Trade Ideas for 10/08/09

The market gapped up at the open, moved slightly higher then closed where it opened. We sold all our remaining short positions, SRS for a profit, TWM for a bit less than breakeven on a gap down open, and SKF and QID for losses. We bought HL, RBY and HOLX. PCX, which we missed, gapped above its buy price and never came down.

I couldn't find good setups for tomorrow. As insurance, tomorrow's ideas are shorts that shouldn't trigger unless the market crashes.
