Interrupting the Bear Party in This Name
As I mentioned in my last post, I went long Pandora, playing for the heavily-shorted beaten-down name to snapback back before earnings later this month on April 23rd. On the daily chart, below, note the 50-day moving average (dark blue line) sloping down with price for quite some time now. If even a snapback, counter-trend rally is going...

Going Long a Destitute Stock; Chess Moves
I went long at Pandora at $16.63 with a protective stop-loss below $15.75. Pandora is a hated stock for many reasons, most notably the performance of the stock in recent quarters as well as competition in the online personal radio music business. But I think the stock can squeeze its numerous shorts higher before earnings in a few weeks. I...

A Market of Warriors
Although the major indices have yet to break to new highs, many individual names are starting to perk up and fight hard for breakouts. CRM was a name we looked at over the weekend as a long idea, acting well today with its strength up and out of the highlighted daily chart consolidation, below. Other similar setups are CUDA and CYBR. In...

Blending in Well
The triumvirate of plays on the shift from written to electronic medical records, CERN MRGE QSII, are acting reasonably well, led by MRGE. CERN is next in line as the larger cap name, followed by QSII as more of a speculative play. MRGE and CERN seem to be blending in well to any market rotations taking place, as both stocks have been basing...

You Can't Roll with That...or Can You?
Although I have been deriding the broken charts of P and YELP for many quarters now, downtrending junior marquee issues (with decent institutional sponsorship obviously not too keen on them now, therefore neither should we), if the market is going to start rewarding the ugly charts out there this quarter we should now pay closer attention to...

Opening Day Not Just for Baseball
One of the themes from my Weekend Video Strategy Session was to be on guard for fresh money rotations to begin the new quarter of trading. While April officially kicked off last week, the holiday-shortened nature of the trading likely means that this week will be a better gauge of whether that capital is going. In the face of the sharp upside...

What's LUV Got to Do with This Rally; Chess Moves
With many airlines and transports in general selling off despite the broad market rally, I am going to take more advantage of it. I just covered another piece of my LUV short here at $41.13. My initial entry was last week at $43.44, followed by my $42.94 add. I took partial profits this morning, but now the stock is sinking even lower. I...

A Sultry Move in Gold; Chess Moves
I just sold down another piece of of NUGT long at $11.85 from my $10.31 entry last week to scale profits. NUGT is the triple-levered long ETF derived from the GDX, ETF for the senior gold miners. I had previously scaled part of the position into initial strength late-last week, and I am now down to 1/3 of my core position size. The original...

Still the Prey, Not the Hunter
Tesla Motors (TSLA) is up sharply along with the market this morning on reports of strong first quarter vehicle sales. For a while now, the stock has been technically weak. And that remains the case even with this morning's short squeeze. As to the issue of where we go from here, note the daily chart for TSLA, below, showing price now back to...
