Competition



Good morning folks, 
We had small bounce in commodities catching some of the gold, silver and oil bears by surprise. JNUG NUGT USLV and a few select small oil names were decent plays for a nice snap back play. The IWM continued the weakness that began on Friday filling the gap on the daily and now testing moving average support. 
   
This morning we are seeing some weakness in the commodities and the indexes are flashing a little green. We had a few mergers announced CY and CODE, AVNR is being acquired by a Japanese firm, AV is merging with a company out of the UK, GLW is buying Samsungs Fiber optic business. 

The markets are still fairly choppy so be patient with your entries and try not to chase anything. I did begin a starter position in F for a long term hold. I really like the way it is flagging just below the 16 dolla holla. I scaled some TASR swing yesterday but will be looking to take it and possibly DGLY for a day trade if we get a continuation of strength today. 

Stocks on the Radar  
VGGL active premarket, TASR and DGLY, GRPN upgrade yesterday like the daily pr this morning, CY testing levels it hasn't seen in quite awhile possible 12 dolla roll, ISR possible follow through and 2 dollar roll, UEC pr possible bounce off of 20 EMA,  MOLG possible bounce play Day trade only, DGAZ 4 dolla roll,
