Starwood Hotels Is Ready To Move

Posted: 24 Jan 2013 04:39 PM PST

Starwood Hotels & Resorts (HOT) is testing significant resistance, and could be on the verge of a major move ahead. Here's why…
Resistance at $61

The daily chart shows HOT is currently testing a significant area of resistance at the $61 level. As a matter of fact, this level has been resistance for two years, and every test at this level has led to several stern rejections.
In 2012, the average move away from the $61 level was 20%, so we could be on the verge of a similar move very … [visit DailyMarkets.com to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards or Best Credit Cards

Hot Option Plays: The Tale Of Two Markets After Hours

Posted: 24 Jan 2013 03:17 PM PST

Cusick Corner 01-24-2013 After Hours
Today was the tale of two markets. The Tech sector was hit, AAPL down -12.35% which pulled down QQQ -1.38% while the blue chips were up on good claims data, DJX +.33%.

With Volatility right off its lows and earnings coming in mixed, the fear to chase at this stage is leaving quite a few … [visit DailyMarkets.com to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards or Best Credit Cards

Starting with the 2011 breakout above 1,220, there have been four similar breakouts as seen on the weekly chart:

I connected the breakout high to the absolute price high of the rally in an attempt to compare price movement and time … [visit DailyMarkets.com to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards or Best Credit Cards
