I'm all-in on TEVA,

two accounts; Ind and Sep, so I have to applaud your choice, but ...

My trading style is both Shield and Sword and I try my best to thoroughly study the opponent: most often I buy shares (the sword) then sell weekly CCs (the shield) against those shares. Immediately, that provides income -- therefore risk is reduced. That comes with another kind of risk: selling the Calls too soon and missing a better swing higher. But I don’t often complain because doing the math and compounding weekly gains always yields over 100% gains every year if the right stock is chosen. When the right stock is not right anymore, pick a different one after doing a little homework.

Trading TEVA at present -- because it has good earnings, and being a healthcare drug stock -- ought to do pretty well while everybody is worried about becoming ill and needing medication. To me that's a slap-my-forehead-and-utter-duh! moment.

Being an all-in trader, I watch TEVA very closely [one-minute intraday charts, SMA(26)-SMA(65) trends and crossovers, and intraday pivots and their support and resistance and crossovers by the stock itself]. Also, at the one-minute level, traders seem to have price preferences that represent integer multiples of nickels and dimes so those can also become support and resistance levels. Though 30-min candles are commonly the choice of intraday traders, that's too long for me. I prefer to watch minute by minute how the trade evolves during the day and how it interacts with the things I mentioned above.
