This Leading Retail Stock Will Soon Be In Play One of the leading retail stocks that is starting to look attractive is The TJX Companies, Inc.(NYSE:TJX). This retail company operates stores under the T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Winners, HomeSense, T.K. Maxx, and Sierra Trading Post names. The company also has an online presence with e-commerce sites such as tjmaxx.com, tkmaxx.com, and sierratradingpost.com. The stock topped out on the daily chart on May 10, 2017 at $80.92 a share. Since that pivot top the stock has declined sharply lower. Today, TJX stock price is trading at $67.64 a share. Traders should now watch for the $62.70 level as the next major support area. This is a mathematical support level that should provide a significant bounce in the stock when tested. Keep this trade level on the radar as we wait for this leading retail stock to drop into my buy level. Please note, the company is expected to report earnings on August 15, 2017.

HCA Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE:HCA) Needs A Doctor After Earnings Today, leading hospital owner and operator HCA Healthcare, Inc.(NYSE:HCA) is coming under heavy selling pressure after reporting earnings. HCA stock is trading lower by $3.40 to $82.54 a share in today's session. The stock is still holding above its daily chart 200-day moving average which is at $81.47. Should the stock close below this key level on a weekly chart it would signal that another bearish move is coming. HCA stock does have major chart support around the $77.50 area should it decline further from here. This should be a level that will be defended by the institutional traders and investors, so keep it on the radar. Nicholas Santiago InTheMoneyStocks
This Is Where I Will Buy 3M Co (NYSE:MMM) For A Bounce... 3M Co (NYSE:MMM) is taking a beating after releasing its quarterly earnings. The stock is down over 5% and things are not looking good. Based on chart breaks, I expect a general trend lower to continue until $191.50 is tagged. That will be major gap fill support and the daily 200 moving average should be there as well. This gives huge support and a likely bounce in the stock. This is where I and smart investors will consider buying. 2 Gareth Soloway InTheMoneyStocks
The Chart Trend In The Airline Sector Is Down, Where Will It Land? Most of the major airlines stocks have topped out recently. Leading airline stocks such as United Continental Holdings Inc(NYSE:UAL), American Airlines Group Inc(NASDAQ:AAL), Delta Air Lines, Inc.(NYSEAL), Southwest Airlines Co(NYSE:LUV) and Alaska Air Group, Inc.(NYSE:ALK) have now made lower highs on the daily chart and are trading below their important 50-day moving average. This puts the daily trend of these stocks in a down position. Often when stock decline in this fashion it is a sign of a bigger correction on the horizon for the sector. Earlier this year, Alaska Air Group, Inc.(NYSE:ALK) was the leading stock in the industry group, but now it is the laggard. Today, the company reported earnings and it is declining lower by nearly 4.0 percent on the session. The stock is now trading below its 50-week moving average which is very negative. Traders and investors must now watch the $78.00 area the next major support level. This is a major retrace level for the stock and it should be defended by the institutional money when retested.

Amazon (AMZN) Confirming Top: Here Is The Targets You Need To Know... Amazon, Inc.(NASDAQ:AMZN) reported a nasty quarterly miss. Considering their upcoming acquisition of Whole Foods (WFM) and the money that will take, they are not in a good place. The stock sold off only 2.8% on Friday after earnings. However, Amazon is selling another 2.5% today. The second solid sell day off all-time highs confirms a top. This means that Amazon will head lower with only small bounces along the way. The first downside target is $945.00 and the second target is $885.00. The first target on Amazon will have a small bounce once hit, the second target will likely have a large bounce. I personally think Amazon could see the first and second targets hit within weeks. Gareth Soloway InTheMoneyStocks
Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) reports earnings after the close of trading today. Investors and analysts have no idea what to expect. Based purely on the chart, there is a looming head and shoulder pattern. Head and shoulder patterns are very bearish. While it has not triggered, this tells me that whether on earnings or a month later, Tesla Inc is going sharply lower. Please understand, because the head and shoulder pattern has not triggered, earnings are a question mark. However, the bigger pattern signals a trigger in the future. Be ready, it should be a fun trade when it triggers.
Finding The Institutional Buy Level For This Stock Cooper Tire & Rubber Company (NYSE:CTB) is a leading tire manufacturer that has been steadily trading lower on the charts over the past few months. The stock peaked out at $44.50 a share on April 3rd, 2017, today CTB stock is trading at $34.97. Traders should note that the stock hit its 200-week moving average today and this should serve as short term chart support. Please understand, a close below the $34.00 level on a weekly basis could trigger a further decline. The institutional buy level for CTB stock will be around the $30.50 level. This is a chart area where the stock was defended in June 2016. This price level will usually be defended again by the institutional crowd when it is retested. Nicholas Santiago InTheMoneyStocks
Earnings Season: Know When To Hold Em, Know When To Fold Em It's earnings season! This is when corporations will report their quarterly results and usually issue future guidance for the company. This is also a period when stocks will often have big price swings after the earning announcement. For many traders and investors it can be an exciting time to trade, but danger lurks when market participants hold stocks into an earnings announcement. Just yesterday, I closed out a long trade in Dean Foods Co (NYSE: DF) at $14.99 a share. The reason I exited the position was because the company was scheduled to report earnings this morning before the opening bell. Unfortunately for me I lost 0.11 cents on the Dean Foods trade as my entry was $15.10. I know, nobody likes to take losses on trades, but sometimes that is the best move to make ahead of an earnings announcement. If you take a look at the reaction today in Dean Foods Co today after earnings it is not pretty. In fact, DF stock is trading lower by $2.80 to $12.17 a share today after reporting earnings. Believe it or not, this is a decline of nearly 19.0 percent on the day. Now my 0.11 cent loss looks like a victory after this terrible reaction to the Dean Foods Co earnings report. Now to be fair, sometimes stocks can rocket higher after earnings reports. Many traders will often celebrate with excitement if they hold a stock and are on the right side of the earnings reaction. Just think how I would feel if Dean Foods Co was trading higher by $3.00 after I sold it yesterday, probably not very good. After trading for so many years I have realized that trading earnings is very much like gambling, the odds are simply not in my favor to make that bet. So I have accepted the fact that holding stocks into earnings is extremely risky and simply not my style of trading. If you do decide to hold a stock into an earnings announcement it is best to hold a low beta stock. A low beta stock is an equity that is less volatile, will historically move in a smaller and tighter range. Earlier this earnings season I held Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) into earnings. The stock traded down about 0.30 cents before ultimately recovering and making new highs. BAC stock is a low beta equity and I was actually in the money on the trade before earnings, so there was not a lot of risk of a major decline. Either way, holding stocks into earnings is extremely risky, every trader and investor should understand the odds are no longer in your favor ahead of a corporate earnings report.

The S&P Signal Every Investors Should Be Aware Of... The S&P raised the white flag on Tuesday. After initially surging sharply higher, the market reversed and closed lower. This came on the back of a President Trump verbal threats against North Korea. Whatever the catalyst, the market reversal came after it made a new all-time high. The reversal put in a topping tail, a bearish topping signal. While the topping signal is significant, it is not the first one that has shown itself in recent months. All past bearish topping signals have failed. Investors should view this bearish topping tail with caution until confirmed with a secondary down move. Stay tuned and be aware.

Know This Major Technical Chart Level For Citrix Systems Technology leader Citrix Systems Inc (NASDAQ:CTXS) is trading at an important chart support level right now. The stock is basically sitting on its 50-week moving average at $75.97. Should CTXS stock price break this important chart level on a weekly closing basis it will likely signal a move lower in the share price. The next major chart support level for CTXS will be around the $72.90 level. This area is a major retrace spot where the institutional traders will often defend the stock. It is also an area where the stock broke out earlier this year, so keep this level on the radar in the near term. Nicholas Santiago InTheMoneyStocks
Why I Am Bullish On Earnings Tomorrow By Macy's Inc This past week we have seen good retail reports from Michael Kors Hldg (KORS) and horrible reports from Fossil Grp Inc. (FOSL). This is the first quarter in recent history where there has been a mix, both good and bad earnings. Over the last few quarters, it has just been bad for every retailer. So what makes me bullish on Macy's Inc (NYSE:M), who reports tomorrow morning before the market opens? The answer can be found in the stock chart. While still near its multi-year lows, the stock has inched over the daily 20 and 50 moving averages. In addition, the stock has been consolidating for the last week, making a bullish flag pattern. This pattern increases the odds of a surge on earnings. Being a stock chart trader and investor, I am using that to my advantage. I am strongly bullish on Macy's Inc into earnings tomorrow. The company is expected to report earnings of $0.45 on $5.49 billion in revenue. The real key will be margins and guidance going forward. Gareth Soloway InTheMoneyStocks
MetLife Retreats After Spin-off, Watch This Level Leading insurance and financial firm MetLife Inc (NYSE:MET) has declined since it announced and completed its spinoff of Brighthouse Financial (NASDAQ:BHF). MET stock peaked out on July 6th at $50.42 a share. Since that high pivot in the stock price the shares have declined to $46.85. Traders and investors should note that MET stock does not have major chart support until the $43.00 level. This is a spot on the chart where the stock broke out in November 2016. As I have stated many time before, when stocks retest major break-out levels they will usually be support by the institutional money. Keep MET stock on the radar when it trades down to the $43.00 level for a long side trade. Nicholas Santiago InTheMoneyStocks
