Bristow Group Inc $BRS is the stocks Trade of the Week
The Trade Ideas scan labeled “Trend Change Lubricant” is pointing towards a wonderful short squeeze opportunity with a chart pattern emerging from an exceptionally tight range and basing formation. Bristow Group $BRS just had earnings and the company surprised with better than expected results.
The percentage of short sellers in this stock is a whopping 64% and they will have to decide what to do if BRS breaks out of this long tight basing range. If they decide to cover their shorts by buying the stock back, we could see a nice short squeeze higher. With a relatively low float of shares in circulation (32 million), we see even more reason for continuation out of this tight range.

LONG Stocks Trading Idea of week is $SIRI
This can be setting up for a go-pause-go pattern, and a breach of the 2-day high could cause the roughly 18% of the shares in the float who are short, to rush to cover. There is now a very strong support level at $5.50, but giving some wiggle-room, we will use a break of $5.45 as the stop. We always say targets are subjective, so we are calling for a 3 to 1 reward/risk ratio. With that ratio, our target will be set at $6.92

JNJ Q2 Earnings explored
There are often deeper facts underlying earnings reports, and $JNJ Johnson & Johnson’s Q2 earnings report is no different.
What the JNJ Q2 Earnings Tell On the Surface
image of JNJ logoJohnson & Johnson (JNJ) released its Q2 earnings results on Tuesday, July 18, 2017 with profits that were beyond expectations and sales that were below anticipation. Specifically, JNJ reported global sales of $18.84 billion while the market expectation was $18.97 billion. However, the sales figure did represent a 1.9% rise from the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Without currency fluctuations, that would translate to a 2.9% rise.
JNJ reported $1.83 earnings per share which exceeded the market estimates by $0.03 per share. It has managed to top EPS estimates of the Street in every single quarter for over three years. It also improved its full-year EPS forecast to the $7.15-to-$7.22 range from the previous $7-to-$7.15, with the company being usually conservative with regard to its full-year profit guidance. But experts dig deep beneath the headlines and reveal there’s a lot more to the company’s second quarter.
Lower US Pharmaceutical Sales
Leaving out currency fluctuations, Johnson & Johnson’s pharmaceutical segment experienced 1% growth globally, and this was accounted for by increased sales overseas. Within the United States, pharmaceutical sales actually fell 2.6%. Global pharmaceutical revenue made up almost 46% of the company’s total sales in Q2. Remember, the pharmaceutical segment is the company’s primary source of growth and margins. Investors would therefore be wondering why its pharmaceutical sales have struggled in the United States.
This domestic struggle in pharmaceutical sales can be accounted for by the competition faced by mature drugs from biosimilar drugs and generics. As a result of this decline in domestic sales, Johnson & Johnson has been busy acquiring organizations. It recently completed the $30 billion cash acquisition of Actelion, the Swiss-based specialty drug manufacturer. Here the company is banking on the growth in sales of the pulmonary arterial hypertension drugs developed by Actelion for counterbalancing the weak sales from Johnson & Johnson’s mature drugs.

Infosys $INFY:NYS and Enel Americas $ENIA:NYS amongst stocks Trading at Less than Cash Value
Trading at Less than Cash Value
Today we are looking at companies trading at less than cash value meaning companies whose current share price is less than the cash per share on the balance sheet. We also show the value of cash net debt per share to show how much cash per share would be left if the debt was paid off.
What this Means...
Companies can have more cash per share than the actual share price for a number of reasons including they just raised capital, are in industries that experience high burn rates and will eat through the cash quickly or if there is a lot of uncertainty about the future of the company. Companies earning a positive net income will have a P/E greater than 0 and are worth exploring in more detail.
Lets look at a couple of the companies on this list to get a better understanding of them.

Stocks Trading Idea of the Week is for Sunrun Inc |$RUN
In the interest in staying with what has been working, Trade ideas technology is giving us a few contenders that look to push to new 52 week highs with the help of short sellers capitulating and creating yet another short squeeze in this market environment. Sunrun Inc. (RUN) has caught our eye as such a candidate from the “Squeeze Me” scan. – for the stocks trading idea of the week.
The suggested entry price of buying RUN is conditional of the stock trading above 7.35 this week.
RUN has earnings in 11 trading days and also a short float of 28%; meaning 28% of the stock holders might start buying their shares back if RUN trades too far above 7.35. This could potentially propel RUN higher over a few days of “short squeezing” the short sellers.

Summary
Verastem entering acceleration phase $VSTM
Biotech is an obvious area of high risk and we rarely get involved unless via limited risk option plays. Only on very low dollar value stocks do we consider outright purchases and we assume that the price can go to zero when assessing our risk. We also do a little research regarding what Phase they are in. Our favored position is to target stocks have have completed Phase 2 testing. Phase 1 often causes a short explosive trend that is short lived. A failure at Phase 2 will have catastrophic consequences for the share price. A successful Phase 2 increases the odds that they may be onto something and this trend can be both strong and of greater length. $VSTM is currently in that sweet spot of a Phase 3 trial.

INTC & NVDA Analysis and Outlook Video
This week we will be be looking at two of the big chip manufactures, $INTC & $NVDA, from a purely technical standpoint. At APA Zones we care about what price alone is telling us.
On Nvidia, $NVDA, this week
image of NVDA logoNVDA Price has been in a step uptrend this week. Price has moved off the high of $168.50 and has given a nice little retest of new daily demand zone at 147 down to 142. Price bounced off that and is now climbing back into the highs. This week I believe will be a decision week as the bulls will have a real context on their hands as price attempts to retest the highs at $168.50. Will it fail or expand into new highs? I believe that’s it a little too soon to tell as I need to see price push more into the $165 price before I believe price has really tested the high yet.
On Intel, $INTC, this week
INTC Price is tested the daily demand zone at $34.19 down to $32.42. This is really kind of the bottom of a big range that price as been in image of INTC logosince last October. We see price at another decision point herefor INTC. Price has already bounce on the zone back in December. Therefore this zone has already done it’s job and price could move through it pretty easily, possibily even gap down through it.

Options Play on $NKE Ahead of Earnings
First we will examine the stocks historical earnings performance record. We can see that over the past 8 quarters the stock has rallied 4 times on earnings day with an average move of 4.4%. This does not tell us that the stock is guaranteed to rally this quarter but it does show us that there is a slight bullish bias in the performance of NKE on earnings day. This means that as we work through the rest of our analysis will have a bullish bias.
With a sense of how the stock has moved on earnings day in the past we can calculate the expected movement for this quarter. To best isolate the expected movement in NKE we will use the shortest dated options that still contain the catalyst event. In this case we will use the June 30rd weekly expiry. To measure the market makers expected move we will need to calculate the price of the at the money straddle. We looked at the NKE $3.00 strike straddle in the June 30rd weekly expiry and it is implying a whopping $3.00 move.
$NKE Straddle
The straddle is marking around $3.00. This implies an expected move of around $3.00. This implies a move of around 5.2% by Friday’s expiry. Since this is in line with the stocks historical movement record we know that there an opportunity to put on a good reward vs risk setup GOOGL.
Upside target = $52.60 + $3.00 = $52.60
Downside Target = $52.60 – $3.00 = $49.60

Stocks Trading Idea for $ASPS | Altisource Portfolio
This week, sitting at the top of the “Trend Change Lubricant” Top List from Trade Ideas technology is ASPS. With a float of only 18 million shares, 67% of that is held by short sellers. ASPS had plenty of time to recover from the steep drop in sympathy to news in another company. The chart shows an ideal setup for this type of trade; a narrow range base looking to move higher out of that base with a high short float % to help fuel the breakout.
Note- The average daily volume on ASPS is a bit low at 132k shares but if the stock breaks out, relative volume could tell the story. It would be nice to see relative volume readings above 2.0 if the trade triggers. This would mean the stock is doing double the normal volume for the day. If not, use your own discretion on volume.

Nvidia Driverless Car Tech - $NVDA
The driverless car tech industry is set to boom with commercial introduction soon, and Nvidia (NVDA) is already profiting.
The stock market sometimes has stocks that could take off in a big way as certain industries begin to gain prominence. And, there’s one industry that’s set to transform transportation in the near future.
Public roads in the United States could soon see driverless cars in action. The government could be legalizing autonomous vehicles before the end of the next decade or even sooner than that. It’s the future, with IHS Automotive predicting 21 million self-driving cars being sold in 2035 in the United States alone and 76 million being sold globally all through 2035. Obviously, this makes driverless car stocks really valuable for investors because of the immense growth opportunities out there. This is a unique segment since it is witnessing massive investment from auto companies and tech companies alike.
Why Nvidia Is in an Enviable Position
Experts believe Nvidia (NVDA) can significantly profit from the driverless revolution. Let’s find out why:
image og Nvidia, NVDA logoNvidia is a well known company in tech circles, but the graphics chip manufacturer is pivotal to the car market. It has already been supplying processors to car companies for powering their in-car infotainment systems and instruments. Now it has plunged into the artificial intelligence (AI)-powered self driving car tech. It also began profiting from it the past year. Contributing to this is the company’s AI platform, Drive PX 2, which has been used by over 225 car and truck manufacturers as well as other start-ups and research organizations.
Nvidia announced in May that Toyota would be using the Drive PX 2 platform for powering its driverless technology that will be introduced in the market. That’s a big boost for Nvidia since Toyota is the world’s no.1 auto manufacturer, offering the potential for significant growth for the chip and AI platform manufacturer. Tesla Motors ($TSLA – which is another great autonomous car stock) has begun using the Drive PX 2 platform for powering the Autopilot feature on its Model X and Model S. The soon-to-be-released Model 3, the more affordable Tesla car, will also use this platform. Mercedes-Benz (Daimler), Volvo and Audi (Volkswagen group) have also partnered with $NVDA for driverless tech.
Drive PX 2 Key to the Future of Transportation
The Drive PX 2 platform is expected to provide not only cars and trucks but also shuttles with Level 3 autonomy by the end of 2017 and Level 4 autonomy, which is just a level away from total autonomy, by the end of 2018.
Coming to the numbers, revenue from Nvidia’s auto platform rose 24% year over year, hitting $140 million in Q1 of fiscal 2018. Overall, this occupies only a tiny part of the chip maker’s revenue, 7.2% of the company’s $1.94 billion, most of which comes from the gaming industry. But with the amazing growth of the driverless car market, the revenue from the auto industry is sure to increase for Nvidia.

Retail Sector Doom and Gloom
The days are numbered for many brick-and-mortar retail giants, but there are some who are well prepared for the storm.
With nearly every transaction and communication under the sun being carried out online, it isn’t surprising that online stock trading is now the trend. This has caught up in retail too, with the physical, brick-and-mortar retail sector set to face its doomsday pretty soon because of the rise and growing popularity of e-commerce.
It may seem that the world of brick-and-mortar retail could come to an end soon. Indeed, it wouldn’t be too far from the truth since more physical stores are getting closed now than during the recession. Radio Shack has closed 1000 stores from Memorial Day and declared bankruptcy, while Payless Shoe Source is set to close 800 stores. The other brick-and-mortar stores such as Macy’s, Sears, J.C. Penney and Michael Kors are all retreating, fast closing down their stores due to lack of sales.
But experts believe there are some brick-and-mortar retail stocks you can bank on, since not only are these companies not shrinking like many of their rivals but they are still expanding and showing signs of health. Among these are Dollar General ($DG), TJX Companies ($TJX) and Costco ($COST).
