Agriculture ETF continues higher
DBA, the PowerShares agriculture ETF continues to move higher. It found support around $27.80 a last week and has been moving higher even on such a weak tape. I started a new position around $28.35 with a target of $30. … Continue reading
Molycorp loses momentum
Looks like the bulls are leaving Molycorp (MCP) for now. I don’t have a position and won’t deploy any cash until I see where it finds solid support. It needs to hold above $4.55 to avoid triggering a monster head … Continue reading
Baidu finds temporary support
Buyers of Baidu (BIDU) are stepping in around $155 and I am dipping my toes for a very quick trade. I have an initial target of $160 and ultimately $165 where I expect sellers to come in again. I plan … Continue reading
Bank of America, another failed pattern
Yet another failed break out as Bank of America (BAC) gave back last week’s gains in the previous two sessions. It appears to have found support around $17.30 for now while sellers lurk around $17.60. Holding above $17.60 would be … Continue reading

Bank of America moves higher while market lowers
Bank of America (BAC) tested its March 5th break out level and rallied on a weak market. This is very bullish for the stock. It printed an inverse head and shoulders pattern (5 min chart) yesterday that needs to be … Continue reading
DryShips Rallies
DryShips (DRYS) gaped and rallied higher yesterday to trade above $3.90, where it had been rejected last month. It is set to open above $4 today where potential sellers await. I am preparing to add to my position if it … Continue reading
DBA Target reached
DBA reached my target on Friday and I decided to close my position to raise cash. I expect it to consolidate, and maybe pull back a bit here. Besides, the situation in Ukraine is unsettling the markets and I want … Continue reading
Baidu back up to previous highs!
Baidu (BIDU) broke out off an eight day trading range and moved back up to last year’s highs yesterday. It hit my trigger price around $169 at the bottom of the trading range last Tuesday, but somehow I didn’t get … Continue reading
