I want to look at LinkedIn ( NYSE:LNKD ). I'm not sure that I've done
[9]
any Free Chart video's on LinkedIn ( NYSE:LNKD ), I don't think so.
[13]
Here's what I've been looking for on the premium content side;
[18]
this has been doing what I
[21]
call a touch-and-go.
[25]
Use the 200-day moving averages like a reference for the
[28]
runway.
[29]
The stocks moving up, it's not
[34]
in a big downdraft like that, it just kind of starts drifting downward,
[38]
like a plane coming in for a landing. There's the runway,
[42]
and what we're looking for, we're not predicting, we are looking for it,
[46]
is a bounce off of the 200-day moving average
[51]
where the stock then trends higher. If the stock does that
[55]
then our interpretation is that this entire move here has been really, really
[61]
healthy consolidation,
[63]
we like to see this healthy consolidation here,
[66]
because then that frees the stock
[70]
to move higher. Well guess what? We haven't seen that, so this is not
[75]
a touch-and-go, this is like
[78]
Mayday, Mayday, let's close runway 12
[83]
because we just got an aircraft that crashed here.
[86]
This stock has now broken support,
[90]
the way it's going now, and the stock has been in a fairly tight trading range, not
[94]
really technically a squeeze,
[96]
but you can see it has been fairly, I was going to say
[102]
un-volatile, would it be ill-volatile?
[105]
Would it be volatility-less? The stocks been trading
[109]
without much volatility, how's that? The trading ranges have been pretty narrow.
[113]
So, with this support here, broken,
[118]
this would be the support right here,
[125]
with the support broken, man, this is a move,
[128]
and it's a move on high-volume. This is a move that could go a while,
[133]
so I would not be buying this stock. Even if the stock rallied back above 200.00, what's
[137]
happening then?
[138]
The stocks is just coming right back up into resistance, that's not going to work
[143]
for you.
[143]
So I would just stay away from LinkedIn ( NYSE:LNKD ),
[146]
and frankly, for a nimble trader, I would short this puppy right now.
[151]
If you're not so nimble then you want to wait for a little rally here
[155]
first,
[156]
and then if it rolls over then you start shorting it. But
[160]
the way this thing traded, unless there's something weird that happens
[163]
overnight,
[164]
I can see more selling, I can see more selling
[168]
at the open. I mean this just looks like it has a lot of downside
[172]
momentum.
[173]
Now I'll take the other side of that argument though, you have to be careful
[177]
about a stock
[178]
that is so obviously breaking support;
[182]
it's like everybody and his brother as long as his brother trades,
[186]
would be looking at this and say I want to short
[190]
LinkedIn ( NYSE:LNKD ), I want to sell LinkedIn ( NYSE:LNKD ).
[193]
Now if that happens, if it were to happen
[197]
at the open or something, you could get a gap down, and then the stock
[200]
start to move higher again.
[202]
But you have to watch for these obvious
[205]
trades, because if this stock does not
[209]
continue to sell, what is that
[212]
telling you? That's telling you that the selling here is pretty much over,
[217]
that's not to say that you should buy this stock and expect new highs, but you
[222]
can at least take the stock for a ride
[224]
to the upside into this resistance level, maybe $10.00 or so,
[229]
5 percent, and then look for it
[232]
time to roll over. The bottom line is, right now from what I see on this,
[237]
if you want a quote "strategy session" on LinkedIn ( NYSE:LNKD ) I would say you just want to stay
[241]
away,
[242]
if you have to make a trade I would sell it.
[245]
By the way, always use a stop on things like this;
[291]
use a position
[294]
management tool, either position size
[298]
or a stop-loss, don't just sit there and expect this thing
[302]
to do what you want to do.
