Posted on May 12, 2011 at 00:24 AM EDT
In addition to some long stocks, we’re going to go over some ETFs, particularly some of the oil stocks as well as some of the silver ultra-shorts that are looking very intriguing here. ProShares UltraShort Oil & Gas (DUG) has had a long downtrend that may have been arrested. After a double-bottoming around 25 1/2, the mid-April high is taken out. That’s the first time a high was taken out going all the way back about a year. The spike up last week got up to about 30 1/2, and the spike up on Wednesday got up to 30.27. It came in a little bit short and backed off to close at 29.90. It was still up 1.61, or 5.7%, on nearly 2 million shares. We’ll see if we get a follow-through. The initial target is the 31.90 – 32.00 zone. Macy's, Inc. (M) had a big day on Wednesday. The long-term pattern on this stock shows that multi-year resistance existed over four years. That was taken out with a thrust, price-volume surge, and gap on Wednesday, closing up 2.04, or nearly 8%, on 3.27 million shares. That’s the biggest volume in a very long time. More importantly, the breakaway gap is signaling perhaps a new rising trend on the way. The next test would be something up in the low to mid 30s. Rovi Corporation (ROVI) had a big move on Wednesday and was the biggest gainer on our board, up 8.80, or 18%, on 12.4 million shares. More importantly, it opened above the February-March highs where resistance was at, stayed above it, and closed above it. Perhaps the key support zone now is around 58 – 58 1/2, and if it gets over 60 1/2, it could move into the mid-60s pretty quickly. ProShares UltraShort Silver (ZSL) made a monster move from 12.83 up to 24.49 in a 5-day period. It’s followed this week by a pullback that held the 20-day moving average, which has now flattened out. The volume has also pulled back. Wednesday it popped, the volume expanded to 37.6 million, up 2.95, or 15.7%. Possibly we may see a fairly big move in ZSL that takes it somewhere up around the 30 level or better. That’s the intermediate target. Look for something short-term around 27 1/2.
