Current Stock Signals 5-15-2010

Due to my time constraints in the next two weeks I will be posting more sporadically.  Here are the current signals for symbols I follow.

You can also find this at the top on Current Picks Page.. I hadn't updated it in two weeks but as you can see the major signals are from late April so nothing was missed.

My System caught onto the downdraft about a week before the "fat finger" occured and from what I just observed going through these charts is that the "fat finger" was very skinny and precise... nuff said because I need to keep this one a secret. Enjoy

Weekly Picks- Buy:IYR,XLF Sell:DRYS,SRS,SKF,SMN,VXX

This week was mostly a reversal of calls made last week, the only new call is a Sell on DRYS.
When the week moves in a range (market Zig Zagged 30 points up and down) they are called False Signals because my system is a trending one.
Nobody has called me out on my calls but this is the first back to back week that signals have reversed in my blogging days so I thought I'd clear the air :) .

I will be introducing a new Feature this week. A chart to accompany each call. The charts are 3 months and they show all signals that might have occurred during that time-frame.
Red Dots means SELL and Green dots signal BUY.  Simple enough? Great Let's get started.

Here's a look at SPY SPDR S&P 500 ETF Chart

8-20-2009.. another repeat of 7-13-2009 ?

If you have been following my current picks page you might have noticed that most of the symbols received buy signals on 7-13-2009 which is when the March rally was coming to a correction but then bounced. Will we have another case of this with 8-20-2009?
I was hoping we wouldn't that is why I posted those charts yesterday thinking  we had topped. Well my automated strategy was saying otherwise and I completely Ignored it.

Normally I would just update the current picks page but this time around I have decided to make a blog post.

LAST UPDATE: 8-8-2010

This page is intended to provide buy and sell signals given by a strategy.
Those who like my calls can follow or at least consider the alerts; those that think this is all fake can keep opinions to themselves and check the info page.  Amount of time in the market using this system is about 38% on average which means you are not in at all times. It is not a buy and hold strategy nor is it a day trading strategy unless very rarely a buy and a sell signal occur on the same day.

I am only giving the latest signal for each stock mentioned. Use at your own risk and make sure to take the date into consideration.

Stock tips from the Freak strategy

After SKF's latest blunder in which I called the sell-off then couldn't resist the LOW LOW price of $155, I set off to design a strategy that overtime would bring consistent growth.  I am using a 4hour interval for the strategy so it really isn't day-trading but also it's not long term investment (like those exist much anymore).

The idea is to give stock tips when the strategy throws me a Buy signal then to call the selling point when the strategy yells SELL.

Now If i use the S&P 500 or the Russel or any other index (all the stocks within it), I will get a lot of buy and sell signals that will drive me crazy.
I'm wondering if any of you have ideas on which stocks to put on watch list.  I will also need to create a section on this page to show the buy and sell signals with their dates as well as how much gain/loss occurred.

I think i might be going a bit over my head as many people do this for a fee (Timothy Sykes anyone?)  but I will  think this through for the next week or two and then decide what to do.    Your comments are really needed this time especially for ideas on which stocks to put on the alert list.

Till next Time,
-K (The busy man)

SKF down to earth ready to refuel?

On Friday March 6th I made a new blog post calling SKF (UltraShort Financials) Overbought.

Now, 10 days later I want to put my opinion down in writing.  SKF went from over $260 to $126 (so far) that is more than 50% off (around $13.40/day for past 10 days).
When I first posted my opinion i was being generous and looking at $182-$186 for the move down to earth.
There was an important fib retracement at $155 and one at $120.

Being a recent fib retracement follower I have a position in the $150-155 range, toady SKF didn't go as low as $120 or i would have doubled down.
If this is the short term bottom for SKF the  move up seems to hit $213, I am not good with timing the market with dates so i don't want to give misleading info.

to recap.. SKF trying to refuel? Buy at $155 or $120 with a target at $213

I am including a visual as always (Click to enlarge)

skf-1003bb-march162009
Disclosure: As i stated in my post I have a position at $150's range and was looking to double it at $120.

SKF (UltraShort Financials) Overbought?

I hope you saw my post about my February performance. Most of my gains were thanks to shorting the financial sector via SKF.

I have still kept an eye on the ETF after selling it and is now is extremely overbought on many levels. I had a target of $250-255 for it but I did not hold my shares past $200. Now that my target has been reached I am looking for SKF to come back down to earth,  I am looking for at least $182-186 range.

With the market crashing down so fast there is not much incentive to go more short as I am sure SEC has plans for a no shorting rule or at least something to stop the bleeding.  That concludes this post and I will rest my case by providing you the chart which I am basing my case on.

Below I am attaching a chart showing the RSI being overbought but also SKF itself going over the Bollinger bands that I use. 
If you are looking to buy into SKF (besides trading it for quick scalps) then either stay away from it or just take the chart into consideration.    (Click to Enlarge)

As always, I merely post my opinions on here so I am not responsible for anyone's financial decisions.

Have a good day,

SPY Possible Bullish Pattern

While this past week has been tough on many investors, I have made my fair share of profits trading SKF intraday.
You can check out my covestor page  and see my YTD performance to see how much more disciplined I have become in 2009.

Looking at the SPY 1minute charts, there seems to be a possible Bullish Three Drives Pattern developing.
Using Fibonacci retracements I created the chart below.  Basically when SPY hits 73.39 area there is a strong case for a rally to kick-start. I do not know how strong the rally will be but you might not want to short on Monday.

Here is the SPY 1 minute chart (Click to Enlarge)

As Always, Feel free to add anything on this topic or ask any questions you might have.

Wild Market

The only reason I have not posted much in my blog is because I don't want to play with the August wild market and therefore watched Freddie and Fannie get taken over without saying a word.

I am still holding onto SKF and even bought more as the price dropped.

I do see energy stocks making a comeback at least in the short term.
One of the symbols I am watching is UGA (United States Gasoline)  stock fluctuates with the prices of Gasoline in the US.
With Gasoline beginning to rise thanks to hurricane Ike hitting Texas this is beginning to look good.

This is a short post but I should get back to posting more opinions and charts within a few days. Thanks for Reading and please feel free to voice your opinion in the comment box.
