One New Featured Long Position, One New Speculative Featured Long Position, And One Stock I Am Adding To My Existing Featured Long Position For Thursday’s Stock Market Session

All three longs tonight are of extremely high quality. The only problem with OTEX and GFA is that buying them with a market order this far from the 50 DMA is very risky. Therefore, I must recommend limit orders. And for those of you that do not know where to put the limit order, you [...]

Three New Short Positions For Thursday’s Stock Market Session

For the first time this week, we actually have short positions. However, I am not so sure that this is the end of the bullish trend and a possible start of a downtrend. Instead, it appears that these are past leaders that are simply being sold off so a rotation of money into new leaders [...]

No New Short Positions For Wednesday’s Stock Market Session

There were a lot of stocks in my main short scan tonight. But as the case has been the past few weeks, everything in the scan is either too extended from the top, is showing strong intraday support, has some kind of technical positive divergence on the chart, and/or is breaking lower on lower volume. [...]

No New Long Positions And One Stock I Am Adding To My Existing Speculative Featured Long Position For Wednesday’s Stock Market Session

Today’s stock market session was officially the slowest session for longs in my scan within an overall “upward trending” day as there was only one new potential long candidate at the closing bell (I DO NOT WATCH INTRADAY QUOTES; instead I scan my charts on telechart with 20 minute delayed data). Well at the EOD [...]

DSTI 4-21-05 to 7-18-05

DSTI was one of my biggest positions in 2005 with it making up a very large chunk of my account as the chart, as you can see, was nearly perfect, even though the fundies were not. The top was nearly impossible to spot but it was still a powerful move in a short amount of [...]

No New Short Positions For Tuesday’s Stock Market Session

There were no new short positions for Tuesday that showed up in my scans. Not only that, there is nothing even close to being a short right now in my high priced stock scan which shows the stocks before my other short scans do. It looks like it is a low volume rally. It is [...]

One New Featured Long Position, One New Speculative Featured Long Position, And Three Stocks I Am Adding To My Existing Long Positions

Despite the very low volume in the market today, my long scans were VERY active and there were a lot of fine candidates to take. However, I have narrowed them down to the only stocks that completely interest me. GFA is probably going to be our most solid stock with it being RIGHT at the [...]

IST 3-16-04 to 12-01-04

IST was by far my best long in 2004 as this was a huge position in my portfolio as I went very long this stock on a lot of margin. Since this particular chart setup, I do not believe I have seen one as POWERFUL on the breakout buy signal. So this is a chart [...]

Two New Featured Long Positions And Two New Speculative Long Positions For Monday’s Stock Market Session

There are only two stocks that are good to go long if you are an inexperienced active-investor and those are, of course, the two Featured long candidates. However, we, ONCE AGAIN, do not have perfect chart setups and every long listed has a problem. First, CLR was once a long for us back in March. [...]

No New Short Positions For Monday’s Stock Market Session

The stock market was very active with shorts on Monday, despite there only being one taken. Today however we were back to the usual selection of stocks that are either too far away from the 50 DMA, had big intraday tails, and/or were down already way too much from the top to be a safe [...]
