Watchlist & Stock Picks 2/2/09

I'm liking the following for a long:

CRA
DF
APOG
QQQQ
BJS
CAKE

Watchlists

Well, not much of anything has been pulling on the scans lately therefore, I've been watching the same stocks for the last few weeks. I'm glad that I have the watchlists saved seeing as I wouldn't have anything to trade otherwise.

It is relatively expected since the market has been a bit wishy-washy lately, but that doesn't mean we can't make some money!

Wish I had something new to report! Eventually, I'll begin making new watchlists as I get some results on the scans - this is certainly a lesson for any future droughts we might have!

Watchlist & Stock Picks 1/13/09

EK - the moving averages just crossed
FUN - the moving averages just crossed

SYMC
APOG

Watchlist & Stock Picks 1/12/09

Well, I'm not too keen on getting in anything new until I can see a market trend. Maybe later this week I'll see something worth while!

Happy Trading.

I'm still looking at my list from yesterday, but here are the ones that are particularly catching my eye:

LONG:

CHIC
BBV

Watchlist & Stock Picks 1/5/09

Watchlist & Stock Picks 12/22/08

Looks like today's a down day which makes sense after the past few up days. I'm going to hold what I have through the pullback and see who gets to stay after the next rally starts.

Happy Trading!

SDXC - Bought

Bough SDXC at $7.44.

Watchlist & Stock Picks 12/19/08

I'm going to keep what I've got until something really moves. Holiday trading is coming up next week which is usually pretty dead as the pro's are on vacation. I'll update as I see more stocks that are making the pattern that I like.

LONG:

ALK
DIS
FARO
GSIC
MTH
APOG
CMI
XME
AUO
BJS
SYMC
SDXC
ANGO

UPDATE:

I'm eyeing:

QQQQ

SDXC - on a pullback if I get in today.

Watchlist & Stock Picks 12/18/08

Well, we've got another down morning - looks like this is tending to be the norm. On those that I'm watching that are trending up - the support and resistance aren't very far apart, thus once we have an up day we've reached resistance so, naturally it seems that the next day is going to be a down day that will hit support. I hope that support and resistance start to widen up!

I'm going to continue to watch what I've got since I'm trying to execute some real swing trading on these, and I've put a few back on that might look familiar now that they're making the right candlestick patterns:

LONG:

ALK
DIS
FARO
GSIC
MTH
APOG
CMI
XME

NEW:

AUO - back on the list but its pattern isn't very steady
BJS - just had an moving average cross over yesterday
SYMC
SDXC
ANGO - only if it pullsback reasonably - it's looking a little overbought so let's wait for the next few down days to get in.

FSS - Sold

I just sold FSS at $8.23 for a gain per share of $0.53 and a return on investment of 6.9%

RECAP:

FSS B @ $7.70
FSS S @ $8.23

FARO - Bought

Just bought FARO at $16.40.

Watchlist & Stock Picks 12/17/08

MTH
CMI
DIS
FSS
FARO
AGO
GSIC
