The last few years have been great to me, as i was able to clobber the S&P500 many times in returns. But of course, you can't make a living trading the markets if you don't make great great returns. I'll try to give my readers trades that i think will make them money. However, you need to have money management skills, in order not to lose everything on a greedy or stupid trade. I may or may not already be in the trades i recommend. I may or may not trade the stocks i recommend.

You guys need to have already started nibbling into stocks.

The selloff last week came with so much fear and volume that it may have been the ultimate bottom. There might be some more bad news in the next few weeks regarding subprime and bank and hedgefund failures but the fed is letting us know that they are taking a very proactive stance against the credit crunch. You just can't go against the fed and go all out shorting the market. Many very smart traders have had their bungholes widened fighting the fed throughout the decades.

oh my god, where were you the whole week? We are nearing retest of the high. Let's see if we take it out next week. Buy on a pullback or buy at a break above 14,000 on the Dow.

Some stocks near 52 week highs you might want to look into:

PCLN
RIMM
CTRP
VMW
EMC


*GOOG - while not at highs is too cheap to ignore.

Beanie,
I did well trading on volatility on AAPL and SPWR. I bought and sold AAPL
112-117, 119-126, 121-128. My last buy on 60 shrs of spwr was at 61.98 and will hold it long term.
So you really think buyers are coming back to the market. I really hope you're right because I never short a stock, nor do options.
I did miss entry on VMC and I think I might have miss the boat now, it's beginning to be too high to get in.

markets retest of highs next week or even 2 weeks? no way

markets are due for two consecutive down days at least

AA aint going to its inflated value of 45 and GS back to 225

there are so many wounded stocks that these indicies have very limited upside right now at current values

no way Tech at or near 52 week highs gonna make up for all that.

market action Froday was very similar to before July 4th when all the sellers were on vacation and shorts got smoked. rebound in oil didnt help either.

i did well on Friday except got smoked with my BCSI short...gonna be patient and hopefully it drops 5% next week

Beanie,
Could you please comment in a little bit more detail on the prospects of Solar stocks, especially ENER, JASO and TSL. After all we have heard so much from you about this sector and I am NOT saying this in any negative way - just wish to know your latest view on the situation. Thanks.

I’m abandoning my IWM, short sell at $80 = 200 day , this week, because ahead of labor day holidays, historically, the market does fairly well, so i think IWM has a chance to get to 81 or even 82 =( gap down test)....
ENER reports aug 29
NYX , 200day= 88...at least makes it to 80....
BUY UNG SEPT 32 CALLS AT 35.6 AND SELL 37.2..Then buy them again and HOLD HOLD HOLD....african hurricane coming before options expire...(it's really wet in africa, right now)
ZEE
on another note, (further out than this week, )...gosu's buy sept 30th, comment, is now 70/30 in my estimation...FED will probably mess up SEPT 18 meeting...so VIX at 17 possible, next week or so, then a return to the mid 30's likely...

'This blog is a joke. I'm outta here!'
===================================
SOLAR ENERY STOCKS
I did put in a request to Beanie to enlighten us in detail what he thinks about solar stocks esp. ENER, JASO and TSL. Many like me must have bought these stocks and still hold them. Beanie, would appreciate your feedback.

Solar sector is best in the future because the oil peaked for several years now. The wholw world is working on alternative energy to overcome the future oil shortage. The solars are most fast growing sector because the governmemt of every country in the world supports solar. you have to be patient and hold tigh the positions you have. Chinese solars have more advantages than american because much lower cost of labers.

CMS,
Here's my take on Solar Stocks, I only have SPWR I bought at 61.98. Most are overpriced. SPWR have trailing PE of 281 but next year's PE is around mid 30s. So if you want to buy some, buy on every dip, average out by buying and holding, sell when it's overpriced or if fundamentals are declining like what happened to CSUN. Good luck.

CMS,

Best value solar stock is YGE not SPWR. YGE has $84.04 mean & $153 high 1 year target pric. SPWR only has $74. You can check online, recently institutional position increased from 6% tp 23%. Deuch bank alone added YGE positions of 7% of YGE shareholds.

Just a brief update.....

INDU has carved out a nifty 4 waves on this move off the high.

We could be putting in a wave 4 top on this move with yet a lower low to come down near the 12,000 mark.

Watch this.

13371
13402
13482
13550

We could top at any of these 4 critical technicals and still be a wave 4 top. IF WE FAIL to take out 13695 get the hell out of your longs!

Anon,
You're right YGE is a better value. I did not recommend CMS to buy SPWR- I just said it's the only solar stock I have- because I feel safer holding it really long term than any Chinese Solar stocks.

Anonymous Anonymous said...

West - I appreciate the technicals - a lot of time put into it. one question on the China front: what is the weekly technical you are looking for to indicate a downward turn?

I missed Friday's gains sitting on the sidelines. I'm in the camp with you and Gosu that says we have one more leg down to go.

listen folks
dont get too bullish

on a daily basis, markets react to economic data

nearly all of august data reported in next 4 weeks will be bearish

Anonymous Anonymous said...

sgv,

Why you feel safer in SPWR than Chinese solars? You should feel safer in chinese solars considering their growth rate and chinese GDP growth rate and Chinese government's support. When American economy slowed down since this year and years ahead you should be in Chinese stocks. Only Chinese market is big enough for them to make money plus they all have good reputations in Europe. YGE build gernamy olympic statium solar system. That's why they gain more and more market shares in Europe. And EM secret strategy is to build as much as alternative enerys to overcome oil shortage in the near future.

these asian markets are so overbought

HANG SENG is up like 20% from the intraday from its low less than 2 weeks ago

its the equivalent of being near DOW 13850 now

dont expect US markets to follow with this extreme overbought condition

If you are still interested in that NYX request.

My fibs start at the 6/14/06 lows and reach to the 11/22/06 highs, and using those parameters NYX is currently sitting right on it's 61.8% retracement line. If it busts below 73.10 (about where the line is on my drawing), it could be in for considerably more trouble. Next stop looks like about $68.00.
