More About The 2 Stocks Discussed Yesterday
April 28, 2010 by ingrid_mueller
Yesterday, I mentioned that CREE and LULU had lined up to go long providing the broad market and the individual stock were moving up on stronger volume.
However, futures indicated that the market would open down and later in the morning we saw a 100 point drop ending the trading day with a 213.04 decline.
The DJIA dropped below resistance of 11,200 and now sitting just under 11,100. Both the NASDAQ and the S+P 500 dropped below previous levels as well.
Since all three indexes have been overbought since mid-February, this sell-off may generate new entry signals.
We saw heavy profit taking on many of the stocks on our watch list. Now we will wait for clear market direction.

Still Stair Stepping Up
April 26, 2010 by ingrid_mueller
The broad market has been stair stepping up since mid February. We have been waiting for a clear entry point as signified by a new long trigger on the Williams %R.
On Friday, April 16th, it looked as though we might have the beginning of the awaited sell off with a drop of 125 points. Watching to see if Williams %R would descend to -80 or greater.
Instead on Monday the market continued its’ stair stepping pattern. Friday we testd 11,200 on the DJIA.
We have two choices for position or swing trading. Wait for sell-off and a new entry point or if the market consolidates around 11,200 we would enter on a break out with higher volume.
We shall see what the charts tell us this week. In the meantime, review your watch list and create a short list of stocks that are lining up.

Wait For A New Clear Signal
April 19, 2010 by ingrid_mueller
On Friday we saw significant profit taking after 6 weeks of stair stepping higher trading. Many strong companies were affected.
Although the sell-off appears to be related to the latest financial news, bear in mind that we expected some profit taking after recent days of buying and prolonged overbought indicators.
It is easy to be overcome by emotions and give in to the temptation of jumping onto the moving train not knowing when the train is losing steam and the ride is over.
This is a time to protect profits on existing trades with trailing stops and wait for new clear entry signals based upon a sound trading plan.
This week we will watch and see whether there will be more profit taking and then resuming of our upward course. We will also watch for signs of change. It is best to wait before entering any new trades until we have a clear direction and new entry triggers. As always, our strong watch list will generate new profitable trades.
