Trade Ideas for 11/11/09

No reversal today; instead, the market appeared to consolidate yesterday's advance. Based upon recent history, this suggests higher prices ahead.



Tomorrow is Veteran's Day; while markets remain open, volume should come in on the light side. We got stopped out of TBT and CEF, both at prices less than the sell-stop on weak opens. We bought ZSL.

Current Holdings
Ticker Basis Closing

Perf. Sell-Stop Addl Exit Guideline Chart
TWM 27.58 29.21 +5.9% 26.99 alternate sell-stop: 28.49 Chart
ZSL 4.81 4.76 -1.0% 4.61 N/A Chart
ICO 4.36 4.58 +5.0% 4.36 N/A Chart


Although the chart pattern suggests further upside, there's tough resistance overhead. The market has shown it can climb up against formidable chart patterns, so let's give it the benefit of the doubt, but keep risk conservative.
