Video Review of the Indexes 1-16-2012
January 16, 2012 at 2:23 pm
Last week provided some early strength, some late weakness, and plenty of lateral price action in between as the indexes finished modestly higher. A long-overdue pullback finally kicked in on Friday, although time will tell whether the dip will prompt more selling or simply provide another opportunity to put cash to work.
The story stocks of the week were generally those which have been quite heavily shorted and/or beaten-down such as NFLX, FSLR (and other solars YGE, TSL, etc.), each of which offered impressive moves higher. Otherwise, we saw some healthy basing action which should help many charts to set up in the days ahead.
In preparation for the holiday-shortened trading week ahead, let’s examine some important levels to keep an eye on for the indexes. That will have the greatest influence on how individual stocks are going to move, so it’s where the trading week’s research begins.

Week 2 Trades Review (Video)
January 13, 2012 at 4:38 pm
The first 5-session trading week of 2012 saw a little bit of everything. We saw another big Tuesday gap to the upside, a fair amount of profit-taking on Friday, and a lot of lateral movement in between. Overall, the indexes finished modestly higher, but the net changes on the surface sure didn’t tell the whole story.
Personally, I took a number of entries as both day trades and swing trades, and it was a really nice week. Both timeframes provided profits, but the day trades did most of the heavy lifting with it being a week where the overall market saw only limited follow through. Then again, that’s exactly why I trade multiple timeframes and share those plays with the membership at TheStockBandit.com.
As I did last week, I wanted to give you a show-and-tell look at the trades I took this week. It should give you a feel for not only how I managed my trades, but also the kinds of setups which have been working well of late. And for those curious about our trading style in the member area, this should give you a good indication of what a typical week looks like. (Note: I do have 2 open swing positions which are not outlined in the video since I’m still discussing my management of them with members).

Week 1 Trades Review (Video)
January 6, 2012 at 5:30 pm
The first week of trading for 2012 is now behind us, and overall it wasn’t very exciting. A big gap up on Tuesday kicked off a positive week, but after that we saw the market essentially make no progress as it spent the remainder of the week moving laterally with mixed and minor net changes.
Personally, I took a number of trades and saw mixed results as well. Some trades worked great, others failed quickly, and some didn’t go hardly anywhere. Nonetheless, it was a good week of trading because of how my trades were managed.
As a trader, I need to be able to diversify by way of different timeframes and direction (long/short) in order to keep maneuvering efficiently. So to help explain this concept and the value of doing it, here’s a video walking through the trades I took last week. (Note: I do have 2 open swing positions which are not outlined in the video since I’m still discussing my management of them with members).

Video Review of the Indexes 12-18-2011
December 18, 2011 at 2:36 pm
The indexes gave up some ground last week, placing them lower within their respective intermediate-term wedges. Bounce attempts on Thursday & Friday saw poor closes, indicating the buyers still are lacking the enthusiasm needed to regain short-term control.
As we head into a brand new week of trading, let’s examine some important levels to keep an eye on in the days ahead. That will have the greatest influence on how individual stocks are going to move, so it’s where the trading week begins.

2 Levels to Watch for GLD
December 12, 2011 at 5:45 pm
GLD is the 2nd-highest capitalized ETF around, only behind SPY. It’s nearly triple the capitalization of QQQ, just to give you some perspective. And with such a fixation on the economy (both domestic & global), it’s no shock that the sometimes safe haven of gold has been in the limelight.
Some suggest GLD has topped, and in the near term, they have technical reasons which back that up (lower highs). But a closer look at the chart reveals a pair of important levels to keep on watch, so that’s what’s covered in this video.

Video Review of the Indexes 12-11-2011
December 11, 2011 at 9:05 pm
Last week proved constructive in that not only did the market gain a little ground, but after seeing an opportunity to pick up speed on the downside the dip-buyers emerged once again.
With intermediate-term higher lows in place, the technical setup is favorable at this point for the bulls, but they’ll have to maintain their edge and make it happen. Should they produce even a modest lift, we’ll be looking at new recovery highs with ease.
As we head into a brand new week of trading, let’s examine some important levels to keep an eye on in the days ahead. That will have the greatest influence on how individual stocks are going to move, so it’s where the trading week begins.

Video Review of the Indexes 12-4-2011
December 4, 2011 at 4:29 pm
The indexes ripped higher last week after a 7-session streak of declines, trapping overly aggressive bears with some huge opening gaps to the upside. And given the size of the advance, an intermediate-term higher low may have been established in the process.
