Surf Report… week after +4% Nasdaq

This list is my notes for trading this week.  They are for both day-trades and short term swing trades:

  • Looking for a bounce in China, perhaps open deep in the red, then a gap up. (contrarian play)  Try, Yingli Green Energy Hold. Co. Ltd. (ADR) [[yge]] , Focus Media Holding Limited (ADR) [[fmcn]] , New Oriental Education & Tech. Group Inc [[edu]] , Aluminum Corp. of China Limited (ADR) [[ach]] , The9 Limited (ADR) [[ncty]] , NetEase.com, Inc. (ADR) [[ntes]] , Sohu.com Inc. [[sohu]] , SINA Corporation (USA) [[sina]] , Mindray Medical International Limited [[mr]] , China Medical Technologies, Inc. (ADR) [[cmed]] , .
  • Gap up for Ag stocks.  I think on TV, there is some mentioning of shorting Ag stocks.  I hope to get long some Ag/Chem plays for a few days if POT can stay above 170.  Try Intrepid Potash, Inc. [[ipi]] , Sociedad Quimica y Minera (ADR) [[sqm]] , Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P. [[tnh]] , Titan Machinery Inc. [[titn]]
  • Golden bounce for Solomon’s Portfolio… Goldcorp Inc. (USA) [[GG]] , Yamana Gold Inc. (USA) [[AUY]] , [[GLD]] , but not Eldorado Gold Corporation (USA) [[ego]]
  • Short VISN under 20, get long over 21 … follow the trend
  • Bouncing off 52-lows:  Get long Hansen Natural Corporation [[hans]] , or China Southern Airlines Limited (ADR) [[znh]] if the bear-rally continues.
  • Watch the shippers (EXM, DRYS, TBSI, DSX) and the solars (FSLR, CSIQ, JASO, YGE, SPWR, STP) … both had very interesting activity last week.   Solars in particular have a few more earnings to report this week with JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd. (ADR) [[jaso]] and Canadian Solar Inc. [[csiq]] .
  • Short airlines on a rebound in oil/energy.  Looking for 8 footers here.

And if you haven’t already done so, plan tonight to read Part 1 of How to Position and Size Your Trades in my earlier post.  I will post part 2 later on tonight.

    With regard to the Ags, you may want to check out the weekly on MOS (the monster of the space, along w. POT and MON) I posted over on the KoPG. Looks like a break of the 34 week for the first time in over two years.

    POT’s 38% fib (two year cast) is just over $164.50. It will need to hold that today, or next stop $142 or so.

    Get long HK, PCX, or POT when… USO over 91.71 + AMZN under 90 = intraday reversal.

    CLF, HK, down huge. TGT is on a bounce that won’t last. WFMI was oversold, expect it to go to 10.

    HK just offered another 25M shares, I wouldn’t be too quick to ride that pony.

    Get long TMS or be wrong.

    Locutus… how about long HK short JRJC? That’s what I’m thinking. I like high volume sell offs in HK. I just need that correlation trigger to hit.

    Gio, Do what you want, but I wouldn’t go long HK for all the tea in China here. Long side I might prefer RDSA. Speaking of China, I saw a financial that had a P/E of 111 about an hour ago, but I can’t remember what it was. Five letter symbol, damn my CRS. I’m just pulling stuff out of myass, don’t let me affect what you do…

    If you remember I was bashing HK over the weekend. They were like the bigs, only worse, increasing profit against a backdrop of decreasing production.

    Rimm is flat because it was up 15 points in 2 day, just taking a breather in my opinion.

    I love it here. (fill the gap special)

    Locutus.. you win. I don’t see any buying interest in energy. But we’ll see what happen in the final hour of trading. Looks like all the money flowing into tech. Naz was up 4% for the week last week!!! o_0

    I was thinking about the Qs when we were talking about network conglomerates, it looks like DTV, DISH, GOOG, MSFT, YHOO, INTC, CSCO, DELL, DIS, CMCSA, TWX, may pick up some tailwinds as well.

    The materials play seems to be dying on the vine. NUE, X, etc..

    I think HK may settle here for awhile. Go JRJC! Right into the toilet.

    USO won’t rebound with oil down two bucks. Materials suck, way overbought.

    Ironically, the best way to short the construction bank of china might be to short BAC. You need asbestos underwear though. Are they still on the “no short” list? Did I hear it expired or something?

    Attention United passengers, we will be cruising at 50,000 feet soon. LOL!

    “no shares to short UAUA” … lol.

    No kidding, they loaned ’em all out already! Way to bank coin on a fundamentally effed up corpse!
