May 21, 2017

Mini Dow Futures Weekly

Trading since last month’s low suggests that the pause is over and the
uptrend is resuming. The next targets are 22,500 and 24,000. A decisive
break of support at this week’s low could result in a pause or a pullback.

The first profit opportunity we will review this week is in WIX, or WIX.COM Ltd.
Wix.com is a cloud-based web development platform. WIX allows users to
create HTML5 web sites and mobile sites through the use of online drag and
drop tools.
WIX Monthly

The monthly chart shows that WIX quadrupled in price from last year’s low to
last month’s high. That’s a very strong bull trend!
WIX Daily

The daily chart gives a more compressed picture of the big bull move since
last year’s low. The pullback to the Mid-Line of the Keltner Channel gives us
a buying opportunity.

We are going to review a Call Debit Spread for WIX.

Traders who want a more leveraged approach could consider buying WIX
calls. WIX has options expiring in June, July, October, and January 2018.
Buy to Open WIX July 21st expiration 60-strike Call
Sell to Open WIX July 21st expiration 70-strike Call

We can see from the Call Option Spread Analysis Calculator that if the WIX
stock price declines by -5%, stays the same as it is now, or increases in price
when the options expire, the spread will show a profit of 44.9% or $310. If WIX
is down -7.5% when the options expire, the spread will make 21.8% or $150.

drivers in various cancers and rare genetic diseases.

EARNINGS SEASON: There are four “Earnings Seasons” a year. The seasons begin in
January, April, July, and October and they each last about two months. The earnings
reports can have an impact on the stock price. We don’t know if the impact is going to
be positive or negative (or nothing at all). It’s up to you to decide if you want to be in a
trade when the earnings report is announced. Here’s a link for a page that can help you
