Oct 31 2018 Pro Pre market Prep



Good morning
October will be over today and that could be a good thing for equities. There were a couple of sectors that caught my attention yesterday with potentially bullish reversal engulfing candles. I mentioned this weekend that I would be watching the sectors that started dropping first when this correction began. XHB and XLB both had strong reversal candles yesterday along with the IWM. I am not suggesting that this correction is over but if we can get some follow we may be looking at the start of a snap back rally for the near term. I do think we will likely retest the lows that have recently been put in but that may take weeks or months to occur.
Equities are gapping in premarket, do not chase, have a plan and know your risk reward.

KTOS Bounced right off the 200 day the sector is under pressure but could be a long term hold or swing consideration 11.00- 11.70 range could be ideal starter entry area they report earnings next week there have been some recent insider buys fro the 10-to 12.70 range there was also a recent insider sell of some size in the 13 range.. patience with this one will be needed

CZR Full disclosure I added to my long term hold yesterday @ 8 they have earnings coming up next week they have rumors of being and acquisition target already had one offer for over 13 Eventually I think they get taken out but if not I like what is happening in Vegas and think CZR is undervalued
