The S&P closed near its 50-day moving average. Yesterday we lost a bunch of our holdings. See updated table. Also, it appears I posted trade ideas for 2/23 over the original 2/22... oops

The major averages have now recovered their flattened 50-day moving averages. There might be another week of consolidation/choppiness to finish out the month.

Trade Ideas for 02/19/10

The S&P tagged its 50-day moving average today. There's a good chance this average will be resistance, so time to take a little off our long positions. We sold NGD today.

Trade Ideas for 02/18/10

S&P approaching its 50-day moving average - and just might hit it this time around. The first touch, at least, tends to be resistance, so it's time for caution and tightened stops. We were stopped out of FST for a nice profit and into LIZ.
