  1. Thanks.. I have revised my list of stocks a bit so there always something that is in sync with the overall markets, hence the GM and UYG..

    SWKS seems to have 8 written all over it.. How are you handling it?

  2. 8 seems like a strong possibility although I try not to target.

    The tight congestion enables me to put on some size, I have alot of option positions on at the moment so I am going to short the stock.

    As far as my exit goes, I am going to watch the hourly chart for a reversal or if it hits the 8.15 area I'm out.

  10. I've only lost on autos (ford/honda), but saw your post. It seemed rational.

    Target TGT also looked a little appealing today looking at their MACD turn and volume increase.

    Exelon EXC is a little interesting. Compare it to USO 2 year. A bit of a over reaction. Wouldn't say buy nor short, but it has potential for an up swing whether or not oil turns. Energy is just taking a beating.
