Watchlist for December 17, 2004

Well I already covered OSIP in the pre-market. I've taken it off my screen so that I'm not tempted to try to get my money back by going long it. I guess I'm due for one of these disasters every couple of years. I think this is the second time something like this has happened in 5 years. I was already not feeling like trading today because of options expiration and the fact that I'm still tired from last night. Now I'm really not feeling like doing anything today. I may just watch the first hour and call it a day.

Currently holding:


Long - AAPL, CME, FBR, FORM, MYGN, URBN

Short - ADI, covered OSIP in the pre-market

Looking for swing trade entries in:

Longs - CREAF

Shorts - JOSB, KOSP, RI, SCSS


Potential day trades:
