Strike

NFP & Port Strikes: Why Jobs Matter This Week Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) are projected to rise by 140,000 in September, matching August's pace and pushing the three-month average job gains to the weakest level since mid-2019. The NFP data is due this Friday. At the same time, a major labor disruption is underway. Dockworkers at 14 key ports, handling roughly half of U.S. trade, have launched an indefinite strike. The walkout could disrupt trade and strain the economy ahead of the presidential election and the crucial holiday shopping season. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee expressed concern that a prolonged strike could worsen supply chain bottlenecks, exacerbate inflation, and alter expectations for the Federal Reserve's next move on interest rates.

CNI Transportation Infrastructure Swing LongCNI is a Canadian Rail company. With the possible strike in the US, this company can help take goods from China to the east part of North America. Technically it is a solid performer with good recent earnings. This is a slow but steady mover low beta ignores the general stock market and a recession will have little impact. In the past month no matter any bear market rally overall, CNI has had relative strength. I will go long with a far-out call option to grind out some profit with low risk of unexpected volatility. option.

New strikes = bad newsDespite the fact that GM is expectin things to be back to normal in a few more weeks, the strike cost General Motors has already reached $2 billion in production and cost employees nearly $1 billion in wages. One of the custimers said one vehicle was in the shop for 28 days waiting on one part to come in. Quick reminder: United Automobile Workers (UAW) has called strike against General Motors on September 15. The union represents some 46,000 auto workers who are striking for “fundamental rights of working-class people of this nation,” according to UAW vice president, Terry Dittes. The decision to strike came after a meeting Sunday morning at GM’s Detroit headquarters where nearly all of the 175 local union leaders present voted to strike. The strike does not affect Ford or Fiat Chrysler, which extended contracts with workers before the meeting...

Citigroup (C) A Great Candidate For A Downside SpreadAlthough the banking sector has largely had a rally since the Presidential election, regulatory headwinds and near-term fundamental outlook and projections have seemed bleak for Citigroup’s growth potential.  Long-term, the stock is a great purchase at a somewhat discounted price to its recent trading, but for our swing strategy, the latest break to the downside into a possible downtrend or consolidation is an opportunity for us. If you’re looking for a 1:1 risk/reward trade with a skewed probability curve starting at roughly 62% chance of success to earn 100% ROI, then Citigroup is a gem in this turbulent market.  Actually, we found this trade while scanning due to possibly having to close for a loss on our recent Alphabet (GOOG) trade due to management’s screw-up on an epic scale regarding extremist videos and advertisements on Youtube . Anyways, here’s the trade we see: Current stock price $58.46 Buy X Puts; 13 Apr 17 Exp; 58.50 Strike Sell X Puts; 13 Apr 17 Exp; 58 Strike Max Return on Risk/ROI: ~100% Fun times.

Copper huge long opportunity!If weekly candle closes at 2.67+, the weekly downtrend ( from 2013 !!) will be broken, and with the 4H stoch-rsi turning up, its very possible. The weekly Stoch RSI is also turning back up, so momentum is yet to come. Daily indicators are neutral. Right now, the big resistance area is obviously 2.74. IF we pass this level the algo's will probably pop it to $2.8+ very quick. Copper has been consolidating between $2.5-2.7 for the last 2 months and looks primed for a breakout to $3. Combined with Trump's pledge for more infrastructure and his wall, demand will only go up. Short term, union workers at BHP Escondida, the world's largest copper mine in Chile, are also likely to strike next week over their low pay, which would be a catalyst for the breakout (thru supply disruption). Here is an article about it: www.mining.com Am currently long 5 contracts but might reduce because of possibly scary weekend gap. Good luck :)
