1. When a biotech collapse occurs look for 80% or more of a drop. This happens once a month or so. The reason must be because of a failed drug. This happened with Novavax.

Yes, I will admit it. I am excited today. Buying the ProShares UltraShort QQQ ETF (NYSEARCA:QID) is probably the smartest move an investor can make today. Why? Because $AAPL has carried the NASDAQ 100 for four straight days but is seeing MASSIVE distribution today. What is distribution? It is where there is huge volume but prices starts to flatten out. This is happening to Apple ever since it tagged the $115.00 level. Distribution occurs when big money institutions sell into greedy small investors. The volume is big but price stays the same as the buy volume and sell volume is equaled out. In addition, the NASDAQ 100 ETF (NYSEARCA:QQQ) just filled a major gap going back to Friday's collapse. This is a huge resistance point for the NASDAQ 100. When you add the gap fill + Apple distribution, you get a top in the NASDAQ. This is why I am so FREAKIN' EXCITED. You can thank me later when you make thousands on this heads-up alert.

If you are an investor who is long Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX), you better pay close attention. If you are an investor looking to short Chevron, pay close attention as well. There is a head and shoulder technical chart pattern that has fully formed on the stock chart. When price breaks the neck line to the downside, the stock will drop to $89.50. This is over a 10% fall on the stock and could happen within weeks. Head and shoulder patterns are great setups if you spot them early and know when to jump on board. In this case, price must close below $98.50 for the hard sell to begin.

Freeport-McMoRan Inc (NYSE:FCX) has two major signals telling investors a bounce is coming. As a smart investor, you always want at least two reasons why you are buying a stock. Basically, the first is great but the second reinforces it. The first triggered when Freeport-McMoRan hit the daily 200 moving average on the stock chart. The second triggered with the reversal off of it, putting in a bottoming tail. Bottoming tails are strong technical reversal signals. The combination of these two make $FCX a strong buy at its current price of $9.75.
