Footlocker ( FL) has been resting from a fall and waiting LONG
www.msn.com [/url ]
FL is here on a 30 -minute chart. It fell badly after good earnings 3 weeks ago and has been
resting in a narrow range for about half of that. A volatility squeeze released and some price
action with corresponding increase in relative volume resulted. FL has about 50% upside to
the price level before the last earnings. i am expecting a trade for 2-3 weeks realizing 50%
profit. The news catalyst cited in the link above of an upside of 25% in an upgrade has put
trader's eyes on this ticker. Mine are as well. It has reminded me to check on Nike.

SPWH has been on a YTD downtrend SHORTSPWH, a sports and recreational retailer had a bad week or two as seen on the 60-minute
chart. Reversion to the mean and the rubber-band perspective says that what goes down
must go up. SPWH has fallen into deep undervalued territory. It has been down trending for
most of this year. At the moment it might be correcting into a short trade or put option entry.
SPWH trend down might get synergy from the S & P helping entrench the trend down.
I will zoom into the 5-30 minute time frames and short SPWH from a pivot high. I may take
a large number of shares and then hedge the position with a couple of call options above the
current money with an expiration of 4-6 week for purposes of risk management and insurance
against a reversal in the price action.
