Randy, thoughts on JO and coffee? JO broke out of the channel yesterday on my Daily and so far following up with a green candle albeit weak today.

Any opinion on Sprint-S-, seems to have bottomed at a multiyear low, and is breaking out? (speaking of a major stock)

This has been going on for over a YEAR and has nothing to do wit a virus.

It’s a little ridiculous to be running a stock charting site and not be throwing up an occasional chart setup of companies in the S&P or is this asking too much.

I am talking about an “Official trade setup in a large-cap company in the S&P. Randy is a Bear on the major stock indices has been for a while. Not good when you are running a service like this. Nobody can accurately predict when the Bull market will end.

Guy’s I am talking about an “official ” trade set up!
Randy Why don’t you want to trade stocks that are highly correlated to the major stock indices?. Especially since you are the MASTER at spotting tops.(Seriously) As long as the FED keeps pumping in the liquidity there is a good chance we consolidate and or keep going. hell, I’ll even settle for a big fat utility company with a dividend..Have you seen the XLU lately.LOL.
Thanks and keep up the great work I know this is no fun at times. BTW. Small bio’s are too risky for me??

I’m very glad to hear that & thanks for the feedback. Best of luck on your endeavors as a full-time trader!

I’ve been a causal trader for 30 years and have just gone full time. After having been a member of Randy’s site for only 5 months or so, I have learned more in this time than I have in 30 years of trading. Thank you for your detailed analyst of the charts and speaking to us in a normal way so we can understand.

I often repeat the fact that pointing out potentially bearish developments on the market or any particular stock or other security is not the same as being short. I can’t even recall the last time I added an official short trade on any of the stock indexes or even any individual stocks, for that matter. I’ll mention the occasional trade that I might take on the index futures, often short for pullback trades but also with many mentions of closing & reversing those to longs for bounces off support.

Take some time to review all of the trade ideas, official & unofficial, going back many months & note how many short trades, not just potential setups that never triggered because a potentially bearish pattern or other development on a stock or ETF never materialized & hence, never triggered a sell signal. Then compare that to the long trades including the videos highlighting my top-picks for swing trades sectors that were setting up bullish at the time such as the generic & specialty drug stocks, cannabis stocks, energy stocks, various biotechs such as CLVS (+46% gain) & PBYI (+36%) mentioned in my previous reply to you along with several other official trades all hitting price targets for gains fo 30% or more this year.

I also say this often as well: I find it much easier to make money in the stock market by not trading the stock market, rather trading the best-looking individual stocks, sectors, commodities & things other than the broad-market (S&P500) which contains a mix of 500 different companies in different sectors, many of which are bearish/in downtrends and many of which are bullish/uptrends at any given time. I post the analysis on the broad-market with levels to watch and/or trade-off of, if one is so inclined. You call whether to trade the indexes & if so, how to trade them. Chasing a market or stock at all-time highs without any resistance levels or other guides to target just isn’t my kind of setup. I’ll trade pullbacks & an uptrend or rallies in a downtrend all day long as there are support/resistance levels to target as well as trendlines & other levels & chart patterns in which to trigger objective entries & set objective stops above/below.

The stock market (S&P 500) is up a whopping 3% YTD. Please compare that return to all the official trade ideas, both still active as well as closed out this year, including those stopped out for a loss. You really don’t need a calculator to make the comparison as it isn’t even close.

Decades of education (both formally & informally/self-taught), trading & investing experience, and a lot more go into my analysis on a stock. Not really anything that one can put down in a few words or even a long-video. However, that’s basically what I do on this site via the commentary, trade ideas, videos & analysis that I share although it pretty much comes in pieces (various tips, explanations of my methodology & thought process on a trade or analysis of a chart, etc..)

TWTR just gapped up to my 37.59 resistance level which you can see on the daily chart from the last time I covered the stock over 7 months ago (this link will start with coverage of TWTR: https://youtu.be/BAA_TQJrYBY?t=1100 )

Other than yesterday’s gap up into resistance, which has so far stopped the advance cold in its tracks, there haven’t been any significant developments on TWTR nor to my read on the chart, which is pretty much the same as back then: The stock has been going nowhere for over 2 years & a big & sloppy sideways trading range. Better fish to fry elsewhere IMO although I could make a decent case to short the stock here at resistance with a stop just above yesterday’s high (although I personally don’t care to short it).

Y.W. I’ll make a point to continue to post any significant developments on /KC and/or JO. Best of luck on the trade.

While my preference so far this year has been trading stocks that are not components or highly-correlated with the major stock indexes such as BYND (final target hit for 34% gain Jan 13), CWH (2nd target hit for a 62% gain Jan 14), PBYI (1st target hit for a 36% gain Feb 5), GBTC (Final target hit for a 37% gain yesterday), over the years I have posted dozens of trade ideas, both official & unofficial, on components of the S&P 500, $NDX, etc.., in recent years stocks such as DRI, BA, HSY, ULTA, KHC, several regional & mega-banks, TSCO, T, TWTR, and many more. I’m sure there are plenty of services out there trying to capture a 5-10% move on many of the blue-chip $SPX components & maybe it’s just me, but I’m partial to those 30-60% gainers that were set up in the type of chart patterns that mesh with my trading style.

The analysis & trade ideas on those $SPX components and many others can be found by clicking on Resources at the top menu of the site & then use the “Select Ticker” drop-down towards the bottom of the page. That will show all coverage of a particular security posted on the home page while the search function (in the top menu) will return hits for both the home page as well as the trading room plus the comments below the home page posts.

You guys have selective hearing. Randy consistently gives buy the dip recommendations for market bulls with entry and price targets.

This has been going on for well over a year now Randy has obviously been bearish on the market and remember him saying after the DEC crash (when he ran it up into Feb and sold out long)that “He didn’t care if the stock market went to the moon” he was not looking to put on a long position in SPY and so far has kept his word. and in that time has missed out on a 30+ percent move in the S&P since that DEC 24’th crash in an up-trending market pretty much everyday since October. This is just Crazy!.. Honestly I just offering up some constructive criticism and with all due respect!

Lots of reasons to steer clear of major indices. All time highs in the face of a viral outbreak that’s obviously going to impact global earnings. Too early to predict. I’m not seeing buy or sell signals either. Just because the markets are moving doesn’t mean we should be piling on long positions nor are there any signals for shorting. Most of the daily videos have support/resistance levels and price channels. You can trade off of them if you like.

Especially off earnings

would you talk about how do you analyst a stock? the thought process, and screening tools etc.
TWTR has spiked, if we were to look at this stock at the end of Feb 6, 2020, what are your thoughts for short to mid term opportunities?
