Are you a coffee drinker? Of course you are, all stock investors need that java juice
But are you familiar with the invisible “Coffee Corridor”? Also called “The Bean Belt”
It’s an imaginary line that circles the globe from the Tropic of Cancer to the Tropic of Capricorn. 17 nations fall upon its path but we as Americans primarily get our coffee from only 3 of those countries

Coffee beans taste different coming from different countries and even regions
Americans buy 1.5 Million Metric Tons of coffee per year and REGARDLESS of what it says on that fancy bag we just bought its not always fresh> What happens is its bought in giant bulk, shipped here, then stored in warehouses as its sold through out the year…

Trust me, just trust me, the coffee in Colombia tastes about 30 times fresher than store bought we get here sometimes. It’s not even on the same level
In Colombia Juan Valdez is the Cadillac of coffee, its the “gold standard”
Juan Valdez is as close to fresh / fresh as we can get here in America…

Some stocks are moving here, some are not.. Lets take a look at the movers we want what’s fresh
This time last Sunday I said this::::::::::::::
~~Traders allow me to introduce our newest BFF $CASY ( ▲ 0.48% ) ~~

Guess what? CASY didn’t disappoint as it closed the week up 7.85% 😁 😁 😁 
When I shared last Sunday price was at $595.00, it opened on Monday there
My price target for the week was $620.00
When it closed this week up above $640.00 I was one happy trader
On Tuesday I shared a screenshot with some of my Options on it up over 177%
Those grew much larger at the end of the week

My “trader gut” tells me that this will become like GE and JPM to us, we could be working with this one for a long time to come
Let’s not get cocky, it’s still a stock, not a promise… And a pullback to Support to test the bottom of its new box isn’t unfathomable. One thing of note however is that on Friday it closed up at the top of it’s trading range and it still looks bullish on the daily chart
Here’s this weeks chart

We need to talk about IWM and how it closed the week well above 2% when the other indexes didn’t.. That my astute trader friends is called “rotation”
There was money made last week, maybe just not in what most are used to
Fresh names, fresh plays
Long time friends of ours COST and WMT both had good weeks
I whole heartedly stand by my post last week about NVDA
Just bc tech is on standby at the moment doesn’t mean a breakout can’t be in the making
And the numbers are showing us that there is one building up

We here at theoptiosncoach.net are going to continue looking for those fresh plays this week as we monitor the buildup in tech… We’ll most likely be taking NVDA again this week as it’s bouncing off of the 20 Day EMA here on the weekly chart

Here’s the gang this week
$AMZN ( ▼ 0.31% ) Weekly -3.34%
$CASY ( ▼ 1.0% ) Weekly +7.85% 😁 
$CAT ( ▲ 1.48% ) Weekly +4.74%
$COST ( ▼ 0.57% ) Weekly +4.19%
$GE ( ▲ 0.41% ) Weekly +1.10%
$GOOG ( ▲ 1.57% ) Weekly +0.36%
$HD ( ▲ 0.72% ) Weekly +1.48%
$JPM ( ▲ 1.12% ) Weekly -5.08% Banks took a hit last week with Trump threatening J-Pow and the FED with legal action, good news? It seems price is stable at the 20 Day EMA for now
$NVDA ( ▼ 0.64% ) Weekly +0.74%
$WMT ( ▼ 0.08% ) Weekly +4.51% on a breakout Gap that happened last Monday

$META ( ▲ 2.06% ) is out for now and it did close down over 5% on the week
$TSLA ( ▼ 3.09% ) while not be traded by us at the moment is still hanging around


Happy MLK Day to all
And go get out in nature, the days still young
