Watchlist for November 9, 2004

No swing picks for today since I won’t be initiating any swing positions before the Fed decision tomorrow afternoon. I’m trying to hold on to the positions I currently have, so I haven’t been tightening my stops like I usually would.

Currently holding:

Long – PLMO, RSAS, WBSN

Short – BOL

Looking for swing trade entries in:

Longs – None

Shorts – None
