Trade Ideas for 12/03/08

We lost a couple of our positions in today's range-bound trading. For the bulls the trading range is a good sign, as the market needs time to digest Monday's losses before it can put together a bona fide rally. For the bears this is a good sign as it provides a low-risk entry to the short side.

Current Holdings
Ticker Basis Closing
Price
Perf. Sell-Stop Additional Exit Guideline Chart
AN 7.01 9.17 +30.8% 7.97 Consider selling on a close < 8.62 Chart


Playing both sides; since we're in a downtrend, the more likely path is down.
