In this week's Stock Market Video, Cabot Market Letter and Cabot Top Ten Trader Editor Mike Cintolo talks about how the sellers have finally made a stand after a huge run; in his mind, that means short-term gyrations are likely, but the long-term uptrend remains intact. Stocks mentioned include: Tesla Motors (TSLA), Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN), Boeing (BA), Celgene (CELG), Netflix (NFLX), BE Aerospace (BEAV) and Cabot Oil & Gas (COG).
In this third of three videos in Cabot's stock chart school series, “How to Invest in Growth Stocks,” Cabot Market Letter editor Mike Cintolo takes you through portfolio management -- a skill that most people don't really develop and which leads to them getting sub-par returns. He discusses the concept of portfolio management in general, as well as looking at some specific trades Cabot has made in the past.

The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) closed the week within striking distance of the “fear index’s” 52-week low. While the VIX continues to grind lower, there was a VERY interesting situation in option volatility this week. Normally, when stocks and the market advance, volatility in out-of-the-money calls declines.

It’s a familiar story: you’re having dinner at a restaurant when the conversation turns to movies, and no one can remember the name of that actress, the one who was in that movie about space.

The timing model (Cabot Tides) remains unambiguously positive, with all five component indexes well above their moving averages. The 3-D timing booster is "off," so a Tides downturn would be a Sell, but that can't happen for now (except there's nothing that can't happen.)
