Bought 5% ACB @ $9.03 Stop @ $8.38 Target @ $10.98 Some big acquisitions in the cannabis sector have gotten the stocks moving up again. ACB has been a favorite of ours to trade and it’s got a nice breakout of the short-term downtrend and has pulled above the 20-DMA now. This sector continues to be a volatile one, so we’ll keep the trade size relatively small and try to give the trade plenty of … read more Trade Alert
Bought 20% SQQQ $9.13 Stop @ $8.84 Target @ $10.49 QQQ has put in a bearish 2B top—a strong signal of a trend reversal. SQQQ is the inverse etf for QQQ (if QQQ goes down SQQQ goes up). A reversal breaking above yesterday’s high in QQQ is the stop. Strong reward-to-risk ratio at this level.
Sold CENX position @ $9.31 Alcoa, another major aluminum company has been battered this week, and with earnings coming up in a few days for CENX, this trade just appears too risky to hold at this level.
Closed two trades: Closed TMF @ $20.24 Closed EDC @ $85.21 The Fed minutes were released yesterday afternoon and there was a quick shift in market sentiment following.

Bought 20% TMF @ $20.65 Stop @ $20.19 Target @ $22.89 TLT presenting us with a nice 9/20 crossover and pullback to the 20-DMA. Now moving back up and above the January high.
Moved OIH stop to $17.79. Yesterday’s breakout failed this morning. It’s possible we see a deeper drop before the oil rally continues.
Bought 10% TNA @ $65.75 Stop @ $61.49 Target @ $79.90 The RUT small-cap is making a nice bull flag breakout, which would indicate the next leg higher should extend near the all-time-highs. TNA is a 3x etf of the RUT index.
Bought 5% CENX @ $9.29 Stop @ $8.39 Target @ $12.89 CENX has been consolidating at this level for 6 months. It’s hard to know for sure when this might turn up and run, but the current setup above the Moving Averages looks strong. We’re going to take a small position here, and give it a wide stop to allow that the timing could be off. Stock has a lot of upside potential.
