Watchlist for August 31, 2004

Another low volume affair yesterday. The selling has created stochastic sell signals on the major indices on my charts. It’s tough for me to get motivated to do much given the low volume, so I continue to just sit on my current positions.

Currently holding:

Long – None

Short – ADI, MOGN, SFA

Looking for swing trade entries in:

Longs – DITC, DKS, VIP

Shorts – ANN, CEPH, CHKP, CRL, CYMI, DIGE, DLTR, DRIV, HEW, ISIL, MSTR, NATI, OSTK, STK, TXN, WFMI
