On Tuesday, the Nasdaq bounced around in early morning trading,
rallied early in the afternoon but then found its high and sold off hard. This
action has it stalling just short of multi-year highs and it has it closing
poorly. Â
The S&P put in a somewhat similar performance. Â
Â
So what do we do? In my last column I wrote: “Notice above that the indices sold off hard after
approaching multi-year highs. This action forms a bearish outside
day down. This suggests that we could be in for more selling.
Longer-term, the big blue arrows continue to point sideways.” Looks
like its deja vu all over again.Â
No setups tonight. On a continued slide we could start seeing transitional
setups on the short side.Â
Wednesday’s With Dave
It’s that time again. On Wednesday 3/29/06 at 11:00 AM EST, I will be hosting my weekly interactive lesson.
I plan on covering current conditions, a simple scan to catch hot stocks,
setting stops based on the volatility and price of stocks, and I also have some good examples of trend
following, applying discretion, and money/position management. Once that’s done,
I’ll will then 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 plethora of other stuff).Â
Best of luck with your trading on Wednesday!Â
