Stock Picks and Trade Ideas for Tuesday

New Buy Candidates: ABPI, FADV, LL, SKIL, SOA (oversold bounce), VLNC, WSCI

New Short Sale Candidates:

Add To: SCL


Note: ABPI is already not a good buy candidate. With the stock down over 70%, I would avoid it.
VLNC was re-added to the list of buy candidates. I like VLNC's chart quite a bit right now. I may pick some up on a small dip.

SkillSoft (SKIL) is running amuk right now! 79% owned by the institution. Executives are going to make a killing with the pop.

I like SKIL but the chart is not exactly a perfect setup. I do not like the fact that it did not have a lot of time to base and work on its base pattern above the 50 day Ma. It basically just shot up on a wave of buying. Now it looks extended. I just posted it as a potential buy. Right now I will be just watching it and not buying.

I'm in it. I liked the volume and motivation behind it. It had quick 20% writtin all over it, to me. ...at minimum, if you were buying in on the dips today, you exit breaking even or with a paper cut. With all that media attention on it though (web press), it's bound to bring in the late-to-the-party crowd and setup for a sell into strength.

...fundimental wise, the majority of the companies that use skill soft (including mine) are military and big corp. Skill soft manages that "must-have" training like Substance Abuse quarterly training, or sexual harassment. I think we're all going to find that while all us "little folk" were worried about recession talk, the military and big corp kept spending. ...actually, I suppose that's the basis of Cycle theories ;)

Chad,

I decided to skip out on it for now. I could've grabbed some a little under 11 but I decided to wait for a bigger dip. I didn't come so I missed the buy today. Good job on grabbing some. You seem to be more familiar with SKIL and its fundamentals (which is good). I've been rather hesitant in making new buys lately. I'm still waiting to spot that one perfect chart setup. Anyway, best of luck with SKIL.

Yeah, man, I know what you mean about waiting for the one! I've been very quick on some of my recent buys but I'm still holding on to the potential "bear" turn. Like you've been hinting at, this is all a little too easy; too good to be over.

-Chad.
