Long book: WMT at support with solid valuationWMT is offering a great entry for the long term here. Free cash flow yield of 6.8%, earnings yield of 5.6% with very low debt, with a 2.94% dividend yield on top make for a solid spot to acquire WMT shares.
You can buy here, or buy gradually over a week/month to average your entry.
I'd reccomend either risking a 3.1usd decline, or using no stop and sizing it accordingly to risk 1% of your capital.
Alternatively you can sell puts at the money, or at the target, the 80 strike Dec 16 puts pay a hefty premium which makes break even possible close to these prices. Profit is similar to being long shares, but you get cash up front which you can use for other trades.
Good luck,
Ivan Labrie.

WFM/WMT: Pair trade setupWe can take a pair trade here. Let's enter long WFM/WMT.
Basically, we'd consider risk per share, to determine the amount of shares to long and short on each leg of the pair, but not use any stop loss. Profit will result from WFM outperforming WMT in the coming months.
Good luck!

Are we seeing DISTRIBUTION on a QUARTERLY timeframe?I think this is a great chart and study of the application of Wyckoff. I don't claim to be an expert as only studied a few publications; however, I diligently apply it as I find logic more applicable to "technicals."
1st I'm not sure I would over-react; but longs should be aware that we may be witnessing DISTRIBUTION on a QUARTERLY timeframe. Prices are attempting to remain above resistance created in 1999.
If price are unable to hold this $70 level it could very well confirm my bearish distributive thesis as it would create a "last point of supply" (LPSY). If prices were to reject this level bulls still have a "safety net" as the long term trend has created support defined by the lower trendline of the ascending channel around $59. If this level is violated I would recommend protecting any long term profits.
A breakdown of this longer term support would create an "oversold" opportunity allowing buyers to re-enter with less risk; likely returning prices back within the ascending channel.
Good Luck!
Showing signs of accumlation $77 price targetWMT is showing signs of accumulation. We can also see below that buying demand remains present while cumulative selling pressure is contracting. Price discovery is not trading high with much ease as we resistance because of possible longs trapped in last August positions and new shorts entering.
Volume is contracting so I suspect prices will pullback again to $69. If buyers are present WMT should continue to $77
Good Luck!
WFM: Potential double bottom ahead of earningsWe have an interesting setup here. We can try a pair trade where we'd short WMT and long the same amount of WFM, or we can simply go long WFM, either buying stock or trading bullish option strategies ahead of earnings.
If trading stock, you can use my suggested stop loss location.

WMT: Picture perfect long setupWMT is offering a very nice entry, after forming a new weekly mode, which implies the strong uptrend is seeing reaccumulation at higher levels.
I'm looking to enter longs at market, at the open, ideally on retrace to the mid point of the green triangle on chart.
Stops should be below 67.40, for example at 66.51, or using 3 times the daily ATR.
Yield is very nice and I think the stock is due for a 11%+ rally still.
Good luck if taking this trade.

DOW JONES OVERVIEW: WMT @ MACRO UNCERTAINTY, AT SHORT TERM RISK For WallMart stocks, 2015 was not a good year so far...
Trading between macro means on long term basis, price signalling uncertainty. Price has recently failed 5-year mean at 69 and is now between it and 10-year mean at 60. No trend on macro basis is an outlier, indicating that currently long term institutional investors are unsure regarding this company.
On short term basis WMT is on a risk of further decline, as it is trades below 1st st deviation from mean.
The short term level is above 5 year mean, so as long as price will be trading below 69, it risks to fall onto the 10-year mean at 60
Wal-Mart Potential Diamond Top Breakout, Aiming for $67.50We note that price has been trading along bullish uptrend line, from Aug 2011 to May 2013. However price has been consolidating sideways since June 2013 until now.
We note a possible Diamond Top Formation close to breaking out. The breakout will likely happen after price manages to trade and sustain below 75.00.
The objective of the pattern will be to reach 67.50, by around 22 Oct 2014.
Risk; There is a risk that the breakout will be stalled when it reaches support level at 72.50 and the pattern changes into a rectangle sideways consolidation. This is why partial profit taking at 72.50 might be a good idea.
