    My Top 30 Short Trade Setups

    Now that the market has finally had the chance to rally some, work off the oversold conditions (I feel like a broken record saying this) I’ll be putting on some new short positions come tomorrow morning. I’ve heard already some chatter from folks getting more optimistic each day, which even more so, emboldens the contrarian

  • 5 Amazing Short Setups

    Here are five short setups (with a desirable stop-loss included) that I believe, will go down hard with this market, if it continues to churn lower. However, word to the wise, I don’t recommend going out right now and shorting these stocks, as the market is sitting in oversold conditions. I would wait for

    Trade Ideas for January 28, 2010

    As I said yesterday, today will no doubt be pretty crazy in regards to the number of variables out there influencing the market’s direction today. Not the least, you have the affects of yesterday’s FOMC Statement being further digested – in fact I have seen it at times, where the following day of its release, do a

    My Shorting Watch-List

    Things have no doubt turned drastically bearish in the past week. Whether the sentiment remains is anyone’s guess. However, it doesn’t hurt to begin preparing for what could be a major correction. I mean let’s face it, it is not like we are in the best of economic environments right now, so there is no

With Christmas right around the corner, we look at retail stocks to see which ones will benefit the most off of Christmas shopping that is to ensue after Thanksgiving up until Christmas eve.

    Out of SDS, AMZN, GLL, In XLU

    Busy day for me today as I greatly reduced my short positions in my portfolio. I have to say that the past two days have been somewhat disappointing for me that we haven’t got as much action out of the market to the downside as I had hoped for. And both days have had intraday

    AMZN Short and GLL Long

    Wasn't expecting to short Amazon today (AMZN) but the beautiful bearish harami pattern that has formed over the last two days using candlesticks made it irresistible (the candle pattern resembles a pregnant lady). I got in at the close at 122.04, with a stop-loss just above the highs reached yesterday. This stock is extremely overbought,
