Trade Setups

It is the end of Q2, and on to the second half of 2014.  And I’ve put together a solid bullish watch-list to take you into Q3. The market is still pushing higher just like we saw in 2013, the only difference is the pace of which it continues to expand higher. It definitely has

S&P 500 is seeing some divergences here on the intraday charts and with the daily charts as well. Particularly when you compare the price action between the S&P 500, SPY and the VIX.  I’m not getting ubber bullish here, but what I am doing is swapping out any of my non-performing positions with those that

The move higher today and the two days prior has been meager at best.  It really concerns me as we come up on the FOMC Statement tomorrow and how easy it would be for any part of the Fed Statement to create a sell-off that easily takes us back below 1925. If that happens the

But in all honestly, these types of conditions really helps me to find out which stocks are the ‘really-bearish’ ones

My weekly bullish trade setups is out! The list is definitely a lot smaller than what we have seen in recent weeks. Much of that has to do with the S&P 500 having rallied eleven of the last thirteen trading sessions. When that happens, stocks are going to become over-extended and much less attractive as

The bearish watch-list has become a moving target in recent weeks But that’s a good thing, that means there is a strong trend in the other direction to pounce on as most of the bearish setups today are seeing a lot of them broken tomorrow, which renders them useless. So what you will want to

This week’s short list of trade setups – Short in size of the list and short in terms of price action.  A lot of the previous short setups, for obvious reasons have fallen prey to the market rally, which is to be expected when the overall market is breaking out to the upside.  I don’t
