Watchlist for Christmas Eve

An abbreviated and late watchlist today.

AHD, CIIC, SNS, CGEN, PSDV, ATHX are all potential shorts on weakness. ATHX and CGEN are probably the best setups. SNS is the dark-horse.

Watchlist for the day before Christmas Eve

AHD – A double on no news but an upgrade? Short on red. I have fond memories of the last NYSE MLP I shorted, USS (from back in July 2008).

ahd

ATHX – Whoa, Momma! Unsupportable move, but hey, I’m long-biased now. This thing was a no-brainer buy on the break of the high today. I’d consider buying it on green tomorrow. ATHX is the new NLST! Could also be a good short on red.

athx

CIIC – Yeah, baby! A 90% move on no news? I’m eager to short this crappy China stock. I’d consider longing it on green, too, but my bet is it falls 20% tomorrow.

ciic

NVLT – Nice move, less interesting to me than the stocks above, especially considering it is an OTC BB stock.

Do you even know what you don’t know about AMCORE Financial?

One trade today, a short of AMFI … I would’ve played it bigger and held on longer but I am just finishing up my SEC Filing DVD. You probably only have a few days to a week left to order it at special pre-order pricing.

For more information on Canopy Financial and Jeremy Blackburn, check out this SEC litigation release.

Watchlist for December 22nd

Not much here. I hope someone profited from MTEX as a short today, from yesterday’s watchlist. It was down 20% today, fading gradually throughout the day.

AMFI – Short hard on red, potential long on red/green. This thing is still likely to go bankrupt and even after a 100% run in two days it remains priced for bankruptcy.

Trade recap: Nothing to see here

Boring day for me.

Watchlist for Monday

PCBC – Nice move Friday on strong volume; this has a history of multi-day runs. I would consider going long on red/green. CPF has a similar chart, though not as good a history of multi-day runs.

pcbc

SMOD – Nice breakout, at longer-term resistance. Good volume Friday. It was up on earnings, so it may keep going.

smod

MTEX – I’m always short-biased on this MLM firm. Hopefully it has a third big up day to set up a better potential short.

mtex

IFNY – Breakout, but on low volume. Tim Sykes is long this. I would not buy this here because it is a pink sheet stock and the volume is anemic.

Watchlist for December 18th

PIR – New 52-week high today and nice breakout.

pir

SNIC – Big breakout today.

snic

MEDG – Goodbye, pumped piece o’ crap! I just missed a fill on a short order right at the open this morning at $0.80.

medg

MILL – On short watch following big two-day move on a slightly misleading press release. It is misleading in that it uses for the headline number the NPV of not just the proved reserves but also the probable reserves. Sorry boys, you shouldn’t do that. I wouldn’t really want to short this unless it has another big up day.

mill

EXAS – Nice breakout, lower volume.
