FSLR,-2 AN, -3 GME, 2 JCP, -2 SHLD, -4 SVU, 2 NFLX, -6 AMD, 2 DO, 2 LEN, -4 FII, -1 VMC, -3 URBN, -3 X, 0 AKS, 1 WPO, 3 MWW, 0 RRD, -1 CEPH, 3 NVLS, 2 I would be looking at CEPH and WPO as mild contrarian plays. On quiet down days I would look to sell SHLD, LEN and NFLX, and on huge up days I might be inclined to buy them instead.
