Watchlist for August 24, 2004

Once again I'm overloaded with shorts. A few groups look particularly weak -- oil, drugs and various health care related stocks. The market's set to gap up today, apparently on the back of lower oil prices, so many of these shorts may not trigger.

Currently holding:


Long - None

Short - DVA, MOGN

Looking for swing trade entries in:

Longs - CNCT

Shorts - AAP, ADI, AVID, CDWC, CHKP, CVC, DIGE, DIS, DOX, DRIV, DVA, MOGN, SFA, TBL
