How do you like these?

(AINV: 7.03 -0.28%), 9.88% – Apollo Investment Corp. Diversified investments, interesting.

(JNK: 39.47 -0.53%), 9.28% – SPDR Barclays Capital High Yield B. Still know nothing about bonds.

(PGF: 17.50 -0.68%), 7.06% – PowerShares Fin. Preferred Port. Financials, but preferred, that’s good.

(PVX: 12.08 -0.33%), 8.77% – Provident Energy Trust. Hmmm, natural gas. Then maybe not. Chart looks like a rising wedge, too, yes?

(VGR: 17.95 -0.39%), 9.09% – Vector Group Ltd. Cigarettes! is this evil?

I just noticed Yahoo has a new section called “Market Pulse”. They totally stole it from me! I coined the term at least a year ago :) Ya, ok, theirs is a slightly different concept.

Here are my current picks. It’s purely accidental that 4/6 start with an A :)

Here are the quotes:

(ASX: 4.79 -3.23%), (ATML: 9.78 -1.11%), (AWC: 5.12 -5.54%), (CIM: 2.93 -1.01%), (SDRL: 39.51 +1.13%), (SPIL: 5.51 -2.48%).

Three attempts to get above resistance.

lyg

And today it’s finally above that level. Hopefully will build support here and go on to fill the gap.

  • 13ema is turning up and should cross over 34ema soon.
  • Oscillators and volume look good.

BEE post #1 and BEE post #2

I got out today at $3.90 (yes, seriously, 52-week high to the penny). Modest 40% return since October. Super proud because I have NEVER held anything that long with that kind of positive return :)

bee1

No plans to re-buy it. Got nothing against BEE, just undecided at the moment.

Next stock that I really want to succeed is (LYG: 2.13 -4.05%).

Also, liking (PCC: 7.51 -2.47%), PMC Commercial Trust with 8%+ dividend, but unfortunately it has no options.

In addition to LYG, still watching SPX/SPY.

I now have technical substantiation of my $4 target – inverse head-and-shoulders on the daily chart.
Volume pattern still shows accumulation.

I’m not getting attached to the stock, and really welcome any negative comments on this trade idea.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m seeing a falling wedge on this daily chart. Though it’s bad that the stock didn’t do well during the Magnificent Rally. Shall watchhh….

avd

Yep, qualifies.

(SRS: 31.86 +1.63%)

Positive volume pattern showing accumulation – higher on up days, lower on down days.
MACD and others are cooperating.
srs

TA is useless on Ultra ETFs? Ok, let’s see how IYR is doing.

(IYR: 60.75 -0.83%)

IYR yields almost 9%! That’s for the positive.
Now negative: volume pattern is just the opposite of SRS, showing distribution (higher volume on down days, lower volume on up days).
Closed below 20ma which has been a pretty good support level during this rally. But need to see follow-through on that.
Today’s close qualifies for a Bollinger-Band-crash trade, so IYR *should* bounce tomorrow. Doesn’t have to, but should.

(MAD: 0.00 N/A)
(PBM: 8.40 +1.57%)
(PCU: 0.00 N/A)
(SLT: 10.29 -1.44%)
(TGB: 3.74 +0.81%)
(WIRE: 27.97 -0.96%)

One might think that if one copper stock is breaking out, the other copper stocks should do the same. Doesn’t look like it though.

Strongest according to the lazy charts (ya, these are lazy charts, pardonnez-moi) are:
FCX, with earnings — sorry, losses — only half as bad as GM’s
PBM, cheap cheap, probably the best lottery ticket of all, but I won’t touch it
SLT, looks ok, has potential
TGB, a ‘maybe’
WIRE, nice!

Gildan Activewear 2Q Net, Sales Drop; Activewear Sales Dn 22%

Gildan Activewear Inc.’s (GIL) earnings and gross margin were significantly lower in the second quarter as sales dropped almost 17%.

Sales of $245 million in the fiscal second quarter were down from $294 million a year earlier, hurt by an almost 22% …

As this news was released, the stock went on to gain 28%.

Short interest is about 5% of the float with 2.4 days to cover. So, is it a squeeze?

What do you do here? Short it or go long?
