Long Gogo Into the Bell; Chess Moves
Into the closing bell, I went long GOGO at $19.93 for a daily chart bull flag/short squeeze breakout. My stop-loss is under $19. GOGO is a heavily-shorted stock, and for good reason--The in-flight WiFi firm was smashed after is IPO last year. But not it may be trying to come back to life. And the daily chart indicates as much, with a bull...

Covering Up Some Late-Winter Laggards; Chess Moves
Staying true to my word, I am going to ditch a few of my holdings in order to either lock in wins, prevent winners from turning into losers, or keep losses small. Specifically, I covered my CMG short at $669.64 from my entry of $660.16 for a loss. I would rather step aside here than risk the name drifting up on me without a profit cushion....

Shifting Gears; Chess Moves
I covered the rest of my FB short, just now at $78.78 from my $80.19 posted entry and rolled that money over to a new TSLA short at $190.88. I had previously scaled half of the FB short here at $77.88 . While FB may just be getting started in terms of rolling over, I am seeing more relative weakness today out of TSLA. And I know I can always...

One popular declaration is that long-term overhead supply (or likely resistance which...

Symmetry Worth Observing
Headed into the east coast lunch hour, the S&P 500 Index is coming to terms with prior resistance from Tuesday morning's gap down in the market. Specifically, on the SPY, actively-traded ETF for the S&P, we can see as much on the 30-minute chart below. $206.80, just above, acted as resistance thus far today. Headed into the afternoon, I am...

Keep an Eye Out for Barnes and These Other Ideas
Starting with Barnes (B) on the first daily chart, below, here are a few actionable long setups on the radar if today marks the beginning of a broad market rally. I still have my doubts as to whether we are going to imminently sprint back to new highs from here. But it is always important to be open-minded and prepared to shift gears in a New...

A Clear Setup for the Underwater Names
With the U.S. Dollar finally pausing, at least thus far this morning, I am keeping an eye out for silver. We know silver has been dreadful over the last six weeks especially. But it may be ripe for a quick bounce trade on the long side. On the daily chart for the silver ETF, below, note yesterday's "hammer" upside reversal candlestick (it...
