Trade Ideas for 06/25/09

A huge morning rally lost steam by mid-day, and then the market fell even more steeply once the Fed announcement was made. Still, most averages, with the glaring exception of the Dow, closed in the green for the day. The Dow's exception is glaring because that average is supposed to house the market leaders, and leaders lead. We were stopped out of SMN today.

Current Holdings
Ticker Basis Closing
Price
Perf. Sell-Stop Add'l Exit Guideline Chart
DUG 16.54 19.47 +17.7% 18.62 N/A Chart
SCC 61.84 66.69 +7.8% 62.62 N/A Chart
QID 32.81 33.50 +2.1% 32.19 N/A Chart
SRS 21.51 21.00 -2.4% 20.12 N/A Chart


Staying biased to the short side. SCC is a re-up; if elected, set the sell-stop for all shares to 65.39 (or the low of the day, whichever is lower).
