Stopped out @ 3.88. SNP stalled, let's get out in light of current market correction. SOHU is approaching support level at 30, if it holds up, then go long again with target 35 annd stop right below 30.Posted by btr Thu, 25 Sep 2003 03:29:08 GMT
Triggered by OPEC's cut in oil production, all indexes dropped a lot. Although they were above or at support levels, the increased volume was troublesome.
EBAY hit the target @56 though the intraday high was 57.2. Left a lot of money on the table due to lack of time on watching the market closely.
Long: QQQ Oct 32 Puts, SNP (target 28 and trail 2), SUNW (trail 0.3) and MSFT SSF (target 31.5 and stop 28).

NT broke out from its base and moved up in a hugh way! It's right at the resistence near 4 and next one at 5. Since the rise is so sharp, locking in the profit now should be priority.

Slowly moving August is over. After this comming Labor Day week, trading volume should be picking up as traders return from their summer vacations. NASDAQ has reached new high and INDU and SPX are approaching its recent high respectively. All markets have done some base building, we will find out wheither or not they will break out or go down. Short term wise, it looks the market will move up a little. Short: QQQ Oct 32 Put (it's not working obviously after QQQ's big run up). Long: HNP (I have been waiting for opportunity to own some HNP shares), SUNW, SOHU and MSFT (SSF).While 2011 was a roller coaster as far as the overall market is concerned, there were a handful of bright spots. After doing a stock screen at FINVIZ for the top performing stocks year to date (YTD) with volume of atleast 100,000 shares per day, there were a total of 31 stocks that broke the 100% re more

The ECB's got the formula all wrong, says Art Cashin.
