Mar 29 2010

Very narrow day with few tradeable moves. Couple small stops and nice size win on LOCM on "official" calls side, a few nice discretionary trades, with CHK being the best, and then as icing on a cake two momo movers - FONR and SERV. Junk knows how to fly.

[10:28] {strider} yep. trying to get to .25
[10:28] {Threei} pullback is too deep to consider uptrend intact
[10:29] {Threei} even .25 is probably a stretch
[10:29] {Threei} market spike may help
[10:29] {ese} real narrow range on this cbg vad.......although the T&S is going strong like it was
[10:29] {Les} u got a read on fitb vad?

[10:34] {Threei} daily's nice
[10:34] {Threei} market cooperation is very questionable
[10:37] {strider} still waiting on LOCM?
[10:37] {Threei} yes
[10:37] {Threei} combination of .50 resistance on daily and huge offer
[10:38] {Threei} but it's a typical momo candidate, not your usual stock
[10:38] {fernp} what is the stop for LOCM, Vad?
[10:38] {dino} pwrd sm l .00

[10:44] {ese} hey vad...missed it was watching cbg
[10:47] {Threei} something is off about today
[10:47] {Threei} market can't decide which way
[10:48] {Threei} my strong feeling is up
[10:48] {Threei} but it does everything possible to shake out every trade
[10:48] {Threei} TIE, with .05 break can trail stop to under .95
[10:49] {Threei} if SPY breaks 117.3 direction should become clearer
[10:49] {jfjf64} btu
[10:49] {jfjf64} .50 break
[10:50] {Threei} scalpers trail stop to under .95
[10:50] {Threei} day traders to under .90
[10:50] {ese} how bout mrna on this pback vad?
[10:51] {strider} CHK 1/2 out +.09\
[10:51] {Threei} depending on market action, ese.. if continues hesitating, wait for a drop to under .35, closer to .30 or even under
