24/7 Trade of the Day

Trade of the Day: Keurig Green Mountain (GMCR)

GMCR has proven it will not be able to grow its branded coffee sales as quickly as many analysts had expected.

Trade of the Day: Diamond Foods (DMND)

I like Diamond Foods as a speculative takeover target, as the company has a great, healthy snack portfolio.

Trade of the Day: Cigna (CI)

Health care stocks were the only group to mostly survive Monday's slump. Today’s recommendation is for a trade in that very sector.

Trade of the Day: Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF)

The clothing retailer has been steadily climbing higher and looks to be making a move back toward its February highs.

Trade of the Day: International Business Machines (IBM)

IBM is a good value, and investors are warming to the story again,

Trade of the Day: Valero Energy (VLO)

Valero is on the verge of completing a textbook “head-and-shoulders” bearish reversal pattern.

Trade of the Day: Wells Fargo (WFC)

The financial stocks are holding up well, and there are a few names I like in the sector. Let’s go with WFC because it tends to make larger price moves.

Trade of the Day: iShares Russell 2000 (IWM)

It's difficult to determine how to trade options successfully due to the fact that current prices reflect and discount both recent conditions and future expectations. That’s where the CounterPoint Options system comes in. Here is one of its current trades, a bullish play on the IWM.

Trade of the Day: Apache (APA)

I am generally returning to a bullish stance on oil and related stocks -- and today’s trade is firmly in that camp.

Trade of the Day: Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (KKD)

Revenue is the better driver of a stock price, and I have a feeling that Krispy Kreme's current quarter won't match expectations.

Trade of the Day: Amgen (AMGN)

Amgen has had a roller-coaster week since reporting better-than-expected earnings on April 21.

Trade of the Day: Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE)

The dollar was mostly lower on Monday, precious metals were the upside stars of the session and crude oil took a break by finishing flat.

Trade of the Day: TiVo (TIVO)

A takeover of TiVo is pure speculation on my part, of course, but it has become more valid with the Arris Group/Pace marriage. As far as its suitors, Apple Inc. (AAPL) makes the most sense.

Trade of the Day: Banco Santander (SAN)

Right now Banco Santander looks close to oversold with its relative strength index (RSI) below 40.

Trade of the Day: Qihoo 360 Technology (QIHU)

We picked Qihoo 360 because its technical picture suggests a downturn.

Trade of the Day: iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM)

With the emerging markets becoming more volatile, this makes them an excellent candidate for opportunistic, systematic trading.

Trade of the Day: AOL (AOL)

AOL has been in a downtrend for most of this year but recently found support in the $38 area. That makes it a strong candidate for one of my preferred option strategies.

Trade of the Day: Xilinx (XLNX)

The major stock indexes are continuing to give bullish readings, so options traders should continue to favor call buying.

Trade of the Day: Harley Davidson (HOG)

Harley Davidson is in a downward-trending channel.
