Morning folks…futures are gapping down just slightly .23% or so. Commodities still strong. OIL and Gas holding up both gapping up .5% or so. Yesterdays action was nice. Its not the best day to trade as teh gap up left us with little upside but we still managed to eke out some good trades and also to raise a bit of cash for new trades. The market is in a shorterm uptrend. The dips in the market are getting bought. Our “tell” was teh gdp day. We gapped down and instead of rolling over traders bought the dip. If i were to guess I think that might happen till at least friday when the jobs report comes out. So today that will be my mentaility. If we gap down…Im going to be buying stocks.
$solf reported knockout earnings. The chart has broken out premarket. This might be a good play if it can dip in the low 11s. Earnings were pretty good for a solar company especially a chinese solar company. A couple years ago SOLF was the red heated step child of the chinese solars

This could cut loose some of the other solars
CSUN a break of 4.55 or so should set it off.
LDK looking good in that 6.8-7.00 range with stop under support
Ener looks good right here. stop at the 4.70 range for swingtraders or you keep a real tight stop at yesterdays low.
