Terry's Tips Stock Options Trading Blog

This week we are looking at another of the Investor’s Business Daily (IBD) Top 50 List companies. We use this list in one of our portfolios to spot outperforming stocks and place spreads that profit if the momentum continues. Actually, the stock can even decline a little bit to realize the full profit. We use these ideas in one of the ten portfolios that we carry out for paying Terry’s Tips subscribers. These ten actual portfolios have enjoyed an average gain of 118% (after paying commissions) so far in 2017. It has been a very good year.

Arista Networks (ANET) Hits Fresh All-Time Highs, What’s Next?

Several analysts are optimistic about Arista Network’s future following their earnings report last week, here are two of them – Arista Networks Keeps Enjoying Soaring Sales and Why Shares of Arista Networks Are Surging Today.

ANET fell under pressure last week ahead of its earnings report, falling just over 10% in a two-day correction. The turn lower led to a break of the 20 period daily moving average as well as a rising trendline that had been in play for nearly three months. However, the stock recovered after the earnings beat and closed the week out at a fresh all-time high. Although the rising trendline is no longer in play as support, the break back above it as well as the moving average signals that buyers have regained control.

This week we are featuring another of the Investor’s Business Daily (IBD) Top 50 List companies. We use this list in one of our portfolios to identify stocks with upward momentum and place spreads that stand to profit if the momentum continues, at least a little.

Just an update – the composite average gain for our 10 Terry’s Tips actual options portfolios has now reached 102% for 2017 (after paying all commissions, of course), and we expect some fireworks this week in our two portfolios which trade FB and MA options as both companies announce earnings after the close on Wednesday.
