NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) trended sharply higher early in the day, only to reverse and close near the flat line. With a closing price of $58.89, +0.15 (0.26%), NVIDIA put in a topping tail. Topping tails are reversal signals when they occur at 52 week highs. Considering NVIDIA reports earnings on Thursday, August 11th, 2016 after the stock market closes, I think it is safe to say smart money, potentially institutional money was selling. Last night, I alerted everyone I was puts on NVDA into earnings. I completed that today. I paid $2.40 for October 21st, 2016 puts, strike $55. I am currently slightly in the money and feeling good after the topping tail formed.

I generally avoid buying calls or puts just days ahead of earnings. Often there is a hefty premium in these options contracts that does not give you a good risk vs reward for making a profit. However, that is not the case in my humble opinion on NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA). This stock has sharp pull back written all over it going into earnings on Thursday, August 11th, 2016, after the stock market closes. The semiconductor company is expected to report earnings of $0.37 on revenue of $1.35 billion. 1. Since their last earnings report on May 12th, 2016, Nvidia has soared from $35.75 to a high today of $59.14. That is a whopping gain of 65.5% in just three months (one quarter). While insane, this alone is not a good enough reason to buy puts going into earnings. 2. The monthly and weekly charts both have time counts.

U.S. Steel is falling today. This stock has had a meteoric rise but every day the chart signals bigger and bigger bearish signals. There may get a long term top in U.S. Steel. In the near term, the downside target is $23.00. Below are the reasons.

1. Lower Highs

U.S. Steel has just confirmed a lower high pattern. A lower high occurs simply when a major pivot high sees a pull back, then the following bounce up does not take out the recent major pivot high. This has happened.

Bristol-Myers Squibb Co (NYSE:BMY) has taken an absurd beating over the last two trading days. What does this mean for smart investors? Possibly a great buying opportunity! That is what I am seeing based on the technical chart analysis I have done. The stock fell off a cliff after one of their biggest, most important drug studies failed to reach its endpoint. The stock collapsed from $75.25 to $60.00 in two trading days.

Today, the stock is signaling a buy off the $60 key support level. Not only was this even number tagged but on the chart there was a key gap fill going back to February 2016. A bounce is likely off this level back to $68.00. This bounce should take approximately 2-4 weeks to play out.
