..why we here today

...with FTSE, DAX, HANG, TSX all on holidays??... Guess we're here tracking Santa's historical path of possibly bringing that overblown post Xmas-to New year rally!.   Fortunately, if you've 'not' been sitting on your hands, you shouldn't care too much about the next few days or need to be foolish in and get ( buy) something else you don't need for Xmas.  We've already had a rally in the stocks closely followed here the past week or so.   Monday was no exception.  Wouldn't it be great if all trading days would be 3.5 hrs long, major indices doing a +99/+21/+12 and your stocks running on all cylinders!.  Guess if that was the case, we'd all still believe in Santa Claus!.   Let's get on to the 'Stocking Stuffers' that might've made that hideous Cosby sweater you got Christmas morning look not so bad after all!

Solars..SPWR FSLR STP JASO....SOLF CSIQ  LDK...This is not 6 geese a laying, this is 9 ladies a dancing!.  Following LDK margin shrinking report it was noted we'd be looking for a dip if it happened in this sector to do some possible buying.  Hardly any dipped and instead just coattailed first out the door on RIMM's big day .   This group did not disappoint Friday or Monday as set ups, NCH were abundant.  Clearly this is where we want to stay and ignore the suffering in the groups like shippers, china stocks.  Now..if the hedgies want to pump their book for this end of the year Q, we just might see another sector wake up..so keep eyes a movin'.

Russian stocks...VIP MBT WBD, this group has followed our blueprint here for the past week and more.  The GLDN deal has been a definite positive for VIP's share price (37's-45) as we thought, not often you see the acquirer get such a reaction and we think this can go further. Low 50's, but not after a pullback of small sorts as the last 3 days have left it a bit extended.   MBT, we were 'eyeing it back to recent highs' and we got that as it hit $100 Monday.  Again, we'd use any pullback as a possible buy in.   If the volume comes in this, we'd saddle up as the chart looks very good.  WBD has been in a tight narrow range and with a little volume could spark again with another move upwards.  The float, spreads are ideal for a low volume move in Xmas trading week.

APEI, LRN, N... last week we said these may be ideal for light trading days ahead.  A sign of it was present in APEI as about 60K pushed it to a NCH with 4 pts in tow.   We will continue to keep focused on these IPO's.  

Due to these IPOs stellar opening days, a sentiment change in the markets make for a perfect combo and so we have our eyes set on "N" , Netsuite.   If the market tone continues to stay this way, it makes the possibility of N performing well greater.  This new issue has some color!.   It did a Dutch auction for pricing the stock which might have kept the flippers of a quick buck away.   It also has color because of the money behind it in ORCL's Larry Ellison and a management team of former ORCL heads.  This brings in interest from more traders or just investors with a fondness for ORCL or tech.  If you're a Baseball junkie, you'll like or actually maybe not like that Oakland A's Billy Beane is there on the BOD to crunch the numbers and use their software..lol.  The market cap might be big, but with the available float as it stands now make it interesting in the short term.  It just seems sexy, especially following VMW success. We'll see...

Santa showed up...

The so called Christmas rally or the Santa Claus rally has been something of a mixed bag in the past.   There were years we just wished the Christmas season would last longer and there was last year which we all would like to forget.   This year, Santa is back to give us traders something to remember as of now.    This of course, is probably due to the fact that we had a very very tough fourth quarter coming into the Christmas holiday.     All of the problems we have had to endure as traders during the last while, from credit crunch, housing bubble and recession worry are being put behind this last few days of the year.    Put it this way, we won't deal with it until the new year.    It is about time that we can end this year in a rather peaceful way.

If it's peace you want, then you are glad to know that major indices have held up well and many big cap stocks have either inched up or stayed unchanged, in a non volatile way.    If you are like us who like to take advantage of this opportunistic time, then the only thing you'd be doing on a boxing day is buying and selling hot stocks online.     People, if you are serious in trading like us, then you would've tied yourself to your chair during the last few trading days.     These past few trading days have produced some of the best action since early October.    And if you were hurt by the downturn in the late November period, then now is the perfect time to get some respect back from this market.

Basically we are about half way over this holiday trading and we'd imagine most traders would be back in force after Jan 1st.    This gives us another 2 1/2 holiday trading days to do our thing.     Right now, we are playing stuff that are currently in play.    It is crucial that we stick to that theme for the next few days.

Solars, 2007 is the year of the solars and we think we'll carry some good momentum into the new year as well.    Today's action seemed to be spreading all over the smaller and less established solar players which include SOLF CSIQ CSUN ESLR CTDC etc., while the bigger names seemed to pause to catch some breath, with the exception of FSLR.      Yup, we are playing just about every single one of those smaller names today and we'd continue to play until the momentum stops.    Keep in mind, many if not most of those less established solar names are still not proven in terms of earning track record.    When some of these names reverse, it is crucial that you don't buy the dip thinking all solars are created equal and have awesome earnings growth.     Buying dips on plays like FSLR STP JASO SPWR... have good probability that they will come back in a hurry.   Buying dips on the smaller ones may get you into a situation that you'd lose another 30% before even seeing an uptick.   Bottom line, you have to know what you are playing distinguish the type of plays among solar names.

MELI, then there's this one!   If you cashed out last time after Cramer's mention, then today's the day to get it back.    We alerted early in the morning that it looked promising but we did not imagine it'd pull a move anywhere close to 20% today.    This one, unfortunately we have to agree with Cramer for once, has the marking of being a monster.     Yes, it can definitely go into triple digit based on what we have seen with other similar type of stocks.

Bottom line, there's no need to go nuts with all of the hot plays out there and just trade the ones you are most comfortable with.   Stay focused and stay clear headed, and we may just finish this year on a high note.
