The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 23158 on 10/18/17, as the stock market ended higher.  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 Top Stock Picks 2018.

Shares of Tesla (TSLA) rallied back above $360 on Wednesday.  Tesla is set to dominate the electric vehicle space in a major way.  The next two catalysts are earnings and the semi-truck announcement.  Tesla (TSLA) is the next Apple and shares are a strong buy on all major pullbacks.   China 3x Bull (YINN) and Small Caps 3x Bull (TNA) are also strong buys on all major pullbacks in 2017.

Stocks to Buy 10/19/17 October 19, 2017

Stocks to Buy 10/19/17 October 19, 2017 - @stockstobuy - Twitter

Below is a list of stocks to watch on Thursday.  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) continues to trade between $35-$360 ahead of earnings in two weeks.  Tesla is working through a tiny setback with the Model 3 right now.  Tesla will be producing 10,000 Model 3 cars per week by the end of 2018 so this tiny glitch has me yawning.

Tesla is the next Apple so all major pullbacks remain a buy, especially below $300.  Tesla (TSLA) will now face heavy resistance around $360.

Intrexon (XON) - Intrexon (XON) rallied back above $18.50 on Wednesday.  XON has been mentioned as the stock of the decade by early AMZN investor Bill Miller.  XON is a strong buy below $17.  TSLA was also mentioned as the stock of the decade.

Apple (AAPL) - Apple (AAPL) is soaring above $160 ahead of earnings.  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 greatly limits upside potential.

Amazon (AMZN) - Shares of AMZN climbed back above $1,000.  AMZN will have support between $930-$950 on any pullback.

Small Cap Bull 3x (TNA) - TNA is trading around $67 and is now up 110% since the election.  I like shares in the $40's for the long term.

Shake Shack (SHAK) - Shake Shack (SHAK) continues to shine into Q3 earnings.  SHAK is a great long term stock to buy below $30!

Chipotle (CMG) - Chipotle (CMG) is now trading back around $325.  I view shares as a strong buy down below $300 but I'd rather own TSLA.
