LAST POST

All things must pass

- George Harrison

I have accepted a position at a major financial institution and am grateful for the opportunity. I regret that I am required to shut down the blog.

I want to thank all of those who read, commented, and learned from the postings over the past 1 1/2 years.

I leave you with the last image of Allen Farms in Chilmark, MA on the island of Martha's Vineyard. It has alway's been my goal to purchase a residence in that area when I made enough through trading to do so. I am not there yet but I have a feeling it will be soon enough.

Trade well,

Trader D

High Risk Pick

Tonight's EXTREMELY RISKY STOCK PICK IS.........QTWW.

Fuel cells for really cool looking cars are getting a lot of play. Technically we could see a rise back up for great percentage gains.

LOOP

LOOP is going to have to increase the volume (say to 11?) to get going!

Great Day

The shorts don't want to be caught with their pants down. True Religion (TRLG) may shoot higher here if it can break above resistance.


We had a fantastic day with all of our longs and the shorts (SRS) caused no damage. Keep on taking profits as the dow eyes 10,000 once again.

And for the bad news...

The STAR and LOOP are working out great as the market surges higher. But.....beware! One of the main indicators we use (ADX) went negative last week and investors HAVE to remain cautious. Just an fyi as we are grateful for the nice profits today.

Key Points

we wanted to point out a few key points in the S&P 500 chart that readers of this blog know quite well by now:

1) The GAP we have been highlighting the past two weeks worked out perfectly as resistance. No one should be surprised by the action today
2) The SRS trade allowed our portfolio to be hedged very well, along with selling a few of the recent picks as they broke below the 50 day MA
3) the ADX line is very close to crossing to negative which will cause the market to be in for a rough patch going forward (easy money...not so much anymore)
4) we still like STAR and LOOP and will hold them until they start to crack.

Support

Many of our "speculative" picks this week are starting to head south and are at or close to the 50 day MA. We are using that as support and exiting just a scoosh below. When the market starts to turn down from overbought levels there is NO REASON to stay invested in risky investments. The MBI and SRS helped us out greatly this week and we will be on the lookout for a turnaround.

Something about Mondays during late September and October makes us get a little weeezy.

That's RAD dude

Buying some Rite-aid stores (RAD) as it brushes up against the 50 day MA. We usually don't
like these small caps but it is worth the risk especially with the tremendous volume lately.

Metabolix (MBLX)

Another great chart looking to move higher with light volume and a large short position. It seems like the shorts may finally be capitulating as we get deeper into this Bull Run.

Real Estate on fire

we are taking our fantastic profits from MBI today and rolling them into
LoopNet (LOOP). This is another commercial real estate play with a massive
short position that looks ready to go.
