Jack Dorsey, CEO of both Square $SQ and a little-known company named Twitter $TWTR, is having a pretty good year. How good? Well, in the last 365 days, $SQ is up 177% and Twitter is up a more modest 158%. Boy, the sentiment in these two names...

With two weeks to July expiration, it's time to review our July positions that will be expiring soon and take any actions that are necessary to reduce risk or take profits. This is the time of the cycle when the theta cost of our long premium plays...

With earnings for Apple coming up on July 31, there's just enough time, worthwhile juice, and a significant price level to lean against in order to potentially bite off some quick profits in $AAPL while limiting our downside risk. Since we don't have...

The running metaphors for Nike $NKE stock are too obvious, so I'll do my best to avoid them. However, it cannot be denied that last week's monster gap higher coming out of earnings has launched the stock around the final turn and it is now sprinting...

...FEED them.

Continuing with a theme that emerged for us this week, we're taking recent volatility climbs as a gift to help us get through a typically slow summer trading period. Weeks like this one -- just ahead of a holiday week -- are the...

I feel like the recent minor skirmishes in U.S. stocks over the past week have been a nice little gift for premium sellers heading into what is a traditionally the slowest period of the calendar year. With the Independence Day holiday on the horizon,...

Last week, Tom Bruni penned a post titled Global ETF Carnage Continues, highlighting how ETFs representing stock markets around the world have been getting hurt by US...

If you're like me, you think ATM charges are a crime. And one of the worst offenders is Chase, part of JP Morgan's umbrella. It's time we make them pay us back for all the ATM fees they've stolen from us for the privilege of having access to...

AMD has had a tremendous run off this April's lows, where it bottomed out around $9.00. Today, it's trading north of $16. That's a greater than 75% move in about 11 weeks. Wow.

But we have some very important technical and supply-and-demand...

Google is making a run at a big fat round number - 1200 -- which would also be a new all-time high, and time is of the essence to get aboard what could be a rocket ship ride much, much higher. We don't have much time to waste so I'll just cut right to...

Sector rotation has been a hot topic as this bull market keeps finding fresh legs to pull us higher. As we scan the entire marketplace looking for clues as to the next sector to wake up, we've identified the Home Builders as a viable option with some...

Americans love their burgers. And customers around the world love American iconic brands. These two forces are unlikely to change in the near future, and thus sales at McDonald's restaurants around the world should continue to be strong. Of course, I...

Rotation is the big word that's got us stock market bulls excited around here. It seems every couple of weeks there's a new sector that takes the baton to lead the broader indices higher. And just when one sector looks like it might...

It happens far too often: a game-changing company comes on the scene, has a massive run in its share price, makes a ton of people a ton of money, and becomes a media darling with constant, breathless stories about this exciting new widget maker....

The Technology sector ETF $XLK in recent months has overtaken its previous highs set in the year 2000. For anyone that was trading during that time, you know that breaking these levels is a big deal. Do you think 18 years of reclaiming former highs is...

Technology stocks continue to lead the broader markets higher, and that still keeps us at All Star Charts bullish on stocks. How can you not be when technology has such an important weight on the indexes?

JC recently drew attention to the...

The $XLE Energy Sector ETF is currently scoring one of the highest implied volatilities relative to it's biggest ETF peers. Sure...

I was confused too. But no, $DQ is not America's favorite destination for shakes, malts, and blizzards. But it is sexy in it's own way -- it's an energy company named Daqo New Energy in one of the hottest sectors we think will be leading stocks higher...

It might sound like we're beating a dead horse here, but the Russell 2000 printed another new all-time high yesterday (I know, it ended up being a red day, but that volume tho...) and there's just no way I can view this with any bearish...

The team here at All Star Charts is very bullish on the Oil & Gas Exploration & Production sector as discussed here (premium). Before...
