Trade of the Day: Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (LPX)

By Ken Trester
Today I am recommending a bearish trade on the Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (NYSE:LPX), the North American manufacturer of building materials and products. The large-cap industrial stocks of the Dow Jones had been leading the charge last week, partially due to the new trade agreement between the United States, Mexico and Canada, though the index did fall slightly. I’m also still concerned about the trade situation with China, as that country is mostly likely not going to concede to the U.S., at least not anytime in the near future.

Trade of the Day: Mosaic Company (MOS)

By Ken Trester
Today, I’m recommending a bullish trade on The Mosaic Company (NYSE:MOS), which produces concentrated phosphate and potash crop nutrients. My indicators are still giving sell signals for the fifth week in a row, which is quite unusual and not a good sign for the bulls. The reason behind those sell signals is that we are in what I would call a split market. Looking at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the ratio of declining issues to advancing issues was 3:1, meaning that for every three stocks moving lower, there was only one stock moving higher.
