Trade Ideas for 02/19/10

The S&P tagged its 50-day moving average today. There's a good chance this average will be resistance, so time to take a little off our long positions. We sold NGD today.

Trade Ideas for 02/18/10

S&P approaching its 50-day moving average - and just might hit it this time around. The first touch, at least, tends to be resistance, so it's time for caution and tightened stops. We were stopped out of FST for a nice profit and into LIZ.

Trade Ideas for 02/16/10

Interesting week that saw the S&P bounce off the 1060 level every single day. This congestion is building a base, but whether that's to launch upward or downward can't be determined. We bought HANS Friday.

Trade Ideas for 02/12/10

A bit of a spurt today to liven up a mostly sideways week. Friday could add a punctuation mark to this congestion-rally, so I suggest booking profits on any long positions taken by the close. Monday is a market holiday. We bought NGD. Also, I just realized we should have been stopped out a few days ago in DXD.

Trade Ideas for 02/09/10

No follow-through on Friday's late afternoon push, and now the market could be in real trouble. A break of Friday's lows and the S&P could see its 200-day moving average in short order. Its 50-day moving average has already turned south, although not decidedly so. Still holding our shorts, maybe adding.

Trade Idea for 02/08/10

After washing out Friday morning, the market came roaring back to close the averages green for the day. Long-legged dojis such as the ones painted Friday are stark reversal signals, so we can't discount the possibility of at least a short-term bottom being put in. However, if the rally ended on January 19th, the market should not get above last week's highs, so that'll be our exit point. We were stopped out of CYTR and into DXD and QID.

What a swoon. Could that be as close as the averages get to their 50-day moving averages this go round? It looks like it, as the market plunged to new downtrend lows. I think it's time to chase. We were stopped out of BEE and BLDP today.
