Buy on the Dip Prospects: May 22 Edition
Below is a look at ETFs that currently offer attractive buying opportunities. The ETFs included in this list are rated as buy candidates for two reasons. First, each of these funds is deemed to be in an uptrend based on the fact that its 50-day moving average is above its 200-day moving average, which are popular indicators for gauging long-term and medium-term trends, respectively. Second, each of these ETFs is also trading below its five-day moving average, thereby offering a near-term 'buy on the dip' opportunity, given the longer-term uptrend at hand. Note that this prospects list also features a liquidity screen by excluding ETFs with average trading volumes below the one million shares mark. As always, investors of all experience levels are advised to use stop-loss orders and practice disciplined profit-taking techniques.

Jim Cramer: The Forbidden City of Stock Sectors
It's a rare market where we, literally, write off a huge percentage of stocks that we would normally want to buy. It pays sometimes to just tick down what can't be bought right here and why and how that can turn because right now there is a shortage of buyable stocks that allow us to take a nap. Sleeping through the night is out of the question given our president and the trade war with the Chinese.

After NVDA Stock Earnings, $200 Is Within Reach
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) reported earnings last night and investors loved them. NVDA stock spiked 7%… then faded back to red. This is more likely due to overall stock market malaise than Nvidia disappointment, however. We are still dealing with geopolitical headlines a major economic war between the U.S. and China.Source: via NvidiaAs of this writing, NVDA had turned green again, up about 1%.The NVDA options markets had priced in a +/- $12 move today and the after hour spike perfectly took the stock to the upper edge of that limit. The open interest in the options markets also suggested upside pressure with resistance this week at $173 and that was exactly where it faded. So the overnight action unfolded exactly as planned. Now the bulls need some follow through as the market shakes the overnight jitters off. And the geopolitical headlines need to cooperate.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * 5 Service Stocks That Can Win the Trade War -- According to Goldman Sachs These last two days are quite the change from earlier this week when equities like NVDA were in free fall. Wall Street panicked from headlines that China retaliated against the new U.S. tariffs. Yet Thursday, NVDA stock closed slightly green ahead of the event.This small upside move was impressive since the Thursday open was scary for chip stocks. They all collapsed on headlines that the U.S. is acting against Huawei. So traders then extrapolated that all chip companies are vulnerable too. But this morning the sector is once again trying to find footing as Applied Materials (NASDAQ:AMAT) is helping with its positive reaction to their earnings.NVDA beat both earnings and sales. But more importantly, they raised guidance for the future. So they over-delivered and promised that they will do even better next time. This is reason to hold or start accumulating a position in Nvidia stock.NVIDIA used to be focused on graphics cards, but now they are set up to benefit from several of the hot topics for the next few decades. They have transformed into a dominant player in any tech that needs a brain. From computers on our desks or in our pockets, to ones that drive our cars.Last night's report shows that NVIDIA has returned to growth, and gaming and data centers are exciting areas of opportunities once more. Also Artificial Intelligence segments will accelerate as adoption of AI grows world wide. This is a budding trend that will dominate in the future. Every aspect of our technology will have AI built into it. Nvidia stock will surely benefit from this trend.Management also noted that the acquisition of Mellanox (NASDAQ:MLNX) will close by year end. So the noise from the assimilation will die down. They outbid Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) so they can create more runway in their own data center efforts. This will have incremental profits soon enough. The Bottom Line on Nvidia StockSo in summary, Nvidia stock is not a sell here. The management team has proven that they are still on top for their game. They are growing demand for gaming, cloud tech and AI. So they left nothing for the sellers to use as weapons.In addition, there is also the surprise revival of the Crypto-craze as Bitcoin rallied 100% in a month. In the past, NVDA and crypto moved in tandem, but Nvidia has outgrown this. Bitcoin is no longer part of the NVDA investment thesis so it's pure gravy. So it's not a threat to the rally since it's not a major peg that could break. * 6 Chinese Stocks That Could Pop On a Trade Deal The experts on Wall Street agree that Nvidia stock is a BUY. The average price target is close to $200 per share, which also shows that Wall Street believes that the upside opportunity outweighs the downside risks.Nicolas Chahine is the managing director of SellSpreads.com.

How, When and Why to Buy AMD Stock in Today’s Market
A continuation of the fear-and-loathing trade kicked off the workweek for investors. Now though, in an oversold market, Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) is looking less like a casualty of the trade war and more like a sector standout off and on the AMD stock chart. Let me explain.Source: Matthew Rutledge via FlickrMonday picked up right where a market drubbing last week left off, sans Friday's miraculous late session, tweet-inspired rally. And that's to say, the broader averages finished deep in the red. For its part, the S&P 500 slid by 2.47% as the 'twit'-for-tat gameplay of the U.S. and China's trade war worsened.Driving the price action, investors are increasingly on edge after Chinese officials promised to raise tariffs on $60 billion of American imports following the U.S. increase on $200 billion of Chinese goods from 10% to 25% on Friday.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsAnd nowhere was the selling more pronounced than in tech names like AMD stock.The tech-heavy NASDAQ tumbled 3.41%. Meanwhile, the Vaneck Vectors Semiconductor ETF (NYSEARCA:SMH) fell by 4.64%. AMD stock shed an outsized 6.15%. That was enough to allow AMD to share the top spot for worst performance among large-cap semiconductors with peers Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Maxim Integrated (NASDAQ:MXIM). * 10 Retirement Stocks That Won't Wilt in a Bear Market As a group, chip companies maintain an inordinate amount of revenues tied to China. Needless to say, with China manufacturing a good chunk of the end products semiconductors are used in, as well as being a massive consumers of those products as well, those sales are perceived as being increasingly at risk in today's escalating trade war.But is it really all that bad in AMD stock? As an investor I don't see it that way, despite the financial media's well-vocalized and distributed fear mongering that make the bear case seem inevitable. Sure, the trade war could get uglier. And that could negatively impact Advanced Micro Devices. But a trade agreement isn't exactly off the table, and conditions could quickly become bullish.In an uncertain environment, with AMD's recent earnings topper in hand, a big $600 million U.S. Department of Energy contract win last week and a price chart still looking very supportive for bulls, it's time to focus on going long, not giving up on AMD stock. AMD Stock Weekly Chart Click to EnlargeAre conditions perfect for this sort of bullish enthusiasm in AMD stock given the market's amazing run from last December's 'the sky is falling' trade war-driven lows? Personally, I'd want to see more investor unease or outright panic before I'm convinced buying shares outright on weakness will result in a profitable position. So, I have something else in mind.Barring more extreme market behavior, which might still happen, there's still a way to prepare for buying AMD stock smartly at nearby prices that is less of a guessing game and one which stacks the odds in our favor.The strategy I'm recommending is to buy AMD stock using the weekly chart and waiting for modest upside confirmation of strength. This is accomplished by purchasing shares above last week's high of $28.10. Given AMD's fairly well-supported and behaved consolidation of the past six to seven weeks, as long as last week's low of $26.03 holds, this allows investors to buy shares as the pattern's low is confirmed.Bottom line, despite an entry in a notoriously volatile stock, this strategy isn't likely to trigger unless the market is actually picking up the pieces rather than scrambling to buy more technically oversold stocks like Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) or Intel (NASDAQ:INTC). The intention is to avoid buying AMD stock during a one or two day dead cat bounce which ultimately fails. And right now that looks like smart business and certainly smarter than trying to catch a potential falling knife.Disclosure: Investment accounts under Christopher Tyler's management currently own positions in Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and its derivatives but no other securities mentioned in this article.

Intel Stock Is Far Too Cheap at $45
I am a fan of Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), but its stock is severely lagging the sector. Year to date, INTC is in negative territory while the VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF (NYSEARCA:SMH) is up about 21%. So a few weeks ago I wrote about putting the stock in the penalty box, which was the right thing to do at the time -- it has fallen another 15% since then.Source: Shutterstock Clearly the stock is broken, but since the company isn't yet, it's an opportunity to consider a long position in INTC stock. It is time to get Intel stock out of the penalty box and back in play.There rarely are perfect entry points into stocks, and since this is a long-term bet on the recovery of this stock, I am not concerned to find the absolute bottom. So those who buy the stock now should be ready to see periods of more red.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsThis is especially true since we literally just saw markets take a tumble this morning on geopolitical headlines. Last week, the trade talks between the U.S. and China broke down and stocks are suffering from the mess. This morning, again, markets are under selling pressure, and this takes most stocks down -- the good with the bad.It is important to note that initiating any bullish positions in stocks now assumes that this economic war will abate soon. So the size of the position matters, and it is prudent to break orders up in tranches. This leaves room for adding more at lower prices if the macroeconomic malaise persists. Intel Stock Needs to Straighten OutIntel is a survivor of the Dotcom bubble, so clearly they are proven winners in the long term. But here, it is still not a conviction buy from the fundamental stand point because I am still if disappointed with their management. * 7 Dividend Stocks to Buy as the Trade War Reignites They are making too many bungles and they look like amateurs. Compared them to Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD), for example, which has the vote of confidence from experts. Also, recently Intel announced it is leaving the 5-G market, just when the rest of the world is starting to embrace it. This is heralded as the next big thing in communications yet Intel already gave up on it. Management cited the deal between Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) as the reason for their departure from the field.Nevertheless, today's trade is tactical and has a hybrid thesis of fundamentals and technicals. INTC is cheap at a 10x trailing price-to-earnings ratio, so there is value below, which means that there is little froth left in the stock. This is the upside result of a 24% drop in two weeks. Meaning, the bears will need incremental bad news to inflict similar pain from here.Also technically the two recent falls were too fast, leaving too many open gaps above. Unless the company is on its last leg forever, the market action will eventually fill those gaps. INTC and Xilinx (NASDAQ:XLNX) fell on specific problems in their reports. On the other hand, the SMH ETF and AMD aren't seeing the same negativity. And therein lies the bounce opportunity as the laggards will eventually fall in line with the sector.The bottom line is that Intel stock has value below, so it is will stabilize soon. So there is an upside opportunity after this severe correction which actually qualifies as a recession per Wall Street terms. There will be resistance lines at $47, $48.40, $50.50 and $53 per share.On the downside, the bulls need to defend $44 per share area, or else they could trigger a bearish technical pattern to target $40 per share. While this is not a forecast, it is one of the current scenario. Furthermore, It will need the help of the equity market in general. After all we are still expecting the next shoes to drop from China's retaliation to the U.S. tariffs. So if the markets continue falling then INTC stock will not find its footing yet.But overall, my thesis is that investors will shrug off this tizzy and we will resume higher. And eventually there will be an upside in Intel that will start a healthy rebound rally.Nicolas Chahine is the managing director of SellSpreads.com.

Semiconductor ETFs Showing Sensitive Side to Trade Wars
The sensitivity of semiconductor exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to trade wars was evident in funds like the VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF (SMH) and the iShares PHLX Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) as U.S.-China trade deal news continued to keep markets guessing. Despite this, all in all, both funds are outperforming all three major indexes with SMH up 33.19 percent and SOXX up 35.20 percent year-to-date. The semiconductor sector can certainly lay blame on the recent trade war news.
