Intraday Updates:
- 09:22 From Briefing.com: Google: CNBC repeats that Pac Crest raised their tgt on GOOG to $500, matches high on Street
- 09:45 They're piling on GOOG today. Pacific Growth just raised their target to 500
- 09:47 Hmmm, seems like a lot of selling going on this morning
- 10:16 Surprisingly I'm not seeing much that I want to trade. A lot of the gappers got faded pretty hard and messed up my preferred setups. I'm also not seeing many stocks on my Nasdaq Gainers with Volume Surge scan. SO I continue to wait & watch
- 10:25 Uh, nevermind that last comment :-) I just jumped in a couple of longs as the Nasdaq took out the high of the day
- 10:28 Looks like PLAY is finally trying to join the AAPL party
- 11:20 That push to new intraday highs is looking like a false breakout now :-o
- 11:30 Nice move by REDF today
- 12:23 Ugh! The S&P is at a new 52 week high and I can't find anything to buy. The few longs I have are just sitting there :-(
Disclaimer & How I use this list
can you post the chart for X?
I doubt if I can do it during the day. Maybe if things slow down. What do you want to see, the daily, intraday?
