Major Alert: Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Flashes Its First Major Sell Signal In 16 Months

Posted on by The INO.com Team

In the first 30 minutes of trading today, Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) triggered a red monthly Trade Triangle indicating a major trend change in this stock. This could be partly due to Amazon's announcement yesterday that it planned on opening 400 brick and mortar bookstores. So after putting almost every bookseller out of business, Amazon is now going into the brick and mortar business. Could that be a big mistake for Amazon?

Daily Chart of Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)

Technically speaking, Amazon could quite easily fall back to the $441.95 level which represents a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement. That is $100 lower than the current price. Personally, I love Amazon, I shop there all the time, but right now I do not like the stock of Amazon. I think that Amazon is setting up to go lower based on the Trade Triangle technology. If my analysis of Amazon is correct, it does not auger well for the rest of the market or the economy.

How To Trade Apple's Earnings Today

Posted on by The INO.com Team

After the close of business today Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) will report its fourth quarter earnings. I thought it would be interesting to go back and look at the last three years to see how you would have done if you just used this simple trade strategy.

The premise is simple, when both the weekly and monthly Trade Triangles are in sync, i.e. when they are both in the same direction, you would take a position on the close in the direction the Trade Triangles were indicating. You would then exit this position the following day on the close.

So here's what is needed to make a trade in Apple before today's earnings report is released. The position is taken the day Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) releases its earnings report, i.e. today.

(1) Both the weekly and monthly Trade Triangles are in sync.

(2) Take a position on the close in the direction the Trade Triangles are indicating.

(3) Exit the position the following day on the close.

These are simple, straightforward instructions. As an old mentor of mine used to say, "They don't pay you any more for making it complicated."

So how has this worked in the past? Continue reading "How To Trade Apple's Earnings Today" →

Exactly 1 Year Ago Today, GoPro Gave A Sell Signal At $46.50

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello everyone! GoPro, Inc. (NASDAQ:GPRO) had a sell signal exactly a year ago today indicating that this stock was in trouble and headed lower. That signal came in at $46.50 on a monthly Trade Triangle. GoPro is currently trading below $12 a share.

Two of the major indices are now officially in bear markets based on the Trade Triangle technology. I have talked about the power of the Trade Triangles and how they can give off early warning signals of impending changes in the market. For example, if you look back last December, members received an early warning signal that all was not well in the S&P 500. That signal came in the form of a weekly Trade Triangle on December 11th at 2,019.39. As I write this commentary, the S&P 500 is currently trading at 1,880! The same warning signals occurred in both the Dow and the NASDAQ. These warning signals occur in stocks as well, take a look at Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Best Buy Co. Inc (NYSE:BBY), Under Armour Inc. (NYSE:UA) and a host of other stocks that were once thought to be invincible.

If you have been reading this blog for any length of time you've heard me make the statement, "they slide faster than they glide". That means that markets tend to go down much faster than they go up. Some market pundits blame it on gravity, I just say that perception may be the real culprit here. Right now confidence in the market is low and perception is high that there is more trouble ahead.

Here's One Good Bet For 2016 And It Could Help Keep You Healthy

Posted on by The INO.com Team

This little stock popped up on my radar yesterday with the help of the Trade Triangle technology. Whole Foods Market, Inc. (NASDAQ:WFM) is one of my favorite stores and I shop there every week.

Whole Foods has been in a sustained downtrend for the last nine months, but it appears as though the downtrend is over and Whole Foods is set for some healthy gains in 2016. I think it has the potential to double your money in 2016. Given the upside potential for Whole Foods, I feel that the risk factor is not that big.

As you well know, there are no guarantees in investing and risk is a factor, but in this case, the risk-reward ratio is in your favor.

I will be taking an in-depth look at Whole Foods Market, Inc. (NASDAQ:WFM) today along with the other key markets to see how these markets have fared in 2015, which is rapidly coming to a close. Continue reading "Here's One Good Bet For 2016 And It Could Help Keep You Healthy" →

The Markets Could Get Ugly This Month

Posted on by The INO.com Team

As the first week of trading in December comes to an end, the markets have proven to be what I warned everyone about - volatile and dangerous. The last two days for the major market indices have not been pretty and certainly have done some internal technical damage that I will discuss today.

One thing worth remembering, this is the sixth year of a bull market. In bull market terms, that's an old bull that may be running out of steam.

2015 has been a difficult year for many hedge fund managers as there simply has not been a lot of movement in the overall indices. Based on yesterday's close, the Dow is down 1.94% on the year, the S&P 500 is down 0.45% and the NASDAQ is up 6.37%. This is a very mixed picture and I would not be surprised to see more pressure on these markets in December. I think a lot of money managers may just square up their trading books and wait to look at the markets in 2016. Continue reading "The Markets Could Get Ugly This Month" →
