Stocks Near Big Breakout, Tesla Shorts Can’t Win, Booking May Fall 12%
MICHAEL Kramer AND THE CLIENTS OF MOTT CAPITAL OWN SHARES OF NFLX AND TSLA
[widget id=”text-19″]
S&P 500
The good news, the S&P 500 finished above 2,853 today, at 2,857. The next hurdle for the index is to take out the highs around 2,875. Then a move likely to 2,900 and beyond. In fact, it could even result in a bit of melt-up pushing the index on to 3,000. Unless you are new here, you know I have been calling for the S&P 500 to rise to 3,000 since late last year and even since the end of the third quarter for 2017. I still see no reason why that can’t happen, and soon.

Netflix
Netflix had a nice bounce back today, rising to $327. But noticed where the stock failed on the chart today, right at resistance around $332. That price will be crucial tomorrow to know if today’s rally was a one day bounce or a sign of a turn higher in the stock. A rise above $332 likely sends the stock back on towards $357.

Amazon
Amazon fell again today, and is stepping it way lower, and continues to look as though $1840 is still in play.

Tesla
If you are a Tesla short, you have to be pulling your hair out. Tesla was down by $20 bucks in pre-market trading, albeit on no volume. But still, the stock managed to stage a comeback and finish up on the day at $309.
The stock bounced when it was supposed to off the uptrend, using the Log chart. I will repeat it, in case I haven’t said it enough, for the stock to go lower there needs to be more than short-sellers. Either the shorts need to put more pressure on the stock, or they are going to need real sellers to step in. At this point do not think that is going happen.

The cost to borrow shares of Tesla to then go short is around 3 percent. There is likely still plenty of stock to lend, which means the shorts have a lot more work to do.

Months ago I highlighted why the shorts can’t win in Tesla, from January and bunch of other thoughts. An Intelligent Way Of Looking At Tesla’s Results
Booking/Expedia/TripAdvisor
I got a request to take a look at Booking.com, and from a fundamental standpoint, I can’t say I know the story super well. Based on the estimates and growth rates, it is hard to argue shares are expensive at 18.4 times next years earnings. Earnings growth in 2019 is forecast at 13 percent on 12 percent revenue growth. TripAdvisor is far more expensive at more than 33 times. Meanwhile, Expedia trades at 20 times and offers the best growth profile.

EXPE PE Ratio (Forward 1y) data by YCharts
The chart on Booking doesn’t look particularly strong. I could make a solid case for shares to decline to roughly $1.630 from $1,860, a drop of about 12 percent.

10-Year
The moment of truth is coming for the 10-year treasury butting up against support at an uptrend. Should yields break 2.80, they may have much further to fall to 2.6 percent.

That is going to be it today, good luck tomorrow.

Michael Kramer is the Founder of Mott Capital and the creator of Reading the Markets.
I started learning to invest when I was 16 years old. At 40, I have pieced together a long career on Wall Street, working as an analyst, and a domestic and international equity trader at two multi-billion dollar equity firms.
I started Mott Capital in 2014 to follow a passion and dream of being in control of my career path.
The idea behind Reading the Markets was to help both individual and institutional investors benefit from my experience in the business and my unique approach to dissecting stocks and the markets, which helped me become a great trader.
Reading the Markets is unique, in that the video does not only serve as a means to deliver the content but to interact, making it a personal learning experience, while also showing the user how I go about finding my research and how you can use the process to do your work.
I want this product not only to be profitable and enjoyable but also affordable.
