QQQ Ready To Make An All-time High - Buy Tech Stocks

One Option Trading Blog http://ift.tt/2nP0DQE Posted 9:00 AM ET - Yesterday the market took a little bit of a breather. It rallied 40 points off of Monday’s low so that should be expected. Stocks inched higher and we saw follow-through. The reversal this week indicates that buyers are still engaged. Trump's tax reform is on the front burner and he will get a free pass for another month. Major economic releases will be in focus during the next week. China's PMI will be posted overnight and I'm expecting strong results. This should lift stocks in Asia. Europe's growth has been improving and those PMI's should also …

Look For An Easy Little Tax Cut - Market Will Get A Sugar High

One Option Trading Blog http://ift.tt/2o6MwGS Posted 9:00 AM ET - Yesterday we saw follow-through buying after the reversal on Monday. The S&P 500 was up more than 20 points at one time and it has rallied 40 points since the low Monday. The SPY is above resistance at $235 and that will become a support level we can lean on. As you know from my comments, I felt the failed attempt at repeal and replace was a blessing (for the market). Healthcare is complex and a solution it will require buy-in from both parties. Trump likes to win and now he can focus on lower hanging …

Market Will Bounce - Earnings and Economy In Focus - Tax Reform Has Time

One Option Trading Blog http://ift.tt/2nwFxpp Posted 9:00 AM ET - Yesterday the S&P 500 gapped lower on the open and it was down more than 20 points. The low the day was established in the first 10 minutes of trading and stocks gradually work their way back the entire day. This reversal was bullish and it was a sign that buyers are still engaged. The SPY closed above the 50-day moving average ($233) and we can lean on that support level. Stocks will test the bid early this morning. If the market bounces immediately we can trade from the long side with confidence. Use SPY $233 …

Market Does Not Believe Trump Can Cut Taxes - Buy On Support

One Option Trading Blog http://ift.tt/2n9bUqN Posted 9:00 AM ET - Last Friday Republicans pulled the healthcare bill knowing that they didn't have enough votes in the House. This casts doubt on Trump's ability to execute his game plan and the market doesn't like the news. The S&P 500 is down 20 points before the open and the 50-day moving average will be tested. Tax reform will go to the front burner and skeptics believe that it has just as many roadblocks. I disagree. The Freedom Caucus blocked the healthcare bill. However, their chairman (Meadows) said that tax cuts do not have to be revenue neutral. This …
