DPS & HOG triggered, JLL, CNW, ALB added

Open Position Notes:

DPS triggered a buy today as it cleared the trend line at $38.10, and although it backed slightly off its highs of the day it still finished positive.  Price is now flirting with prior highs from 3 weeks ago, and I expect this one to move somewhat steadily, so today’s start isn’t bad.  I’d like to see follow through and some improvement in volume, but otherwise I still like this trade.

HOG triggered a short entry today as it broke down from its rising wedge pattern on a slight pick up in volume.  This one showed some nice relative weakness to the overall market today, which is encouraging, so I’m going to stay with my existing trade parameters for now.

Closed Positions:

No closed positions.

BIG stopped

Open Position Notes:

No open positions (100% cash).

Closed Positions:

BIG hit Target 1 yesterday and bounced, and with the market looking poised for a possible rebound, I tightened my stop aggressively last night for remaining shares.  Today that stop was hit as the stock rallied this morning along with the market, taking me out for a solid net gain on the trade of 3.5% in just a couple days.  Staying nimble is key in the current environment, as the moves have been very reversal-prone.  So I’m out for now and will await new patterns before looking for another entry.
