1/28 Watchlist

Note: I'll be reworking the Watchlist over the weekend. Look for an altered line-up on Monday.

  • Earnings plays:
    • CRUS, DECK rise to neutrality.
    • TSM to bear phase
  • Other bull plays:
    • PAYX to neutrality on signal divergence.
  • Diversification plays:
    • Russia falls to neutrality (RSX).
  • Wounded birds:
    • NLY to bull phase (but it has been whipsawing like crazy).

Below, earnings plays, other bull plays, bear plays, diversification plays and the futures file.

My holdings are marked with an asterisk (*). Signal dates are the first day of week in which the signal appeared. Slow trade holdings are listed separately, at the ending of this posting.

About the categories:
  • Earnings plays: I think these are likely to rise sharply on a real or anticipated earnings surprise.
  • Other bull plays: I think these are more likely to rise than fall; excludes earnings plays.
  • Bear plays: I think these are more likely to fall than rise.
  • Diversification plays: These don’t closely track the U.S. markets or are based on currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
  • Wounded birds: Stocks I find fascinating but they each have an apparently fatal flaw.
  • Zombies: These are failed leftovers from what seemed to be good ideas at the time. They stalk the Watchlist like zombies, tying up resources and frightening small children.



Table Abbreviations:
