Yesterday was a somewhat lackluster day with a few movers. SHLD was a nice play on the put side at the open, and HLF ramped higher during the day on the calls side. Alcoa kicked off the official start to earning season by posting a profit and decent numbers. Futures are green and looks like we have a nice day today.

Seems like quite a bit of activity this morning on the analyst side with tons of new initiations and upgrades to include my favorite SODA. Seems analysts starting to take that stock serious. All the banks are higher once again this morning with BAC also announcing a settlement with Fannie Mae: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/b-of-a-selltes-with-fannie-for-about-10-billion-2013-01-07 .

What an amazingly strong trading session yesterday, as the market gapped at the open, faded a bit then ramped hard into the close to finish at the high of the day.

Like I said Monday, all is well for 2013! The Fiscal Bluff has been averted and the markets are not tanking as most pundits predicted/warned. What a joke the market is. All the big money was away Friday, as retail sold the markets off at the end of the day and in the afterhours on low volume. Then Monday the big money comes back and the market ramps higher… Read More

Days like yesterday can make some folks worry, but if you look at the SPY chart, it looks like a healthy pullback. I still like us higher before the years out, and will keep… Read More

The market is never going to go straight up, although it felt that way from the start of 2012 until late march. Folks are continuing to look for catalysts to get some type of correction.
Earnings plays can be very rewarding for those who are on the right side of the trade via options. Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN) catapulted 10%+ on their earnings report the last two weeks, while Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) fell 50% on theirs. Which will be the one to bring option players the 1000%+ gain in the coming week? Here are a few we have on radar for next… Read More
