More About The 2 Stocks Discussed Yesterday

April 28, 2010 by  

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  

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.

Mental and Emotional Stability

March 22, 2010 by  

The goal of trading discipline is  mental and emotional stability which  reveals crystal clarity about all aspects of trading.

It is generally approached from the viewpoint of controlling thoughts and emotions, becoming fairly dispassionate and neutral in order to execute successful trades.  Avoiding  getting  swept upon  the sea of emotions as we are deciding when to enter or when to exit,  speculating as to where  the market  is going to go next.

One scientific estimate says that we have on average 60,000 thoughts per day.  If that is true then it is an impossible task to control those wildly active viewpoints in response to what we are observing and experiencing throughout the day,  let alone the heat of trading.

What’s Your Guess?

February 22, 2010 by  

For Christmas I received a subscription to Money magazine . In the first issue there is a poll asking: Where will the Dow finish in 2010?

4 people were quoted.  A nurse said stocks will drop and she believes the middle class will struggle for a long time.  A teacher said it will be higher but before investing he needs to see unemployment drop. The city planner said the recent rally was premature but she doesn’t think things will get worse. Lastly, the account manager said he thinks it will be about the same. Read more
