Review of current holdings:
BVEW long long term play 6-9 months starting to get really tired of watching this one trade.
CWON - short longer term short, might be a zero. will add 8.50-9.00 no stop
DLIA short another pos Target is $4.00 will add at 7.00 no stops here medium term position tons of strength lately
GADZ long forward pe under 8 holding medium term. target 17s I might reduce some of this holding tomorrow, as I am net long right now, which I hate.
HBIO - long nice value oriented long play coming off large lockup last week. nice support at high 7s target 10s - 1-2 weeks nice holding to balance some shorts
IDN short what a pos this is!!!!!!!!!!! target mid 6s Next add at 13.00 longer term if needed here no stops strength reappeared today, hard to break AMEX stocks sometimes.
MFNX short Its either me or them, one of us will run out of cash:-) see you all at ZERO the dump continued today would love to add at 6.50
MRVC - long bounced smartly today of the lows, hopefully follow through tomorrow. value play based on LMNE spinoff this summer very short term target 11 or might just short LMNE on any pump to hedge the position and exploit the possible arbitrage. stop loss will play by ear.
PCLN short former internut with lots of new competition longer term play will add 9.00-9.50 not sure if I will use a stop here at all target low 6s
RSTO short gigantic run from 1.50 to 7.00 over 5 weeks. time for a major retrace target 4.00 no stop will add near 8.00 being a bid stubborn here
STEM - short what a pos, total hype this is a major former ATM for me I would love to see 7s to really build a sizable position. will add at 6 major resistance at 6.00 no stops here of any kind target mid 3s
TIVO boxed and neutral what a pump and dump this was, a classic. should be out of cash before yearend gigantic loses
VIXL short major pos, but probably not a zero started with 1/4 position and hope it goes higher so I can add will add at 6 and 7 no stops here longer term position will try to cover around $4
WGAT - short ugly fundamentals the dump started today. add 7.25-7.50 target 4.00 no stops
WGRD - long reasonable valuation here Lots of insider buying last 2 weeks tremendous support at 7.00 target 8.50 stop loss 6.75
I covered 3 short positions today leaving me 3 to 2 net long. (I hate being net long)
14th straight profitable trading day today for me. Nice streak.
Make sure you allocate well on your shorts. If you are adding to existing short positions, please use larger % intervals for now (25% or so) Show lots of patience on potential new positions, maybe even start smaller than usual until a clear down direction is seen. Try to use the 3 day rule of pumping before starting a new position, unless something very special.
Nasdaq has had lots of trouble between 2250-2300 level, nice resistance here. A breakout of these level could take the NAZ to the 2500-2600 level.
Summer rally might be coming, be extra careful on shorting. Almost any warning is meet by immediate buying (seems ridiculous)
Watch for July 17 as big reversal day. Summer rally ran out of steam around this date 3 straight years.
Market bounce back strong today, probable continuation tomorrow, unless we see further major warnings.
I have several times stated a very general rule I like to use, here it is again: Often markets and individual stocks tend to move in 3 day trends and reverse a bit. (this is very general) This is what happen today, as we had the 3rd straight day of selling)
Buy the Champs and Short the Chumps
