Scott Redler’s Dog Bytes: A BIG Earnings Week

Shares

Welcome to Scott Redler's Dog Bytes, which gives you a selection of insights from Scott's Redler Report newsletter.

SPX futures are -17 after a big rally to a new high of 4412 Friday. It’s a big earnings week. We'll see if 4370-4381 acts as support today now that things are extended.

NFLX reported last Tuesday and underwhelmed. Most big names hit this week: TSLA reports today after the close, AAPLMSFT and GOOGL report tomorrow, FB is Wednesday, and AMZN is Thursday.

TSLA reports earnings after the close today. I'm not taking an options strategy into it. If it's a super solid report, it will need to get and stay above the $693-$700 area to open the door for higher prices. For now, see it holds $648ish.

AAPL has been acting special since it reclaimed the moving averages in the $127.50 area. There have been so many ways to create cash flow. Last week my strategy was to get long in the $144 area. It reports Tuesday. I'm in some stock and will look to add more. I also bought $150 calls.

MSFT has been above the 8/21 day since May, providing leadership. Last week it made a new high before many other names, hitting $289.99. I'd trim into strength because it feels like strong numbers are already priced in.

GOOGL has been riding the 8/21 day higher for months as dip buyers keep getting rewarded. On Friday, it hit a high of $2667. It's up this morning and I'd be looking to trim.

FB moved in sympathy with TWTR and SNAP. It reports Wednesday. A little digestion above $358 keeps it constructive. $375 is Friday's high to watch.

AMZN has been a grand slam and my macro call spread has been VERY profitable. I'm still in about a third of it which I will likely hold into earnings on Thursday. I might add another option strategy to get more exposure. Last week it cleared $3592 to hit $3666 Friday. The all-time high pivot is $3773. There is no real setup today, but it's showing relative strength.
