Watchers for the 11-26-12 trading session

CLSN

Red floater scan return. Idea is to play for more, real down side on day 2. Closed up on Friday over 3.5% off a gap up that ended below the debut. Stop above the Friday session high (6.70) to cap losses on head fake fade entries. More conservatively, stop above the close on Friday if it starts off net negative. I'm only into the shorting possibility if it surfaces, keeping flat on strength. Also a short on heavy volume dumps/confirmed weakness cues. Moderate buy volume on Friday means it might have average chances to work. A 6.54 fail would be ideal. Down a hair A/H. Avoid all big gaps/longs. Gate dump?


MCP

B/O scan. I like it long back over 8.68 and holds. Ideal to stay over that on tests aside from early noise if it triggers. Stops also possible just under the close on Friday or the 1st 30 minute low of Monday. Avoid all shorts and all big gaps. The low on Friday is too far away to use for risk managing stops. Also a long on spiking up at or near the gun as a scalp. Moderate volume on the rise, a tepid sign for new buys. No A/H quote. Exiting below 2.57 on fails after trigger entry is advisable. Early r/g buy?


WHX

Bullish Engulfing. I like this long over 5.44/holds. Low volume on the rise, which is a fair 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 Monday. More conservatively a stop placed under Friday's close, too. The low on that day is not too far away to use for stops. Ideally stays above 5.28 on pull backs to remain viable as a long if it triggers. No big gaps or shorts. No A/H quote. Could use more volume on the buy side, frankly.


CCCL

In play both ways. I like this long over 2.50 and short on a fall fail back under 2.50 or a rebuffed attempt. Could use a bit less volume. Avoid all big gaps. The easiest play will be a flat or nominally up/down debut that challenges 2.50 successfully, and overtakes the trigger price. Or the same with a ceiling at 2.50 Any gap over 2.50 needs to be played carefully. If it's just over, and holds on a test and perks off, longs are in play. If it does not hold the floor, a short is. As usual, heavy volume spikes up or down are scalp bait with discretion.


UVE

Almost 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 4.22) and holds. Avoid shorts, keep flat on true weakness. Nice move above 4.15. Needs to keep above the Friday close, or at least above 4.15 on pull backs to remain viable as a long, aside from any early noise. Could use more buy volume.


BRKR

Hammer scan short. The tail is arguably not too long to use the low as a stop level unless the position is big  sized. Can use a bit over Friday's close for risk control. Trigger is below the low of last time, here under 14.49/holds. Avoid all big gaps, especially down ones. No A/H quote. If it gaps under the trigger let it test/hold/fall from there 1st before entering. No longs. The idea is to play for a 14.50 fail as the floor. Stop above Friday's high if more aggressive or 14.93 at most.


BGMD

Bottoming out, hopefully. I like this long back over 1.58/holds. No shorts. No A/H quote. If it gaps over the trigger let it test/hold/perk 1st before entry. Stops under 1.50ish. Scalp buy on spike ups at or near the gun. Avoid all big gaps. Interesting volume the past few sessions.
