Break Man Video Summary:

Break out buy (or short sell) watch list for short term gains November 29 includes: DECK, MORN, NTRS, PPH, PCLN, STT, ARTE, BXB, DCTH, FFHL, ALTR.

Several candidates for break out or short sell  plays for at least short term gains by buying the break out (or selling the break down) on good volume and closing at least some on the  first day.

Swing Man Market Recap:

Stocks gapped higher at the open Wednesday after the Vice Chairman of the Federal Reserve Kohn suggested the rates will not be going up anytime soon and that banks should be more accommodative in their lending practices.  Within the first few minutes of trading the SPX rallied past pivot resistance at 1438 (thus breaking our downtrend line) and proceeded higher.  By 1:30 the SPX challenged the next pivot resistance point at 1462, consolidated, and then moved higher again to close at 1469.  The market put on quite performance Wednesday, and was led by the much ballyhooed financial sector which gained nearly 6%.  At the close the SPX/DOW gained 2.7% while the NDX/NAZ added even more by rising 3.1%.  The small caps as measured by the Russell 2000 Index were the biggest winners on the day as they climbed 3.6%.  As a result of the recent rally, short term momentum is now extremely overbought.  Today´s advance displayed many characteristics of a potentially sustainable advance as the move up was completely broad based with all sectors performing well.  This happens to be the first time all month that the market advanced for two consecutive days.

Over the last few days, I have continually stressed the fact that the 60 minute charts of all the major indexes had formed bullish falling wedge patterns that were accompanied by positive divergence.  Today´s massive rally was a result of those positive divergences playing out.  Once the downtrend lines on those 60 minute charts were taken out, the market exploded higher as the bears were frantically rushing to cover their short positions.  Folks, these types of patterns and technical indicators are very significant and should never be ignored.  The big money players will often take things right to the edge which allows them to shake out those last few weak hands.  I must say they did a mighty fine job of riling investor´s emotions over the past few days.  The key to this game is to keep a level head and trust what the charts and technicals are portraying.  Learn to ignore the noise and focus on the facts at hand – then be prepared to act accordingly.

Simply put, Wednesday´s action was superb.  Throughout the trading session there were virtually no pull backs and whenever the market encountered the slightest bit of selling, as we saw during the last hour, the bulls roared back to the table and bought up stocks.  We closed with huge gains across virtually all sectors that were confirmed by spectacular internal readings.   Advancing stocks swamped declining stocks by a ratio of 29/4 on the NYSE and 24/7 on the NASDAQ.  In addition, up versus down volume was a whopping 94% to 6% on the NYSE and 88% to 12% on the NASDAQ.  New lows decreased dramatically while new highs increased somewhat.  As I alluded to above, today´s action suggests that a potential near term bottom may now be in place and that the market may indeed have its customary year end rally.  Please be aware that a lot of work remains to be done but today was surely a good potential start at accomplishing the task.  The key will be how the next pullback unfolds in regards to both price and the oscillators.  Currently, I´m looking for the SPX to test the 1490 level (see chart below) over the coming days where there is a great deal of resistance.  Be prepared for a potential pullback off this area which will need to be examined closely.  If the pullback is deemed to be reflexive (weak) and the oscillators hold up well, it will be a great opportunity to position more aggressively into long positions.  Remember there are no guarantees this will play out so let´s see what the market decides in the days ahead.

Good Trading.


   CNBC Fast Money Review

1. BEST DAY FOR DOW THIS YEAR

The headline: Biggest 2-Day Rally In 5 Years...

Tim Seymour says I think it was all about the Fed and liquidity. A lot of the assets that were sold-off recently get a boost from lower rates. But I´m not convinced we´re out of the woods. Wait for the Fed on Dec. 11th, he counsels.
Pete Najarian echoes don´t chase this market. It could pull back.

2. BANKS SHARES ROAR BACK

The headline: Banks Bounce Back On Rising Hopes For Rate Cuts, Mergers, More Capital Infusions.

Karen Finerman says news came out of WFC and FRE that could have dragged down the financials, but didn´t. That suggests to her this could be the bottom. She adds Barclay´s and Citigroup look interesting to her on Wednesday´s action.
Guy Adami recommends looking at two stocks he considers best of breed; USB and GS.
Pete Najarian prefers FNM.

3. OIL UNDER $91

The headline: Crude Oil Continues Slide, Slipping 4% To $90.62; Oil Falls On Better-Than-Expected Supply Picture.

Guy Adami says it´s as simple as the dollar, which is leveling off. I think the trade might be get long the dollar and shorting oil and gold.
Tim Seymour doesn´t think oil will back-off, too much.
Pete Najarian likes the very large shippers of crude such as NAT. However, he thinks the better trade is solar and recommends SPWR, STP and CY in the space.

4.  TECHNOLOGY NAMES EXPLODE

The headline: Technology stocks extended their gains Wednesday as the Nasdaq Composite Index rallied more than 1%.

Pete Najarian says without pressure to take profits in tech, stocks such as GOOG, RIMM and AAPL will likely move higher.
Guy Adami feels INTC was unfairly “beaten-up’ with the tape and he likes this stock and other chips at current levels.
Karen Finerman prefers the EMC stub, which involves owning EMC and shorting VMW.
Pete Najarian says picking up on, “Investors could also go long EMC and buying EMC downside puts,’

 5. MY CART RUNNETH OVER

The headline: Online Retailers Surge After 'Cyber Monday' Sets Single-Day Online Retail Sales Record.

Guy Adami likes MA for transaction volume.
Pete Najarian thinks EBAY has the most upside potential. He´s not as enthusiastic about AMZN, which he says is near its 52-week high.

6. WE'RE IN YOUR HANDS BEN

Expect to hear more from Ben Bernanke, Thursday evening as he speaks at an event in Charlotte, North Carolina. Will he keep the rate-cut dream alive?

Tim Seymour says the last time he spoke, Bernanke suggested the risks were balanced between growth an inflation. The Street will be listening closely.
Guy Adami thinks Bernanke has to back up comments made by Fed Vice Chairman Donald Kohn who said Wednesday "Uncertainties about the economic outlook are unusually high right now… "These uncertainties require flexible and pragmatic policy-making -- nimble is the adjective I used a few weeks ago."
Adami says if they´re not speaking with a common voice, there´s a bigger problem.
Pete Najarian doesn´t ever recommend trading a Fed official.

7. DELL EARNINGS

DELL reports earnings after the bell, Thursday. That leaves you one day to make your move. What is it?

Guy Adami expects to hear positive news from Dell and recommends owning this stock ahead of earnings. In addition, he anticipates Dell stock could have a 30-handle.
Tim Seymour adds that 25% of Dell revenue comes from international sales. He suggests Dell has plenty of room to grow.

8. POPS AND DROPS

AN popped 7%: Finerman says it was a big day for anything related to retail.
ADI popped 3%: Adami doesn´t like this stock on a valuation basis.
LOW popped 6%: Finerman says it could be a dead cat bounce.
AYI popped 7%: Adami likes this stock
PLCE popped 9%: Finerman says she likes the stock and she´s long.
SDS dropped 6%: Seymour said technicals suggest the SDS could trade lower – meaning the S&P could go higher.
PBY dropped 16%: Seymour says it´s not a good story.

9. YOUR FIRST MOVE FOR THURSDAY

Seymour recommends SWC as a platinum play, which has not yet participated in the market rally.
Guy Adami likes X on reports that steel inventories are at their lowest levels in a decade.
Karen Finerman prefers PZN as a value play.
Pete Najarian says ISIS is a buy as a possible takeover target.
