Swing Trading Setups Abound In Both Directions I really like both of these trade setups. The first being in Ingredion (INGR), which has formed a near perfect channel off of the July lows, and has consistently been trading inside of ever since. Today and yesterday, it tested the lower channel, and all indications point to

YPF Sociedad Anonima (YPF) and Petsmart (PETM) are today’s Lazy Trades I’m not adding any longs to this portfolio, and am focusing strictly on the short side here. I’m not getting any sign from the market here today though that it is ready to move lower. If we can get a move into the close

There’s a storm coming, and you should have your short watch-list ready.  Yes, I know, the market is at 5 year highs, and we should all be excited about it, but this is a market that you can never trust, and with us up over eight straight days and at historic overbought levels, while

SNI and LPL offer quality swing-trade setups This market is making me increasingly nervous, particularly how the dip buyers, late into an existing uptrend on the daily (since November) have suddenly decided to buy every intraday dip that is possible.

Two Swing Trade setups to watch: GNRC and TGT Target Corp (TGT) has been on my bearish watch-list for quite some time now. The rally into resistance shouldn’t be taken serious here. It has the look of a stock that is ready to head south again and possibly form a new low at which

Two swing-trading setups with tight risk plays The first swing trade setup is in HDFC Bank (HDB), which the buy the way can be shorted, if it breaks through below support. But for the purposes of this post, I’m zeroing in on it from the long side. There is solid consolidation of late, and if

I’ve wanted to add a trade to the portfolio today and even considered adding a short, but once we broke out to new highs this afternoon, it made doing so a difficult prospect. So I’ve stood by for the most part today. I did book gains in SREV at 6.56 from $6.03, where I bought

Swing-trade strategies in Philip Morris and Georgia Gulf Corp.  The market continues to swing higher to close out what has been a very impressive opening weak in the markets.
