AMD is good because it's part of regulation SHO the experimental program that you can short on a downtick.

not trading NASD right now - have traded GG for profit but get very frustrated trying to go short and I find it a little choppy - amd chart looks great, thanks! XOM looks pretty good aswell but same problem going short - I seem to read the short plays better and miss out on a lot of downside.
Look at the energy stocks and keep up a chart of crude futures. Also look at other stocks in sector for direction. If trading BP look at XOM, if trading BTU look at other coals like MEE.
