FSLR

I like FSLR on the long side here. Short-term. Use stops.

Shorts: FXP, ICE, NMX, MA, CSCO, PCX
Longs: GLD, FSLR, DBA, OXY, BP

Too far, too fast.

Be aware of earnings announcements and volatility - the following are based on charts only.

SHORTS:
In most cases these are stocks that are due for a pullback or have broken support.
LVS (this was my favorite until they talked about it on CNBC but nonetheless)
WYNN
CME
FDX
XLE
MA
NMX


LONGS:
In most cases these are stocks that have been beaten down too much too fast (i.e. UNG) or are presenting a low-risk entry (i.e. AMZN) at support
UNG
AMZN
DBA
FXI

Taking it

A lot of stocks rolled over and broke support today...and from sectors you might not expect (ag, steel, coal, energy, etc). Hopefully none of these moves ruined your weekend plans and you'll be able to find a way to profit from them. I will likely sit tomorrow out in protest of this obnoxiously choppy market but I am seeing a lot of nice setups for next week.


Steel and Coal stocks all took in on the chin while breaking through significant levels of support
--> X, AKS, ACI, BTU


Possible longs (as always use tight stops)
--> RIG (yes, this is the whole list)


Possible shorts (same)
--> ICE, GNK, AA, POT, MON, MOS, UNP (...finally UNP)


Watchlist (these may yet require a bounce or a pullback before taking action)
--> MA, VIX, CME, NMX


Have a great July 4th weekend! With this year's undisclosed destination, I will see if I can snap another award winning photograph - just like the one I took last year: Click HERE to see it.

If I ever get tired of raping and pillaging the options market maybe I can just fall back on my photography skillz.

Patience

Fortunately I have the luxury of not having to be in the market every day...because most of the charts I'm coming across look like shit.

Remember, Chuck Norris doesn't sleep..... he waits.

Here are a few thoughts that should be self explanatory:

AKS

CELG

COF

FTK

GNK

GOOG

NMX

RIG

SMH

USO

VIX

X

SPY



Trading for a Living
A trendline is not a glass floor under the market - one crack and it is
gone. It is more like a fence that bulls or bears can lean on. They can even
violate it a bit without toppling it, the way animals shake a fence. A trendline
break is valid only if prices close on the other side of a trendline.
