DrStool Posted May 17 Report Posted May 17 Pop and drop and stop. That's the way it goes. Now the question is whether we get a 3 day cycle low. With the hourly oscillators around neutral an upturn from this level would probably be a blastoff. However, by the same token, if they fold here, we could finally see a decent correction as a 4 or 5 day wave plays out into a hard down phase. Not much to go on yet, so we wait. Why Sell in May and Go Away In my personal daily swing trade stock screens today, I got 68 preliminary bullish trend structures and 32 bearish. That's a little less bullish than yesterday's readings. Today only 2 of the 68 buys triggered. 7 of the sells triggered. The numbers are too small to be meaningful, and I didn't see anything compelling. However, there was an interesting thread on the sell side- oil and gas. Hmmmm. Swing Trade Screen Picks – No Way!

Takachi-1 Posted May 17 Report Posted May 17 you gonna just leave us hanging on the sell side oil & gas?
DrStool Posted May 17 Author Report Posted May 17 Not much to say. Just a few sells and most were in oil and gas. Short term and maybe nothing.
Jimbo Posted May 17 Report Posted May 17 LEVERAGE FOR NOTHING AND STOCKS ON A SPREE Since 2008 when it was founded SPXL the Direxion 3 times daily leveraged S&P 500 index ETF has returned 25% per annum. When I think of the Medallion fund the "primus inter pares" and how it has made its great returns....... I think that most of it is probably due to...... "the same strategy as SPXL but with twice as much daily leverage". But it required a crazy bull market and free NIRP/ZIRP debt to do it!!!!!! This is of course is just a guess.
