| LVS $37.90 |
The bear phase from Person's Proprietary Signal (pps) prompted me to close my bull position for a 13.2% gross profit over 25 calendar days, or, annualized, 192.7%. (In keeping score of my trades, I like to annualize as a way of putting all positions on a level footing.)
Most of the LVS universe remains in bull phase: The parabolic sar, the macd, the price position well above the 20-day and 200-day moving averages.
However, the Heikin-Ashi candlestick trend also turned down, lending some support to the pps signal.
The signal came as Credit Suisse began coverage of LVS with a neutral rating, which, in the inflated world of stock analysis, usually translates to "turkey".
Earnings will released for the open on Oct. 28, and at that time we'll all see whether Credit Suisse knows something that we don't.
On the Person's chart, the price dropped below the midpoint and touched the lower weekly pivot level.
Person's Table
| pps | pps open | upper pivot | lower pivot | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LVS $37.90 | $38.36 oct19 | $39.68 +4.7% | $37.57 -0.9% |
After setting a swing high on Oct. 12, the stock has yet to set a meaningful lower low. So my pure daily price analysis, LVS remains in an uptrend. For that reason, I don't yet see it as a bear play.
Reversal Levels
- $39.59, +4.5% (swing high)
- $37.90 --- You are here.
- $36.38, -4.0% (20-day moving average)
- $35.42, -6.5% (recent low)
- $24.49, -35.4% (200-day moving average)
For slow traders relying on the 50-day / 200-day moving average crossovers, the stock remain in bull phase, as it has been since July 2009.
Slow Trading
| phase | ma50 direction | ma200 | ma50 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LVS | $24.48 | $32.55 |
Bottom line: I remain bullish overall on LVS, but am quite happy as a fast trader to exit before earnings, in case there's a nasty little surprise over the horizon. I've not elected to open a bear play, and won't consider without evidence of a downtrend, such as a persistant drop below the 20-day moving average.
