Watchlist for October 4, 2004

There were some nice moves in two of the stocks on the list Friday — MRVL and TTWO. As I said in my last post, we’re now at a juncture where I wouldn’t initiate any longs, so I’ll just be holding on to what I have as I wait to see how the market handles the nearby resistance. You know I really don’t like these type of gaps — the ones that come after a strong move and go right into resistance (or support for a down leg and a gap down opening).

Currently holding:

Long – INFY, ISRG, URBN, WBSN

Short – none

Looking for swing trade entries in:

Longs – None

Shorts – IACI
