Trade Ideas for 03/22/10

Small pullback in S&P Friday, but many individual charts look really bad, telling a tale much worse than the one presented by the major indices. None worse than a couple of royalty trusts. Geez.



Talk about look out below. Goodbye to CYD, GNA, DGP. Hello QID.

One of you asked about doing a true short, so I'm going to debut one for tomorrow: EQY. It's probably going to be confusing since the table headings are geared for long positions.
