That's a quick glance for who will be reporting in the am, just thrown up here as a quick reminder, potential trades. You can see is a good crossection of sectors, oil/energy, cable, biotech, automotive & transports/airline (UPS UAL AAL).. and heavy quipment industrial mining with CAT & FCX. But real trades will be continuations tomorow from tonight's reports out of AAPL , QCOM, FaceBook , those above just a reminder but the behavior of others offer an insight into market topping etc. The better trades recently have been bounces in the smaller momo biotechs that got taken apart/shorted down but finally rebounding +20-25% like ACAD ISIS or CLDX . Other good performers thru the latest swoon were SLB FANG PXD & EOG in the energies, Putin/Russia/Ukraine having some effect there, rising gas etc. Question is will AAPL be able to pop higher than the resisitance tonight at 568 to 575 and Facebook to 65 after both turning in good reports? There will be sector sympathy plays as well, but i dont post all that here, we do that off another site, there's no interest in trading here anymore, just mostly a poiltical coffee shop site it seems. Here's the resistance for AAPL 568/570 area , should lift some tech boats tomorrow, at the same time the market is getting a little toppy again, still many earnings to get thru, finally they decided to split 7-1 but the R is easy to see AAPL popped twice tonite to 568 for two $4 shorts, longs were well rewarded, now to see where the ball stops tomorrow, aren't those price labels handy? The 568 is ez to see, lets assume 570 or higher gets tagged maybe, then proftaking.

FFIV got a pass tonight, guidance was Q3 revs $428M-$438M vs $428.7M. The company said, "Looking out to the second half of fiscal 2014, we believe we can continue to build on the momentum we generated in the first two quarters of the year." Not a huge bump a/h could get as high as 115 before would initiate a short trade for scalp, that would be a double top area on the daily, not much to trade there, guidance just ok, doubt 115 gets surpassed. The big winner was last week on CMG always the potential 5 figure options play, burrito maker topping off in sales & raising prices again knocked that momo down.

FFIV wasnt going anywhere fast , guidance was fair/midland as mentioned, gap fade from near the double top good for about 5 bucks, hit with profitaking as expected in this market. * AMZN hit resistance tonight twice up near the 50ma above @$346 tonight for two shorts initiated there each yielding $7 each....AAPL short at the open from 570 area mentioned was good for $8, just plan the trades around the pivots.. * Hope that Saudi prince who bought 10k of AMZN tonight at $345 is feeling good...BIDU turned in some great numbers got rewarded some R in the 170s. KLAC guidance not too good, LVS they're still gambling up storm in Macau, DECK put on a mini squeeze.
