Today's MFCA Trade Candidates 12/21/07   —  Market Note The markets have displayed their habitual behavior as a major holiday arrives. It is tough for me to characterize this positive price action as a sign that the downside has been contained, because it is still on lower volume and not broad based. Yes, the NASDAQ volume was higher yesterda...

Today's MFCA Trade Candidates 12/19/07   —  I always like to see market advances on heavier volume, but I would not argue that the market action yesterday was nearly enough to rethink my cautious market outlook. There was some evidence that traders were defending the trend of a handful of market leaders, but it was not a resounding bullish th...

SLB   BTJ   MFCA Trade Candidate Note 12/18/07   —  Moving forward, my morning lists will be providing short and long ideas. They will be divided with titles of Short Candidates and Long Candidates. Very straightforward, but just wanted to alert readers to that change. Some shorts I am watching include SLB, LAVA, BTJ, ATI, COH, and SBUX. A full li...

MFCA Trade Candidates 12/18/07   —  There will not be a posting of long trade candidates today. It is my view that buying on the long side at this moment is not the most prudent trading decision. I will be posting some short trade candidates later in the day.

What's Coming For The Markets? 12/18/07   —  The continued selling yesterday further undermined the remaining stock leadership for the equity markets. There is a saying that goes 'when they raid the cupboard they eventually take everything'. This is the case in the equity markets. There are no safe havens right now. Last night as I w...

ADRS   Emerging Markets Looking Weak 12/17/07   —  One of the key areas of stock leadership in the United States equity markets has been the ADRs of a number of emerging market companies. The charts below show that these markets are showing some troubling signs.

Gap Fill Increasingly Likely for S&P 500 12/17/07   —  The S&P 500 has slashed through the neckline on a 60 min. head-and-shoulders pattern which may usher in a move down to 1420-1430.

Today's MFCA Trade Candidates 12/17/07   —  Market Note: I spent some time this weekend reviewing my work and the market in order to get a fresh perspective on the market. It is my conclusion that the market MAY (not ready to throw in the towel completely, but short term outlooked has turned to cautious) have peaked in October for the S&P...

On The Sidelines 12/14/07   —  There a few things that have emerged in the last three days that are of concern that have prompted me to close my remaining long positions in favor of reviewing my work and my market outlook. I believe that being successful in trading requires tremendous discipline, but there are a few moments when ...

Big Pain In Chile 12/14/07   —  The stock market in Chile has not been very kind this week as it is sitting with declines of over 9% for the week as of trading today. Chile has been the classic commodities play over the last few years as copper catapulted to record highs. Yesterday, the central bank surprised markets by raising the...

PFWD   RS   PFWD - Crouching Breakout Failure 12/14/07   —  In Covestor I provided a rationale as to why I cut my PFWD position on December 6. I had entered the position on November 28. I had been monitoring the price strength of PFWD as it held the 10-week moving average in November while the market was being sold. The building RS and the favorable comparabl...

Beware! 12/14/07   —  In reviewing the charts now that my systems are up shows a head & shoulders pattern developing on the S&P 500 and NASDAQ for the 60 minute chart. A break of the neckline will usher in a move to at least the gap from late November.

Today's MFCA Trade Candidates 12/14/07   —  Due to technical difficulties in my office I will be unavailable to publish today's candidates prior to the market open. I hope to at least publish new ideas later on in the day. I encourage traders to turn to yesterday's candidates for their pre-market work. I apologize for the problem....

Market Volatility Is A Reality 12/13/07   —  From my perspective traders have been slow to embrace the change in the trend for market volatility. The VIX broke it's multi-year down trend earlier this year and now is clearly in an uptrend. Quite simply, traders need to adjust their trading accordingly to reflect this new market environment....

Stay Engaged! 12/12/07   —  The fluctuations in the market over the last day and half have once again blanketed trading with a sense of nervousness. But, this nervousness can be a good thing as it weeds out the weaker holders in the market. My view is for traders to stay engaged and let the leading stocks in your portfolio te...

Another One Bites The Dust! 12/11/07   —  Boy, am I glad another Fed meeting has passed. There are going to be those who think they were right and those who will think they were wrong. But, that is just media filler. The question is; what do the leading stocks think? At this moment my leadership screens have suffered some selling, but th...
