Today, SPX managed to close just above 2000!  Biotechs continue to attract investors as they speculate on what/when the next merger is!  Over the weekend, Roche announced a $8.3 billion deal to buy ITMN, or at $74/share a 38% over Friday's closing price!  Biotech stocks have been really strong this week, pushing the biotech index to above 3100.  IBB, the Nasdaq biotech ETF, vaulted to a new all-time high!  AMGN and GILD have been on fire!!  BIIB has been kind of quiet and could see a new breakout soon!  I also like VRTX, MDVN, LLY, INCY, and ILMN.  VRTX looks especially good! 

We locked in profits from some nice trades in the past 2 days, including a +131% gain from CLVS Sept calls (Our "Ecstatic Plays" have been doing exceptionally well lately!), and an overnight +61% win from AMZN Sept calls.  JKS Sept 27 calls was a patient play, even though JKS took a quick fall after earnings:

  • 12:34 | Ecstatic Plays CLVS ($50.00) Sold to Close 09C45 Sep 45 calls, at $6.00 +131%
  • 12:28 | HappyTrading AMZN ($343.70) Sold to Close 09C335 Sep 335 calls, at $12.90 +61%

The Dow was up +29.83 points; SPX added +2.1 points; Nasdaq gained +13.29 points:

BTK (biotech) continued to lead the sectors.  FDN (internet) was strong as well.  XME (metals and mining) was up +1.69%.

SPX

SPX gained +2.1 points to close at 2000.02, just above 2000.

Nasdaq

Nasdaq added +13.29 points to close at 4570.64.  Its daily MAs and MACD moved higher.

Stocks are really strong!  With SPX at 2000, things can probably use a pause.  With both SPX and the Dow at new all-time highs, it begs the question, "Will Nasdaq revisit 5000, the high set back in year 2000?"  I think it's very likely.  Biotech stocks have been pushing higher and higher.  AAPL is at a new all-time high and is preparing to release new products.  Semiconductors are at their highest levels in more than a decade.  Internet stocks are still strong as social networking stocks attract more investors; and, these companies are really making money, unlike the ones during the internet boom back in 2000.  TWTR has made a new all-time high.  YELP is on the rise again, after the recent drop from false earnings reaction.  LNKD and NFLX both are looking to go higher.  GOOG and PCLN are lagging a bit this week, but, still strong.  FB is about to break out again!

We'll certainly be watching these stocks as we had just scored a nice trade on AMZN!  With biotechs, it may be interesting to trade IBB, as options are moving quite well.  From the looks of it, biotechs could continue to go higher!
