Momentum Trader Analysis

Recommendation

Buy Diageo plc (DEO) at market today and place your stop at $140.00.

If you want to play the options, I recommend the DEO April 2018 $145 calls (DEO180420C00145000), which last traded at $5.39 and expire on April 20.

Portfolio Update

Raise your stop in Texas Instruments (TXN) to $103.65 to lock in at least a 10% gain in the stock.
