These companies, currently part of ARK Invest's holdings, are identified as being in a confirmed Stage 2 uptrend, indicating strong bullish trends according to Mark Minervini's methodology. This analysis will highlight key sectors represented, providing a broad understanding of the market dynamics at play.
Technology Sector
Companies like NASDAQ: NASDAQ:AMD (Advanced Micro Devices Inc) NASDAQ: NASDAQ:MSFT (Microsoft) NASDAQ: NASDAQ:NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) and NASDAQ: NASDAQ:GOOG (Alphabet) underscore the significant emphasis on technology, particularly in semiconductors, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence. These firms are at the forefront of innovation, driving trends in digital transformation, and represent strong growth opportunities as they capitalize on increasing demand for technology solutions.
Healthcare and Biotechnology
NASDAQ: NASDAQ:IONS (Ionis Pharmaceuticals) NASDAQ: NASDAQ:RXRX (Recursion Pharmaceuticals Inc) NYSE: NYSE:NET (Cloudflare) and NASDAQ: NASDAQ:VRTX (Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated) highlight the focus on healthcare and biotechnology. This sector benefits from ongoing advancements in medical research, genetic sequencing, and personalized medicine.

Lockheed Martin - Great Buying Opportunity LMT is getting pressure downwards however I am bullish on the company and stock. I believe the stock is currently undervalued considering the Biden administrations policies and what it would mean for defence stocks. This price level has supported the stock price and I believe it will breakout upwards from the descending resistance line. Either way, considering the support line, it is a good reward for risk to buy the stock with a SL below the support zone.

$KTOS Set To Keep Climbing On Iran Fears$KTOS looks set to keep climbing as investors rush into defense-related stocks. Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. provides mission critical products, solutions, and services in the United States. The company operates through two segments, Kratos Government Solutions and Unmanned Systems. The Kratos Government Solutions segment offers microwave electronic products, satellite communications, training systems, modular systems, and defense and rocket support services. The Unmanned Systems segment provides unmanned aerial systems, and unmanned ground and seaborne systems. It serves national security related agencies, the department of defense, intelligence agencies, and classified agencies, as well as international government agencies and domestic and international commercial customers. The company has a strategic collaboration with AeroVironment, Inc. to develop and demonstrate integrated and operationally effective multi-domain unmanned system solutions for near-peer and denied environments. Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. was founded in 1994 and is headquartered in San Diego, California.
Defense stocks (BATS:ITA) rally following the U.S. airstrike that killed Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, with the case for more defense spending likely to strengthen as conflict in the Middle East ramps up.
"If Middle East conflict were to ratchet up... we think it could be tougher for Democratic Party electoral candidates to argue against a stronger defense budget in 2020," Citi analyst Jonathan Raviv wrote last week.
U.S. defense stocks could again outperform in 2020 as the group typically does well in an election year, notes Buckingham's Richard Safran.
The S&P Aerospace & Defense Select ETF (NYSEARCA:XAR) has returned nearly 29% over the past year, even better than the 25% gain on the S&P 500 during the period.
"Let this serve as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD. The USA wants no more threats!" President Trump wrote on Twitter.
"The United States just spent Two Trillion Dollars on Military Equipment. We are the biggest and by far the BEST in the World! If Iran attacks an American Base, or any American, we will be sending some of that brand new beautiful equipment their way...and without hesitation!"
On Saturday evening, a rocket fell inside Baghdad’s heavily-fortified Green Zone near the U.S. Embassy, another hit the nearby Jadriya neighborhood and two more rockets were fired at the Balad air base north of the city, but no one was killed.
Increased military spending could make defense stocks a winning trade once again in 2020. The iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF (BATS:ITA) has rallied more than 70% since Trump was elected on Nov. 8, 2016, while the S&P 500 is up around 50% in that time.
As always, use protective stops and trade with caution.
Good luck to all!
Kratos 7-6-19 Weekly ChartUpside:
- It appears over the period of several years a large cup is forming on the weekly chart. The left side of the cup is just above $30, leaving upside from the $24 current price.
Downside:
- Weekly volume is decreasing, notably this most recent week having very little volume (albeit a holiday week) suggesting buyers may be drying up
- RSI is well above 70, a traditional signal of an overbought signal
- OBV trend indicator appears to be lagging, concurring with the decreased volume despite significant price appreciation
Kratos is a defense contractor company specializing in unmanned aerial drones and other electronic services. The defense sector may be volatile with the upcoming democratic debates if the topic of defense spending is discussed. However, geopolitical events including unrest in the middle east (Iran) continues, defense companies may continue to run.
Kratos | Bullish correctionKTOS has had a huge run lately and sometimes its good to ring the register. To watch for future defense contracts for Kratos, check out this site.
Technicals:
Pattern suggests KTOS has ran its 5-wave sequence.

upside potential $26. watch for sharp selloff if this is the case.
on a pullback, support levels I will be watching are $22->$20->then $18 (look at chart for measured levels to the cent)
Fibonacci extension usually extends between 1.27 -- 1.414 from lows. We are there NOW.

BULLISH SECTOR! HUGE CONTRACTS! BUYOUT COMING!KRATOS DEFENSE & SECURITY SOLUTIONS
This is a rare opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a potentially MASSIVE run to between $20 and $30 a share especially with all the turmoil in the world combined with a massive multi-billion dollar increase in Military Spending by this administration.
KTOS, within the last few months, has landed gigantic contracts, one of the contracts could fetch the company upwards of $10 BILLION in equipment/service revenue.
Investors Business Daily ranks KTOS extremely HIGH:
E.P.S: 76 (Anywhere between 75 to 99 is a solid company/e.p.s rating)
Group RS Rating: A-
Accumulation/Distribution Rating: B+
Composite Rating: 89
Timeliness Rating: A
Institutional Ownership: 90.86%
On 12/06/2018, just 11 days ago, a buyout rumor hit the wires and the stock spiked.
Since that rumor, the stock has settled back down.
This company CANNOT and we think WILL NOT last by itself without being purchased by another larger company.
Our contact on Wall Street tells us talks are ongoing for a full takeover at between $20 and $25 a share.
Go back and look at the recent contracts and the value of them within the last few months, you will be amazed.
We finished adding to our large position today.
2.5 Million Shares Long
Average Cost: $12.44
THE STOCK IS A BARGAIN AT CURRENT LEVELS!
Trade Idea Of The Week In KTOS!Please note that I am a swing trader. When I enter a position I am looking to hold anywhere from 1 day to 3 months depending on the momentum, but the average is around 7 market days for my hold time. I think it is important to know how we're looking to trade this as different strategies will provide different results even on the same stocks. Here are some quick bullet points on why I like this stock for this week:
-The aerospace and defense sector is looking extremely strong right now (although somewhat extended like the rest of the market)
-The monthly, weekly, and daily charts all look coiled and ready to go higher
-Price looks to be firing out of a squeeze at longterm support
-Volume is picking up nicely
Remember to always trade within your system and trade what you see, not what you hear, feel, or fear.
Best of luck!

$KTOS Best Value Buy Opportunity PotentialKTOS has gotten a lot of attention on television lately, but we don't think it's buy at the moment. Fundamentally, the company's exposure in Unmanned systems as well as Directed Energy makes them a contender long-term, as these are the two fastest growing subsectors within future defense capabilities. The latest news exposure and positive earnings news last quarter blew the stock up, but we maintain the opinion that major profit taking on a relatively risky stock will drive the price downward in the short term and allow for a buy opportunity for a long term hold.
