Monday will likely be a slightly down day, so get in below 18.39 on limit order and solid long hold with 5.5% dividend yield, which has an 8.9% growth rate the last 5-years. Div. payout is typically the 2nd week of Nov. and likely why the jump today. Or buy-in at market and set some for low buy-in.

VYMI Offering Opportunity for Income InvestorsThere's no shortage of ETFs that focus on international, high dividend paying stocks, but one that I use in my Vanguard account is VYMI. Additionally, the technical setup looks to be providing a great risk-reward entry point.
The fund facts? It holds about 532 stocks, most of which are in Europe and Asia, but it has stocks from pretty much every country on the planet that pays a solid dividend. It's not a top-heavy fund either, which I like for diversification principles. The top 10 holdings account for about 17.5% of total holdings. Names like Nestle, Novartis, HSBC, Toyota, and Royal-Dutch Shell are among the top ten, so there's some good quality holdings here. At current prices, we're getting a 3.8% dividend to own this fund.
Technically, the shares are testing a previous breakout level around $61.00 (shown on this weekly chart via the white line). If you look at the daily chart, we've now tested - and held - this support three times in the past few months. I've added to my position on each test and am looking to add more. Also worth noting is that the MACD appears to be turning bullish, and the RSI has already shown improvement (especially on the daily chart).
Should the global economy falter, a stop-loss at $59 would be fitting for those wishing to minimize risk. However, additional support lies just beneath at $57, so this may be best left alone unless we all hop in the hand basket to hell.
Happy trading!
Conoco Phillips cranking oil and gas - 1M chartCOP riding the cheap energy supply of LNG with technology and gas sales (LNG, CNG).
Looks like good buy based on trend and MACD for next year for those looking for safe haven. Dividend could be 4x higher. 1.5% Dividend
LNG DLNG SHI NEXT TELL CLNE
LNG expands to 600 x its volume to make natural gas, so as compressed liquid cheap to transport provided storage insulation, most good for 6-8 mo.
LNG offers 30% reduction in CO2 over coal and oil energy fuel sources, so developing countries will be using for forseeable decade until solar, wind, EV, hydro, wavepower are utilized.
EU will be sourcing more LNG per recent trade discussions. Safe from US-CH. China just signed agreement with QATAR Gas and another buy if it goes IPO. QATAR wanted
to be more public since 2014, but haven't seen it.
ORCL - Oracle stock dominated by mobile architecture JavascriptORCL
Oracle (large cap.) offers a 1.59% dividend with current stock prices.
Dividend has not been raised since end early 2017 and overdue.
Top Oracle Software Exec. taking leave of absence per WSJ 9.7.18
Oracle 5G CUPS is new control and user plan software architecture partially introduced in 4G & to be fully integrated in 5G and help support cloud data integration & support SaaS.
* Dividend $0.19/Q, or 0.78/yr, which at $47.81 is a 1.59% yield.
* 5G will generate profits in late 2019 and slightly earlier for SaaS services
* Key markets healthcare, transportation, blazing internet, smart cities, energy security, aka billions of devices coming on-line
* In Aug. a pension fund started lawsuite with Oracle, accusing them of farbricating cloud sales and creating unstable sales model. In reviewing their chart, they are just like the spikes of major telecomm stocks associated with 1G-2G-PDA-3G-4G-4G LTE and soon 5G in 2019-2020.
* The past year was anything but stable for ORCL, which is more like telecomm stocks than IT/Software stocks.

ETP: High Yield Spec long I think it is about time for gas pipes to get some love. ETP has tested the 78.6% retracement from the 2008 low 4x and is building a nice double bottom with extremely high volumes. The long-term secular downtrend is clearly broken, with the stock paying 12.5% and pipeline capacity running out, this is a good a time to put in a long position for ETP.
T- Making a bounce off the trendline.I made this trendline pattern in November 2017 when one of my clients wanted to buy T and we bought and I advised on the trade to sell in late January when T touched the top of the trend line. Once again, T has given a golden opportunity for a 4% to 6% run between the current level to the top of the trend line. A 6% div that pays you to wait on the trade form is not a bad incentive either.
Cheers!
IBM Pullback?In my humble opinion there was a sort of overreaction triggered by short selling yesterday upon IBM's earnings call. Numbers were not great and guidance was lowered. Nevertheless, the blue chip has created a stronger position to capture growth in the IT business related to cloud computing, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence technologies (15% yoy growth).
I predict a short-term movement upwards shortly after the consolidation period or even today. Do not miss the rally to the support/demand zone, which serves as moderate price level for the IBM stock. The average lowest price target by analysts is $152.00.
However, there is also a strong possibility of decline if bears attack again. Evaluate a stop loss that take into account a false break out scenario that may likely bust the upward breakout in direction to the support zone.

CBRL Broadening Top and Upcoming Dividend! (Price target: ~$176)The Broadening Top pattern forms when the price progressively makes higher highs (1, 3) and lower lows (2, 4) following two widening trend lines. The price is expected to move up or down past the pattern depending on which line is broken first. A bit of a toss up since the broadening top formation appears much more frequently at tops than at bottoms, and therefore usually has bearish implications. In this case, however, we see a strong up-trend with an Average Directional Index just shy of the 25 mark. Set limit order above market price to be sure we are looking at a bull broadening top, or for added risk buy the retracement when RSI corrects below 70. For best results take 50% position at each. Consider stop-loss below breakout price.
Added confidence from the fact that Cracker Barrel is recording a $1.20/share dividend on Jan 11th, issued on Feb 5th. Dividend hunters could help drive this trend up. CBRL reports earnings 02/20 BMO and Estimize revenue expectations are 0.77% higher than Wall Street's.
