NYX at 72 proves to be a good call

13 07 2007

This is a “toot my own horn” post. I recently made a suggestion to a friend regarding NYX. In the post I said to wait until the price got down to 72. Well NYX held the price and is now at the 83 pivot point for a nice little trade. I don’t have a feel for what it might do now. If it holds just under 83, expect NYX to bust out to higher levels. It should be interesting to watch.
On another note, I love how my TD Combo Sum indicator picked the exact low. See the chart above.





I’m back!

I’m finally done with moving and just got my internet connection up. It looks like I’ve missed some interesting days.

My 3M short was stopped out.

General Motors (GM) put option trade

8 07 2007

I got into the GM bearish trade a little early but it seems to be turning my way now. I purchased the Sept 35 puts at $1.90. My target is a $33 price on the equity. It looks like we might get there sooner than later.

Options do not show up on the Covestor.com service so you’ll just have to trust me.

Nasdaq 100 - TD Sequential Signals

I’ve shown my TD Combo summation indicator (based upon TD Combo) previously. Here is the TD Sequential countdown for the Nasdaq 100 weekly and daily chart. Both are on sell signals.





Broadening Top Pattern in the Nasdaq 100

3 07 2007

The weekly broadening top pattern in the NDX is still intact. The daily has morphed into a rising wedge formation, also a bearish formation.

It might be a good place to pick up some QID shares with a very tight stop.





Sticking my neck out with Covestor.com

3 07 2007

Well I took the plunge. I signed up with Covestor.com so you can now track my trades. The idea is to link with my broker so Covestor.com can credibly display my results. Unfortunately, Covestor does not have an agreement with Tradeking so I’ll have to send them my broker statements manually.

I have already sent them my first one. Click on the Covestor link to the right to see my holdings. Here is what I own and the cost basis associated with them.

Long:

  • Great Basis Gold Ltd (GBN) — $2.22
  • Mitcham Idustries Inc (MIND) — $14.36 (1/4 of a position at 0 cost basis)
  • Metalink Limited (MTLK) — $6.25
  • US Gold Corp (UXG) — $4.23

Short:

  • 3M Company (MMM) — $86.13

Strange Market Breadth Action

1 07 2007

The percentage of stocks below their 200 day moving average is moving up, but the overall stock market seems to be holding up fine. Is this an indication of a sick market? Maybe. What is strange is that the last few corrections have been accompanied by spikes up in these indicators, not the slow increase that we are seeing right now.
