  • Primary Watchlist (Longs)

    Here are the twenty stocks on my primary watchlist for longs: NVT, CROX, UA, VSEC, DRYS, TBSI, GRMN, KCI, CMG, BOOM, DW, GMCR, NOV, OII, RIO, SBUX, MT, PCZ, TOT, BTJ

  • Another Strong Stock: CROX

    One of my loyal readers asked me why I keep spotlighting strong stocks when I am more apt to go short right now. Fair question. The reason is, at the moment, it is easy to find stocks to short. If I were to throw darts at a board with the…

  • EWZ Entry Strategy

    One of my favorite buy the dip plays, EWZ (Brazilian ETF), has pulled back to the 50 day moving average. There are two ways I am looking to enter this stock. I’m going to make a very small buy now, right around the support area, with a stop around $59-60.…

  • Building My Watchlist

    Today I had a little time to “get away” from the vacation and analyze the market. My best bet is we will see a “dead cat bounce” followed by another leg down. Of course, I could be wrong and we’ll see more resilience from the bulls. Right now I am…

  • Primary Watchlist and Energy Stocks

    Here are the 25 stocks with the lowest float on my “top 100” primary watchlist. I would like to make a trade tomorrow (I have recently taken a refreshing break from trading). Focus will be on energy and drilling stocks that made it to my primary list. I see the…

  • Reliance Steel Earnings Setup

    Reliance Steel (RS), reports earnings this week and has a nice looking earnings setup. The stock is basing just under resistance, so a positive earnings report could set the stage for a breakout move to new high territorry. I will likely place a buy stop just above resistance.

  • SNCR: No Longer an Ideal Pullback Candidate

    I received an email from a reader who asked if today’s pullback in SNCR was an entry signal. My answer was a not so subtle, “Not on your life!” In last night’s chart post, I mentioned that I liked SNCR on a pullback. Those that have been reading me for…

  • Charts: JOYG, PCLN, SNCR, CMG, HANS

    I spent the weekend narrowing down the watchlist. Here are five stocks from various sectors that are near the top. I am not ready to enter any of these yet. Think like predator stalking it’s prey. Keep a close eye on the target and pounce when the moment is right.…

  • Google Forming a Negative Divergence

    While GOOGLE (GOOG) made my long position trading watchlist (entry at 50 day moving average), I could not help but notice the startling RSI, OBV and stochastic divergences that have formed at the current new highs. For those who don’t know, a negative divergence forms when price increases while the…

  • Trades Galore: SRDX, OII, MT, EWZ, RIO and NILE

    I was a little nervous as to how the markets would react this holiday week, especially when you take into account that I was holding 7 positions over the weekend. I used today’s bounce to unload almost all of my existing positions. Since we are at the halfway point of…

  • Short Squeeze Play: SRDX

    SRDX, a drug stock, broke out over price and moving average resistance on huge volume today. While that’s fine and dandy, what’s really interesting is that it has a 30 percent short interest ratio. To put this number in perspective, breakout stocks make my short squeeze setup if the ratio…

  • Primary Watchlist for Wednesday

    Here are six of my favorite long candidates: VRGY, HEI, JCG, CYNO, OII, MT. All are trending stocks with nice pullbacks. While these are short term trade opportunities, MT and OII (two of my favorites in their respective sectors-steel and gas equipment) will be buys for my longer term position…

  • Watchlist

    I like COG on a pullback to $40. I am already in with a 500 share position, as I had a buy stop that triggered at $40.05 (I mentioned this stock on the video webcast this morning). Other stocks on my radar: NFX, HEI, IOC, CYNO, VRGY, JCG, BKE, SII,…

  • CTRP and Oil Stocks

    There is a good chance I will take a position in CTRP tomorrow: In yesterday’s video webcast, I mentioned that I liked independent oil and gas, along with oil refiners. These five stocks made my “oil” watchlist: WNR, NFX, KWK, DNR and IOC.

  • Short Watchlist: CAL

    While I’m still not in full bear mode (I won’t be until the S&P breaks below 1450), I am starting to formulate a short watchlist. CAL looks like a good short on a break below $35.

  • Top 100 Watch List

    Here are all 100 stocks on my watchlist, including today’s performance. Note that only 17 of the 100 stocks made positive gains today. Even with the two day market pullback, many stocks on the list are still overbought and have yet to pullback to support. That’s why this correction has…

    Here is a list of stocks added to my watchlist. All of these stocks are 3 percent breakouts from Thursday or Friday. I am looking for pullbacks to support. MW: pb 48GGL: pb 21SNCR: pb 24AMTD: pb 19CIEN: pb 32.50JCG: pb 42-43BIDU: pb 130TS: pbCEN: pb 34.50-35VT: pb 39-40FTK: pb…
