Waiting to See Their True Colors
Two trade setups I am watching can be found below. I am also short CAT, seen on the first daily chart. But I am looking to add to my bet if the stock can now churn a bit at its lower Bollinger Band on the highlighted (in purple) triangle breakdown. If so, I am considering an add to the bearish bet to play for an eventual break of the key $80...

The Impenetrable Fort Biotech
With the IBB ETF flipping green this morning, bears continue to struggle even in a down tape to crack those leading, winning, if not steep, biotechnology stocks which have been on a tear for several years now. Until that changes, I am likely to keep my shorts focused on individual stocks, and when I do short sectors and indices I will have one...

Surviving the Dust Bowl; Chess Moves
After scaling an initial piece yesterday, I just sold more of my DUST (triple-bearish ETF betting against the gold miners in the GDX) long above $15.50 from my posted $14.61 entry yesterday. I am now down to a 1/2 sized position in DUST, moving my stop-loss up to my entry price. As we discussed previously, when GDX lost its 50-day moving...

Fun First Date Ideas
While other IPOs from 2014 have been struggling mightily, namely BABA GPRO HABT LOCO MBLY, Dave & Buster's has been all fun and games. On the daily chart, below, note the recent basing action for PLAY after its strong uptrend off the October 2014 IPO. This is the quintessential low float/short squeeze play to get some violence to the upside,...

A Tough Game for Swingers
Trading Russia and crude oil has been a particularly choppy proposition for swing traders of late, as both charts (using the RSX and USO proxies, respectively) are still in overarching downtrends after effective crashes, trying to base out. To the bottom-callers' credit, though, both crude and Russia have not been kind to bears pressing for...

A Quick Spot for a Paper Tiger; Chess Moves
As I noted in my last blog post, I went long DUST at $14.61 with a tight stop-loss below $14.30. This position is about 4% of my trading portfolio. DUST is the triple-bearish ETF for gold miners. The miners have been struggling of late, and the GDX (from which DUST is derived) may be losing its 50-day moving average (dark blue line) today,...

Lunchtime Observations and a Chess Move
Despite the weakness in healthcare and especially biotechnology issues today, names like OREX illustrate the danger of shorting individual names in that space here. That is one reason why I prefer to go long BIS for shorting the sector, in lieu of individual names, especially with the elevated risk of wild short squeezes and M&A activity at any...

Active Trader's Guide to Apple
We looked at the $130.30 level on AAPL as being an important short-term point of reference for active and day-traders in this large, liquid, premier stock. Updating that analysis, note that chart patterns can and often do morph into larger ones. And on the 30-minute chart for the heavily-weighted Nasdaq issue, we can see the highlighted...

Just Someplace Warm, Ok?
As March comes in like a lion for many parts of the country, the market is pausing a bit this morning. My positions are drifting against me, with my CRTO long slightly red my CAT short rallying a bit higher. I have been playing super tight of late, opting for a grinding approach of very small losses and scaling fast gains in UGA after locking...
