AH Futures UP

AH Asian Markets Mixed

AH Oil & Gold UP

About market, TAPE was up almost 200 DOW points but by close was down 200 DOW points, today's economic news was mixed bad jobs data but optimism over opening of business activity in many states. In the end mini overbought conditions got adjusted by closing near low of the day, that is the market we got 2 UP days then 1 down day.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

  3. Hi Saleem,

    Good luck with Apache- APA!!

    Any comments on MGM? WYNN is getting good recommendations too.
    Also, insights on Home Builder stocks will be great. HD and LOW may post good numbers as working from home triggered Home improvement projects.

    Hi Stocktrader,

    EAT secondary was a surprise. My stock sold off due to stoploss trigger. I do plan to re-enter EAT based upon the price action today.

    Bought CLVS@8.11
    Sold OPK
    LVGO is through the roof!!

    Thanks

  4. Hi Paramjeet,

    MGM was bought because price reflects all the issues casino industry is facing....

    Thus it was a speculative buy!

    Home builders stock price has moved up from bargain levels.....

  10. Hi Paramjeet,

    I think casinos will have some level of permanent impairment from the social distancing requirements and higher unemployment. They might be good for a re-opening bump here, but longer term questions remain. I think they also have plenty of debt? not sure. WYNN looks like the better of the two should you choose one. Also, DKNG with its "all online" setup looks interesting, although I think half the lure of gambling is a social experience (at least for casual players).

    The housing market stocks still highly worry me as I think investors are underestimating the psychological impact from this crisis to delay large purchases, especially as the election looms also. I will say though that we just listed our house for sale this week and the appetite for showings is voracious. Despite this fact, I still think this situation is a residual desire from pre-crisis thoughts. As far as HD/LOW, they always seem like good "home improvement" plays, but have a significant portion of commercial business too, so it's not so easy.

    Good luck with future decision and recent moves!

  13. Hi Stocktrader,

    I had SEDG on my buy list as of 2 days ago but wanted to see their earnings...which missed badly...thus your opportunity to buy in.....

    Good luck !

  16. Hi guys,

    Looks like I picked the wrong one - should have stayed in CWH vs ELY.

    I guess camping is beating out golfing.
