Consensus is calling for sideways action in the broad markets (138-145 for SPY, 46-51 for QQQQ) for the next few weeks but that doesn't mean you have to sit on the sidelines. I still like the idea of selling OTM credit spreads on SPY and ETFs, for example, but there are a lot of other opportunities out there on individual stocks. Here are a few thoughts for the short-term...Apache Corp (APA) - breakout
Devon Energy (DVN) - breakout
AK Steel Corp (AKS) - breakout / recent bounce off 20 day MA
Research in Motion (RIMM) - breakout, possible consolidation before heading higher
Apple Inc (AAPL) - pullback / found support at 20 day MA
Halliburton Inc (HAL) - breakout
Exxon Mobil (XOM) - ascending triangleValero (VLO) - in a downtrend / overbought
Lehman Bros (LEH) - breakdown
Dryships (DRYS) - broke trendline / look to the 20 day MA for support - still very strong, just got overextended.I like AAPLs chances of revisiting 200 by Q3. Consider picking up some OTM OCT Calls.
