Reversals

Triggered by OPEC’s cut in oil production, all indexes dropped a lot. Although they were above or at support levels, the increased volume was troublesome.

EBAY hit the target @56 though the intraday high was 57.2. Left a lot of money on the table due to lack of time on watching the market closely.

Long: QQQ Oct 32 Puts, SNP (target 28 and trail 2), SUNW (trail 0.3) and MSFT SSF (target 31.5 and stop 28).

August is over

Slowly moving August is over. After this comming Labor Day week, trading volume should be picking up as traders return from their summer vacations. NASDAQ has reached new high and INDU and SPX are approaching its recent high respectively. All markets have done some base building, we will find out wheither or not they will break out or go down. Short term wise, it looks the market will move up a little. Short: QQQ Oct 32 Put (it’s not working obviously after QQQ’s big run up). Long: HNP (I have been waiting for opportunity to own some HNP shares), SUNW, SOHU and MSFT (SSF).
