Chris Johnson's Best Trade Idea for Next Week Could Net Investors 90%

by Leave a Comment

Investors could become defensive if we don't get up to 3,150 and close above there for a couple days in a row.

To see when we might dip, Chris said to keep an eye on the VIX.

Right now, the VIX below 30 is a positive indicator that investors are optimistic about stocks.

But there are two key levels to watch: the VIX at 30, and then 35.

A break above both would be an indicator stocks could be ready for another correction.

Chris will update Markets Live viewers Monday at 8:45 a.m. on his next real-time broadcast.

Make sure to tune in.

And until then, Chris did give viewers this trade recommendation...

Should I Buy Facebook Stock Now?

by Leave a Comment

Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ: FB) has been in the news this week as over 180 advertisers are boycotting the social media giant.

Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg triggered the exodus last week when he said his company won't monitor hate speech and violence on the platform.

The stock dropped 11% in the two trading days following dropouts from mega-cap companies like Verizon (NYSE: VZ), Unilever (NYSE: UN), Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), and Starbucks (NYSE: SBUX).

Some analysts expect up to one third of Facebook's total advertisers will join the revolt.

So, what do you do if you own the stock? And is this correction a buying opportunity or time to steer clear?

During his Markets Live stream at 8:45 a.m. EDT this morning, Money Morning Technical Trading Specialist D.R. Barton, Jr., answered this exact question for his viewers...

Markets Live Recap: Record Retail Sales Push Stocks Higher Today

by Leave a Comment

Stocks rose Tuesday on the back of a record retail sales jump in May, positive trial results from a potential COVID-19 treatment, and more economic stimulus from the Fed.
