Trade Idea for 8/19/09

In danger of going down three days in a row for the first time since July, the market rallied weakly today. With a small up day on low volume, the chart pattern is set up for a fast move down should we breach yesterday's low.

No changes in holdings, but we took partial profits on FXP and SRS.

Current Holdings
Ticker Basis Closing
Price
Perf. Sell-Stop Addl Exit Guideline Chart
SRS 12.31 13.18 +7.1% 12.31 N/A Chart
FXP 10.04 10.56 +5.2% 10.04 N/A Chart
SKF 30.52 29.78 -2.4% 28.11 N/A Chart


Inversely-correlated ideas for tomorrow, but let's also carry over the long idea.
