Former Market Leaders Continue to Fall Hard/ Some Short Sale Candidates

With the current negative market action, it shouldn't be a surprise that the former bull market leading stocks are taking it to the chin today. AAPL, DRYS, GOOG, PTR, RIMM, SNP

The Risky/Highly Volatile Shorts

LDK short. LDK has already fallen quite a bit from its highs and was one of the first solar plays to get hammered. I would short it only if it nears the 50 day MA. If you short it too far away from its 50 day MA, you are increasing your risk on the short trade.

MFW short. Previously, MFW was a strong stock that ran from 18/20 up to 70 in a matter of months. Now it is looking weak and decrepit. Now is a good time to short a bit of it.

SHI short. SHI, a former China high flier has pierced its 200 day MA once again. I am looking for further weakness in the stock before shorting. A high volume drop is all that it needs to confirm it as a short.
