DOUBLE TAKE AT THE TRANNIES

I’m guilty of recency bias here, so understand that ahead of this idea. A couple months ago, I started talking a lot about the $BPTRAN, which is the bullish percent indicator for transportation stocks. Couple this with the work I did last year about what I felt would be a false Dow Theory sell signal and I’ve been pretty upbeat about this group, especially considering that most of these stocks were hit hard in the last year.

2016-07-14_8-03-31Here’s a longer dated snapshot of this indicator from the DW site. It’s pretty rare for transports to get this low, but this has been a fantastic buy indicator as all my P&F chartists would agree.

Some of the top weightings in the index include $KSU, $UNP, $NSC, $LSTR, $CHRW, $JBHT, $R, $KEX, etc. I’ve been watching the long term charts of these and they look amazing. The last year or more, they’ve all been trading in bullish flag/wedge patterns back to support. The response down there was hard to ignore.

    Reloaded my $KMI September calls that I sold before earnings. Also grabbed $XON shares. Couldn’t settle on a strike and expiry so I went for shares to give it some time to work.

      My last new position today was to get calls in $YRCW. I’ve deployed about half of my $S funds and am going to hold off on the rest for now.

    Maybe this explains why $AA and $TCK are looking so tempting to me right now as beneficiaries? Earnings Thursday AM for $TCK and very low volatility

    My kinda market…and obviously yours. I will be joining your service next week as I slowly work excess commission dollars into the market. Bar and lending businesses are very good and affirm the optimism in share prices.

    Bought LC Sept 5.5 and OCT 6’s yesterday and riding this recent run in EXAS.

    It’s biotech time. VRX looks ready to rip. MNK also looks coiled.

    TRTC getting going.

    CTXS and AKAM top earnings plays for tonight. BAC also looks ready to rip 15+

    Time to bank some major coin gentlemen.
