1) MARKET SUMMARY > >From “The Daily” by Jon Johnson at InvestmentHouse.com
Friday saw stocks trade lower wire to wire.
– Friday finds no bids again as Wednesday follow through so far stands by itself.
-PPI at a 6 year high with prices +2.9% year/year.
-Trade worries, declining oil, low capital investment, rising prices are not signals of an economy heading higher.
-SP500, DJ30 in excellent tests, NASDAQ needs work.
-This week we see if potential leaders can step up to support the past week’s follow through session.
Market Summary (continued)
The session started lower and trended lower in a very orderly decline into the afternoon session. There was a lot of ‘what the heck happened?’ commentary given the Wednesday surge and the utter failure to produce any upside Thursday or Friday. Plenty of concern and worry the market was going to give up the entire break higher — it did so on NASDAQ, filling the Wednesday gap and more at the session low.
A spurt of upside started 2 hours out from the close, bouncing the indices nicely off the session lows. Stocks lost some steam in the last 15 minutes or else the recovery would have looked pretty decent versus 1%+ losses.
SP500 -25.82, -0.92%
NASDAQ -123.98, -1.65%
DJ30 -201.92, -0.77%
SP400 -1.03%
RUTX -1.82%
SOX -1.85%
NASDAQ 100 -1.67%
VOLUME: NYSE +13%, NASDAQ -2%. NYSE trade moved up to average; some more selling but not heavy. NASDAQ trade faded as it sold off. Not a massive selloff.
ADVANCE/DECLINE: NYSE -3:1, NASDAQ -2.1:1. Fairly hefty downside breadth.
When all was done for the session the general notion is the rebound was rejected and the selloff continues. Perhaps, but the index patterns, particularly large cap NYSE — even NASDAQ 100 — despite falling, held together. The action was more a test of the Wednesday follow through.

Here’s a trade from “The Daily” and insights into our trading strategy:
Chart by StockCharts.com
WMT (Walmart, Inc.)
Company Profile
After gapping upside on earnings in mid-August, WMT entered into a 2+ month lateral trading range. Tried to break higher mid-October, failed but held the 50 day MA. It continued to consolidate and we put it on the report after it tried higher late October but failed. The next session WMT made the move and we entered with some December $97.50 calls for $4.40. WMT was pretty much bulletproof after that, the only hiccup on Halloween as it sold after breaking higher the day before. It held the 10 day EMA then rallied straight on into Friday. After seven sessions upside straight, we opted to take part of the gain. Sold half the options for $8.80, banking a 100% gain less commissions.
MCD (McDonald’s Corporation)
Company Profile
Old standbys are working best in this market. We entered MCD on 10/29 as it broke higher off a 10 day EMA test. MCD broke higher 10/23, gapping upside and rallying. A 3-day test followed and we put it on the report. When MCD jumped again we entered with some January $175.00 strike call options for $6.95. MCD tested immediately yet again, but it held the 10 day EMA and bounced two Fridays back. It was straight up into the past Friday, gapping to a doji. Six straight upside sessions on low volume the last two of the week. We decided with the gap to the doji it was time to take some gain. We sold half the options for $12.40, banking just over 75%.

2) STOCK SPLIT REPORT Here’s a leader play and our current analysis.
Chart by StockCharts.com
CMG (Chipotle Mexican Grill–$490.76; +12.46; optionable)
Company Profile
EARNINGS: 01/24/2019
STATUS: Friday CMG broke higher for a weeklong consolidation after clearing the 50 day SMA the prior week. CMG touched new highs in August before selling off into late October. It just undercut the late July lows then immediately reversed to start this latest move. CMG has set up something of an inverted head and shoulders as part of a cup base. With that break higher Friday we are ready to enter as CMG continues the move higher. A move to the target lands a 60%ish gain on the options.

3) IH ALERTS
AGN (Allergan–$165.52; -3.78; optionable): Drugs
Company Profile
EARNINGS: 01/29/2019
STATUS: Bear flag. AGN rallied into August and continued into October in a very flat move over the 50 day MA’s. Broke lower in early October, recovered, but then broke again, falling through the 200 day SMA in late October with a strong move. Over the past week it has recovered to the 200 day MA. Thursday it paused, Friday it started back down on rising average trade. Looking to move in as AGN continues lower. A move to the target near the prior lows lands a 55%ish gain.
