1/27 Channels

  • ORCL, XOM promoted to bull position (XOM's confirmation is weak).
  • SDS promoted to bear position on weak confirmation.
  • Bull play SBUX stopped on Wednesday fall, but moves back above stop/loss level post-earnings today. But the adx declines. My verdict: "Sell! Sell! Sell!"
  • Bear plays ABX, GDX, SLW and YHOO stopped.
  • UAL, WDC pull back from near breakthrough on the bear side.
