AAPL 12/03 Test 18 194.84 -3.24 184.30 203.95 38M 45M 195.88
Trailing Stop. Taking no chances with this one and locked in some gain, particularly on the January options. Looking to see if AAPL sets up a new buy soon after this pullback as it did manage to hold the 10 day EMA and early December high Wednesday in this light selling.

AAPL 11/20 Test 50 194.84 -3.24 175.11 198.95 38M 40M 195.88
Trailing Stop.

APA 12/27 Test BO 110.31 +2.77 108.56 122.75 3.7M 4.4M 106.89
Current. APA with a huge boost in volume back to above average as it posted some excellent gains through the session. Just continuing a solid Asc Bse higher into January. Expecting APA to head even higher from here on this solid volume.

APA 12/18 PreAnn 110.31 +2.77 105.89 121.45 3.7M 5.3M 106.89

APC 12/18 PreAnn 66.67 +0.98 62.44 71.95 4M 4.5M 64.97
Current. APC still stalling in the upper 60s on below average volume as it gave a doji to the start of 2008. Just taking it easy some more to start the New Year after a solid run higher through December. Higher volume is all it takes to get APC started upside again, otherwise still in solid shape.

BG 12/26 Test 18 122.10 +5.69 121.82 139.95 2M 1.4M 117.88
Entered today. BG with some solid upside movement on high volume Wednesday to start the New Year right. Great bounce up off the pullback from late December back to the 18 day EMA as it test the early December high. Could not resist this awesome breakout from Wednesday as we are looking to ride this one much higher from here.

BG 11/29 Cup 122.10 +5.69 116.55 133.85 2M 1.6M 121.48

BIDU 12/29 Asc Bse 381.88 -7.92 395.24 454.00 5.5M 10M 383.44
Entered today. This one was entered Monday. Late recovery intraday for BIDU after some modest selling back to the 18 day EMA near 380. Love the setup here for a breakout after this easy pullback into January and expecting a bounce higher from here in this solid Asc bse. Nice.

BLK 12/29 Cup hdl 215.31 -1.49 220.78 253.95 218K 668K 214.38
Buy Not Hit. Quiet pullback into January on this quick test of the Cup hdl with BLK landing on the 10 day EMA Wednesday to find support near 215. Has low volume here in the New Year and just waiting for BLK to get some stronger volume to take the Cup hdl upside again for the buy.

CAM 12/27 PreSplt 49.93 +1.80 49.90 56.75 3.5M 2.5M 47.55
Entered today. Explosive move higher Wednesday with a spike in volume as CAM bounced off the Monday selling back to the 10 day EMA. Hit some mild intraday resistance at the close from the early December high which CAM looks to push past with no problem from here.

CF 12/19 Asc Bse 110.61 +0.55 100.66 119.95 1.3M 3M 113.32
Current. Doji in the close flat Wednesday with rising, below average volume as CF starts to bottom near the 10 day EMA in the low 100s in this quick test from late December. Expecting a bounce higher in the Asc bse soon once volume picks up again.

CHU 12/27 DB hdl 21.34 -1.06 23.15 27.95 1.4M 2.6M 21.89
Buy Not Hit. Gap lower for some harsh selling Wednesday on a slight pickup in volume although still below average. Held the 18 day EMA and early December high as support at the close. Needs to hold the line here to stay on our good side.

CMED 12/22 Rev HS 46.86 +2.47 44.28 54.95 1.2M 1M 43.68
Current. Bought this one Monday and have watched it soar from there. Great gap higher Wednesday and then a solid climb into the upper 40s through the session with high volume in this Rev HS base. CMED looking pretty unstoppable in this breakout. Awesome.

CTRP 12/08 Rev HS 56.97 -0.50 58.05 71.88 504K 1.2M 55.68
Buy Not Issued. Still consolidating along the upper 50s at the bottom of its pullback from mid December to the 50 day EMA. Just running on low volume for now in this lateral movement into 2008 as CTRP needs much stronger volume to start upside again for the buy.

CVX 12/22 Rev HS 93.46 +0.13 94.98 108.95 9.1M 10M 92.94
Current. Doji Wednesday with CVX bottoming in this quick test from the late December high. Slightly below average volume Wednesday for CVX as it looks to continue the Rev HS higher from here out of this quick pullback. Watching closely however to see how it handles the New Year with the rest of the market.

CYBS 12/22 Cup 18.50 +0.73 18.03 21.65 1.2M 1.1M 17.77
Current. Decent recovery from the Monday low as CYBS bounced off the 10 day EMA for some modest gains on above average volume. Nice, long cup base for CYBS here that looks to take it higher soon once this volatile consolidation near 19 ends.

DE 12/20 Test 18 90.20 -2.92 88.48 101.55 5.1M 6M 90.04
Trailing Stop. Protecting some gain as the early action looked bad for DE with the harsh selling Wednesday. It held the 10 day EMA at the close and if it can show it is going to hold, we will look at new buys.

DVN 12/26 Rev HS 91.68 +2.77 92.24 105.95 4M 4.4M 89.91
Buy Not Hit. Nice move higher for DVN out of this late December pullback to start off 2008 right. Got above average volume in this impressive move higher in the Rev HS and ready to enter if it continues from here.

EDU 12/22 Asc Tri 76.70 -3.89 83.88 99.95 780K 700K 79.92
Buy Not Issued. Saw some tough selling Wednesday on high volume to close at the 50 day EMA after what looked to be EDU holding support near 80 from the 18 day EMA. Not the move we were looking to enter on at all and with early January a typically shaky time for the market we let this one go.

EGOV 12/01 Rev HS 8.50 +0.06 8.39 10.25 245K 300K 8.68
Lateral movement Wednesday on above average volume as EGOV holds at the 10 day EMA at the bottom of its test. Need to see EGOV continue to stay above the 18 day EMA near 8.40 here to keep itself out of trouble.

ESLR 12/17 Test BO 17.44 +0.17 15.63 18.85 4.1M 7.4M 17.31
Trailing Stop. Started Wednesday with a gap higher but started to sell so saved some gains from December. Still, managed to only post a doji and recover the intraday selling so if it holds here we will look at new positions.

ESLR 11/15 Test 18 17.44 +0.17 14.17 16.95 4.1M 5.4M 17.31
Trailing Stop.

GIGM 12/26 Asc Bse 18.63 -0.12 20.91 25.22 705K 2M 19.45
Buy Not Hit. GIGM with a doji on the quiet step lower Wednesday with volume fading and low. Expecting GIGM to bottom in the test soon with volume and selling momentum fading near support from the December lows. Watching for the buy once we see a solid bottom in this pullback.

GILD 11/27 Dbl btm 45.34 -0.67 45.77 52.89 6.5M 7.8M 46.27
Exited. GILD hitting the stop losses on some hard selling Wednesday as it sold back to the 50 day SMA on a spike of volume to near average levels. Managed to hold the average and December lows as support so will see if it can hold the line here, otherwise GILD just testing the Dbl btm higher with some harsh market selling.

GMCR 12/18 Cup hdl 39.62 -1.08 41.50 49.95 159K 300K 39.69
Current. Gave this one the benefit of the doubt Wednesday as GMCR sold slightly past the 10 day EMA on low volume. Held the 18 day EMA as support in the session as it recovered some of the intraday selling and just need to see GMCR continue holding the 18 day EMA to stay out of trouble.

GME 12/15 Test 50 60.30 -1.81 60.98 72.65 2.3M 4M 60.77
Current. Managed to hold the 18 day EMA as support Wednesday in some modest selling so let it ride for another session. Has to stay above the key support here at the average to keep us interested.

Buy Not Hit.

GOOG 12/03 Cup hdl 685.19 -6.29 687.88 742.00 4.3M 8M 713.32
Current. Wednesday GOOG held the 50 day SMA after some modest selling and seeing if it can get through the early year push back. Still an excellent ascending base into 2008 that we would love to continue to ride higher if GOOG can hold up against the New Year for a bit here.

GOOG 11/17 Test 50 685.19 -6.29 659.65 724.95 4.3M 8.6M 713.32

Buy Not Issued. HOLX with some hard selling back to the 18 day EMA on above average volume Wednesday as it held the average and late October highs as support. Has picked up speed in the test of the late December high now and just waiting for this one to bottom in the test before we can consider some entry points.

HOLX 12/15 Asc Bse 67.51 -1.13 67.88 77.65 3.8M 3.6M 69.39

HUM 12/12 Cup hdl 78.12 +2.81 77.91 89.95 2.2M 2.4M 75.57
Entered today. Got in on HUM as it blasted higher Wednesday with above average volume out of the late December pullback to the 18 day EMA. Nice, solid breakout here that looks to continue even higher this week in this Cup hdl.

ICE 12/17 Test BO 185.50 -7.00 185.36 209.95 1.3M 2.2M 188.11
Current. ICE with some rough selling back near the 18 day EMA at the close with a boost in volume. Just testing the late December Dbl btm high and decided to leave it alone another day to see if it can hold the 18 day EMA in the test. Needs to hold the average to stay out of trouble.

IMO 12/22 Rev HS 54.92 +0.14 55.15 65.95 317K 325K 54.57
Current. Closed flat Wednesday on average volume as IMO rests a bit after the solid December uptrend. Has a great Rev HS base to work higher from and looks to do so after this rest ends with volume picking up again.

ININ 12/19 Test 50 26.06 -0.29 26.98 32.38 217K 300K 25.77
Buy Not Issued. Doji Wednesday as ININ held the 50 day SMA intraday as support with below average volume. Looks to have bottomed in this pullback as selling momentum fades, but still keeping a close watch to see how ININ handles the New Year as the market tends to be a bit shaky here. Read to enter once ININ bottoms and shows its ready to start the Dbl btm higher.

ISRG 12/27 Asc Bse 323.95 +0.95 335.35 395.00 835K 2.1M 323.11
Buy Not Hit. Closed flat with a doji Wednesday at the 18 day EMA to hold support there intraday. Downside momentum looks to be dried up here as ISRG holds at key support. Expecting a bounce higher soon, but with the market typically pretty shaky on the first couple sessions of the year we will watch closely to see how ISRG handles it and ready to enter if it gets strong volume in the bounce upside.

JNPR 12/26 Cup hdl 32.10 -1.10 35.05 41.95 7.6M 12M 33.68
Buy Not Hit. JNPR just could not stop the bleeding as it continued selling past the key 50 day EMA Wednesday on a boost of volume. Got the axe as we took it off the tables with this negative action for the start of 08.

MA 12/17 Test 18 214.68 -0.52 211.98 244.95 2M 4.8M 204.22
Current. MA with some light selling Wednesday on low volume as it continues to rest from mid December after the pullback from its DB hdl high. Still just waiting for volume to pick back up again before MA can make any solid moves higher, otherwise just taking it easy and resting into 2008.

MOS 12/17 FlyPlat 94.74 +0.40 86.10 99.95 3.6M 5M 93.11
Current. MOS resting at the top of its December run into the mid 90s as it gave another close flat Wednesday. Saw the return of some average volume to start January off in decent shape as MOS just cools it for a bit.

MSFT 12/05 Test 50 35.22 -0.38 34.59 40.74 63M 90M 35.45
Current. Continued a bit lower into the New Year as MSFT met the 18 day EMA on a slight pickup in volume as it held the average and mid December high as support at the close. MSFT still in pretty good shape here as it tests back near the mid 30s and looks to bottom near here at key support soon.

NDAQ 12/13 Cup hdl 48.23 -1.26 48.32 56.00 1.6M 4M 47.98
Current. Struggling at the November high which is the high in NDAQs Cup hdl base as it sold back to the 10 day EMA Wednesday from light resistance at the prior high. Needs to hold near the 10 day EMA and make a run at that old high and take it out.

NVDA 12/20 Cup hdl 33.01 -1.01 35.57 41.65 12M 14M 33.98
Buy Not Issued. A victim of the chip sector downgrade as NVDA sold well past the 90 day SMA and 50 day EMA Wednesday. Both key averages as support for NVDA that it managed to hold Monday before the downgrade. Had to drop it after this negative action.

NYX 11/01 Test BO 84.65 -3.12 91.29 99.95 3.2M 7M 87.08
Current. Pretty hard selling Wednesday on rising, below average volume with NYX closing below the 50 day EMA. Needs to buck it up from here to stay out of trouble and on the table.

NYX 10/23 Cup 84.65 -3.12 88.85 99.95 3.2M 5M 87.08
Current.

Buy Not Hit. ONXX still in a quiet test of the late December high of its Asc bse. Doji Wednesday to kick off 2008 in what looks to be the bottom of this short pullback. With the market typically pretty iffy here early in the year we will watch closely to see if ONXX continues lower, otherwise expecting a bounce upside soon for the buy with volume already back at average.

PZE 12/13 Cup hdl 13.80 -0.15 12.84 15.55 1.6M 400K 13.68
Current. Doji in the close flat Wednesday with high volume as PZE slowly tests its late December breakout in the Cup hdl. With the doji here it looks good to resume higher soon especially with volume still well above average. Nice.

RIMM 11/27 Test 50 113.71 +0.31 119.22 136.95 24M 32M 116.21
Current. RIMM still testing the massive gap from late December as it slowly works its way back to the 50 day SMA this week. Nice job holding the average as key support intraday Wednesday as RIMM looks to be in good shape to start upside again soon with volume rising and already near average.

SDS 12/12 Rolling 55.12 +0.94 53.96 60.75 12M 21M 55.08
Current. SDS heading uphill again from the late December pullback as it saw a nice pickup in volume Wednesday although still below average. Nice, progressive breakout as SDS continues to pick up speed from the late December bounce higher and in good shape to continue through the week.

SID 12/15 PreAnn 88.59 -0.98 82.33 99.95 987K 1.4M 87.88
Current. Still resting near the 90s after the mid December breakout off the test of the 50 day EMA. Nice job testing the 10 day EMA intraday as support Wednesday with SID in good shape to start uphill again once volume picks up. Otherwise just taking it easy for now with this below average volume.

Doji Wednesday on above average volume with SII starting to come out of this late December consolidation. Has stalled for a bit here near the mid October high and looks ready to start uphill again in the Rev HS. Need to see SII push past this key prior high without serious resistance problems to stay out of trouble.

SLB 12/29 Dbl btm 100.58 +2.21 100.93 114.95 9.2M 12M 98.48

SOHU 12/15 Cup hdl 52.26 -2.26 56.68 69.95 874K 2.6M 54.69
Current. One of our solid China positions as SOHU sold a bit but with low volume so let it test the 50 day EMA this week. Needs to hold here and looks good to do just that.

SPWR 12/04 DB hdl 127.72 -2.67 130.38 149.95 2.2M 2.8M 137.89
Current. Solar sold but rebounded intraday. Bounced crisply off the 50 day SMA Wednesday and decided to let it run another session. Just an easy pullback here into 2008 as SPWR looks to bottom here near key support from the December lows and 50 day SMA.

SRCL 12/27 Asc Tri 57.84 -1.56 59.65 69.95 696K 575K 57.42

STLD 12/22 PreAnn 57.97 -1.60 58.69 66.95 2.7M 2.4M 58.55
Exited. Was selling on strong volume through Wednesday to continue the test from late December so we took it off the table. Managed to close at the 10 day EMA as support and if it holds we will look at new positions.

TKC 12/29 Pennant 27.47 -0.10 28.22 33.95 838K 2M 26.65
Buy Not Hit. Still inside its consolidation range from mid December as TKC continues its lateral movement from the test of its early December high. Just hanging around the upper 20s as it rests a bit along the bottom of this test, waiting for higher volume to start it upside again for the buy.

VIP 12/03 Test BO 43.74 +2.14 36.78 42.85 3.9M 5M 42.38
Current. Great rebound off the Monday low at the 10 day EMA as VIP starts uphill again from here with above average volume. In good shape to continue higher and take the Asc Bse into the mid 40s from here, just watching to see how it handles the shaky New Year market for early January.

Buy Not Issued. Awesome job rebounding from the Monday low as XTO kicked off 2008 with a doji back at the key 18 day EMA to hold the average as support. Nice above average volume here with XTO recovering the harsh, late December selling. Needs to continue higher with this strong, rising volume for the buy.

YGE 12/17 Cup hdl 38.46 -0.24 35.48 42.50 2.5M 4.3M 39.88
Current. Doji to hold the 10 day EMA as support Wednesday with just below average volume in the session as YGE looks t have bottomed in this late December test of the Cup high. In good shape to start upside again soon with volume picking up and YGE holding near the key 10 day EMA.

GRMN with a nice gap lower Wednesday on a boost of volume to post some solid downside movement for the start of the New Year. Held support from the late November and mid December lows near 91 at the close Wednesday and GRMN still in good shape to continue lower on this strong selling volume.

IWM 12/11 Put 75.16 -0.76 76.21 73.15 94M 90M 75.46
Current. Saw some decent selling Wednesday for IWM as it continues into January from the late December test of the 200 day SMA. Nice job of keeping up the selling from that test of the key average as IWM shows no signs of slowing down yet.

JAKK 12/29 Put 23.26 -0.35 23.54 22.00 257K 400K 24.05
Buy Not Issued. Fell quickly and then rebounded off an old TL so we will wait to see if it bounces a hair and then rolls back over. High volume Wednesday with trade continuing to pick up into the New Year as JAKK continued a bit lower Wednesday.
