Intraday’s STALK LIST email bulletin for Thu May 31
Below is a list of stocks we’ll be watching in the session today Thu, May 31 along with key price levels that will lead us to consider entering a trade. We will be generating this list several times a week, sometimes more frequently and sending them out as market conditions warrant.
Please note that just because a stock trades to the alert price specified, it doesn’t mean we’ll necessarily enter… we’ll also be looking at the broader market action, related sector action, intraday price & volume charts for that issue, 3-minute futures charts, market internals/volume, relevant breaking news, etc. So please feel free to ask educational questions of Deron, Ed, and myself in the room as you study these potential setups.
Based upon customer feedback, this information is already proving useful enough that we will be enhancing the email bulletin over the coming week. Once we have the email reflectors setup properly, this daily bulletin will just go out to Intraday customers, except for an occasional broader mailing or posting on our SI thread.
Market Recap and Sector Notes
What can we say about Tuesday’s session for the techs? Except ugly, ugly AGAIN.
See today’s Trading Summary and Sector Notes on our Silicon Investor thread: Message 15874319 Message 15874511
Potential Shorts
BKX (bank sector). Will look at selling naked calls with a tight stop above consolidation of 930. Ideally want to see a bounce to short into.
BAC Will consider shorting at any price greater than 58.29, so that we don't end up selling short into a gapdown.
JNJ < 97.10 Failed rally today brought it right back down to the bottom of support with not much left to catch it.
PDLI < 71.50 with weak Biotechs.
$DRG.X < 399.50 we may want to short the drugs, especially if tech kicks into gear
WMS < 28.50
BBY < 54
AHP < 62.20
A < 32.70
BGEN < 59.50; or go LONG > 60.50 (depending upon market/sector too)
Potential Longs:
BEAS > 35 with a rebound in Software stocks, Internets, B-B’s
