Trade: LEH
I bought 250 shares of LEH at $82.64. This is a speculative play along the lines of the AKAM trade. My target is the recent highs at $86, and my stop will be placed just under the 50 day moving average, around $80. The brokers have been strong over the…

I bought 500 shares of RATE at $42.53. The stock spiked up over resistance on strong volume and has now pulled back on diminished volume, printing an ideal NR7 entry. I bought 500 shares of AKS at $22.08. As you guys know, I love steel right now. I picked AKS…

Trade Update: NCTY and STLD
I bought 400 shares of STLD at $38.45. I’ve been waiting for a nice pullback in this stock, and we’ve finally got one. Not as far as I’d like, but we’re dealing with a very hot sector, so I was willing to enter with more downside risk than normal. Since…

Today’s Trade: NCTY
I bought 500 shares of NCTY at $36.15. This stock was originally on my “breakout” list, with $38 as the potential entry point. However, upon further review, I decided that it would make an even better pullback entry. Note that the stock has been a buy whenever it pulls back…

CAL’s Inverse Correlation with Energy
Today I went short on CAL, an airline stock, and went long USO (U.S. Oil Fund). Most likely, this trade is either going to pay off handsomely or hurt badly. I don’t see much hope for any middle ground, as the stocks have had an inverse correlation over the past…

Today’s Trades: CAL and USO
I re-entered a 500 share short position in CAL at $41.60. This is an aggressive play, as the stock has not yet broke the forming head and shoulders pattern. I also bought 500 shares of USO at $46.80. My target is $50, which is just under the 50 day moving…
