Altria Inc- Short OpportunityLong-term opportunity on Altria, parent company of Philip Morris USA (producer of Marlboro cigarettes). Great dividend stock, sustainable because it is covered by operating cash flow. The price is currently touching the above trendline of this downtrend channel. We'll be looking for a breakout of the rising trend to go short.
Always keep in mind it is a game of probabilities!

Altria with mixed feelingsHey everyone,
atm i got Altria on the screen with mixed feelings in terms of technical analysis. The green line gives good support while the red box is a huge resistance. The Trend points upwards while the RSI got a divergence. There is also a chance for wave 3 in this current consolidation.
You could buy that stock as a dividend position (7,9%) and buy more f the stock goes down. You could also buy with a tight stop included. I will go with the dividend position though.
Buy: now / 43.15$
( Stop: 42.50$ )
Goal: ?
Much fun with that trade!
Leave a follow please, my goal is 200 :)
CRON Make or Break! Crypto Crusader here with an extremely speculative pick, a weed stock, to be exact Cronos Group.
I don't have the time to discuss a more detailed analysis, but I'll post this chart to explain my thinking regarding technicals.
In regards to fundamentals, Altria (the maker of Marlboro) owns just under 50% of Cronos Group. You have to wonder, the maker of the worlds most popular cigarettes (regardless of tobacco being an addictive substance) must have a top notch marketing team behind them. They have billions of dollars, and it's in their best interest to see their investments profit. I'm sure they have a plan for Cronos. This is going to be almost purely speculative as a short / medium term investment, I would expect 50%+- swings in either direction. My entry was around $7.5, lets see how high this stonnkk can go!
May the trading God's be in your favor!

CRON - ShortingDon't get me wrong, overall I am bullish on this stock. Coming up, however, we are due for a correction from a market driven largely by news / media. Check the financials.
Keep in mind everything from 1/28 -> on could be artificial movement due to Kramer calling it out on TV. I would expect quite a big profit taking coming up, wouldn't be surprised by a drop of 38% from current rise ($14 price), or even more, before the strong resistance kicks in. I love this stock (bought in at $7.62 / pre Altria) but all rides up have their downs.
2 things to look at on longer charts. 1D, and 1W. Developing rising wedge - unavoidable from recent news attention. Bearish Divergence seen in the RSI. Overbought, and decreasingly so. My sell limit is at a conservative $20. However, it may be reasonable to expect a $22-24 price before the correction.
I have charted a Fib Retrace from current low, expecting a 38% profit taking. Keep in mind, if the price goes > $19.50, the Fib Retrace needs to be adjusted for newer buy targets. Currently, I am looking at nice round numbers of $14 (best estimate), $12, or $10 (least likely). At least we have our Resistance levels marked, if there is a correction.
Chance to sell a good working PUT on AltriaThere is a support level around 54$ which was already tested beginning of April.
Stop should be arround 52$.
Next support is somewhere near 50$ which make the sell of a PUT very attractive.
From indicator perspective only my RVGI is bullish by crossing the 0 line.

- No RSI divergences on Longer time frames (i.e Daily, weekly...)

Altria Group MO Finds Key Trendline and Fib SupportFor those of you who have been patient enough to secure a low risk entry on MO, your patience has paid off.
As you can see MO has found support at the 76.4 fib retrace and a trendline that spans back to 2008. If the fib support holds here and proceeds upward, that gives us a target of around 100% - 123% fib zone.
The price action formation is also a bull flag on the daily chart.
Of course the market is in an overall correction, so keep that in mind when placing your stop loss.
MO being tested by FDA fears and Institutional SellingIf any stock can do a fakeout, it's Altria. We've seen intense selling to where the RSI is no good. FDA pressure and fears of menthol bans accelerated the selling momentum. We broke down through the channel, furthering bear strength and then through a strong support slope. Yearly bottom of April has held. I'm seeing a bear flag, yet overlapped with a semblance of a bull flag on smaller timeframes. Until buyers can settle above 57 at a close, today could be just a small reprieve in the overall drop. Hoping for bull momentum to return and the downward slope to prove as support. February's Support slope will likely prove as strong resistance in the future. 56.34 area as current immediate resistance... A strong upward break through 57.10-57.33 will be important to reclaim trading zones.
