Swing-Trade Setups for just this kind of market We are showing  here in the last hour of trading some bearishness despite the ramp up that occurred from this morning and onward. I don’t expect us to turn red on the day, but the bulls clearly aren’t comfortable in their own skin no matter what the

My Complete Short Watch-List for Swing-Trading The market is showing all sorts of weakness today, and my belief that the dead cat bounce is…well…dead, is at the forefront of my mind right now.  With the SPX giving up the day’s gains and heading southward only solidifies my belief.  I’ve already added one short

Classic dead cat bounce up to this point We’re getting a bounce out of this market today, and while I’d like to think it is more than a dead-cat bounce, at this point, it doesn’t look like that. Dead cat bounces can and usually lasts a few days, so don’t take today’s strength and

Keep this short watch-list handy if the market fails to follow through on the upside The past two days (minus the first 15 minutes of trading on Friday) have been quite frustrating. Not so much from a profit/loss stand point, as much as nothing is really moving in this market. There is no collective

Long Setups Take Patience In This Market If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know by now, I don’t go chasing after high-flying stocks. Too much risk, and too little reward to profit consistently off of that strategy. What I do like are Initial breakouts without a huge run-up, consolidating patterns, and

Surprise Weakness, makes my short watch-list relevant again There’s no doubt that a lot of traders are shocked by today’s market action. We finished at all-time highs in the SPX on Friday only to give up basically all of those gains today. On the SPX chart it looks like a complete engulfing pattern, while

A basket a long swing-trade setups Some of the stocks that you’ll see in my watch-list look as if they haven’t taken a breather in months, and that may very well be true, but don’t take it as a notion on my behalf that I have plans on chasing these stocks. To the contrary,
