The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 21674 on 8/18/17, as the stock market ended lower for the second day in a row.  The stock market has been red hot but a major correction can come at any time and has been long overdue.  I just updated my Good Stocks to Buy for 2018.

Shares of Tesla (TSLA) are starting to pullback but are still up $25 per share since earnings.  Tesla (TSLA) is, in my opinion, the next Apple (AAPL).   China 3x Bull (YINN) and Small Caps 3x Bull (TNA) are also strong buys on all major pullbacks in 2017.

Stocks to Buy 8/21/17 August 21, 2017

Stocks to Buy 8/21/17 August 21, 2017 - @stockstobuy - Twitter

Below is a list of stocks to watch on Monday.  These stocks are active and have the potential to break out this week.

Check out my Stock Picks for 2017 - Stocks to Buy 2018 - Best Penny Stocks 2018

Tesla (TSLA) - Tesla (TSLA) is pulling back with the stock market right now.  Tesla is the next Apple so all major pullbacks remain a buy, especially below $300.  Resistance will be located up around $390-$400 if we see another leg higher from here.

Intrexon (XON) - Intrexon (XON) has been super volatile since earnings.  XON has been mentioned as the stock of the decade by early AMZN investor Bill Miller.  XON is a strong buy below $20 and I like to buy more around $17 over the next few months.

Apple (AAPL) - Apple (AAPL) is back testing the $150's again.  I still view this stock as a strong sell above $150 because I feel there are better buys out there.  The size of the company vastly limits upside potential.

IBM (IBM) - IBM continues to fall below $150 but is looking good for the long term.  This is the cheapest value tech stock for the money right now.

Small Cap Bull 3x (TNA) - TNA is dropping into the $40's with the weak stock market.  I like shares in the $40's for the long term.

Shake Shack (SHAK) - Shake Shack (SHAK) is forming a base above $30.  SHAK is a great long term stock to buy below $30!

Chipotle (CMG) - Chipotle (CMG) is now back below $330 again.  I view shares as a strong buy down below $400 but I'd rather own TSLA.
