google, and Amazon all reported earnings this week, with completely different results. Danielle discusses how they impacted the market, and what to look for next week. The market is extended to the upside, and as such, she outlines some pullback zones. She also discusses possible trades to watch in the coming week.
Henry and Danielle discuss a short play in both XLF and JPM. While bank stocks were strong today, they are headed directly into resistance and they have reason to think they will fail from these levels. Check out the video for a couple ideas on how to trade it.
