Short the 20 day Moving Average

With the S&P retracing back to the 20 day moving average, it may be time to take a few shots on the short side. Looking at the chart below, I am comfortable shorting here, with a stop above the 20 day MA:

A few names to watch:

The Buckle, Inc. [[BKE]] look for a close below the 200 day:

bke1

Reliance Steel & Aluminum [[RS]] look for a break in the trendline:

[[KIRK]] looking for a pullback to the 100 day, stop above 50 day:

Synaptics, Incorporated [[SYNA]] nice retrace back to resistance:
