    Two Short Positions I’ll Be holding Overnight

    I'm getting a little bearish here on this massive ramp-up into tomorrow night's Job Speech by President Obama. As a result, I've taken on two new short positions in Bank United (BKU) at $23.00 and Vimpel Communications (VIP) at $10.48. SHORT: VimpelCom (VIP) SHORT: BankUnited (BKU)

    Two Trades Made So Far Today

    Two new trades today in AES Corp (AES) at $10.70 and Central European Distribution (CEDC) at $6.75 both of which are currently in the green, and both of which you could have jumped in with me on if you were in the SharePlanner Chat Room, which is free of course. LONG: AES Corp (AES) LONG:

    Long XIV at $7.84

    Here's my one and only trade so far this morning - a wild trade for sure when volatility is at its peak, so stop-losses are a must with this one. I have about half the normal position size that I would use on a trade, so that allows me to have a fairly generous spread

  • HCP – Look For Another Significant Breakdown

    I've never actually traded this stock before, despite the fact that it is listed on the S&P 500, however, the clearly marked support and resistance levels are undeniable. So much so, that I believe this is a fairly safe short-setup should it push back up in to the $36 range. Especially with that 200-day moving

  • Amazon At Support and Ready to Bounce Higher

    Amazon.com (AMZN) has one of the more appealing setups to benefit from should this market continue to bounce as it has today (Make sure to check out my previous post on my market observations from today). With AMZN, you have a stock that has not sold off to the same degree that the market has

  • Is Apple (AAPL) Worth Buying Here?

    Just this week, Apple (AAPL) passed up Exxon Mobil (XOM) as the largest corporation in the S&P. That is incredible for a company that sells cell phones, computers and fancy walkmans. Their recent earnings, just like all the others, blew away estimates and surged beyond $400/share. However with the recent calamities in the

  • 5 Breakouts For Raising Your Profit Ceiling

    While Congress is consumed with bickering on how to make our country even worse off, by increasing the debt ceiling, we’re more interested in determining how to increase our ‘profit-ceiling’. Maybe the Fed should consider a paradigm shift.

  • 5 Trade Setups While Waiting For The Market To Do Something

    Quiet day in the market so far, and its not tanking (...yet) and is managing to hold on to yesterday's gains (biggest day of the year for the Dow). I've made a number of trades, today, and overall I'm doing fine on the heals of the breakout we got in Hansen Medical (HNSN) today. By

  • 6 Breakout Plays in a Sea of Red

    After the huge ramp up we saw in to Friday's close, it looked like we were setting up nicely for a potential rally this week, but if Monday is any indication of what lies for the week ahead, then it could be a royal disaster for the bulls out there. However, that doesn't mean that
