Frustrating Action...

Today wasn't a good day. For the most part the markets kept me frustrated all the way into the close. Many of my new trade ideas blew up on me. I stopped out on LFT after an ugly reversal. I was actually able to get in at a good price (32.59) and bailed out at 30.20 for a 7.33% loss. So much for that stock. On the flipside, there were several current holdings in the 'folio that did just fine. These stocks are the cream of the crop and boast the strongest RS in comparison to all the other stocks within the U.S.stock market. The one thing that has me a bit uneasy is the fact that I haven't really found any new high quality stocks to buy. Sure there are still plenty of lower-priced speculative issues floating around but nothing to really get me excited about buying. The amount of negative reversals has me a little queasy as well. I may just be over analyzing the situation though. We'll have to wait and see how the week ends. Keep an eye on earnings for ASIA and CRDC for tomorrow. ASIA already reported earnings and CRDC is due to let the new spill tomorrow morning.

Stocks that Did Well: APPY, AXYS, BIOS, CRDC, HNSN, KHD

Keep Adding To Your Winners....

Today is a good day to add to current winners. There are alot of previously bought stocks that continue to show strength. Newer buys may contain a bit more risk as they are still unproven in your portfolio. This is why it is important to add to your top-performing stocks first and then buy any new positions with the remaining available funds. This ensures that your best stocks continue to rack up more gains and limits your exposure to unproven stocks.

What I'm adding to: APFC, APPY, SQNM for now....

In Play: APPY, SLI, SSRX

APPY is in the midst of working on its pivot point. SLI has a nice bounce off the 50 day MA. Cut your loss with a close below the 50 day MA. SSRX has formed a decent pivot point. Notice how it has bounced off today's low. The stock was down over 7% earlier and it has regained some strength. Cut your loss on it if it drops 7% from the new buy point.

In Play: APPY, CATS

APPY is attempting to build a pivot point after it retraced a bit for the week on low volume. CATS launched off a pivot at its 10 day MA and is displaying tremendous strength in its uptrend.

Despite Fears of an Imminent Market Correction, Several Bullish Chart Patterns Emerge- Part 2-The Stocks & Charts

Here are several stocks that I like. They are all showing interesting chart patterns and displaying technical strength


Stocks: AEY, HA, MCZ, NEOG, NG

AEY


Although I suffered a loss on AEY the last time I traded it, I still believe that the stock can make a good trade at the current price level. This is mostly due to the strong bounce off of the 50 day MA on robust volume. A small position is key at first. If it continues to improve, add more.


HA

HA has recently reclaimed its 50 day MA on huge surges of volume. This is signaling some institutional interest in the stock and may hint towards future upward moves.


MCZ

MCZ has successfully bounced off its 200 day MA on higher volume. The current price level provides a low-risk entry right above the 50 day MA.


NEOG

NEOG is a thinly traded stock that is experiencing increased volume during the last few trading sessions. The stock has recently announced strong Q1 earnings which is mostly likely the reason for the renewed interest in this NEOG.


NG


With gold stocks beginning to move into positive territory, it is a no-brainer for me to include a gold stock. NG is currently one of my favorite gold/silver setups. It has recently reclaimed its 50 day MA and has no strayed far from it, allowing one a low-risk entry into the stock.

Stocks to Add to:
Add to- APPY, BIDZ, CLDA, JST, POSH, SIMC, SQNM




I will try to post some more picks for tomorrow. In addition, I will try to mention some of the current stocks that one should add more to. Later.

What's Hot and What's Not...
Today was a rather hit or miss type of day. There were several stocks that did quite well and there were others that I wish I never bought or mentioned. But that's how the market is. It's all about getting rid of the poor performing stocks as soon as possible and buying the ones that continue to show improvement.
So, lets take a look and see which stocks were hot and which ones flopped..

Hot Stock: ANW, APPY, BIDZ, CLDA, JST, SIMC, SQNM

Flopped: FSIN, PAET, BLOG, HURC, LNOP, OMTR, TSL, YGE

Sells: BLOG, LNOP, PAET, TSL, YGE

Slightly redeemed themselves: AERO, JASO, REDF

End of Day Recap

Overall, today was a good day. Most of my top holdings held their own and ended up posting modest gains. Some of today's favorites were APPY, AXYS, and BKR. Others such as EXM and SNDA ended up closing negative, mostly from profit taking. I will try and post some stock picks and trade ideas for tomorrow a bit later.

After Market Check Up: DJIA creates a Pivot Point
Okay, so I didn't get to sell CPSL at 11 and I didn't get a chance to pick up more BKR at its LOD. But still, it's all good. The impressive 3 day run in APPY has already made up for both of those small mishaps. In addition, the DJIA and NASDAQ have managed to improve their chart setups and have even created pivot points. These pivot points are a bullish indication which show that the financial markets are more resilient to the current credit worries and housing slump. This current patch of market strength should make the rest of the week more interesting.
