Channel intact. Looking for break in either direction.

Amazon AMZN

2012-11-27T20:32:00.000-05:00

Amazon's 237 resistance was broken last Friday. Today AMZN post a doji, signaling indecision. Look to the prior resistance are to turn support around 234-237. Target 250 for next resistance,

Another good short entry point S&P 500

2012-11-27T15:49:00.001-05:00

Looks like the past support is turning into resistance around the 141.00 level of the SPY SPDR. Price is being rejected by the 50 EMA as well at 141. Short, target 135.

Flagstar Bancorp Inc. FBC

2012-11-26T20:03:00.002-05:00

Flagstar has been on a tear since it's reverse split. They finally turned a profit 2nd quarter of 2012, and reported profit again in 3Q. Looking exhausted on weekly, could fall back to EMA's around 12.50, opening up a good entry point. Over 20 continued upside. Very bullish

Over 17 continued upside on daily.

Aegion Corp AEGN

2012-11-26T19:46:00.000-05:00

Aegion has had a great run since October 2011. Recently price respected the weekly trend line around 17.90.

Looking at over 20 for a further upside push. Target 22.

Ford Motor Company F

2012-11-26T18:01:00.002-05:00

Ford found nice support on the retest of the $10.60 breakout late October. Long and strong

Good entry position over 11.15 on hourly.

Long term Head and Shoulders breakout and retest of neckline on weekly. Target $13

Financial SPDR XLF

2012-11-26T17:49:00.001-05:00

Really in conflict over XLF. Broken 15.75 support seemed to turn into resistance last week. 20 EMA still over 50 EMA for a bullish bias. I'd like to seem over $16 for longs and under $15.50 for a short gap fill. Negative divergence on weekly.

First Solar, Inc. FSLR

2012-11-26T17:27:00.001-05:00

FSLR holding strong today, closing up 3% at $25.53. Seems poised for a breakout over $26. Target $30. Could buy stock straight up or purchase $27 December calls, currently trading for $.73.

Arch Coal Inc. ACI

2012-11-26T15:40:00.001-05:00

Looking to re-short ACI on a break of 6.30. Target of 5.75. Also bearish on the S&P 500 as the 1400 support area turns resistance.

SPY, Support turned resistance?

2012-11-23T14:41:00.000-05:00

Will this broken support turn resistance? Or will we test the highs again? Let me know your thoughts.

2012-11-19T17:58:00.000-05:00

Bottom calling in Vishay Intertechnology shares around $9.00. Over 9.35 for aggressive long.

Home Depot HD

2012-11-19T17:45:00.002-05:00

HD has been on a bullish tear the past year, breaking out over 37.5 in December 2011. Looking for break of 63.50 for continuation. Might take an aggressive short under 59-60.

ACI Arch Coal Inc. Short

2012-11-15T15:41:00.000-05:00

Almost went long ACI before the election but didn't want to risk it, good thing. False breakout above 8.50. Went short after Obama win, and gap down. In at 7.61 short. More pain to come, targets 6.25, 5.75, and 5.25. Expecting oversold bounce here in the future, presenting another short potential. Recent channel break.
