                      NOTES FROM THE EDITOR
               ********************************** 

Stock trading opportunities come in all flavors. Fortunately, the very best share at least one important characteristic - price movement. In any market it is essential to find stocks that are moving. Buyers prefer stocks that are trending higher, and short sellers favor stocks that are trending down. While the definition of a "moving" stock is somewhat subjective, there are several things to consider when looking for good stocks to trade.

The first place to look is at stocks that are making new highs and new lows. Stocks that have just set new highs make ideal buy-side candidates. The ability to rise to new heights reflects investor interest, and indicates the demand for shares is in excess of available supply.

On the flip side, stocks making new lows are exhibiting extreme weakness. This usually results in even more weakness as wave after wave of investors get tired of losing money and give up. The list of New Lows often contains stocks that are begging to be shorted.

As a rule, new-highs lead to more strength, while new-lows point to more trouble ahead. To get into trends early, look for stocks that have just made new four-week highs or lows. Also check the slope of the 22-day moving average. If it's leaning decidedly in one direction or the other, you can assume that the trend is relatively stable.

Keep in mind that although the purpose of trading is to be profitable, we don't have to catch 100% of every move. Find stocks that are active within your chosen time frame, and take a reasonable amount out of the anticipated movement. As for timing entries, start with the basic reversal strategies like the Bullish Bounce and Bearish U-Turn.

Trade well!

                           MARKET SUMMARY
                   *****************************

US stocks were lower on Thursday as higher interest rates, rising inflation and tighter financial conditions gave market bears the upper hand. In economic news, housing construction activity declined, jobless claims decreased by a smaller number than predicted, and Philadelphia manufacturing output unexpectedly slipped into the contraction zone. In equity headlines, Kroger (KR $50) beat quarterly earnings expectations and raised its guidance despite margins declining more than expected. The USD/dollar fell, oil prices, gold and treasuries were higher, lowering yields.

TRADER'S TIP: "Paid Two Ways"

When it comes to trading the stock market, everyone is paid in two ways - money and experience. Learn from the experience first, and the money will follow.

                              TRADER'S TIP: 
                   ***********************************

TRADER'S TIP: "Earnings Conference Calls"

Since the SEC implemented the Fair Disclosure laws, most companies allow individual shareholders to listen in on earnings conference calls that were previously limited to analysts only. If you are tracking a stock as it approaches its scheduled earnings announcement, you may want to look for the related conference call and mark it on your calendar. The behavior of the stock during the call can telegraph early reaction to management's explanation of earnings related events. If you can't find any mention of the call, give the firm's Investor Relations department a ring to ask when or if a call will be held.

                      STOCKS COVERED IN THIS ISSUE    
                   ***********************************

CONSUMER DEFENSIVE SECTOR

Beyond Meat, Inc. (BYND: Consumer Defensive/Packaged Foods) - BEARISH U-TURN. The weight of BYND's declining weekly trend was lightened recently when shares began to move upward. However, like a swimmer against the tide BYND encountered strong resistance on Thursday. Price action indicates a likely return to the previous downtrend, so plan to short BYND upon reaching our SELL trigger at 22.39. Set a 3.16 trailing stop which can be tightened to 1.58 after you have a 5.96 gain. BYND ended the latest session at 23.91. Earnings Report Date: Aug 03, 2022. Beta: 1.72. Market-Cap: 1.519B. Optionable.

ENERGY SECTOR

Talos Energy Inc. (TALO: Energy/Oil & Gas E&P) - SQUEEZE PLAY. Trader indecision has put TALO squarely in the center of a Bull versus Bear standoff. This tight spot should soon give way to a clear winner in the short-term, and we want to be in position for the move. To do that we've set a BUY entry at 21.06 and a SELL short entry at 19.33. Now it's up to TALO to show us which entry will be filled. Once the trade is underway place a 1.73 trailing stop, which can be tightened to 0.87 after you achieve a 2.18 profit. TALO closed on Thursday at 20.02. Earnings Report Date: Aug 01, 2022. Beta: 2.37. Market-Cap: 1.652B. Optionable.

BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust (BPT: Energy/Oil & Gas Refining & Marketing) - SQUEEZE PLAY. BPT traders on both sides of the fence are now locked in a head-to-head shootout. Thursday's price range was the narrowest in over a week, as neither Bears or Bulls have been able to clearly gain the upper hand. This gives us an opportunity to catch the next directional move with little risk of loss. To do this we'll place both a long and a short trigger with a BUY at 22.8 and a SELL short trigger at 20.03. When one of the orders is filled, cancel the remaining order and enter a 2.77 trailing stop. When you've reached a 2.66 paper profit, tighten the stop to 1.39. BPT closed at 20.82 on Thursday. Earnings Report Date: N/A. Beta: 0.11. Market-Cap: 445.548M. Optionable.

HEALTHCARE SECTOR

SpringWorks Therapeutics, Inc. (SWTX: Healthcare/Biotechnology) - SQUEEZE PLAY. The struggle between buyers and sellers has resulted in SWTX's narrowest trading range of the past seven sessions. With neither group able to take complete control on Thursday, the stock's short term destiny is up for grabs. You can capitalize on this unusually tight condition by placing both a BUY order at 21.15 and a SELL order at 19.02. Regardless of which order is triggered, cancel the other one and follow your entry with a 2.13 trailing stop. Tighten the stop to 1.07 once you have a 6.36 gain. SWTX closed Thursday at 20.47. Earnings Report Date: Aug 02, 2022. Beta: 1.08. Market-Cap: 1.012B. Optionable.

CareDx, Inc (CDNA: Healthcare/Diagnostics & Research) - SQUEEZE PLAY. In certain stocks a tightly constricted price range is a sign that neither bulls nor bears are confident of winning in the near term. This often means that the side that gives up first causes a quick move in the opposite direction. In these fear dominated skirmishes, opposing traders always benefit from the retreat. In the Squeeze Play setup you can actually play both sides of the inevitable surge. CDNA traders reached this state of stand-off on Thursday with the tightest range of the past seven days. You can take advantage of their efforts by placing a low risk BUY trigger at 21.07 and a SELL short trigger at 19.37. After one of the two orders is filled, cancel the un-triggered order and place a trailing stop at 1.7 which can be tightened to 0.85 on a 3.7 gain. CDNA closed Thursday at 20.56. Earnings Report Date: Jul 27, 2022. Beta: 0.81. Market-Cap: 1.094B. Optionable.
