Continuing with a theme that emerged for us this week, we're taking recent volatility climbs as a gift to help us get through a typically slow summer trading period. Weeks like this one -- just ahead of a holiday week -- are the...
I feel like the recent minor skirmishes in U.S. stocks over the past week have been a nice little gift for premium sellers heading into what is a traditionally the slowest period of the calendar year. With the Independence Day holiday on the horizon,...
Last week, Tom Bruni penned a post titled Global ETF Carnage Continues, highlighting how ETFs representing stock markets around the world have been getting hurt by US...
If you're like me, you think ATM charges are a crime. And one of the worst offenders is Chase, part of JP Morgan's umbrella. It's time we make them pay us back for all the ATM fees they've stolen from us for the privilege of having access to...
AMD has had a tremendous run off this April's lows, where it bottomed out around $9.00. Today, it's trading north of $16. That's a greater than 75% move in about 11 weeks. Wow.
But we have some very important technical and supply-and-demand...
Google is making a run at a big fat round number - 1200 -- which would also be a new all-time high, and time is of the essence to get aboard what could be a rocket ship ride much, much higher. We don't have much time to waste so I'll just cut right to...
Sector rotation has been a hot topic as this bull market keeps finding fresh legs to pull us higher. As we scan the entire marketplace looking for clues as to the next sector to wake up, we've identified the Home Builders as a viable option with some...
Americans love their burgers. And customers around the world love American iconic brands. These two forces are unlikely to change in the near future, and thus sales at McDonald's restaurants around the world should continue to be strong. Of course, I...
Rotation is the big word that's got us stock market bulls excited around here. It seems every couple of weeks there's a new sector that takes the baton to lead the broader indices higher. And just when one sector looks like it might...
It happens far too often: a game-changing company comes on the scene, has a massive run in its share price, makes a ton of people a ton of money, and becomes a media darling with constant, breathless stories about this exciting new widget maker....
The Technology sector ETF $XLK in recent months has overtaken its previous highs set in the year 2000. For anyone that was trading during that time, you know that breaking these levels is a big deal. Do you think 18 years of reclaiming former highs is...
Technology stocks continue to lead the broader markets higher, and that still keeps us at All Star Charts bullish on stocks. How can you not be when technology has such an important weight on the indexes?
Options are a leveraged instrument, and if you're not careful, it's easy to find yourself exposed to more risk than what you're comfortable with. A subscriber to All Star Options...
I was confused too. But no, $DQ is not America's favorite destination for shakes, malts, and blizzards. But it is sexy in it's own way -- it's an energy company named Daqo New Energy in one of the hottest sectors we think will be leading stocks higher...
It might sound like we're beating a dead horse here, but the Russell 2000 printed another new all-time high yesterday (I know, it ended up being a red day, but that volume tho...) and there's just no way I can view this with any bearish...
Everybody loves a deal. And that couldn't be more obvious after looking at a monthly chart of Costco $COST going back to the financial crisis that bottomed out in 2009. Shoppers clearly have been filling Costco...
One of the great things I've experienced while getting All Star Options off the ground with JC has been putting pen to paper to really codify for myself how I view options trading. It's one thing to have a nebulous sort of idea of how I approach...
...then you simply have to get long The Granddaddy Oracle $ORCL here.
It appears Oracle has successfully digested the hit the stock took after it's most recent earnings report, and the stock is hanging just above the highs it set back in the...
