Back on October 29, we posted a chart and trade set-up on the Morgan Stanley China A Shares Fund (CAF), in anticipation of business growth and profits emanating from mainland Chinese companies, in particular those that serve or will serve the enormous middle-class consumer.
This anticipation was evident not only from the macro picture but from the giant base formation developing in CAF chart.
We issued a trade alert in CAF at 24.00, and were able in just a little over a month yield in excess of 25% as we took the profit on Friday December 5 at 30.77.
That's certainly not the last we'll see in trading CAF, which we expect to be re-entering on weakness.

More Top Calls From Mike
This past Monday, July 15, right after the opening bell, Mike Paulenoff cautioned our members about the technical setup in TSLA (Tesla), writing:"TSLA is in the grasp of a corrective period off of last Thurs (7/11) high at 271.00 that hit an initial low at 231.52 last Friday (7/12). The big rebound off of 231.52 to 262.72 during this AM's pre-market trading has the right look of an "intervening bounce" between two distinct corrective declines (the first being 271 to 231.52).
This week's selection for our Top Call -- VZ (Verizon Communications) -- is less a function of its recent success and more a reflection of Mike's technical setup work that projects gains in the days and weeks ahead. On June 17, one of our MPTrader members (FJB) alerted us to his fundamental work on VZ. After seeing his positive comments, Mike Paulenoff posted the following technical interpretation of the pattern setup:"... somewhere above 36.
On the morning of June 20, Mike Paulenoff posted a heads-up about AMD to MPTrader members, writing:"AMD has been upgraded this AM by Piper Sandler with a Target Price of 175. Piper reiterated its OverWeight rating and has made AMD its top big-cap pick for the remainder of 2024. Technically, AMD has its challenges and its work cut out for it to climb to Piper's 175 target. My attached 4-hour chart setup argues that for starters, AMD needs to climb above 158.
On the afternoon of May 7, 2024, ahead of earnings the next morning, this is what I discussed with MPTrader members about a forthcoming opportunistic technical set in UBER (Uber Technologies):UBER reports earnings tomorrow morning before the opening bell. My Big Picture setup suggests strongly that the bull phase that commenced in June 2022 at 19.90 still has unfinished business on the upside into the 90-100 target window.
This coming week is filled with consequential macro and micro "events," such as NVDA's 10 for 1 stock split, CPI, PPI, and TSLA's annual meeting, during which shareholders will vote to approve or reject Elon Musk's 2018, $56 billion pay package.Arguably, the most significant "event" for the technology sector, in particular, and for the major equity indices is Apple Inc.'s WWDC Conference, which begins tomorrow.
