However, I want to point to two of the stocks carrying the banner for high-octane trading: Netflix (NFLX) and Tesla (TSLA). Both stocks are experiencing major breakouts. NFLX&#8217;s breakout is older and much more persistent right now. Its move has culminated in an upgrade Tuesday, June 17 by Morgan Stanley (MS) to Overweight and a $500 price target. Recent pops in Salesforce.com (CRM) and Solar City (SCTY) are similarly impressive.

Now, the nice profits from this trade are just helping nurse a short position that is now a bet that NFLX will not make new highs. As you can imagine I recycled some of my recent profits into a NEW call spread! Ditto mix on TSLA. Monday&#8217;s pop caught me flat-footed as I was getting ready to set up another hedged trade. I rushed into call options on Tuesday&#8217;s positive open without a second thought. Good thing!<\/p>\n<p>I was not fast enough to join the fun in Solar City, but I did think fast enough to look through my list of solar socks and make a trade in First Solar (FSLR).

A return to overbought will start the clock again on considering the possibilities for an extended overbought run.
