Too Crowded

Almost every screen I’m running is returning a ridiculous amount of stocks.  This makes me a little uncomfortable here.  The imbalance on the bull side is staggering.  For all you technical traders, we are watching 9789 on the Dow.   That’s where I’d expect the next bullish run.  More importantly, I’m watching 9487.  If the dumb-people index is true, that’s where the market gets hit.  Interesting range, interesting game.  Traditional swing traders would take profits on a tape like this.

I changed the “emerging strength” screen, and now it’s looking like a “buy on the dip” screen.  So maybe something more like a, “recovering strength” screen.   0_O 

According the the results, these are all “buys” today:
Tenneco Inc. [[TEN]] The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. [[MHP]] Manulife Financial Corporation (USA) [[MFC]] Navistar International Corporation [[NAV]] The New York Times Company [[NYT]] Nokia Corporation (ADR) [[NOK]] The Phoenix Companies, Inc. [[PNX]] [[AGCO]] RSC Holdings Inc. [[RRR]] The Talbots, Inc. [[TLB]]

… let’s see how they do if we use a -10% or -15% change in hybrid PPT score as our sell trigger.  I still feel like the past two days will skew our data a little, so give me some time to figure this out.

And finally, Fantasy Football hates me.  I lost by one point this week.  ONE POINT!  That makes me 0-4.  Haha.  A player’s stats on one game does not have any effect on their next game (unless he is Drew Brees).  It’s all about match ups.  I’m slowly getting this.

    Brees disappoints 2 weeks in a row. I think I will start my backup this Sunday.

    I too took the plunge at the urging of some friends this year, and only inked my first win this week after realizing exactly that — “it’s all about the matchups.”

    Of course I originally knew nothing of the waiver wire and all that stuff, but (again, this past weekend) took advantage of the fact that I’m playing against six or seven other (mostly) noobs to grab Steve Smith last week and start Eli Manning (whom I’d drafted out of sheer cluelessness about everyone else). That, and switching from the Tennessee to the Niners defense is what made the huge difference and I was the point leader this week as a result.

    And, oh yeah, I’m having a pretty good week in the market thus far as well… 😉

    As a fantasy sports veteran…let me assure you, Jake…no one cares about your fricken fantasy team.

    Your assurances have proven very valuable in past examples, Tim.
