I've been trying to get through my scans this morning but I can't seem to pull myself away from the U.S. vs. Spain Olympic basketball game for long enough to get much done. I'll post the gappers sometime around 9:00 but the swing trades may have to stay as TBD today.
Luckily my shorts didn't move much yesterday, so I'm still holding all of them. A couple of my stops are real close to being hit though.
Here's an interesting note on Google:
08:55 GOOG Google started with Sell rating, $76 tgt at Janco Partners (106.00 )Janco notes strong fundamentals and favorable market trends, no near-term downside catalysts, but says valuation is too high, based on its discounted cash flow analysis. Firm notes Google needs to diversify rev. base beyond paid search (98% of revs in 1H) and become more of a portal, says any deceleration in paid search would immediately show in GOOG's performance.
And so it begins...
