The 5 Best Stocks to Trade This Week

Read MoreHide Full Article

Happy Monday everybody! Coming up the week of April 9, 2018, we have what I like to call the soft start to earnings season. Every season, this is marked by the big bank stocks kicking off. Most of the action happens on Friday before the market opens with JPMorgan Chase (JPM - Free Report) , Wells Fargo (WFC - Free Report) , and Citigroup (C - Free Report) . Earlier in the week we will see reports from Delta Airlines (DAL - Free Report) as well as retailer Bed, Bath, and Beyond . Let’s hope the 20% only works at the store and not on the stock.

If you’re looking for the best stocks to trade this week, check out the video above where I, Dave Bartosiak, walk through the charts on these five stocks, looking for the best setups for the coming week. Long-term investors will also find value as I uncover earnings trends underlying each of these stocks. Pullbacks following earnings could be the perfect opportunity for value investors looking to add to positions while breakouts could offer momentum traders swing trades to profit from. A little something for everyone, along with live chat to answer your questions.
