Todd Akin’s trading plans for the day.
For all of you native Houstonians out there, here is a play that hits close to home- literally. We are placing Cameron International on our strong buy list for the portfolio. In order to manage the portfolio effectively, we will be staying with 10 names and, as a result, we will have to swap a…
Good afternoon folks! The S&P 500 is finding support on the 75 day moving average (orange line) and is now digesting a slew of companies’ earnings released for the latest quarter. Truthfully, earnings have been solid with almost 60% beating- pretty much in-line with historical standards. So why aren’t we coming back faster? Beats me. Apparently, companies’ estimates are…
We have made changes to the portfolio to take advantage of long-term opportunities. We added Caterpillar (CAT) to bolster our industrial/ agriculture exposure. We also liked Cat’s recent earnings call as it was tepid on global growth, but the company is discounted enough here, in our opinion. The overall market (S&P 500) is below. How…
Wow, glad I sold that one. We stopped out of Monster Energy (MNST) last Friday when the stock broke the 50 day moving average. Thank God we did. Today reports came out saying that the extremely strong energy drink killed a 14 year- old child. (Stock is down 15% currently). The market is also paring its…
We have already stated that we are neutral to short term bearish on this market for several reasons besides earnings season being in full swing: The dollar looks weak. It is at yearly support but is looking weak relative to the Euro, which is appreciating against the dollar due to the improving conditions from their…
We already added a new name to the portfolio (mnst) this morning as we see positive signs of the overall market indexes improving. The S&P 500 is following through from the bounce off the 50 day 4 days ago. However, even though this is a positive development for the S&P 500, we are at the…
The S&P 500 is now trying to find traction on the 50 day moving average (green line). We are unsure if this is the beginning of the top or simply a buying opportunity at the 50. But, it doesn’t really matter does it. If stocks go higher from here, great. But if not, we have…
Cut our losses yesterday morning on the S&P 500 calls. We were wrong in anticipating the bounce off of the 20 day moving average (orange line). Good thing we only risked a small amount of money by using options instead of stock. Anyway, the S&P looks like it has breached the 20 and formed a…
Buying 10 calls on the S&P 500 approaching the 20. We are expecting a bounce off of these levels tomorrow. If we don’t get it, then the markets could be in for a few more weeks of churning and consolidation. We have already added more to our core holdings-ready to participate in this bull market….
Life Partners Insurance received a favorable court ruling recently and shares popped more than 100%. Great, missed that move. But, it just pulled back to $2 from $4, making this a nice entry point if you believe in the company and feel insurance companies will benefit from a new president in office. You be the…
