Being long the indexes didn’t work today. The RUT took a beating, but I’m expecting an end to this slide tomorrow morning at 8:30am when the jobs report comes out.

BPHX – Owned and sold it yesterday, the stock popped back higher today more than 8%. Like I said yesterday I should have held on. I may rebuy this one tomorrow. It could turn into a big swing trade here.

MDR – I got in early on the day. In fact as soon as I decided to buy, MDR dropped about 1%. Seriously I can top any stock on an intraday basis, but MDR held its gains on the day and still took out some meaningful highs by the close. See the chart.

KONG – On the watchlist ripped today

DSX – I bought some Feb 35s today. Got a ridiculous fill from Ameritrade. Short term trade.

WX - I might get back into it tomorrow.

VLO – Has broken down. It comes off the watchlist today. If we use the closing price on 12-17 of $67.06, the day I added it to the watchlist, and the closing price of today $66.43, we have a less than 1% loss.

NVDA – Also coming off the list today. Same concept as above 1.6% loss.

UUP – Should’ve pulled that off yesterday. Loss of a few pennies.

Adding to the list:

UPL

SVA – My old fav.

CHLN – China Housing and Land. I always have to add the speculative stocks in there. Quick Trade.

HOGS – More china stuff.

NBG – An old fav as well, adding it to the list.

Thanks for reading
