AAPL: What Is Money Flow In & Out of a Stock? And Why Should You Care?

Professionals often speak of money flowing in or out of a stock, but how can that be if there is an equal number of buyers and sellers? It is because “Money Flow” comes from the balance of the lot sizes. There are four possible positions in any one stock: Buy Buy to Cover Sell Sell Short Each investor and trader in the stock has their own separate...

CAT: New Technologies Can Push Stocks to New Highs

NYSE:CAT easily moved above the resistance highs from March and out of its sideways trading range, making new highs. The white candle on lower volume was interesting: intraday showed pro traders in control toward the end of the day as retail traders and smaller funds started selling prematurely.

AMZN: How to Make Money in the Stock Market and Keep It

I have always said that making money in the stock market is easy. It is learning how not to lose money that is the hard part of trading.

This is when you...

AMZN: $AMZN: Fast Rebounds Reveal Fundamental Support Level

The new technologies that Amazon is embracing, including robots/robotics, and a brilliant CEO keep this huge company moving forward.

NKE: Dark Pool Buy Zone Stages More Gap Up Potential

NYSE:NKE gapped again with a breakaway gap jumping over resistance. These rarely fill and if the gap fills, it will be minimal. Volume was above average. This kind of gap up sequence can happen easily when a classic Shift of Sentiment pattern forms in Accumulation/Distribution indicators as a stock bottoms. But price remains well below the previous gap down. It...

MSFT: MSFT at Risk for More Downside

NASDAQ:MSFT needs to do a split. It doesn't have buybacks at this time. It is at risk of more downside until it hits prior lows. Support should kick in at the lows of prior rebound areas. The last earnings report was good. Percentage of Shares Held by Institutions ticked up this quarter.

Island Gap Potential, Dark Pool Buy Zone, HFTs
PATH
, 1DLong
PATH: Island Gap Potential, Dark Pool Buy Zone, HFTs

This stock has the potential to form an island gap, which are caused by High Frequency Trading activity that triggers on news. The gap down was too huge, so fundamentals are above the current price.

GM: Fall Rally Patterns Setting Up: GM

NYSE:GM was driven down way below its fundamentals by panicky retail. It is now back up into its fundamental level, well ahead of the Fall Rally.

COHR

COHR: Rapid Accumulation Pattern: COHR

NYSE:COHR rebounded upward from a strong support level due to Rapid Accumulation by Derivative Developers. The company had a good earnings report on August 15th. This is NOT an all-time high.

AAPL: Buyback Watch for Swing Trading

Earnings are over so buybacks are back in the mix. The market is likely to continue to be volatile and choppy until all the ETF investors who want to sell have done so. Then, the uptrend is likely to resume because there are not enough barometers warning of a recession AND we just had one 3 years ago. Buybacks tend to drive price up, so they are a good swing and...
