Darden to make modest gains pre-earningsDarden Restaurants (DRI) is on the lower side of its upward-sloping diamond pattern and thus likely to make some modest gains leading up to earnings on June 20. Working as an upside catalyst is Darden's 1.6% earnings surprise prediction from Zacks. 1.6% isn't a huge ESP, but the market reacts well to any positive ESP number. You may want to sell off your position ahead of earnings, however, because Darden is near all-time highs and the market will heavily punish it if earnings disappoint. As always, this is just an idea about how the market will move, not investment advice.

Looking for earnings surprise from Cheetah Mobile - 1-day tradeCheetah Mobile has beaten earnings estimates on 8 out of its last 10 earnings dates. That makes it a good candidate to win again. Generally, when Cheetah Mobile beats estimates, it rises for just a single day and then falls again the day after. I've made a $500 bet that we get an earnings surprise, and I will liquidate the position tomorrow morning either way. As a general rule, companies whose stock price has declined in recent weeks get a bigger bump from an earnings surprise and a smaller drop from an earnings miss. In addition to having routinely beaten estimates, Cheetah Mobile has also seen a 30% drop in share price since March. That makes it a good candidate for an earnings play.

DISNEY: How good are you at 'prediction'? (8th May 2019)This chart of DISNEY is specially for people who like 'predictions' or trying to predict market moves. But everybody is invited to guess where price is going in the one-week period after 8th May 2019. Note what happens at or around earnings release dates. I've put vertical lines on the chart to make earnings events easier to see. Okay - I'll stick my neck out and estimate that price is gonna go south. Ooops! Everybody knows my crystal ball is broken! So for those who believe in 'prediction' just have a go at this one. LOL. Don't be shy! For those involved in fundamental analysis, there are reputable sites that will give projected fundamental data and EPS data etc.

CCJ - NYSE CCO - TSX Powering the grid Cameco Corp. Mining Uranium stock likely recovers in breakout of FIB retracements 0.5 (recent down) and 0.382 (recent up) and near 9.81 or drop below 9.50 to 8.95-9.25 resistance. Point of interest: * Uranium prices beaten down since 2011 Fukashima Reactor melt-down and back-up generator cooling failures from psunami hitting Japan. * Japan shuts down all of the 32 Nuclear Reactors to assure public safety and clean-up causing global Uranium (Ur) prices to tumble to where it now is. * Nuclear energy is still a paid for and quite reliable energy source with proper safety measures, which Japan now has and plans to restart. * No. Amer. power also relies on nuclear power, which Pres. Trump will not import from other countries supporting demand. * This is one of several plays, which is safe haven mid to large-cap mining stock and away from volatility (VIX) moneyballers like, as VIX up near 5% each of last 2 days. Viewers come to own conclusions. Like, share, comment.

INTC about to miss earnings due to AMD Epyc server growthI previously called a technical breakdown in INTC following the competition of the ascending triangle. INTC subsequently fell, but has not yet hit its full down-side price target and has rallied a bit. This is a textbook Elliot Wave zigzag correction pattern and for fundamental reasons I see the final leg of the correction about to breakout, once again to the downside. AMD just reported strong Q2 earnings after market close on 7/25/18, their best profits in seven years, on the strength of their new product portfolio. Most troubling for INTC is their growth of over 50% in their new Epyc server processors, which they attributed to growth in "Mega-data centers." This TAM is INTC's bread and butter and they have enjoyed essentially 100% control of that TAM which AMD is now starting to chip away at. I expect INTC's quatertly earnings report to show this when they report after-hours today, 7/26/18. As far as trade entries go, I expect INTC to open sharply down today, more to do with the general tech dump following FB's disappointing earnings report. I do not think the loss of server market share will be priced in due to competition from AMD. So essentially, don't be afraid to chase this down a bit, but watch out for any recovery in FB, which will likely whip-saw up and down over the next few days, which could bring INTC back up from any drop at open. I will be playing this as a short-term earnings play and a medium term play as I think INTC is a good short with a soft backdrop in tech and the S&P500 emerging. ------------------------------------------------------------- As always, the responsibility for managing your position is your own.

Expecting IBB to breakout to the upside, Michael Khouw suggests buying a Sept 113/119/125 Call Spread Risk Reversal for a $0.70 Debit. As of Friday's close, this spread is trading at $0.65.

NFLX earnings report play With the much anticipated earnings of $NFLX quickly approaching within the next few days, we saw a drop in price at about 4.28% when market closed on Friday. With the earnings estimate being 0.79 EPS and a previous earnings target being met at 0.64, I think Netflix will see a continue rise in stock price in the long run given the earnings report next week goes well. With the booming popularity and increased amount of users, this has affected the value of the stock within the past year quite favourably. Despite many competitors entering the once dominated market, NFLX still reigns supreme. With a 52 week range of $157.61- $429.91, the stock dropping nearly 5% could be a good buying opportunity. I have been thinking about adding NFLX to my portfolio so I will be watching closely on market open on Monday to see when I can buy in. We see a consistent trend of people selling before earnings reports in a panic sell with various stocks although I don't think this downward trend will be necessary or long lived for the stock giant like NFLX.

GE - Time to bet on a rebound?THE BACKDROP GE closed at $32.25 on Dec 20 2016, at the top of its long term trading channel. The stock has lost 50% since, closing at 16.26 yesterday. This downfall has been ugly, with heavy selling volume, especially most recently. There is no telling how much lower the stock will go. Currently, the stock looks oversold on all time frames and could be ready for a bounce-back on any marginally positive news - Perhaps as early as this week when the earnings are announced and we start to hear about measures to fix the business… THE TRADE I do not like to catch falling knives, and would not normally be compelled to enter a stock with disappointing fundamentals and such an ugly technical configuration. However, there is an options trade which looks interesting at this stage, and might be worth considering ahead of earnings publication in 2 days. Look to get synthetically long close to the money, and to finance such position by selling a longer, further OTM put. THE SETUP 1. Sell $15 SEP PUT and cash in $0.94/share (indicative). 2. Buy $17 JUN CALL and pay $0.92/share (indicative). THE OUTCOMES If the stock trades up, capture synthetically the full upside. If the stock trades down, the worst case is to hold GE at $15. If the stock remains range-bound —> No impact. THE ALTERNATIVE For those looking for risk-less opportunities, and do not mind paying for them, look to trade only the second leg (buy call)...
