Trade Ideas: THI
2007-01-24 23:10:02
Markets are taking a spill on the jobs data, hitting small cap stocks the hardest. The Trade Idea s scan was also slow to pull up stock ideas; 8 picks covered a time span of 1 hour. At least on the frequency front there was a clear leader in Tim Horton's Inc (THI) at 41 appearances over the day. The stock is recovering from an earlier break from a rising wedge. Expect some weakness at $30.89

2007-01-24 23:10:02
The wide range bars from yesterday disguised the true extent of Thursday's buying. It was another day of heavy volume (but below that of yesterday). The Trade Idea s scan was a little slow for the day that it was with 8 picks covering a time span of 16 minutes. Clearing the 20 appearance barrier were Mastercard (MA) and Kroger (KR) at 27 and 24 appearances a piece. Mastercard (MA) has

The general market dive in the afternoon will likely see a "dead-cat-bounce", but over the next few weeks a test of the various indices 200-day MAs looks most probable. The Trade Idea s scan died when the selling began; although it wasn't exactly firing on all cylinders - 8 picks covered a time span of 85 minutes. A couple of picks made it over the 20 appearance mark: Korea Electric Power Corp (

January 2006 - December 2006: How did my picks perform?
2007-01-24 23:10:02
If looking at a straight performance measure for stocks picked in January 2006 and sold at the end of December it was not a good year for my Fallondpicks.com stocks. However, the caveat here was that no stop prices were used. So lets get the bad news out of the way with first. My Subscriber picks (yes - the ones which one pays for!) had an average return of -7% for the year with 28% of the 42

Weekend Commentary from Fallondpicks.com
2007-01-24 23:10:02
The long weekend likely contributed to the lower volume traded on Friday, but all-in-all it was a good week for the bulls. Solid breakouts in the NASDAQ, NASDAQ 100, Dow, and S&P have reinstated the bull market and put some pressure on the weak technical pictures supporting these indices. Chief of which were the across the board MACD bearish divergences - now pressurized by NASDAQ and NASDAQ 100

Trade Ideas: UNP
2007-01-24 23:10:02
A quiet day for the markets saw the Trade Idea s scan drift out to 50 minutes for 8 picks. Union Pacific (UNP) screamed ahead with 53 appearances on the Trade Ideas scan day after breaking from a declining wedge. Larger resistance lurks at $97.49 with a projected target of $117.49. Stops on a loss of $90. Union Pacific Corporation, through its subsidiary, Union Pacific Railroad Company,

The market returned some of its recent gains, but there was a marked improvement in the rate of buying; the Trade Idea s scan increased the timing of the 8 picks to 1 minute, although there still wasn't a lot of strength in individual stocks. Mobile Telesystems OJSC (MBT) broke the 20 appearance barrier to register 25 hits on the day. Mobile Telesystems OJSC (MBT) trades inside a rising channel.

Tech and small caps are taking it on the chin as large caps hold on. The Trade Idea s scan was a little slower with 8 picks covering a time span of 12 minutes. Within that time frame only one stock broke the 20 appearance barrier: Kinder Morgan Energy (KMP) at 25 hits, but earlier in the day and at 35 hits was Johnson and Johnson (JNJ) - a stock I have been holding for 5 years.

I will lead off with Richard Lehman's work. He said it nicely here: 1/20 -- In a rare occurrence, EVERY major index here (Dow, Naz, QQQQ, RUT and SPX) all stopped DEAD ON the upper lines of their new short term downtrends. That amount of unison is amazing (a little channel magic, maestro?). Unless Monday is a solidly positive opening, they will all likely back off and head lower again within

Although I didn't post a time scale for Friday's buying on the Trade Idea s scan (13 minutes) it was little changed to today at 15 minutes for 8 stocks. None of this is a surprise in light of Monday's selling but the real question will be how Nov-Jan support hold in the face of increasing supply? Of the 8 stocks, two broke the 20 appearance barrier: Webster Financial (WBS) and New Oriental (EDU)

Barring a late day collapse it was significantly better day for the markets. The Trade Idea s scan ducked under 10 minutes in selecting 8 stocks, requiring 8 minutes - not quite "super bull" but better than recent buying. Two picks: Commscope (CTV) and Kadant (KAI), broke the 20 appearance mark at 25 and 30 hits apiece. It was interesting to see stocks like Commscope (CTV), Kadant (KAI),

The last couple weeks of holiday trading haven't seen too much change in the markets. Things are unlikely to spice up until the week after next as markets will be closed for almost half of next week. Not surprsingly, there wasn't many new charts to showcase given the lack of change. Joe Reed had commented: *** Dec '06 - Here's what's happening now *** THIRD QUARTER 'EARNINGS' came in Extremely

Fallond / Trade Ideas / Jim Cramer : October 18 - 19th
2006-10-27 15:21:04
Two days worth of review for you. It was a mixed bag of results; for Wednesday and Thursday the market ETFs returned two positive performances (+0.86% and +1.98%), while my newsletter picks had the best (+3.25%) and worst (-2.45%) weekly returns for the two days. The Trade Idea s scan fell in the middle with its -1.11% and +0.76% performance. There was only one set of picks for Jim Cramer and his

The rally marches on - although on a percentage basis there was little change to previous days gains, from the point of buying individual stocks there was a more substantial increase; the Trade Idea s scan took just 1 minute to come up with 8 stocks - better than previous days. The only stock to dominate the buying was W.R. Berkley (BER) at 43 appearances over the course of the day. But beyond

A roller coaster ride for the market after the Fed decision. The markets were left little changed by the close, but it remains to be seen which side (bull or bear?) will dominate. There was no great change in the level of individual stock buying; 8 picks covered a time span of 3 minutes; a little stronger to the past couple days worth of buying. Most frequent to appear over the course of the day

Earnings kept the rally bubbling, sweeping markets higher after days of quiet action. The Trade Idea s scan saw a reasonable broad swathe of buying with no one stock or ETF coming to the fore. Coverage of 8 stocks took 5 minutes; a little longer than what could have been expected for a day such as it was. On the frequency table, IShares S&P Latin America 40 Index (ILF) was the most prevalent at

The Dow hit the magical 12K. Tech indices are challenging May highs. Small caps continue to improve. How do things look for next week? Joe Reed noted RSI fast approaching 70 in the Dow; a previous marker for tops in 2000 and more recently in May 2006: His opinion is posted to the following chart. If he wants to claim "Near 100% Perfect Indicators" he would need to be more decisive than he is

The indices are behaving in a quiet, low key manner. But many individual stocks are showing some nice bullish action. Looking through my various picks I was seeing a number of bullish piercing patterns at points of support. The Trade Idea s scan picked up the buying pace from yesterday; 8 picks covered a time span of 6 minutes. Outside the range of recent buying, but a marked improvement to

Pushed below the 7-day low to hit the stop intraday on Tuesday. Tightened the stop after what had been a rapid advance from $52 to $67. Trade exited at $63.89 for a +$1,488 profit on a 200 share lot. Three new plays have been added to take the exposure to 36% equity, 64% cash on a $100K account with $14.8K in banked profit. Coll ective 2

The focus of the day was 12K on the Dow (will Tuesday be the day?). But there was decent activity all around; 8 picks covered a time span of 4 minutes by the Trade Idea s scan. Over the last 2 months, Scripps E W Co (SSP) and Honeywell (HON) enjoyed bullish crosses of the 50-day MA by the 20-day MA. Reckson Associate Realty (RA) suffered a bearish cross and a bullish cross of the 50-day and 20-day

Stop placement
2006-10-14 01:48:04
If I am going to use the trailing stop for a certain trade. What percentage should I use? or there is another way of installing this feature? what is it?Placing stops is always a tricky subject. Much of it depends on the risk threshold of the individual, as it is the projected plan for the trade (short term hold, swing trade, long term/investment).The bulk of my suggested trades fall into the intermediate/swing trade category; with failed plays often holding for less than a month (often weeks, or days); successful trades tend to close inside 6-months. I give a suggested initial stop price for stocks featured in my newsletter (some of the most recent picks are available for free here):In some cases, I will feature a stock more than once over this period. Stop s are nearly always raised, and in some instances the target price is revised upward too. But what of the bulk of trades which fail to make the grade for a second (third, or fourth) time - how can one employ active stop protectio...

Fallond / Trade Ideas / Jim Cramer : October 3rd
2006-10-11 18:27:04
For the first time in a long (long) time the weekly performance of my newsletter picks was strong; returning +6.04% on the week - the second best performance from the newsletter picks since February 22nd (and a +7.50% return). The Trade Idea s pick was no slouch either, returning +3.32% with all 8 picks profitable. Unfortunately, there were no picks from Jim Cramer to compare. The market ETFs

Markets continue to push their advances, even if it is only a a few points worth. The Trade Idea s scan was weakly bullish; to select 8 different picks covered a time span of 11 minutes. By far the most frequent to appear was Trammell Crow (TCC) at 33 times - second was Bunge Ltd (BG) at 16 appearances. Trammell Crow has shaped a small handle between former resistance (now support) and a new

Nice channel in play. Follow the trend; buy support - sell resistance. Chief negatives are the bearish divergence in the MACD and the weakening bullish strength as measured by +DI. STEC
