WATCH OUT FOR THE BEAR CLAUS

A hot topic here recently has been the growth names and how to handle said stocks trading significantly off their 2014 highs going into next year. We even had a friendly wager going on in the chat on how these stocks would perform into year end, specifically by last Friday.

While the daily charts are still an acquired taste, take into consideration the weekly chart set-ups that I blogged about not long ago.

FB is a good indicator for this idea, which hit 52 week highs today. So long as FB is leading the way, I’d take it upon yourself to nibble into weakness on a handful of names. If I’m right about this, you’ll be quickly rewarded for your efforts.

This should set the stage for a “fat pitch” as we call it. If the dips remain shallow, the rallies will be fast.

    I’d like to see the risk stocks strengthen first. This one is a little further down the chain of quality.

    Some of these solar stocks are ever so close. Love the FSLR and SPWR wedge, SUNE is hanging around near its volume pocket, and SCTY is getting quiet. Thoughts on what pops first?

    OA – I had a crazy morning at work, and didn’t even stand a chance of catching VSAR. It would make my day if you did. At the very least, it’s fun to see the volume pocket principle in action…

      We’ll find one that we can get in on before the big run. Hope you start feeling better. Ive been on my anti-ebola regiment since late September, and so far have avoided the winter infections… (fingers crossed)

    Bear Clause ? That’s why I got in FB at less risk, not at the level you recommended. My was Long Jan 77.5 Calls. Got in at 2.04 and out today at 4.93. Yes FB should go up more. But the downward risk there.
