[Trade alert] The Rip Goes On

October 29, 2017 by Don Roth

Price action is “risk on” as they say. It’s time to get more aggressive.

But first, let’s get rid of XLP, the only current loser in our open portfolio.

SPDRs Select Sector Consumer Staples ETF (XLP) daily

XLP...2017_10_27d
(click chart to enlarge)

​​​​​​​
Recommended two weeks ago and down about 2.5%. This defensive trade is off due to support violation. Looks like money is flowing out of toilet paper and into toilet paper delivery companies…think AMZN…the one that got away…for now.

Sell XLP.
