Downside volume picking up suggesting a capitualtion is near. Still a catch the knife play Jan Calls $0.40

Approaching the 50-day moving average on light volume. Looking for a one-day sharp sell off to retest the prior low. $0.15 Mar $5 puts

Both moving above resistance. Both resuming uptrends. Both dumped for a loss DJF

Bounce looks tired at resistance. Break above 20-day moving average will be reason to cover. Puts $3.00 http://stockcharts.com/gallery?CSTR

Small three day rally looks to be tiring. Featured as a gold member short play on Jan 24th. Aiming for price target as described in my gold member commentary In: $5.50 http://stockcharts.com/gallery?AEOS

Dumped this after today failed to build on yesterday's gains. Starting to look like a bull trap. Bigger loss than I would have liked on this. The stock featured as a breakout play on Jan 21st. In $10.80 Out: $9.00 http://stockcharts.com/gallery?FFIV

Sold for an average price of $1.55. Bearish cloud cover after a break of $1.60 failed to hold. Watch for further downside. http://stockcharts.com/gallery?PACW DJF

The mining issues may be leading the base metals in forming a bottom. I like the basing action so have taken advantage to buy some calls. Featured on my Stockchart.com public list .

Sold the puts at $3.40 - watching to see how far this will bounce before looking to re-enter. DD as always, DJF

Federated news hit this one hard. Big void down to $19.00. I will wait for rally back to $28 to enter a potential short position.

The 2-month consolidation looks to have ended. Bought $3.10 puts for a move to the 200-day moving average. Is a current breakout from Oct 29th and Sep 21st .

A poor return given the nice entry price. $0.50 drop in price only brought a $0.05 gain in the put. Having said that, it should be possible to get out at $0.55. Favoring support is the 50-day moving average, a market which is oversold in the short term, and light downside volume - although the latter can mean a lack of fear which generally brings more downside. DJF

Exited TUTS on break of support at an average price of $4.41 - net breakeven. Bgt $4.41 Sold $4.41 Look to re-enter at support.

Featured as a gold member play on Jan 13th. Still trading within a narrow range. Trade break of box. Bgt calls $2.40

Bought some insurance for my Jan 06 calls with some Jan $4 puts at $0.05 per contract.

Took advantage of the rebound to sell. It may still be possible to get out at around $6.00 tomorrow but I didn't want to get greedy on this In: $3.00 Out: $4.80

Aggressive (small) trade here. Bought Jun $15 calls at $3.00. Take a look at the average 6-week ATR range of $5. It wouldn't take much of a bounce to send these up a tidy sum (but it wouldn't take much to send them the other way either!).

Sold the puts for a modest gain (In $2.20 Out $2.45). Puts look overvalued and although today's price action looks bearish, intraday - the retest of yesterday's lows is coming on much lighter volume = a sign of seller exhaustion.

Stock has maintained its earlier gains, with price narrowing around $26.00. 50-day moving average is fast approaching. Looks ready for the next leg of its rally. Featured as a breakout on Nov 8th

Third day of buying pushed this over resistance on decent volume. Forced out of this at a bad price - but didn't expect anything better considering the breakout. DJF

Entered a long position here at $4.41. Looks ready to break resistance for a move to $7-8. Featured as a gold member play .

AZN - Earnings due on Jan 27th. Keep a tight rein on this one, a loss of the green hashed line will see me out of this. Featured as a gold member play . Bgt Jan 5th Jan 06 calls $7.50 ERES - Got caught with a GTC buy order which I had forgotten to cancel in favor of a lowered price one I had set. Still like this in the long term. Big support around the $13.65 level. Capitulation looks complete after tumbling from $29 highs. Featured on my public stockchart list . If you check this out don't forget to vote for the list!. Bgt Jan 3rd Jan 06 calls $6.70 PAAS - The only silver play with Jan 06 calls. Liked the bullish divergence in the technicals. Decided to take a bite. Featured on my public stockchart list . Bgt Jan 5th Jan 06 calls $2.10.

SIRI - jumped on the bandwagon once I saw all those exhaustion gaps. I was tempted to buy more on the last big gap up, but puts were still pricey when the stock was knocking around $9 at $1.85. Currently features on my public stockchart list Bgt Dec 3rd Jan 06 puts $2.20 CIEN - got the perfect entry point, but probably should have bought Jun 05 instead of Jan 06 puts. There was only a 5c change in the bid/ask of the Jan 06 puts when the stock dropped 7% on the day. Currently features on my public stockchart list and is still considered a breakout , although the bearish flag breakdown put a dent in this move. Bgt Jan 3rd Jan 06 puts $0.45 AGP - The series of candlesticks with long upper shadows was to tempting to overlook after a big rally with little or no pullback. The put position remains vulnerable to a big one-day move on a news event. Stock splits on Jan 19th. Featured as a gold member short play Bgt Jan 5th Jun 05 puts $6.20.

I really liked the heavy volume buying spike and the close above resistance when I initially bought the stock, but things got a little sketchy when every Tom, Dick, and Harry decided to take profits. There may be opportunities to get back in at a lower price. Look to the 20-day moving average for support. Featured as a gold member play. Dec 7th: Bgt $9.06 Jan 4th: Sld $9.65

Keeping this one on the watch list. Played a tight buy and stop from the daily chart, although the weekly chart remains very favorable. Buys at $3.60 with a tight stop could be worth a shot although I think I will wait for a test of the 20-day moving average before delving in again. Featured as a breakout in September, and a gold member play following its pullback to support in December. Dec 31st: In at $3.71 Jan 4th: Out at $3.68

Mixed bag here. May have jumped the gun on selling my puts. I got a little worried on some afternoon buying so chickened out - concerned the small rally would turn into a bullish non-confirmation of the bearish flag breakdown. If the flag plays to form it should go down to $15.00. However, any short covering could trigger a push into the mid-$18s which would bring the buyers back. Features on my public stockchart list . Please vote for the list if you check the stock out. Comfort for the bears - the sequence of indecisive dojis beneath the eventual cross of the 20-day and 50-day moving averages suggests downside will resume very soon. Jan 3rd: Bgt Jan 06 puts $4.90 Jan 7th: Sld Jan 06 puts $5.10

Looking for a bounce somewhere around 2,054 (wrt to weekly chart). Maybe Monday will scare out longs who bought today thinking it was a bottom. It will be interesting to see how it plays out on my SUNW calls.

Quick trade from resistance to support after covering an initial call play (albeit too hastily given the entry at support). May give up more on Monday, but I am not willing to bet the house on it. Features on my public stockchart list . Call Jan 06 bgt Dec 14th $1.50 Call Jan 06 sld Jan 4th $1.45 Put Jan 06 bgt Jan 4th $1.40 Put Jan 06 sld Jan 7th $1.60 Will keep this on my watch list.

Took advantage of a bullish harami cross to buy some Jan 06 calls @ $0.70. Looking for a move back to prior congestion (c$1.00). Features on my public stockchart list . Note weekly support line.
