• My current watch-list for long swing-trades There are quite a few contradicting indicators out there, and ultimately, I’m not sure which one wins out on the day. But for now the trend is up (despite it being down just a few days prior) on the daily chart. It’s definitely a hard market to trade, and

  • Swing Trades for the Week of Christmas Count on the volume to get much lighter going into the final week of the trading year. There will be less participation and less overall movements (typically speaking) from stocks and the market as a whole. However, it is still my goal to provide you with setups where

  • My short watch-list for swing trading, over the last three days, has become dramatically smaller. But that’s not really a big surprise to me considering how hard this market has rallied off of the last three days and also since the November lows. I’m paying close attention to Smith & Wesson as a short play

  • Swing Trading setups to take a look at There’s not a ton of short setups that one can even find in this market without having to risk jumping in front of a freight train hoping for it to stop in time. At least that’s what I’ve found in my scans today. On the long side,

  • Take a look at these swing trading setups in ZIP and SWHC Two excellent swing trades today. The first one Zipcar (ZIP) can be jumped on now at $8.61. The second one, Smith & Wesson (SWHC) you’ll want to wait for a bounce back into resistance before getting short.  A quick note on the latter,

  • Two swing trade setups to take a look at Today’s long setup comes from CNH Global (CNH). It has held up quite nicely despite the fact the market is 20 points off of the highs achieved from yesterday. There’s an ascending triangle that has formed and a break above and through it would signal a

  • My Swing-Trade Short Setup Watch-List We’ve got a bunch of worthless politicians moving the market all over the place on a daily basis. I mean, it is almost as if Nancy Pelosi whispers to her aid saying “Buy me some TZA – I’m going before the press and I’m going to tank this market”.  It’s

  • Lazy Trades for a market pulling back off of the highs of day.  Thanks to the likes of Ben Bernanke, Harry Reid, and John Boehner, you give the market a near impossible task on holding otherwise solid gains when these three blathering glory hounds step in front of the camera.  With that said, the gains

  • Two long setups to show you today for swing trading I am going off the beaten path today and providing two longs instead of the split between a long and short setup. Both of these trades look solid, but we are probably at a point where we want to see some kind of pullback in

  • Today's swing-trade setups are Air Lease (AL) and Cosan Limited (CZZ)  For today's lazy trades long and short I've taken a long position in Air Lease (AL) at $22.70. The stock is doing everything it can today to break through some  heavy multi-month resistance. It's one that has been on my watch-list for a few
