• This long setup watch-list is looking more and more prudent by the day as the bulls are determined to push this market higher in the short-term. Remember, you’re not going to like every trade setup or see a trade in every symbol listed below. This is my personal watch-list and there are typically three reasons

  • Outside of Linn Energy (LINE), the SPDR Dow 30 (DIA) is my largest position in the portfolio right now. Pretty good setup with a solid risk-reward opportunity at hand. I shorted this stock with with the idea that today’s market just seemed too manufactured and unsustainable. Also, I have a hard time letting a weak

  • Same as Part 1 and Part 2…Rationales for why I have each of these stocks on the list, and even though I don’t explain my rationale for each one (I’d be forever typing out this post if I did), I can break them down into three categories; 1) Price and volume pattern is intriguing 2)

  • Alright folks here is part two – with part three coming shortly thereafter. I’ll say it again…there are lots of different rationales for why I have each of these stocks on the list, and even though I don’t explain my rationale for each one (I’d be forever typing out this post if I did), I

  • Since the last time I posted my watch-list it has nearly doubled in size. So much so, that I am breaking my short watch-list into three separate posts to be done throughout the trading day, today. As I always do, I updated the stop-loss for those that are carry-overs from last week, and provided you

  • Got into another short right at the close with Vodafone (VOD) at 19.62. The other position was SPDR Gold (GLD) which I went long in yesterday. It is at the cusp of breaking out, and should the markets continue to deteriorate, I believe that gold will be a ‘flight-to-safety’ play. However, I will say this,

  • Today was one of the more eventful days for me in the market in quite some time. Determined that any kind of bounce, no matter how big or how small,  I would short it – and I did exactly that. I added 6 new positions today: 5 shorts and 1 long with the latter being

  • One of the great shorts of the past decade is back for more. I honestly have no idea how these guys are even in business - I have never heard of anyone actually owning any of their products or services. Go Figure!

  • Here’s my long-watch list right now, and as you can see it is dramatically smaller than the short-list that I am working off of – the main reason being that, the types of setups that I look for – High Reward/Low Risk – are slim pickings of late. But there are 24 long-setups with the

  • I’ve provided you with 4 stocks to short in addition to the 63 stocks I provided you with last night. Each of these stocks have some major downside action that lies ahead for them, and honestly expect a few of these to drop 20% or more in the coming months. For each stock, I have
