The big story - will S&P will get through 1100.....
DNR.... why is this so beat up
OXPS looks like its making a turn up...
GMCR pull back or rip higher will be ready
BKS ..... nice story with a new e-reader thing
on a side note in my fake money account I traded the spread on RRGB into earnings I bought 100 of the 20 calls
and 100 of the 15 puts...... cost was around 6k made $900 profit... now if it would have stayed between the 2 strikes I would have lost. I guess you could then sell the inside puts and calls after the earnings to try and cover your losses but would need lots of cash tied up in your account to cover the underlying....like an Iron Condor

Hi Eman93
"So how then do you pick? (if any of the old vets want to throw a bone here is your chance) this is where I am now..... fundamentals and sector play a role.... short intrest and currency..... customer base.... the micro and macro of the company.... fed and taxes.....as you can see it would take a huge amount of time to research each one for a 3 day swing.... so what to do? you can buy the IBD 100.....you can start to build a list of names and wait for them to pull back and get in."
Sorry for my ignorance but what is IBD 100?
Thanks.

totaly blew the SVA trade today.......i was going to try and swing it...... I dont know what made me think this is a good time to start a swing --- the market is in limbo with no edge, should have took profits as it spiked.... I was in right open.......anyway I put this down as another lesson.
Sold F for a 2% gain....

DPTR may have bottomed ...... for the record I am in this and taking a beating... the good news is the price to book is $7.00 they own a ton of drilling rights... its funny the more I hold a bad trade the more I find out about that company... I did know the price to book before entering the trade... they had some bad news, some well was a dry hole hence the selloff....
