Trade Ideas for 10/06/09

The market continued its bounce off its 50-day moving average and is now at a somewhat important decision point. A reversal from here strongly suggests the high was put in last month, and such a reversal has the potential to be powerful. However, this was true at several points in the recent past, and each time the bulls took the market to new highs. We'll soon find out if this time is any different.

We bought DGP and SSO today. Tomorrow may be an important test with respect to the direction the market will take over the coming week or two. As such, we will sell all of SSO on a negative close and consider selling up to half the shares in the short positions on a negative close.
