Traders Expo Las Vegas

Anyone going to be at the TE in LV later this Month. If so, let me know and let's say hello to each other....face-to-face.

Monday Watch List

Working on thoughts...

1. I am looking for a rebound on Monday Morning, which might not last though.
2. I view the short term trend as down.
3. I would not bank on the above so I would not hold over Monday night.
4. Read my "Rules of the Road" if you haven't already. http://at-stk.blogspot.com/2009/10/morning-stock-watch-list.html

Stock pick of week (ha ha)...

NVTL for a rebound (interesting article in Barron on it). What I would like to see is a further down at the open, then up, then a higher low. Or if it gaps up, a consolidation and then a break above the daily VWAP.

Possible plays for further down:

WTR, ARNA, CAB, NRG, STX, SAH, JOE, TCB, UBS, USG (note #1 above as a caution, since if we do rebound, further shorting on these, looking for a follow through would be more risky...at best might be very short lived.

Possible better short: WYNN (maybe other casinos), GS

Best of the Bullish (gee there actually are some!):
DEO, MXB, SYMC

Others:
BARE, EL, K

Wednesday...redux

Didn't post on Wednesday, everything I saw was a short (though the Inverse ETF's are technically longs). So I traded short today and several Inverse ETF's. Decent day but it was a tough one for me to get the right size position and handle the stops appropriate to the volatility. We will see what Thursday brings. Tweet me if you want to dialog on Thursday...or anytime
