Trade Ideas for 10/20/09

The S&P poked above 1100 today, successfully bouncing off that lower channel trendline. The top of the channel is around 1112 for tomorrow, and a break below today's low will take the average out of the channel. So let's wait and see which one breaks first.

We bought AONE today.

Current Holdings
Ticker Basis Closing
Price
Perf. Sell-Stop Addl Exit Guideline Chart
SSO 32.68 36.99 +13.2% 35.99 N/A Chart
AONE 24.31 23.63 -2.8% 22.79 N/A Chart


Because of today's breakout, not many long ideas for tomorrow. For the short ideas, a break of today's high in each is acceptable but on the aggressive side; instead I've chosen entry prices that require more evidence of downside.

New Trade Ideas
Ticker Entry Exit A Exit C Chart
CBAK (China BAK Battery) 4.64 4.41 N/A Chart
TWM (Ultrashort Russell 2000) 27.58 26.35 N/A Chart
SKF (Ultrashort Financials) 24.37 23.31 N/A Chart
SDS (Ultrashort S&P 500) 38.31 36.94 N/A Chart
