Trade of the Day: MSG Networks Inc. (MSGN)

By Ken Trester

While there have been some exceptions in the past, I think the end of October is a good time to buy stocks. This is usually when the market hits its lows for the year before making a rally into year-end. I think that will be the case this time as well, but it’s hard to say how big of a rally we might get. If MSGN follows the market, it should close well above our strike price at the Nov. 16th expiration.

Today, I am recommending a bearish trade on the Applied Optoelectronics, Inc. (NYSE:AAOI), a company that designs, manufactures and sells various fiber-optic networking products. While the major indices made recovered some of last week’s losses on Friday, there is still a chance that stocks could take another leg to the downside before they are able to stabilize.

Trade of the Day: SPDR Gold Shares (GLD)

By Ken Trester

Today I am recommending a bullish trade on the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE:GLD), an ETF that tracks the price of gold.The market is definitely in a corrective mode right now and, while this week’s pullback is not as severe as the one we saw at the start of the year, there is a chance that stocks could take another leg to the downside before they are able to stabilize. I mentioned previously that the Fed’s interest rate increases are eventually going to cause deleveraging in the marketplace, and the action this week seems to bear that out.
