It looks like my Q puts and shorts are going to go through some pain at 9:30, however, I won’t fret as it will likely be the ole pop and drop type opening. Why you ask?

Consumer Confidence and Existing Home Sales will be the double whammy release at 10 am.

Look for me to add to my puts tomorrow if I can remember and wake up on time.

Some stocks hitting my screens for this week:

ARTG – They report tomorrow morning. The pattern looks good.

GSS, NXG, BWLRF – I want to revisit these stocks if they pull back a bit more.

CXTI – Breaking out today. Chinese stock. Looks like it can run.

JST – Chinese stock.

WFMI – oversold technical play.

ODP – I almost went into this one big today, but held back thinking the market would go down today.

SIX

COST – Yeh Costco. I’m low on bulk items and need to go there this week actually. That place is always busy.

LM – Value play.

UTHR – Might be an excellent long term hold as well as option play. Will try to remember to look at this one tomorrow.

HCN, BMR – Two health care REITs showing movement. I might actually park some retirement cash in one of these. HCN has a 2.7% divy and BMR has a 4.3% divy.

IFN – The India Fund. Don’t buy it yet. Give it a few weeks. This is showing signs of technical strength within weakness.
