Watchlist for 3/12 - Spring Forward!

$GMCR (Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc.) Nice movement on this one Friday, but pretty much stayed in a tight range for most of the day after the initial morning pop. Gapped down due to $SBUX announcement that their getting into the single cup o' coffee biz. If $52 support holds/consolidates I'll be tempted to go long, but I'm more interested in a short under $52. Wait for crack and hold for a test of atleast $50.





$QCOR (Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) Showing some weakness on the charts. Tested $35 support on Friday a couple of times. Looking for this to crack below $35, hold for the short to $30 level.





$VVUS (VIVUS Inc.) Fading nicely on daily after the gap up, run to $25. Coming back down to retest a $20 support level. Watching for drop below, hold, and short. If $20 area holds and consolidates, I'll be tempted to long scalp this one.



$MCP (Molycorp, Inc.) Nice pop on Friday after news that they agreed to acquire fellow rare-earth company Neo Material Technologies Inc. for $1.31B in cash and stock. Ran up over and supported $30 support/resistance level. If it holds, will long for continuation. If it fails to hold, watch for resistance at $30 for short.





$SBUX (Starbucks Corporation) Up at all-time highs after unveiling a single cup coffee maker that will rival $GMCR's Keurig unit. Doji on daily. $52.50 (r) on Friday and some support at $51. If it fades, will watch for a failure at $51 for the short. Otherwise if it continues to rip, I'll keep away. I suck at playing all-time highs. Always jump in at the wrong time, lol.



$DNDN (Dendreon Corp.) Recovered quickly from this gap down on Thursday. Friday held the $10 support level. Will watch for it to continute to hold for long entry. If it fails and resists $10, will think about shoring for possible pullback to $9.





$DECK (Deckers Outdoor Corp.) Selling nicely the past week or so and last 2 days perked up nicely. Looking for the $68 level to hold for long to $70 (r) area. If we gap up, watch for break and hold at $70 for long entry.



$TXN (Texas Instruments Inc.) Holding this $32 longer term support level very well. Tight 50 cent range on Friday $32-$32.50. Ideally would like to see $32 fail and hold below for the short. Has also show quite a bit of resistance at this level in the past which then faded to $28. Not great range on this one, but worth keeping an eye on.

Watchlist for 1/31/2012

$AMLN - $13.80/$14 supp lvls. $14.50ish resistance. Positive reaction to FDA approval. Long biased on $14 hold or any sign of support at the $14 and $14.50 levels.



$RSH - $8 area of interest. Negative reaction to lowered guidance/announced preliminary 4Q results. Looking for some support/consolidation in the $8 level.



$ALGN - $23/$23.50 support lvls. $24 resistance. Beat Q4 est, but Q1 guidance below streets est. Waiting for selling to settle, long off support/consolidation. Possibly at $22.50-$23 area.



$RVBD - $23/$24 support lvls. $24/$26 resistance. Gapped down friday on earnings. Stayed in flat/tight range today just under $24 level. Long on hold of $24 for a possible run to $24.50s-$25.



$EMN - $50 support. $50/$51/$52 resistance lvls. Gapped up on earnings and news of SOA acquisition. Long if $50 holds. Short if it failes to hold $50 level.


$INFA - $42/$43 support. $43.50 intraday resistance. Pos reaction to earnings friday followed by a flat day today. Looking for this to sell to the $42 level for a possible rebound off support.



$SNDK - $46 support. $46.50/$48 resistance. Down on earnings followed by a flat day today. Looks to be supporting $46. Long biased on any hold of support especially at the $46 level. Could easily push to $47-$48 areas.



$VPRT - $35/$36 support. $38 resistance. Huge run today on increased volume. Long any show of support for a push to $40 level. Will play short side if this resists and fails to break $40.

Solid Setups with Great Risk/Reward

Some of these setups are from January 3, 2012 and others from October to December of 2011. Most of these I took myself, but others were setups I saw and called out in the chatroom, but either missed or did not take.

These are very simple and basic support/resistance plays. Very easy to learn and very easy to find.
