Trade Setups

The bears are showing some serious 'game' today as they have the S&P 500 down double digits – a rarity these days to say the least.  The problem for them though, is that they have become so 'gun-shy' that any kind of weakness they will cover their positions, especially if there isn't a huge catalyst

This never die market keeps pushing…well… higher. Dip buyers are showing themselves strong at the highs for the past three days. With that said, lets look at three swing trade opportunties that you can get long on:  Long:Cummins (CMI) Long:Cabela's (CAB) Long:Boeing (BA)

I took a long position a few days ago in the stock, and today we are finally seeing some 'pop' out of the stock itself.  As I say all the time that ascending triangle breakouts that consolidates right into the rising trend-line

I’ve had a long history of Mentor Graphics (MENT) as a trader – both on the long and short side fo the trade. Overall it has done me pretty well, which is why I’m happy to be re-uniting myself with this often peculiar stock. There has been a huge rise of late and over the

I have to follow up on my Google (GOOG) post from July 12th, when I warned traders to get out of GOOG when it was well over $920. The stock has a history of not performing well in consideration of the price pattern that had matured, the over extension outside of the upper Bollinger

Four swing trades that you should consider getting long on today:  Long: Stage Stores (SSI) Long: VimpelCom (VIP)
