To The Tune of Up, Up and Away by Jimmy L. Webb

Gap, Gap and Away,

With An Awesome Volume Surge

SPY A Nicer Place

In A Beautiful Balloon

For It Can Fly..Fllllllyyyyyy

Gap, Gap and Away!

S&P 500 (SPY) New high everything with an accumulation day in volume-are we concerned about a blow off rally mentioned 2 weeks ago? Darn right we are. Subscribers: Pivots pivots in all

Russell 2000 (IWM) The blow off rally potential is more evident here after new highs and double the average daily volume. Watch for it.

Dow (DIA) Then there is the Dow, still has miles to catch up or not

Nasdaq (QQQ) New high close but not new highs

XLF (Financials) The theory of buy the weaker sister when the market reverses was evident here today. Back to an unconfirmed bullish phase

SMH (Semiconductors) New highs

IYT (Transportation) Still has a gap to fill to 134.58

IBB (Biotechnology) Did better but no wow factor

XRT (Retail) Opportunity knocked here as well. Now, 2014 high is 88.26

IYR (Real Estate) Knew this wasn’t done yet

XHB (Homebuilders) Impressive if 34.27 clears

GLD Gapped lower leaving a potential island top

USO (US Oil Fund) Like GLD, a potential island top

OIH (Oil Services) Has to clear 49.00

XLE (Energy) Has to clear 88.48 once and for all

XOP (Oil and Gas Exploration) Moved off the hammer candle close well and now has to clear 71.27

TBT (Ultrashort Lehman 20+ Year Treasuries) Rule # something or other-never short an oversold instrument.

UUP (Dollar Bull) Confirmed brick wal bottom

EEM (Emerging Markets) Subscribers: Now gapped up but not over the 50 DMA

FXI (China Large Cap Fund) Seems that emerging markets not as convinced about the US rally

CORN (Corn) Subscribers: Took a profit on our add. Now, let it ride some more

BAL (Cotton) Subscribers: Followed through on the breakout over 54.75

JO (Coffee) Subscribers: We look pretty good taking some off at 39.49

SGG (Sugar) Subscribers: Flag forming near the 200 DMA

Longs: On categories: Gap higher days we go to all categories and choose ones with lowest risk that break the opening range. On weaker days, we look at Category 3, especially if the picks hold S1, previous day lows or a major moving average and have a good risk on the reversal. The difference between Category 1 and 2 is the stock condition-a Condition 1 is strongest stock and more likely to make a parabolic move.
Note: Anything that is on this list is a candidate for a swing trade-(of course market condition is a factor) -use the max risk mentioned along with an opening range stop using fudge factor and time confirms. I suggest you decide on 1 or 2 that have a risk you like and then position size accordingly

Category 1: (Aloha)N/A

Category 2: (Pipeline)N/A

Category 3: (Double Up) Positive Phase, Condition 1 through 4, Positive Pivots which means can either buy a opening range breakout or candidate for Opening Range Reversal, with Risk S1 or previous day low, whichever is lower unless noted differently, Target- Day to at least 3 ATRs from entry: (Opening range reversals are good on anything above S1)

CNQ Inside day.36.30 is good tight risk with a move over 37.20 good-still in play

FB Over today’s high clears the 10 DMA. Then the risk will be 69.00 if clears.

AA Like if holds today’s low and takes out todays high

FSLR If holds today’s low, looks poised to take out 58.85 and keep going

WLP If holds 90.00 could see more upside especially if clears 92.00

NBL Inside day and has to hold today’s low and clear 69.70

Category 4: (Rip Tide) N/A

Phase Change:
XOM
Back on list since remaining above 50 DMA-new trade is a hold of 96.27 clearing 97.00
CYH 42.68 is the 200 DMA to clear with risk then at the low of the day if clears it
ROST
72.14 the place to hold now with a chart still of interest
AXL 19.86 now support to hold with gap to 20.37 to fill
JCP ORR entry today with swing risk. If really good should hold today’s gap and stay above 8.00
SODA has to clear 40.01 and should be good to go

Shorts:

Category 5: Titanic-Bear Phase, Negative pivots, not oversold, Risk R1 or previous day high. Target: Day to swing

CELG Has to break S1.

Category 6: White Cap-Having a 2-3 Day correction over the pivots.. In a Negative Phase, Positive Pivots. Can sell an Opening Range High Failure if happens below R1 or previous day high whatever is higher and/or weakness if breaks S1 and prior day’s lows

BBBY Max risk 69.27 and has to break S1

Bye For Now!
