Are We in “Santa Claus Rally” Territory?

The markets are pulling back.

And December has never been the month to go “all-in” – at least in my experience.

So I always recommend that traders remain nimble at this time.

But I have two important things I’m looking at right now.

First, I’m keeping an eye on the SPX to see whether it enters “Santa Claus rally” territory.

Second, there’s a chart I’m looking at for a trade setup. There’s not a lot out there right now that catches my eye, but this company does.

YOUR ACTION PLAN

We have a nice setup here with Amgen (Nasdaq: AMGN). It has all the components I need for a long play: a trend, a pattern and a squeeze. I’m looking to buy either the December 16 or December 30 $285 calls on a pullback toward $282. The reason I’m suggesting two options here is that I don’t want to give myself options that are too short-dated. I want to give myself at least a week and a half. So, if AMGN doesn’t pull back until next week, I’ll just go further out and buy the month-end options. When selecting an option expiration date, this saying has always helped me – when in doubt, go further out. Basically, there is no penalty for buying options with later expiration dates… they are just a little more expensive.
