EB Watch List Update Report
Dear Members,
KEY EARNINGS REPORTS:
Thursday: MU, NKE
Friday: BBRY
MARKET NOTE:
One day after the bulls showed so much resiliency, they are feeling a very stern test as the bears have returned in force. NASDAQ - 4485. S&P 500 -1976. Semiconductors ($DJUSSC) - 1775. Banks ($DJUSBK) - 315. Railroads ($DJUSRR) - 1400. These are all very critical short-term support levels the bulls need to defend on a closing basis. The more that fail, the more technical selling we're like to see ahead in the near-term, so be careful heading into today's close.
ADDITIONS TO WATCH LISTS:
There are no additions to our Watch Lists today.
BRIEF COMMENTS ON SELECT WATCH LIST STOCKS:
Short Watch List:
There are no Short Watch List stocks at this time.
Large Cap Watch List:
BIDU - It's obvious that rising 50 day SMA is providing key short-term support.
NTAP - Showing its first significant sign of weakness since it gapped higher on big volume in mid-August. With the long-term negative divergence in play, I wouldn't be interested in considering a long position until there's a 50 day SMA test.
CRM - Nearly triggered our 2nd entry at 56.00. It has since rebounded approximately 1%.
Mid Cap Watch List:
AMBA - On the verge of losing short-term price support at 40.52. A rising 20 day EMA test would provide solid entry for aggressive traders.
DSW - Actually higher today and continuing to hold 20 day EMA support - bullish action.
Small Cap Watch List:
No comments at this time.
DELETIONS FROM OUR WATCH LISTS:
There are no deletions today unless closing stops are violated.
Happy trading!
