June 18th -22nd 2018 Stocks to watch for trading and Investing



"If you invest $1,000 in a stock, all you can lose is $1,000, but you stand to gain $10,000 or even $50,000 over time if you’re patient. The average person can concentrate on a few good companies, while the fund manager is forced to diversify. By owning too many stocks, you lose this advantage of concentration. It only takes a handful of big winners to make a lifetime of investing worthwhile." Peter Lynch

XLE Potential double top closed below 50 day MA support

XOP Sitting on potential 50 MA and price support
Oil and energy names could see some pressure next week as OPEC meets with the expectation that production hikes may be on the way. We will know more on Friday after their meeting in Vienna but there is like to be chatter all throughout the week leading up to the meeting. There was a significant dip in oil on Friday and we may see some continued weakness in the sector. Keep in mind the hurricane season is upon us as well which could also have an impact on the energy space.


IYT if we do have a pull back in oil and energy it should come as no surprise that transportation could benefit nice flag on the daily right at the 200 dolla holla and sitting on the 20 day SMA FedEx is also reporting earnings this week and could have an impact on the sector


XRT after recently testing 52 week highs the XRT may find some support at the 20 day and potential price support in the 48 range

IBUY testing all time highs and right at trend line resistance very thin trading online retail ETF
The retail sector could be in play depending on the outcome of an anticipated ruling from the supreme court issuing a decision with regards to online sellers having to pay sales tax in states where they do not have a physical presence. The ruling is due out on the 18th


XLP Consumer staples have been on my radar for the last several weeks as beaten up potential value plays these are more swing or long term hold plays some are dividend paying considerations like $KHC $PG $KO others like $HAIN $SMPL $RIBT have nice looking daily charts The ETF is flagiing after breaking the downward trend line and sitting just over the 50 EMA and SMA


SMH flagging after not being able to retest the recent all time highs $MU reports this week and could help determine if the all time high gets retested or if we break below the 20 sma and potentially test the 105 are as potential price support as well as the 50 day SMA


IWM small and micro caps have been extremely strong and could remain strong as trade war fears continue They have already had a tremendous run and are currently flagging It would not be a total shocker to have a pullback to the 160 area as potential price support if the markets roll over also keep an eye on dollar strength while a strong dollar may not be good for the big multinationals it is good for the small US based companies.


QQQ Tech continues to be a leading sector nut it has also had a very nice run with overbought conditions but things can stay overbought


XLI industrials with the fears of trade wars this sector is one of the more vulnerable sectors as it is testing a cluster of moving averages 50 100 and 200 day as potential support after a failed down trend line break attempt


XLF with the recent legislation and rate hike one would assume the financial stocks would be doing better than their recent performance indicates but the sector is sitting just over potential price support after closing below the 200 day the sector is reaching oversold territory and could see a bounce


SPY could see a pull to 270-272 area for potential price support as well as the 50 day SMA currently trying to hold onto the 20 sma but if financials, consumer staples, retail and transportation can manage to rally then the SPY could be headed towards the recent all time high test
