Chart of the Week: Brookfield Renewable Partners (BEP) by Ian Cooper
Weakness in Brookfield Renewable Partners (BEP) looks interesting.
Over the last few days, the BEP stock dropped from about $30 to $26.76, and has become severely, technically oversold. The stock fell on reports the company is being probed by Britain’s Competition and Markets Authority over an acquisition.
Last October, Brookfield Renewable formed a partnership with Cameco Corp. to acquire Westinghouse Electric for $7.9 billion. Once the acquisition is completed, Brookfield Renewable will own a 51% stake in Westinghouse. Cameco would own about 49%. Given the size of the acquisition, Cameco says that it’s part of the standard approval process.
That clarifying news could help BEP recover from its recent and undeserved low.
When you’re trading options as a retail investor, you can’t rely on pricing models alone. If you believe, for example, that the March 2000 call is undervalued and therefore a good buy, it’s not enough. As a retail investor, you’re looking at more than just the relative value of an option, hoping to turn a quick profit on a put or a call, buying an option at, say, $3 and selling it at $3.75. Retail investors must have a longer time horizon than floor traders. As I jokingly tell investors at my seminars, floor traders like me have about a 15-second attention span. It doesn’t matter what I’m doing, I can only focus for 15 seconds.
That usually gets a laugh out of people, but a floor trader (remember the emphasis is on TRADER, not INVESTOR) is competing against dozens of other traders to hedge each purchase or sale as quickly as possible. Why? Because the quickest traders will remember the resting orders in the brokers deck from 10 minutes to two hours ago and hit those orders as the market rallies or dives. Once the resting orders are gone, the last report is to hedge with the underlying security and when the stock specialist or Nasdaq market maker sees hundreds or thousands of shares of buyers or sellers hitting the market they run. Being 15 seconds late in my world is an eternity. The complete picture of the stock can change in half that time, so speed is of the essence.

The first profit opportunity we will review is in DAKT, or Daktronics Inc. DAKT has strong leadership positions in, and a supplier of electronic scoreboards, computer-programmable displays, and large screen video displays and control systems.
The monthly chart shows that DAKT has been above the moving average line all year. If the stock price is above the moving average line, the trend is up.
The daily chart shows that DAKT has been forming a bullish pattern of higher highs and higher lows since December. The bullish pattern points to a further advance.
We recommend buying DAKT stock at the current price level.

6) Some profit examples are based on hypothetical or simulated trading. This means the trades are not actual trades and instead are hypothetical trades based on real market prices at the time the recommendation is disseminated. No actual money is invested, nor are any trades executed. Hypothetical or simulated performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. Also, the hypothetical results do not include the costs of subscriptions, commissions, or other fees. Because the trades underlying these examples have not actually been executed, the results may understate or overstate the impact of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading services in general are also designed with the benefit of hindsight, which may not be relevant to actual trading. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. TradeWins makes no representations or warranties that any account will or is likely to achieve profits similar to those shown.
7) No representation is being made that you will achieve profits or the same results as any person providing testimonial. No representation is being made that any person providing a testimonial is likely to continue to experience profitable trading after the date on which the testimonial was provided, and in fact the person providing the testimonial may have experienced losses.
8) The author experiences are not typical. The author is an experienced investor and your results will vary depending on risk tolerance, amount of risk capital utilized, size of trading position and other factors.
