Svelte's Sunday Shorts

I agree with Thean; its difficult to discern just where the market wants to go. Small caps staged a rally of sorts on Friday while the Nifty Fifty and the blue chips didn't participate. The Internut sector that I watch staged a late afternoon rally. Down deep, I think this ragged rebound is perhaps a bull trap. I'm not convinced that "everything is OK now" and we're on the way to 10,000 DOW.

That said, what shorts am I looking at for Monday:

NFS (Nationwide Financial Service)

iqc.com

To me this chart looks ugly. NFS reported in-line earnings last week on 8/3 and the "sell on the news" commenced. Support at around 44-45. This is a short term short for 2 points or so.

FDX (FedEx)

iqc.com

Not a pretty sight. FDX was under selling pressure Friday and ended the week in a vulnerable position. Broke thru support at 60 on fairly high volume. In addition to a "technical short" FDX does have some serious problems with its Asia strategy (unlike UPS).

To be continued. . .
