September 4, 2017

Need some trading ideas to get the week started? We’ve got you covered! This is our weekly issues September 5 — September 8 where we go over macro economics, economic calendar, upcoming earnings and list a few trade ideas. This is a short trading week due to Labor Day so Volume may be lower.

Market

The market was very bullish last week as many tickers rocketed to six month resistances or new 52 week highs. September is generally a down month if you rely on the main media articles.

Favorite ETFs

$SPY — The $248 resistance held last week so we’ll see trend indication this week.

$GLD — This gold ETF saw quite a bit of volatility. The $123 resistance was defeated however so the uptrend may continue.

$USO — The downtrend pattern remained intact last week and is expected to continue.

$IBB — This biotechnology ETF broke the 6-month resistance and made a 52-week high.

$EEM — Emerging market stocks have been on a nice uptrend in 2017. The uptrend looks to continue this week.

Economic Calendar

Earnings Calendar

I’ve scrapped together six trading suggestions for pre-ER targets as this earnings season fades.
