4/8 Morningline: Holdings

My holdings are in the main trading within yesterday's range.

The exception is HPQ, which opened below yesterday's close and is showing a bear signal on the Parabolic SAR, with both the macd and stochastic deteriorating.

The change came after three days in bull phase, and before that, two in bear phase. We're talking major whipsaws.

Time to flee?

My April MCO covered call holding is trading right at the exercise price.

PALM, a zombie left over from a failed covered call, is trading at the top of yesterday's sharp rise on rumors of a possible takeover bid from Lenovo.
