Good morning folks,
Can't wait for the fight this weekend! My money is going on Pacquiao >its likely that Maywaeather wins but I like rooting for the underdog!!
We did some technical damage in the markets yesterday and like we have been talking about "Sell in May and go away" could become a self fulfilling prophecy this year.
I did not like the way the IWM closed below 122 and other indexes are either testing longer term trend lines, or a moving average like the 50 or 100 day. Today could be a defining moment for several of the indexes so caution is advised. This may be just another buy the dip opportunity but as we lose key levels the selling could intensify and we could finally get out 10 percent correction. 10 Percent may not be all we get if some real fear takes hold. For people that are more swing or long term hold traders I wouldn't be starting new positions unless you are planning to scale in. I won't be taking a full position in anything but looking at stocks like DIS AAPL GILD and others that I want to own but I will be identifying areas of support where I would start to nibble and other areas where I would add should the stocks continue to break down in a market that is in a correction. That is a much different approach from day trading but one that I am comfortable with from my early days of being an investor and not a trader.
For today it looks like we are catching a bit of a bounce premarket and markets are in the green. In my opinion, how we close is much more important.
Stocks on my radar premarket
FEYE already a swing earnings last night 46 is the key break out area, VLTC potential continuation, GBSN could be ready for a bounce, LLNW raised guidance and caught an upgrade 4 doll roll good looking daily, REXX hot looking daily looking for a 5 dolla roll with conviction, ISR potential continuation and anticipation run into data event next week looking for a 2 dolla holla,
