brief commentary: the majority of these names are in breakout mode. those that still have some resistance above are likely to take them out sooner than later. i current hold C. i recently sold out of AMG, BEN, BIIB, IFF. it’s been several weeks since i’ve held SHW, VAL, WLP. i’ve no no position in LVS, TYL, NATH, AOS, ESGR. it’s been so long since i’ve held BDX, it may as well be i haven’t held. i’ll be watching SHW & VAL as i am currently light basic materials. will wait though for pullback for better entry.

brief commentary: both are stocks i have owned recently (no pos now) and like the names. however, both are on steroids right now and i need to wait till they come in a lot before i contemplate starting any new positions.

stubbystock technical alert summary [EOD20130502] $FEIC $CBS $MDSO $HCA $SNI $TARO and others
Posted by stubbybrown in Technical Alerts on 2013/05/02
- table below is the result of screening my holdings at EOD for the respective bullish technical conditions.
- table below is a histogram of the number of times a stock above populated my screens.
- i use worden TC2000 for the majority of my charting & TA w.r.t. the above. at some point i will post the details of these screens. i’m very picky for the kind of stocks that indicate bullish signals. obviously not all “bulls” are the same and vice-versa with “bears.”
brief trading and market summary for 20130501 $LNKD $TYX $TLT
Posted by stubbybrown in 52 week highs, Commentary on 2013/05/01
CBOE 30yr T-bond treasury yield index
- since my previous post on this subject, i have moved my est out when 30yr T-bond yield index $TYX would bottom from may-31-2013 to jun-14-2013.

notable 52 week highs
- i have 1 notable high to mention based on my rather stringent criteria: $LNKD
- i held $LNKD until today and sold for a good gain. great stock, great company but i’m bearish cyclical & aggressive growth equities & the major equity indexes until treasury yields reverse direction. i’ll look to possibly get back in $LNKD at that point.

trading outlook & equity positions
- again, for the near-term, i’m bearish major equity indexes as well as cyclical & aggressive growth sectors in particular until there’s more visibility with interest rates change momentum going back higher. i am long a few remaining equities at the moment (see finviz charts & data): $AMT $ANSS $ASML $AXP $C $CCI $CHD $DE $DTE $DXPE $GMCR $HES $PAA $PNC $PVH $TDG $TGI $TRIP. i may add to defensive related equities like consumer staples, health care, utilities & such.
- i am short-term long the following bond related etfs (see finviz charts & info): $BOND $LQD $LTPZ $PDI $TLT and will likely add to them on dips of these holdings until risk-on sentiment has returned to the market – when bond yields change momentum.
