On Tuesday, the Nasdaq sold off in the morning, traded sideways
throughout mid-day, and then rallied late in the day. This action has it closing
at multi-month highs.
Ditto for the Ps.
So what do we do?
The S&P closed at multi-month
highs. Most sectors, especially technology, have been performing very well. And,
the energies still appear to be putting in a top. Further, I think that as the
S&P approaches new highs for the year, those that have been sitting on their
hands may be forced in. So far, so good! Or, as Jennifer Trynin says: “I’m
feeling good for now but I know by tomorrow I’ll probably come around.”
Anyway, if you have gotten long recently, look to trial your stops higher. Aggressive traders might want to
continue looking for shorting
opportunities in the energies.
I didn’t seen many meaningful setups tonight. This will likely change with
follow through and a subsequent pullback.
Wednesday’s With Dave
It’s that time again. On Wednesday 08/29/06 at 11:00 AM EST, I will be hosting my weekly interactive lesson.
This week’s schedule is fairly light so I should have plenty enough time to take your questions on
individual issues or trading in general. As usual, admission is free (and I give money back guarantees if not completely satisfied!).
However, the space is limited by the software. Email me if you need instructions on how to join (the same each
week) or if you would like the archives for the prior year (covering topics such as money & position management, scanning, picking the best setups, sectors, longer-term trend following and a
bunch of other stuff).
Best of luck with your trading on Wednesday!
Dave Landry
P.S. Reminder: Protective stops on every trade!
