Momentum Trader Alert Analysis

Recommendation

Buy Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (LYV) at market today and place your stop at $37.90.

If you want to play the options, I recommend the LYV January 2018 $42.00 calls (LYV180119C00042000), which last traded at $2.04 and expires on Jan. 19.

 Portfolio Update

Sell one-half of your AON October $135 calls, which last traded at $10.60, for a 81.20% gain. Hold on to the rest of the options for potentially bigger gains ahead.

With Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile S.A. (SQM) soaring 19.86% this past week, raise your stop in the stock to $57.30 to lock in a 20% gain.

Raise your stop in Altbaba (AABA) to $63.50 to lock in at least a 10% gain in the stock.
