It was one of the hardest one-week stretches in the market for the bulls, but nonetheless, the market managed not to implode despite all the neanderthals in D.C. doing their best to accomplish otherwise. With that said, the SharePlanner Reversal Indicator took a bit of a dive this past week, reversing just before it hit the ceiling above (the more reliable area for reversals to occur). So I would be suspect of the downward turn we are seeing below, especially until the debt ceiling crisis is resolved. [more]

Here's a list of stocks, that should the U.S. get downgraded, or the market just continues to slide downward due to the lack of a compromise between the two parties, should take it hard on the chin. Each of these stocks are just breaking below critical support levels, from head and shoudlers patterns, to major support and trend-line breaks. [more]

While Congress is consumed with bickering on how to make our country even worse off, by increasing the debt ceiling, we're more interested in determining how to increase our 'profit-ceiling'. Maybe the Fed should consider a paradigm shift. [more]

Below is a list of small-cap stocks that have been heavily shorted by the street, and should the market continue to rally like we saw today, these stocks could see their share price launch into the stratosphere because of the bears being forced to cover their short positions in the stock. Based on the number of shares that are being borrowed, for some of these stocks, it could take as many as 50-70 days to cover all the shares held short in the individual stock.
If you don't know what a short squeeze is, that is where a stock starts to rise rapidly, and as the trend continues to escalate, the short sellers will likely want out. For example, say a stock rises 5% in one day, those with short positions may be forced to liquidate and cover their position by purchasing the stock. If enough short sellers buy back the stock, the price is pushed even higher. [more]

Market is approaching a strong resistance on the S&P. while I still stay bullish on the market, a bounce off this resistance is not out of the question. Stay at least 50% cash and quick profits are still the way to go. Here are a couple of set ups for next week. [more]

Unlike any of my other screens, this stock screen focuses on stocks trading under $10/share, and have a market cap of around $1 billion or less. As for the variables that I used in the screen, I focused on fundamentals, particularly companies that have a healthy balance sheet with little debt to speak of, with a strong prospect for rapid sales and growth in earnings, as well.
Now be aware, that these kinds of stocks carry huge risks to them. A simple downgrade, news event, or missed earnings target, can derail these small-cap stocks in a heart beat. But if you have some capital that you want to roll the dice with, these stocks will give you a good start in your research. [more]

Quiet day in the market so far, and its not tanking (...yet) and is managing to hold on to yesterday's gains (biggest day of the year for the Dow). I've made a number of trades, today, and overall I'm doing fine on the heals of the breakout we got in Hansen Medical (HNSN) today. By the way, for all my trades real-time and their entries, follow me on Twitter. [more]

This is a stock screen similar to "Stocks That Are Breaking Down" (but just the exact opposite). A lot of these stocks are positioned for breakouts in the near future. If you are a momentum trader, you have to take a look at the charts of each of these stocks listed below. Each of the stocks below were hand-picked from a list of screen returns of more than 100 stocks/ETF's. These are the ones that I would consider the best of the best from those returns. [more]

Good move so far in the market today. Bulls trying to re-claim the 10-day moving average, and if it can retake that support level, we could see additional follow-through from the market for the rest of this week. [more]

After the huge ramp up we saw in to Friday's close, it looked like we were setting up nicely for a potential rally this week, but if Monday is any indication of what lies for the week ahead, then it could be a royal disaster for the bulls out there. However, that doesn't mean that there aren't opportunities to the long side to be had. In fact, I have six of them below, that if they can hit their desired entry price, should make for a nice trade.

By far one of my best screens in determining who is buying what on the street! What you will find are those stocks that, among other variables that I use, 1) Gaining an increased amount of coverage by brokerage firms and analysts, and 2) Being upgraded on a regular basis. This is a good screen to show you where the smart money is putting their capital to work at, without you having to actually ask them. [more]

Here are five plays that you need to be playing close attention to this morning. The one stock that I've already gotten into this morning was GLUU, but with the volatility associated with this play, It wouldn't surprise me if there was a few more opportunities to get in it. The remaining four stocks have yet to be triggered, and the setups are awesome. [more]

For those who are curious, the reversal indicator perfectly time last week's market bounce and since then it has been on one incredible tear, with it already halfway back to the other side of the reversal reading. I certainly don't think we'll see the same kind of price move that we saw last week, but ultimatley I think we'll continue to move higher, and possibly even challenge new recovery highs. The only thing that does look problematic to me is the head and shoulders pattern forming recently on the S&P daily chart, which I plan on keeping a close eye on. [more]

Market showed off a very powerful week at the end of June with 5 straight winning days but would that mean the end of this bear market? Some may say so considering all those 5 days market closed at the top of its candles. Interestingly though, I found some surprising similarities between this market and the summer 2010 when market also in a major sell-off. History doesn't repeat but will it rhyme? [more]
