Need a Follow Through...

either to the upside or downside. At this point it is a bit too difficult to tell, but I am biased towards the long side...

Bullish Pivot

This type of bounce is exactly what I was waiting for. But, we need a follow through day (which should also place us above the 200 day MA) to make this an official start to a new uptrend. At this point, the market is very vulnerable and could face resistance right under the 200 day MA (at least for the DJIA and the S&P500). The NASDAQ and RUT have all successful bounced off the 200day MA and look healthy, suggesting that small and micro-cap stocks will lead the new rally (if there is one). I will post some new buy candidates later on tonight.


Stocks to Watch and Possibly Buy: AKRX, CBOU, LGL, LIOX, LOGM, PWER, RDEA, SHLO, SPRD, VCI

New Short Trade Ideas

In case of further weakness, here are several stocks that are breaking down and showing strong downward momentum: ASIA, CHUX, CYD, DGW, MNKD, PBH, TRIT, VIT

Most of the stocks on the list are China stocks which have been getting hit quite hard the last few trading sessions. Most of these have more downside to go and should be treated as longer term short sell trades.

Sell in May?

It would be great to know exactly what day the sell off would occur, but of course this may not be possible. The only thing that we can do is be cautious and proactive in our trading. One down day does not define a trend, so its rather hard to time the market. For now it may be a good idea to just let things pan out and take some profits. Here are some long and short trade ideas for consideration:

New Buy Candidates: AMRN, BTN, CSTR (jumped in on Friday and got filled in the low 44 range), ELTK, IDSA, ISLN, JRN, KOG, LOOK, MHR, NKTR, NR, SBSA (previous winner), SIMO

Short Candidates: AEA, AGYS, DEER, ENP, QDEL
