Quickie Trade Update

Published by

on

I’m in a hurry, thus the quickie trade update. I’ll go into more detail in my next post.

I exited NOV for a nice gain.

I exited my index and gold plays, DDS, NEM, DBA and SSO for small to moderate gains.

I exited GMCR for a loss.

I took new positions in BCSI, SII, UA, SRS (short real estate), GS (short) and LEH (short).

I am looking to buy some momentum favorites on weakness, including AAPL, RIMM, GRMN, FLR, NOV, OII, FWLT, DRYS and CROX.

    I guess my role here is to find and point out areas of disagreement with your trades. Hopefully, I can do this in a way that benefits all.I am surprised you picked CROX as one of the stocks you would go long. To me this one fits the profile of a momentum flyer that has slowly but surely lost its mojo.– It recently hit a new high on lower volume and then reversed in the same session.– Most of the recent advances are on tepid volume. – Had a drop on pretty high volume last week. – Indicators are a mess (MACD, RSI, you name it)– Yesterday, it was unable to participate in the overall market rally.To me, this one is ripe for shorting and shorting big, especially on a move below 56. Let’s see what happens.The Critic

    Critic: As long as support doesn’t break, it remains on my primary watchlist. I have support marked at $55. I support does break (55 or 50 day ma) on high volume, then I would agree with your short assessment.

    When you say short real estate are you talking about SRPIX or SRPSX ?
