AMAT technical and fundamental pitchAMAT has been forming a falling wedge pattern. A falling edge pattern is a bullish chart pattern, therefore it could signal that AMAT is currently consolidating and investors can expect a continuation in AMAT's long term bullish trend . Furthermore, the divergence between the MACD and Stochastic indicators (moving upwards) and the price of AMAT (moving downward), could suggest an upcoming rally as the MACD and Stochastic are leading indicators. Moreover, short interest has decreased from 18,299,338 to 15,061,436 in the past month, suggesting bearish sentiment has been faltering. All this suggests an upward movement in price, which would cause an upward breakout from the falling wedge . Fundamental: AMAT has been able to consistently meet and beat analyst expectations for the past billion years, maintain a strong balance sheet and constantly remain dynamically efficient by innovating and creating cutting -edge technology. However, growing tension between the USA and China has resulted in AMAT's price falling recently, despite little change in the company's underlying intrinsic value. Therefore, anyone with at least 2 brain cells should be able to see that AMAT is trading at an absolute steal right now, with my invaluable buy stamp of approval. Price Target: The price target should be the initial height of the falling wedge added onto the price in which the breakout begins to occur. If AMAT breaks out of the wedge , a price target of roughly $64.00 is reasonable.

AMAT - When Time Is Right Take Advantage Of It Look at the charts, obvious how you could take advange of this current price action. 1) could write covered call option, which means buy in 100 lots stock and sell a higher weekly or monthly call option above price action (might want to not get caught in earnings, scheduled for 8/17/18. This is a conservative opition play, because you already own stock, but also make money when prices go up. If your sell call option (lets say at $50) is hit, you make difference of currrent price to $50, around $400 profit collect premium and sell your stock to someone else, do it again. or 2) sell option weekly or longer puts underneath current price action and collect premium, you want this to be far enough where chances are neve hit, but you make a good amount of premium for your trade. If your option is hit underneath current price action, you would need to buy stock? Nothing wrong when you now own this stock at like $40, which is around major support levels. Then use it to do another and new opiton trade.

Will AMAT bounce after the conference next week.There are always contradictions galore between one analyst and another. Between what the stock is doing and what the Analysts say it will do. That's why we have a saying "trade what you see" AMAT has a Strong buy rating but the same guy who gave it this status just lowered the price target on this stock. He's looking at the downward channel AMAT is in coupled with White House bumbleing and is just trying to cover his own corporate ass. "I told you I was less bullish on this one." Well no you have not told us that if you continue with your strong buy rating. Let's see if Thursday and Friday of this week have him move his rating back a notch to BUY if AMAT doesn't break out of this channel. The market could get a bit of a tailwind with some earnings calls next week but last Earnings Season taught us to lower our expectation for that alone to pivot the entire Shabang and return us to a Bull market. In the Semi Conductor sector there are some great articles out there but it's all speculation. Micron needs to go on a run and show leadership in Semis if AMAT is going to remount it's 9 EMA. That would get many buyers paying attention. Until it can remount it's 9 ema it's just another dropping ticker Strong buy or not. Set your alerts and keep an eye. Semis can run. But it's got a ton of over head resistance where as Micron MU is today dropping below it's 9 ema and 50 MA. One good day and MU remounts and can run. I'm not expecting or seeing this happening. I think there's more pullback in MU before it move's to all time highs again but I think it's a Trade War and Market Cycle issue. MU is still a strong company. My alerts on AMD MU INTC NVDA will all be checked regularly.

APPLIED MATERIALS - HOW TO DETERMINE WHEN A STOCK IS FAILINGBasic Trading Techniques Explained (For This Example I Charted Applied-Materials) I believe AMAT-is a failing stock. I have prepared this tutorial for you for two reasons: to keep you from losing money in a bad position, and to allow you to set up a chart of your own. Then, when you see a "hot tip" on TV, you can determine if the financial asset is worth YOUR MONEY. 1. Establish the direction of the trend . An effective way to do this is to use a 150 to 180 point regression line. This can be weekly, daily hourly (any time duration you wish to trade). Nevertheless, a 15-minute chart is not nearly as strong as a daily or weekly period. You can base the regression line on the close, but I like open, high, low, close divided by four. 2. Use a price channel, two if possible. Most trending stocks repeat within a channel. I like a 20-day channel, and I have found that if a 20-day channel is violated on the low side, this triggers “sell stops” from traders. The next channel is a 50 day. If this fails on the low side, the established trend may reverse. 3. Ichimoku Cloud . This is a great indicator and I recommend that you use it. 4. Mean reversion. If you study financial instruments, in this case stocks, they tend to oscillate up and down around the “mean”, or the regression trendline. If a stock is at the upper band of a 20-day price channel, do not chase it, because it is likely to “revert to the mean”. Better yet, if you have an up trending stock, let it fall (at least) to the lower band of the 20 day price channel. Why? Because the price will tend to “revert to the mean”. 5. ADX . The ADX is a green line, red line, and black line. If the green line is on top, the trend is up. If the red line is on top, the trend is down. The black line indicates the strength of the trend. For example, if the black line is rising, the trend (up or down) is getting stronger. Always use some form of trend quality indicator. Another such “trend quality” indicator is “Aroon”. 6. RSI or Stochastics RSI . These indicators will guide you in the “mean reversion” you plot. For example, the RSI at 80 will tell you that what you are plotting is “over-bought”. Caution: an RSI indicator, in something that is “breaking out to the upside”, can remain over-bought for long periods. You should use some of your other indicators, such as the “Awesome Indicator”, to guide you on trend reversal. The "AO" is a series of green and red horizontal bars that show you strength and weakness in a stock. 7. The Choppiness Index (CHOP ) is an indicator designed to determine if the market is choppy (trading sideways) or not choppy (trading within a trend in either direction). CHOP is not meant to predict future market direction; it is an indicator to be used to for defining the stock’s trendiness only. Higher values equal more choppiness, while lower values indicate directional trending. This is used with….chop zone. 8. I use a chop zone indicator that is green for up-trend, red for downtrend, and white for no trend. If you combine this color-coded format with #7 above (choppiness), a green color with a “chop” indicator line that is falling would indicate a strong trend. If the chop line breaks below the lower band, this indicates a statistically significant event (up for green, or down for red). This will tell you that the trend is very strong. Today’s Wisdom: “Wall Street is the only place that people ride to in a Rolls Royce to get advice from those who take the subway.” Warren Buffett I hope these trading tips help you. May all of your trades go well.

DO YOU LIKE CHIP DIP ? ARE SEMI'S READY TO SLOW DOWN ?The semiconductors have had a great run in the past year, but I recommend we use caution. For example, AMAT-is really having a hard time advancing through its year 2000 bubble .com highs. Does this warn us of trouble for the chip stocks? I believe the answer is yes. Some of the new technologies may make stocks like NVDA-or-CY-keep going for a while, but.... I have seen this danger before. Use caution. One other note: adjusted for inflation-AMAT is 20% under its year 2000 peak. My next chart will be of-INTC. This stock is not even close to its year 2000 peak. And, adjusted for inflation, it should be 20% higher. Don.
