  • munchbach: #Short Trades for today: $fast $IPGP $MCHP any thoughts?
  • issues: @bRobert $SOXL $AVGO $SMH Dr bRob I was looking/ lurking at the semis and IBD showed these as good ratings: $PI (up from minus 6% to plus 10% in a short time - too extended?) $TSEM (turning down?) $QRVO, $MCHP and $ON. I didn't like the chart on $SWKS and it has a weak rating of 75 d- (in the dumpster) Looking at the charts from this SMM pov I like $ON. Shall we say turn it ON!!? Just on the charts.... Now what does the good doctor of stocks have to say?
  • Ajax4Hire: @Auto $MU I too would like to invest in the USofA IC memory maker, $MU-Micron, but like $INTC, there is just no love. $TXN-Texas Instruments another US based IC manufacture is favored. And the other "fab-less, Fab at $TSM" IC makers are doing well: $AMD,$AVGO,$NVDA,$MRVL,$QCOM(hard to include in this list) and $AAPL,$GOOGL,$FB,$MSFT now design their own ICs in huge volume and can be considered in the group. Some of the smaller make-their-own-ICs doing great also: $ADI,$NXPI,$MSI,$LSCC and $MCHP,$SWKS,$QRVO,$ON are like $QCOM. The $SMH is cloudy.

  • Ajax4Hire: @Angdionk $TER $TER-Teradyne is another supplier to IC manufactures like $ASML,$KLAC,$LRCX,$AMAT and $UCTT Huge demand for IC manufacturing due to 2020 slow-down. The IC manufactures should be next to enjoy lift from this event: $TSM(manufactures for others), the remainder: $TXN, $MU, $INTC, $MSI, $NXPI, $MCHP, $QRVO, $SWKS, $ON, $ADI manufacture their own ICs. Note: $AMD, $NVDA, $AVGO, $AAPL do NOT manufacture, they buys from $TSM and are vulnerable to China($FXI) Taiwan($EWT) uncertainty. Use to be China overlooked Taiwan as both were wildly profiting from rise of Asia manufacturing. But now, economy doldrums and China looking to distract from internal strife. Curse of living in Exciting times.

  • Ajax4Hire: Yes, I have seen/heard several reports that automakers are having to reduce production due to IC shortages. Auto Electronics tends to be less cutting-edge, more legacy/long-term. But, if automakers having problems then others should as well. IC Fabrication companies(IC foundry) should benefit from the shortage, companies like: $TSM, $ASML, $AMAT, $LRCX, $KLAC and $UCTT and Companies that supply longer-life ICs, like: $TXN, $NXPI, $MSI, $MCHP, $SWKS(maybe), $QRVO, $TER, $ON Also, $TXN, $INTC, $MU, $QRVO, $MCHP own their IC foundry and can take advantage of the shortage. Companies that could be adversely affected because they rely on IC foundries to fabricate are: $AMD, $NVDA, $AVGO, $QCOM, $MRVL

  • Bwhitty: $MCHP not getting a lot of attention but at ATH looking for volume to add still holding 3rd from 95
  • Bwhitty: $TER looks like it might break out this morning. Quite a bit above alert pre-market. $MCHP As Semi's continue this one is gapping up this morning quite a bit. Even tho it was tempting to take profits the last few days with the selling wicks good for us that are still in it!

  • Brock: @scottrades $SPY $QQQ $GDX $GLD $TNA $TSM $MGM $GDEN $WYNN $KR $MCHP $WORK #Swing Hey Scott - Thoughts on the $IGT break above the previous high on average volume. Finished the day at the high. Is the resistance at 8.30 just numerical or what am I missing?
  • scottrades: @Brock $SPY $QQQ $GDX $GLD $TNA $TSM $MGM $GDEN $WYNN $KR $MCHP $WORK $IGT #Swing Chart looks good Brock! Don't think that 8.30 is significant other than that's when the buyers took their foot off the gas. I think round numbers, like 8, 9, 10 are more meaningful. Want to see it continue on higher volume than today. But could also see some consolidation. Look at the weekly chart to see potential levels of resistance as it goes.
  • Kid2old: @scottrades $SPY $QQQ $GDX $GLD $TNA $TSM $MGM $GDEN $WYNN $KR $MCHP $WORK #Swing I like your illustration on KR. It made it easier to follow.
  • Bridget: $NXPI is in a squeeze on the daily chart and the 50dMA has just about caught up. Trading near the 21dMA right now. Giving you a relatively good entry with a stop below the 50dMA. Also looking at $AMD $NVDA and $MCHP but these might need to consolidate for longer.

  • Greendayguy: @activetrader1 Sounds like a good strategy to me. The daily 6 month chart has lot of nice ups and downs. Fairly easy to buy and the low end, hold for the duration of the uptrend, which has been 2 - 3 weeks, sell at the top, then wait 2 - 3 weeks til the next bottom. Some of the semis look very similar recently. I just started positions on Friday in $MCHP and $CY. $ON and $SMH look very similar.

  • activetrader1: @Greendayguy $MCHP $CY $ON $SMH I have followed a similar pattern in the semis using STM. Overall they have strong revenue growth, low PE comparatively, good price range. It takes a dip to 21-22 and then bounces up to 25ish. Good range on a $20 or so stock. It still has risks like all single stocks have like revenue surprises, Apple news since they are a supplier, analyst reviews, etc so I have gravitated to SCHX where I I don’t have to worry about these factors much because of the large diversification.
  • Greendayguy: @bRobert $HIIQ Agree. I've taken some hits but hopefully I'm learning and getting better. I never try to manage more than 8 stocks at a time, and I think I'm going to reduce that number, maybe concentrate on 3 - 5. What are your thoughts on startin ...

  • Ajax4Hire: $SMH = $TSM $INTC $QCOM $MU $NVDA $TXN $AMAT $ASML $AVGO $LRCX $ADI $NXPI $MCHP $SWKS $XLNX $INTC - Intel is hovering above the 50day-MA, seems to be curving back up; or do my eyes deceive me? $TXN - Texas Instruments is in a low volatility, moving sideways plateau; I have a personal affinity for TI, use their stuff whenever I can. $AVGO wants to buy $QCOM who is buying $NXPI. This three-way dance is definitely going to make $NXPI board members rich(er); $AVGO and $QCOM board members talking smack. $AAPL, a big consumer of Broadcom, Qualcomm and NXP silicon may be the big winner. This is my long way around narrowing down to $INTC and $TXN. Buying $INTC 2018-01Jan $44 calls for $0.92; will sell if falls below 50day-MA.

  • mharps: $MCHP working nicely this am
  • Bridget: $MCHP is seeing a bounce today at the 50dMA
  • issues: @Bridget $OIH That makes sense to me. Do you have as a rule not to buy break outs, just pull backs? Or is that just this etf? or just for this season/time of a high market? The reason I'm asking is yesterday I bought $MCHP with the alert to buy on break outs. But that was a wrong move now I see.
  • Bridget: @issues $OIH $MCHP That is tough to say, I don't have a hard rule. But I have found that buying on the breakout of a broken down stock is less likely to work in my favor then buying a breakout that is at new highs. Making a rule that you always wait for the pullback is hard to do cause sometimes the pullback happens really fast and you miss it. And sometimes it never pulls back. So you have to accept that sometimes it just isn't going to work. So I try to buy as close to the breakout point as I can to reduce my risk. If I miss it, I miss it. There are still plenty of opportunities out there.
  • issues: @grcjr $MCHP Thanks for the good advice.
  • issues: @Bridget $OIH $MCHP Would you say MCHP is broken? It appears to be on the come back trail, don't ya thunk? I was glad to sell $AAOI yesterday when you wrote that it was "done". But today I am thinking this may not be "done" yet. I see continued interest and am considering buying a small position back. What do you think?
  • Bridget: @issues $OIH $MCHP $AAOI I don't think you can make a call on $MCHP. The overall trend is still intact and it is near its 50dMA but that could quickly change. A break below $78 would be very telling. You could definitely get back into $AAOI with a small position. It is consolidating here and you could see another run higher into earnings. But I would keep it on a tight leash. The stock has been seeing some higher volume selling the last 2 days. I would perhaps wait till you see some higher volume buying on the intra day. And I would definitely wait till Monday to make a move at this point.

  • issues: I'm even with a small position in $MCHP. Was trying to decide what to do. Just then! Yea? What? Just then, Dan Fitz emailed me with an alert on MCHP from way back in June. It said BUY! So I did! Hurray! It's like hearing Dan from the past whisper in my ear, "buy you dope..." Got it! Thanks Dan. That's what we pay ya fer! Also that's to Bridget who wrote about $AAOI and $YRD "That trades OVER!" Alright. I hear ya. I sold both for $2 grand profit. Thanks!
  • grcjr: @issues $MCHP - IMHO The alert indicates that we should look and see if we want to do something. When I looked at $MCHP I saw a daily chart trading just above the upper BB after a nice recent run but might be candidate for a lower high. Are we in an earnings runup? Perhaps, as earnings are 8/3 after the close so it might continue to run some. To me it is not at a great entry point. It might rest a bit and then go one way or the other but I'll be surprised if it immediately continues to climb. I do still have it on my watchlist. Got a starter? Keep a stop at the bottom of the previous day low. Or set a trailing stop about the size of the recent trading range. Cheers.

I'm keeping on top of my stops and making money while it's here to be made. Have just about made back $$$ lost in June's sell off. Don't plan on giving it back this time.
  • audrina0904: @DAN $SPX $DJI $NDX - Not that it matters much, but I agree...Take a look at the leadership stocks of the past...The rallies of the last few days have come on lower volume and they have not come close to taking out their highs. $NVDA $LRCX $AMZN $AAPL $NFLX $TSLA $QRVO $SWKS $MCHP $AMAT $EA $AEIS $MPWR - All have rallied to some extent after leading for months/qtrs but none have done so on significant step in and buy volume. $NVDA yesterday got a lot of significant talk from the analysts and moved up nicely with the market but the volume just wasn't what I'd like to see, I hope I'm wrong, but big money is either on the sideline, or not comfortable moving back in.
  • DAN: @audrina0904 $SPX $DJI $NDX $NVDA $LRCX $AMZN $AAPL $NFLX $TSLA $QRVO $SWKS $MCHP $AMAT $EA $AEIS $MPWR Sure it matters, audrina0904. Everyone's opinion matters. And I do think that a lot of money is going to the sidelines...and not a lot of money is running onto the field. I find Jaime Dimon's recent comments to be the most significant. http://www.businessinsider.com/dimon-central-bankers-are-facing-an-unprecedented-challenge-2017-7 Basically, he's saying that, because of the Fed's actions over the past 8-9 years, we are in uncharted waters. No one really knows how this is going to play out, and it's probably going to be worse than people suspect. Best line: "We act like we know exactly how it's going to happen, and we don't." Enough said. --Dan
