Watchers for the 4-4-12 trading session

FONR

New 52's. Short term, these yearly high stocks usually go higher. Consistently strong price action, like trading above the opening price level after the first 5 minutes, is a long. Or, if it gaps down a bit to debut or opens flat and falls briefly, a red to green and hold with strong volume. Also long on spiking up at or near the gun as a scalp. This might be an EOD exit, depending on how it holds up. Also long on a break above to new yearly highs (over 3.36) and holds. Avoid shorts/big gaps keep flat on true weakness. Volume modest Tuesday, a decent sign for new buys. Needs to keep above the Tuesday close or at least over 3.15 on pull backs to remain viable as a long, aside from any early noise. More conservatively, needs to stay over 3.25 if it triggers.


SIAF

Red floater scan return. Idea is to play for more, real down side on day 2. Ended unchanged on Tuesday via a gap up that closed below the open after a few up days. Stops just above 1.05 to cap losses on head fake fade entries. I'm only into the shorting possibility if it surfaces, keeping flat on strength. Also a short on heavy volume dumps/confirmed weakness cues. Fairly strong sell volume on Tuesday which means it may have tepid chances for shorts. Avoid all big gaps, especially large gap downs. No buys.


GNOM

B/O scan. I like it long back over 3.46 and holds. Ideal to stay over that on tests aside from early noise if it triggers. Stops also possible just under the close on Tuesday or the 1st 30 minute low of Wednesday. Avoid all shorts and all big gaps. The low on Tuesday is likely too far away to use for risk managing stops. Also a long on spiking up at or near the gun as a scalp. Modest volume on the rise, a decent sign for new buys. Exiting below 3.25 on fails after trigger entering might be prudent. Early r/g? 50 day SMA @ 3.36.


DZZ

Bullish Engulfing. I like this long over the high (4.78) of Tuesday. Moderately strong volume on the rise, which is a tepid sign for new buyers. Keep flat on real weakness aside from a typical red to green move, etc. Stops just under the low last time or the initial 30 minute one on Wednesday. More conservatively a stop placed under Tuesday's close, too. The low on that day is arguably not too far away to use for stops. Ideally stays above 4.70 on pull backs to remain viable as a long if it triggers. No big gaps/shorts. Down A/H a bit.


HEAT

I like this long above 5.50/holds. Continuation play. Also long on spiking up at or near the gun as a scalp. No shorts or big gaps. If it gaps over the trigger let it test/hold/perk 1st before entering. Down a tad A/H. As such, an early red to green long is still possible. Big buy volume Tuesday, a poor sign. Also long on consistent moves above the opening price level after the noise candle. Stops under 5 might do the trick. Low float.


VRNG

More, actual  down side possible Wednesday. Down A/H a little over 1%. Short on consistent moves under the open after the noise candle. Also short on panic dumps at any time, especially in the morning and afternoon. Likely a scalp fade in that case. No longs. Avoid big gaps. Low float, so on reversals get out.


POZN

I like this short on over extension on a gap and crap top fish or better a fall fail back under 7/holds. Avoid big gap downs. Also short on confirmed weakness cues or panic dumps at any time, possibly scalping. Could overtake 7 and keep going a bit. Might not be done yet. Possibly moves up early to challenge 7. Flat on that and any longs. Stops above today's high conservatively, or a bit above 7. No longs. No A/H quote.
