  No New Swing Shorts For Wednesday As The Market Is Still Not In A Confirmed Bear Market
By MauiTrader

3 out of 4 stocks follow the trend of the market. The trend is starting to change but before it does, IF IT DOES, it is going to get very choppy in the short term. With only two distribution days on the markets, there still needs to be a couple more distribution days before we are for sure this market is done. Nobody says a snap back rally can’t occur here. The best time to short most stocks, according to history, is a couple of months or more AFTER their top. There is still plenty of time to go short, if this is the start of a real bear market. I would not short here and since I know that emotions are high I am not even going to post short candidates as I do not recommend going short yet. If I change my mind, they will be listed below.

There are no new swing shorts tonight as the market is not yet in a confirmed clear downtrend.

These charts would be great shorts, if the market was in a downtrend:

  No New Swing Shorts For Friday As The Market Still Has Not Confirmed It Is Ready To Go Into A Long Solid Downtrend
By MauiTrader

This market still has some life in it. Even though I am declaring the bull market off the July/Aug lows over, I still am not convinced the market wants to start a solid downtrend yet. Until there are more distribution days on the indexes, it is still too early to operate on the short side. The greatest traders never forced trades when they were not certain about the market trend. Right now we are at that inflection point. We have to wait and see how the market responds to all of this wild and crazy action before I will feel comfy operating on the short side.

If this were a bear market, this is yet another chart I would love to be short. If you take a look at all the charts I have posted the past two weeks, in here, I think you will see the short side is doing well already. So you can imagine the power of these patterns in an all-out bear market.

  No New Swing Shorts For Monday; Four Stocks That Might Make Great Shorts
By MauiTrader

The market still has not failed a rally yet so I still don’t feel comfortable going short until the market shows me it has failed on the bull side.

“At other times, a topping market will recover for a couple of months and get back near or even above its old high before breaking down in earnest. This occurred in December 1976, January 1981, and January 1984. There’s an important psychological reason for this: The majority of people in the market can’t be exactly right at exactly the right time. In 1994, the Nasdaq didn’t top until weeks after the Dow did. A similar thing happened in early 2000.
“The majority in the stock market will be fooled first. This includes both professional and individual investors.”
-William O’Neil, “How To Make Money In Stocks”

Last year I jumped the gun and shorted way too many stocks early on in the breakdown. Even though the market went down, I did not do well on the short-side. The reason was that it was not a real bear market. It was just a downleg (May 2006-July 2006) in an overall bear market. You will see I did have some nice winners. Unfortunately, I had more losers that covered the wins. Hence, why I do not short unless we are in a real bear market.

However, if you are a bit more risk adverse than me, I will let you know that if this market was in a pure downtrend with constant rallies on low volume and heavy volume selloffs, there are four stocks I would love to be going short.

MDR

CIEN

AEM

CENX

For me, personally, it is still not the right time to be shorting stocks but so far most of the shorts I have offered up as nice chart patterns to short in bear markets are already working and working well in AHM and NDE.

Here are some charts that are clearly broken and if we were not down so far so fast I would love to short. I assume most of these will have low volume rallies offering secondary shorting points

TOT weekly

TMA weekly

SSL weekly

ABX on a low volume rally

WFC

CTAS

MVSN

CHL

OMG weekly

KSE daily

After further review I have decided to skip KSE as a good short. In fact, it is a horrible short. The beta is very very low, it pays out a 4.7% dividend, and on top of a 9-10% margin rate, you can forget about making any money on that one.

Just because I am not shorting now, it doesn't mean you can't. I am very disciplined. But if you are already ready to short, you can see everything is working out fine. OMG lost 4.37% today. On margin, you just made an overnight 8.5% gain.

If this was a clear bear market I would be going short these three stocks (clear bear market means 5 to 7 distribution days in past month and a failed low volume rally....like the one we are having now).

SHO weekly

ROK weekly

HMIN daily

If this was a clear bear market I would be going short this stock (clear bear market means 5 to 7 distribution days in past month and a failed low volume rally....like the one we are having now):

No new shorts for Monday and no new shortable patterns for Monday. The scans were dry.

There are no new swing shorts or new short chart patterns. The closest one I would want to take is CCU and that is not a proper LONG-TERM short pattern.

Those charts are now all destroyed.

17:59:47 [MauiTrader] i am going to the gym

one new swing short: RVBD

I am covering 25% of all my shorts taken this morning, except MTG. I did not get filled on SNY.

The market looks like it made a decent short-term low today and many of the shorts I just took look to be putting in some form of a "I am not ready to be shorted yet" signal.

These stock with the damage that they produced yesterday should have tanked today. The fact that they did not clearly tells me this market is still too young to short or go long.

Keep that cash heavy.

Short: GG GDP FITB MTG CNB GS WAG WB RVBD

one new swing short: PLCE

no new swing shorts

but there is a list to study of broken charts. Memorize these patterns as most are going to rollover and fall apart. Not all will, obviously, but the majority are not going to be moving much higher. That I can guarantee.

BBT WEN WFC MI AMP USG WMC SONC GPI JPM BOL FRE VRTX

did you like ARXT? :)

that is about as perfect as it could get.

New swing short: DIOD

New swing short: TNB

no new swing shorts for Thursday

No new swing shorts for Friday

no new swing shorts for Monday

JNJ is about ready to bight it hard

KBH and LEN show why bottom fishing just is not a wise game. More heavy volume distribution right at key moving averages. These stocks are still failing every rally.

No new swing shorts for Tuesday but there are some charts that are about ready to crack hard:

HLS AGP ACLI FFIV

If this market was falling like a brick and not rallying right here, these would all be great short candidates.

No new swing shorts for Wednesday

Stocks breaking down that would be great shorts if we were in a SOLID downtrend: ETH HOG MDT DD

no new swing shorts for Thursday but there are some stocks that are showing clear topping signs or are breaking down below key support or at key resistance:

RYL PPS ABFS TM

no new swing shorts for Friday as the market is still not showing any signs of wanting to crash yet.

there are some stocks that look ready for a fall (like RYL yesterday): PAYX ETFC KMX KIM

No new swing shorts for Monday as the market is starting to offer up a lot of pretty young speculative stocks to go long. Even though this market has NO quality stocks breaking out of fresh bases, and lower prices would seem to be expected the way the market is acting, it is still not time to short stocks. Why? Because there are still breakouts in the speculative crap. Big caps and speculative cheap-junk lead at the end. The uptrend isn’t over yet.

But if it was over and this was a clear bear market, these charts would be ripe for a perfect short: NVS IBN

no new swing shorts for Tuesday as the market is still holding above the March 14 lows and is technically still in a follow-through confirmation.

If this was a bear market, though, I would love to short these stocks, as these stocks have the classic patterns of a stock right before a big fall: COF WB FHN NCC

  No New Swing Shorts For Wednesday As The Market Has Finally Confirmed The March 21st Follow-Through
By MauiTrader

No new swing shorts as 3 out of 4 stocks follow the trend. As you can clearly see, the trend is up. The greatest traders of all time NEVER invested/traded against the trend. I do not either.

However, if this was a bull market there is one chart pattern that might tempt me to short it: TNS

No new swing shorts for Thursday as the market is in a clear uptrend; though it is a shitty uptrend.

no new swing shorts for Monday.

there are three stocks that would have made good to great shorts, if this market was in a clear distributing downtrend: ROK SAI ASCA

no new swing shorts for Tuesday.

no new swing shorts for Wednesday as the market is still in an uptrend following the follow-through day on March 21.

If this was a bear market, these stocks would make possible nice shorts: FR HPC WSO HWAY

no new swing shorts for Thursday

if this was a bear market, these stocks would make good to great shorts: HMC CBH NVS

no new swing shorts for Friday.

No new swing shorts for Monday as the market is in a rip-roaring speculative stage of this bull market. Not the best for growth investors as this is a risky market with more downside to worry about than upside. But the amount of speculative longs and some good CANSLIM longs showing up make this market unshortable.

If this were a bear market, CPS would make a good short.

No new swing shorts for Tuesday as the market is entering a very bullish speculative stage.

No new swing shorts for Wednesday as the market is still in a clear uptrend.

If this was a bear market, these stocks would make good shorts: AMTD FIC BMRN

No new swing shorts for Thursday.

There were no stocks out of the 31 in my short scan that would be considered good short candidates, if this was a bear market.

No new swing shorts for Friday.

There were three stocks that would make very good shorts, if this was a clear bear market: WCC NG NVLS

no new swing shorts for Monday

if this was a bear market, these stocks have set up in perfect short patterns: PXP AMR ZION SIRF

no new swing shorts as this insane uptrend (insane because we haven't had a real pullback in forever) keeps chugging along.

If this was a bear market, these stocks have setup good short patterns: FCS RGLD WBS AMR LCC

no new swing shorts for Wednesday as the market remains in an incredibly strong uptrend.

if this was a bear market, these stocks have setup good short patterns: HTCH BHE BRO LXK FWRD

no new swing shorts for Thursday as the market is in a very strong, speculative, and amazing uptrend.

If the indexes were in clear downtrends, I would love to short these stocks: ACLI CKFR CYMI

no new swing shorts for Friday.

if this was a clear bear market this stock would make a great short: MDG

no new swing shorts for Monday as the market is a bullish beast and should not be shorted.

if this was a bear market, these two stocks would make great shorts: AKAM ORI

Today was a distribution day but the market is still in an overall uptrend on all time frames except the very short-term.

The market is starting to offer more charts that are in clear perfect short opportunities. However, until the market is actually in a downtrend I find shorting a rising market too risky.

If this was a bear market, these stocks would make great shorts: RGLD FR BBV NOVN BRE ORI WAG AVB WU OHI LPX LHCG

No new swing shorts for Wednesday as the market is in a very strong uptrend.

There are more and more stocks showing up on my short scan. That tells me that this rally is getting long in the tooth. However, until we start trending down on 3 out of 4 time frames and we have more than four distribution days in four weeks, it is not smart to short.

If this was a bear market, these stocks would make great shorts: ECL RCII

No new swing shorts for Thursday

If this was a bear market, these two stocks would make good shorts: PG RCII

No new swing shorts for Friday

If this was a bear market, these two stocks would make great shorts: AEO LVS

No new swing shorts for Monday as the market is in the middle of one insane rally. The DJIA has closed green 26 out of the past 29 sessions. Why would you want to short that?

If this was a bear market, this stock would make an excellent short: BHS

No new swing shorts for Tuesday.

There is no use being a hero in a rising market. You only look like a fool. This is why the greatest traders of all-time never shorted a rising market. Shorts are getting KILLED here.

If this was a bear market, these stocks would make good shorts: DNA TWTC

No New Swing Shorts For Tuesday

The market is still in a clear uptrend that is taking no prisoners. Until the bears take control, shorting this market is down-right the wrong play.

If this was a bear market, these stocks would make good shorts: KFN LVS GFF NSR

No New Swing Shorts For Thursday As The Market Is In A Clear Uptrend.

If this was a bear market, VMED would make a decent swing short.

No New Swing Shorts For Friday.

The distribution days are starting to pile up, but there have only been TWO CLEAR DISTRIBUTION days in the NYSE and Nasdaq the past two months (4/30 and today). This along with the indexes still in intermediate uptrends and above the 50 dma clearly states that it is too early to short. The trend is your friend and all the greatest traders of all-time NEVER bet against the general trend of the market.

If this was a bear market, these three stocks would make good shorts: AU DIGE ALNY

No New Swing Shorts For Monday

There are no new swing shorts for Monday as the market is in an incredible uptrend and all the big money is being made on the long side.

If this was a bear market, HIBB would make a good short.

no new swing shorts for Tuesday.

if this was a bear market IRF would make a good short.

There is no doubt things are starting to look and get rough out there.

I still am not shorting the market as it is not in a confirmed downtrend with multiple distribution days. But the distribution days are piling up a few more and a downtrend will get me bearish on this market.

Another interesting item today is the amount of short candidates in good short positions in my scans. Like I said, I am not going short yet, but if this market was in a downtrend I would short all of these charts: BDY LII AVB PHLY AVA DHR. I would also want to go short HCN and EXR but if you go short these stocks you must see a follow-through to the downside immediately as they both yield dividends over 5%. As a general rule, do NOT short stocks that pay a dividend yield over 5%.

No new swing shorts for Thursday.

As you can see by today's action, shorting a market before it is ready to fall can prove hazardous to your account.

If this was a bear market, LTD would make a good short.

No New Swing Shorts For Friday

The market still has NO interest in moving down, no matter how many technical indicators say that we should. Shorting this market is a fools game and I do not recommend trying to be a hero.

If this was a bear market, VTR would make a good short.

No New Swing Shorts For Monday

The market is still moving higher and there are still a lot more stocks moving higher than stocks moving lower. Though negative divergences are showing up in breadth and new highs, until the market rolls over, it is nothing to act on. Price determines everything and prices are moving higher.

If this was a bear market, FTBK would make a good short.

No new swing shorts for Tuesday.

The market is still in a very strong uptrend and now breadth seems to be catching back up so shorting is still the losing game here.

If this was a bear market, NVS would make a great short.

No new swing shorts for Wednesday as the market is in one spectacular yet exhausting rally.

If this was a bear market, FDX and CSE would make good shorts.

  No New Swing Shorts For Thursday
By MauiTrader

The market is showing signs of cracking but that is no reason to rush to short a market that doesn’t want to seem to ever stay down. When it is time to short, trust me, I will be shorting. Now is not the time. We need a real downtrend, the indexes below the 50 dma, and more than 4 clear days of distribution. We do not have this yet.

If this was a bear market, PNW and CTSH would make good shorts.

No New Swing Shorts For Friday

This market is now starting to show real signs of cracking with the Nasdaq having 6 distribution days in the past four weeks but the market is still in an uptrend so shorting here is still not the right play. The best time to short is MONTHS AFTER A TOP. This is history. THIS IS NOT MY OPINION.

If this was a bear market, GGG ADM SPLS KMX TZOO would all make good shorts.

No New Swing Shorts For Tuesday

Nothing appeared in the scan that would be considered a good short in a bear market.

no new swing shorts for Wednesday as the market is still in a very powerful uptrend.

if this was a bear market, CHT STP and HIBB would make good shorts.

There are no new swing shorts and there were no shorts in my scan that would make good shorts if this was a bear market.

Only the “geniuses” are shorting here. And these morons have been doing this all year long. It is the wrong play and only the amateurs play this game. The greatest traders of all-time NEVER shorted a rising market. And you better believe you shouldn’t either.

  No New Swing Shorts For Friday As The Market Keeps Hitting All-Time Highs With NO Pullbacks To Speak Of

I don’t know how many times I can say the same thing over and over.

If this was a bear market, WB would make a good short here.

Are you kidding me?

I can not even find good short patterns in my short scans.

This market is the most consistent bullish tape I have ever seen since I started investing/trading in 1996.

There is no way anyone in their right mind should be shorting here.

If this was a bear market, WGO and UAUA would make good shorts. Remember, though, we are not in a bear market.

No New Swing Shorts For Wednesday

If this was a bear market, FLML would make a good short. But this is no where near a bear market so avoid going short anything in this insane uptrend. The trend is always your friend and the greatest traders of all-time NEVER bet against the general trend of the market.

No new swing shorts for Thursday.

The market is still in a solid uptrend and even though today was bad it wasn't that bad. All indexes are still above their 50 dma and all are in solid uptrends. You do not short stocks when all the indexes are in uptrends. Today's selling wasn't even a distribution day on the Nasdaq.

There weren't even any shorts in my scan that would be considered good shorts in a bear market.

No New Swing Shorts For Friday But If You Want To Take Some Be My Guest.

The trend isn't down in enough time frames for me to want to start shorting. Normally, I like to short the leaders like GOOG and AAPL when the market rolls over. But it is obvious the market is very weak here and there are some juicy charts out there ripe for a short. The only caveat is that you better hope the markets keep selling off or you are going to be in for a painful short squeeze. I ALWAYS wait until weeks to months after a market top to short because history shows that is when the old leaders really start to selloff. We are only in a short-term downtrend, so the overall headwinds is still for sideline cash to buy the dips. Until we fail the old highs and roll over below the 50 dma, there is no reason to be shorting here, imo.

If this was a bear market in a nasty downtrend with lower highs and lower lows, ECL FO WB IDCC ERIC would make great shorts.

There weren't any charts in my 'shorts scan' that would have been good shorts in a bear market. Friday's rally shows why not being patient and shorting early is not a smart way to actively invest.

no new swing shorts for tuesday.

there were no shorts in the scan that would be considered good shorts in a bear market.

But the market is under severe pressure now as the distribution days are now really stacking up. The indexes are still above their 50 dma's and as long as they hold those lines it is not the time to short.

However, if we were already in a downtrend, R PBI BSC HMC SHO would make good shorts.

Today’s action is exactly why I do not short a market that is in an uptrend on a long-term, intermediate, and sub-intermediate time frame and is above its 50 dma. It is a lot smarter and wiser to not be a top caller and actually wait for the trend to be down before shorting. A lot of people, once again, sold longs for the sake of being fearful. It cost them today.

This market is still in a clear uptrend and the only people shorting this market right now are the uninformed, arrogant, and just plain stupid traders. The GREATEST TRADERS OF ALL-TIME NEVER BET AGAINST THE TREND. All trends are up so there should be absolutely NO shorting. The money is being made in the longs now. The daytraders that I observe all day long shorting this breakout and that breakout are either losing money or if they get it right they get maybe a 3% to 5% move. Considering how many longs I am holding that are up over 100%, it should be clear to others that the ignorant and wrong play right now is shorting stocks.

There are no shorts in my scan that would make good shorts even if we were in a bear market.

Do you see why trying to guess tops and why shorting a rising market is the play of stupid arrogant egotistical individuals. History has shown these fools OVER and OVER that this is the wrong play. Yet, they keep on doing it. That is why the NYSE short interest ratio is near all-time highs. They simply have to try to outsmart the market. There is no reason to be short here, unless you hate GWB or are a depressed waste of space. The time to short will come....it definitely is not now. Especially, in the face of one of the strongest runs of economic growth EVER!!!

If this was a bear market, TRID QSII and DCI would make great shorts.

With NYSE short interest ratio near all-time highs, the market in a clear uptrend hitting all-time highs/six-year highs, and with 70% of the ignorant-to-the-facts public thinking we are in a recession, you better believe it is NOT the time to be shorting stocks.

Heck, I can not even find good short setups out there that would make for great shorts in a bear market.

No New Short Positions For Thursday

The market sold-off hard today but the volume on the Nasdaq was below the 50 day volume average, the NYSE volume was barely above that line, both indexes are still above the 50 day moving averages, the put/call ratio jumped to .9, most leading stock show no signs of severe selling, and I saw TONS of people top call today's selling. So I would not get to freaked out about today's action. Until we are below the 50 dma and I have stocks breaking down everywhere, I continue to believe via the facts/stats that are available to me that stocks should continue higher. It isn't going to be a nice smooth uptrend anymore. That is obvious. With this being summer, a very choppy few months are to be expected. I just don't see any major top happening when 70% of the misinformed public believe we are in a recession. Markets don't top with that much pessimism.

If this was a bear market, PFE UNH BSC MCO and WU would make very good shorts.

Do you see why it is not smart to be short at this stage of the bull market. We could easily squeeze 20% higher from here. Don't believe the LIES the media feeds you about the economy. It isn't true. The shorts and perma-bears are only making this all the more easier a wall-of-worry to climb.

There is still way too much bearishness out there for me to even think of getting nervous about the current market. There are problems, but there are still so many stocks that are acting perfectly like the market is still in an uptrend. However, until we start seeing severe breakdowns in leading stocks, there is nothing to fear but fear itself.

If this was a bear market, TWPG would make a good short.

The market is starting to show signs of cracking, despite leading stocks still holding very well. If the market falls further, rallies on lower volume to the 50 dma, and then sells off again on higher volume, you will definitely want to get more cautious. If that is the case we may be able to start probing some shorts. But it is still way too early to be getting too excited on the short side. There are still plenty of stocks making very large overnight gains (short killers) that make shorting this market still not the right play as we are still too early.

Today's market clearly shows you why shorting before a top has clearly been established in the market is a fools game. When you still see stocks moving like VMSI yesterday and GTRC and SRDX today, that is your clear tell that this market is not for shorting. Shorting ANYTHING before a top in the indexes have clearly been established is simply an ignorant play by an uneducated investor/trader.

There were no stocks that would make good shorts, even if this was a bear market.

If you saw RIMM, after-hours today, you should understand why we are not shorting this market. This market still has way too many stocks in clear beautiful uptrends and for the second day in a row, out of over 200 stocks in my portfolios, NONE are giving me a complete sell signal. You do not have this kind of action in a market where shorting is the right play. Trust me, AFTER the market tops, we will have plenty of opportunities to make money on the short side. Right now, the right side is the bull side. Just ask those long RIMM INNO or CRNT.

no new short positions for wednesday but it is apparent that all my short recommendations are working so the market is probably setting itself up for a possible downtrend. however i do not recommend going short until after the market has clearly topped. something tells me the crowd is too bearish right now for us to top. the put/call even surged to 1.16 at the close.
