Providing Stock Market Analysis and Economic Commentary without the Hype
I like the price level here for ON2 Technologies (ONT).
ONT moves wildly at times being a small cap as they are. But this price looks attractive for a long term play. Not adding this to my swing trade portfolio here. But for a multi month play I see this price as being good. Stop loss would be $1.55
Sub Prime made the headlines again after the market closed. It is being reported that a comment made by Bear Sterns is that two of their hedge funds with ties to the sub prime mortgage business are now essentially worthless. Reportedly now worth less than 10 cents on the dollar. I said last week that we have not heard the end of the sub prime woes and I’ll say it again here. The sub prime problem has yet to fully propagate into other areas/sectors. There will be more headlines concerning sub prime in the months to come.
I’m seeing what is looking like a bounce coming soon. So I’m still bullish on BIG as long as the sector is still bullish which it is, just in a pullback currently. The $RLX chart is telling me a rebound is near.
WDC for as long as I can squeeze a gain out of it. NetGear (NTGR)is also on a good run and will keep an eye on it so as to not let the gains slip away if the broad markets turn sour.
to happen.Most of my open swing trades have opened to the upside this morning. NTGR is performing very well.
BIG has been basing around the original buy point. This stock is not catching the retail wave yet. I’m sticking with it until I see a signal that says it is not going to make it.
ONT has pulled back to the support range. Each time ONT pulls back to around the $2.60 area then some big trades go through on an uptick. Other traders are seeing this $2.60 area as a key support as well. I’m holding onto ONT
WDC is catching the beginning of a tech rally (albeit still weak). My entry on WDC could not be more perfect to take advantage of a tech rally. If Intel reports good numbers when they release their quarterly numbers then expect to see WDC and NTGR to be lifted up as well.
ONT has pulled back to the support level. There are many whipsaws going on this morning in many stocks. I am not concerned with ONT’s pullback at this time. Watching the tape I see large block trades with an uptick going through so others out there are seeing this as the buying opportunity. I am holding my ONT position.
BIG – the retail sector is weak so far this morning. BIG is consolidating again just above the original buy point. Seems to be some confusion in the market as to which sectors the large money want to tackle. I watch some oil plays go from red to green and back to red again this morning. Seems as if the large money is re-adjusting their underwear to get ready for the next rally if it comes.
The big winner so far today in the rebeltrader portfolio is ONT. It is up over 10% today so far. A good bounce play this has become. That was why I changed the setup conditions for ONT from the original game plan. When I identified the pullback to a key level the play changed to a buy on signs of a bounce (remember, we don’t buy on the way down, we buy after it hit then catch it as it comes back up).
The metals sector is good today and AKS is slowly making upward movement. Oil Services GRP also doing nicely again today, BIG is another big winner today as the retail sector is hot today.
The only bad play in the book right now is JSDA. Has not been able to keep itself above water as the word of the CEO’s conversation on CNBC has made the rounds and has let the shorts take over control for now. Too bad, without the CEO this could have been a good trend reversal play. It still might but I won’t leave my money in there and risk it. Took my 1/2 position off the table when it hit the stop at $16.90.
The sectors that are doing bad today are biotech & restaurants.
Now, the biggest news of all is that the DJIA has broken out of the trading range (see the DJIA chart on my public chart list: Public charts.) Right now at this time we are above the top of the trading range. If we close above that trading range then we are one step away from returning to a bull mode.
Added to my ONT holding @ 2.75
Add remaining 1/3 on the move over $2.90
Rebeltrader portfolio holding ONT is set to open higher. Current pre market activity has ONT up a bit. Watch for the second buy point if this trend continues after the bell.
I have been using Trade the News ticker service for nearly 3 years and I highly recommend their service.
