I studied some interesting charts that came from the systems I trade. The stock market is undecided and may move sideways until next week when the debt ceiling debacle will be resolved. SLH: Solera is in a consolidation that is near completion. Triangles can break up or down very violently. Solera Holdings, Inc. is a [...] -
Interesting Stocks for 7/25/2011 – Plenty of Opportunities
In preparation for the upcoming Apocalypse (aka debt ceiling fight), the stock market hacker rightfully selects the following stocks for your perusal and amusement. BJRI: Playing the bounce near support (white horizontal line). Risky, but a sniper trade that is not expected for the long-term trader. BJ’s Restaurants, Inc. (BJ’s) owns and operates 103 restaurants [...] -
Interesting Stock for 12/30/2010 – Gaudi Edition
We have to buy a stock for one of our four paper trading accounts (we continuously practice and experiment our craft). In this edition we feature Mosaic Corporation. Its entry point is 74.25 using the Darvas system (breakout). I do not think we can get in but we will try. It is clearly breaking out [...] -
Interesting Stocks for 12/27/2010 – Some ETF Love with a Twist from the Pacific
Today we have three etfs for your amusement and edification. The stock market has been really thin on volume. We expect that as managers go on vacation and leave their evil minions (underlings) to play with their egos, algos and their little computers. However, price over volume and price action has been good. We take [...] -
Interesting Stocks for 12/22/2010 – Bringing the Holiday Cheer with Cool Stock Profits
In this edition we feature four stocks that we are trying to enter positions with real money today. We are cautiously long but ready to switch to a bearish stance as conditions change.

Interesting Stocks for 12/14/2010 – Free at Last
We recently finished our first 15 credits of the MBA program and as Thomas the Train would say: Bust my Boilers, we feel crossed. Anyway, we got stopped out of a position in TLEO today with a 2% gain and decided to enter two new trades: one for our real account and two for our [...] -

Interesting Stocks for 10/8/2010 – A Hint of a Correction
We see some churning in some stocks that we are studying. For example, AmBev (ABV) seems to be stuck around 130 and cannot seem to penetrate it (disclosure: we own ABV in our paper and real money accounts +20% gain). Other stocks are stalling or correcting. We are still long the market and we will [...] -
Interesting Stocks for 10/6/2010 – Reloaded Edition
We have been fully invested until two days ago when we got stopped out of some fake positions. We are long this market and we hope that October 2010 bucks the bearish trends of the past. We do not pay too much attention to market cycles since we let the market speak to us. We probably get some decent entry prices today as the ADP report showed suprise job losses in the private sector. We can play a commodity theme in the market as we got a strong buy signal on the CRX - commodity index. -
