24/7 Trade of the Day

Trade of the Day: American Express (AXP)

With the Fed on deck to make an announcement today and December options expiring Friday, this could be one o the more volatile weeks.

Trade of the Day: FXCM Inc. (FXCM)

I like that the bulk of FXCM's business is now institutional in orientation.

Trade of the Day: Agilent Technologies (A)

Agilent Technologies (A) dropped 2.2% on Friday. According to the Profit Scanner powered by Recognia, this move represents the start of a new downtrend.

Trade of the Day: Home Depot (HD)

While potential trouble has become more evident, momentum in the major stock indexes continues to lean to the bullish side, and options traders should evenly weight bullish and bearish positions. Today’s trade is on the bullish side of that equation.

Trade of the Day: PowerShares QQQ (QQQ)

Support on the Nasdaq at 4,675-4,650 was tested once again following the trip to 4,679.

Trade of the Day: PowerShares DB U.S. Dollar Bullish ETF (UUP)

The value of the USD has been getting stronger and stronger as the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has wound down its QE program.

Trade of the Day: Rockwell Collins (COL)

The Pentagon contractors and aerospace manufacturers are among the best groups in the market now, so today I’m recommending COL, a major defense contractor specializing in avionics for jet aircraft.

Trade of the Day: Pandora Media (P)

Shares of Pandora Media (P) are down about 5% in the last couple of days after suffering some insider selling on Thursday.

Trade of the Day: H&R Block (HRB) and Murphy Oil (MUR)

I've got a two-for trade for you today featuring one call option to take advantage of the stock's bullish trend and one put option.

Trade of the Day: JDS Uniphase (JDSU)

While I also like more aggressive, shorter-term options for JDSU, the more conservative play is to look to the March series for added time.

Trade of the Day: Herbalife (HLF)

Restatements, downgrades or warnings from Herbalife in the near term are not unlikely.

Trade of the Day: Acxiom Corp. (ACXM)

I expect investors to come in and take advantage of Monday’s sell-off quite soon, and recommend that you retain a positive posture toward equities.

Trade of the Day: CBS Corp. (CBS)

Don't neglect bearish positions, as the current overbought state of the major stock indexes could lead to a sudden and sharp pullback in the next couple of weeks. Today’s recommendation is for one such put trade.

Trade of the Day: MasterCard (MA)

After consolidating for a few weeks, MasterCard has finally started to break out again

Trade of the Day: Amkor Technology (AMKR)

AMKR is a cheap stock in a thriving industry. When it gets rolling, it's unstoppable for days and weeks at a time.

Trade of the Day: Manitowoc Company (MTW)

Despite lackluster Q3 earnings, this industrial equipment company did especially well in the last few sessions after two new analyst ratings. The Profit Scanner expects a 27%–33% move higher from the Friday close.

Trade of the Day: Take-Two Interactive Software (TTWO)

Although we are in a favorable time of the year for stocks, a quick stock pullback cannot be ruled out.

Trade of the Day: First Bancorp (FBP)

FBP's most recent earnings demonstrate that this regional bank is more than holding its own in what would otherwise be a grim interest-rate environment and lackluster local lending market.

Trade of the Day: 1 800 Flowers (FLWS)

The growth of internet and mobile shopping has been good for FLWS
