    In today’s video webcast I analyze charts of selected stocks from my primary watchlist: NFX, VRGY, JCG, SII, RIO, CYTC, MT, COG and OII http://flash.revver.com/player/1.0/player.swf http://one.revver.com/watch/301152/flv/affiliate/93676

  • 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,…

  • Video: Breakout-Pullback Watchlist For Wednesday

    In today’s video, I go over how I scan for breakout-pullback candidates. Video Summary:Only 16 stocks made it on the scan, which looks for 3 percent breakouts that are over $20. This is a very low number and makes me cautious about the market in general. Stocks that made the…

  • Weakening Market?

    Only 6 out of 239 sector groups posted positive gains today. While the market did okay today, this breadth reading is not a postive for the market. To make matters worse, I only had 16 candidates to choose from on my breakout scan, which is the lowest I can remember…

  • 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.

  • Video: Sector Review

    In today’s video webcast, I review the top 10 performing sectors over the past month and show how I decide which sectors to further investigate. Sectors that interest me include: independent oil and gas, oil and gas refining, nonmetallic mining and gaming activities. http://flash.revver.com/player/1.0/player.swf http://one.revver.com/watch/297440/flv/affiliate/93676 I would appreciate any feedback…

  • ILMN Revisited and a Video Question

    Two nights ago, I mentioned ILMN as a “short float” breakout candidate. The stock had broke out over resistance and had a low float coupled with high short interest. These conditions lead me to believe we could be setting up for a parabolic move higher. Take a look at how…

  • 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.

  • Today’s Trade: STLD, and SPX

    I went short 500 shares of STLD at $45.70. I had a short set just under the 50 day MA, which of course triggered today. I was also stopped out of my 300 share long position in STLD at $45.90 (entry at $47.70) for a 540 loss (-3.7 %). Note…

  • 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…

  • "Short Float" Breakout Setup: ILMN

    ILMN made a 4 % gain today over established resistance. However, that’s not what put it on my watchlist. Stocks in a downtrend do not usually make the cut. What makes this stock special is that it is a low float stock with a high short interest ratio. The stock’s…

  • Blogger Quotes: Tim Knight is Numb

    There was a time, not long ago (like, ummm, early last week) that I would have felt cheated and flustered by the Chinese market’s tumble not having a bearish effect in the U.S. But at this point, I am so utterly distrustful (and numbed) by this market that I’m not…

  • Today’s Trades: BEAV and ZEUS

    I sold 500 shares of ZEUS at $34.25 (entry at $32.90) for a $675 gain (+4.1%). I sold 500 shares of BEAV at $38.55 (entry at $37.25) for a $650 gain (+3.5%).I am still holding TMX, BBD, SYNL, STLD and IBN.

  • Quote of the Day – Fly on Wall Street

    Aside from my holdings, the natural gas sector intrigues “The Fly.”Look you, according to “stately experts,” half the country will be destroyed, during this year’s Hurricane bonanza, barring disruption from Sahara dust or El Nino. So, it probably makes sense to position in some risky dice rolls, ahead of the…

  • Today’s Trade: TMX

    I bought 400 shares of TMX at $40.88. It has been on my watchlist since May 20th. Mexican stocks have been on a tear, and I’m using the consolidation after the latest breakout as a jumping point. Any thoughts on this trade? Was the last breakout a continuation or exhaustion…
