Tuesday's Outcomes: TGT, USNA, VRSN

TGT fell immediately upon opening at $62.72 today and never headed close to that level again. I've opened a bear position. See my analysis, "TGT: Dueling chart interpretations", for details.

USNA fell below it's 10-day price channel, sending a signal to close the position. I had already rolled out of USNA and it was on the shelf at the time. I've updated my analysis, "USNA: Direct marketing bull play", with details and results.

VRSN fell below its 10-day price channel. It was on the Watchlist awaiting a chance at entry, but today's close signal means it's off the list. See the update to my analysis, "VRSN: Act 3 or curtain call?".

By preference I place my trades in the last half hour before the closing bell in New York. See my essay "When is the best time to trade" for a discussion of the practice.
