Pre-market Day Trading notes for 2/3/09

First off, if you haven’t already done so, check out WoodShedder’s post “Isa’s Hats”

Notes…

–  3 red days in a row for SPX and DJI.  NDX broke the cycle.

–  IBD has “rally under pressure” alert (2/2 issue), after releasing a silly “follow-through day” last Wednesday.  Despite the intense bearish news permeating in the bank sector, I think the market can retest the FTD range.

–  VIX looks weak, however it is a tough read.  Volume was very light 2/2/09 versus Friday.  I think Friday was a distribution day.

– Earnings Lightning Round:   Company’s reporting 2/3/09 that matter

  • Avon (AVP) – yuck.  2 points from 52-low, retail is bad longterm, but tricky here.
  • CME Group (CME) – oh boy, the big one is reporting.  Keep an eye on ICE, NDAQ, AMTD
  • Corinthian College (COCO) – marshmellows anyone?  Watch the school stocks in this order:  DV, LOPE, ESI, CECO
  • Electronic Arts (ERTS) – sitting right at 52-low.  Expecting a big move here.
  • Genomic Health (GHDX) – hot stock in a hot sector.  They best be guiding higher, or else.
  • Integral Systems (ISYS) – will play if it rallies.
  • TravelZoo (TZOO) – this stupid 57M marketcap stock can squeeze fast.
  • RTI Metals (RTI) – a relatively cheap stock.  Will play if rallies.

And day trading plays at StockTwitts…

And my “Jack-your-chart” chart of the day goes to zMoose12 for his great analysis on the “devil’s child”… SRS.

aLoHa,

    Gio,

    So DRYS got loan restructure for 1/3 of its outstanding loan. Stock has been losing steam since open, you think I should cover or wait it out?
