Is there a list of non-shortable stocks somewhere?

OK, to an extent it depends on your broker admittedly.

It's a real pain when you get everything lined up, press the order button then it comes up as being non-shortable grr lol and then it goes south and you're not in because you can't get in. It would be nice to know upfront.

It was definately nuts trading today. Yesterday was one of the best morning sessions this year. Too bad the afternoon was pretty quiet.

Hi Dave

today for me is a critcal potential breakout day. That index charts look primed to pop, as crude is breaking down on my charts.

a big positive for the markets.

I iike the fact the SOX bounced off the 50 day and could help tech.

we need to see the NQ H6 take out 1700 and then we'll see some fire works, the Spoos aready gave abuy signal on the P&F charts at 1292 and certainly 1300 is within easy reach.

it's going to be fun today :LOL:

Hi Jerry,

I listen to an S&P 500 pit squawkbox, and there were steady buyers all day long. I do have the idea that there are some stops up above 1300. The cash close yesterday was not high energy but still some light buyers there. The cash close usually gives a good indication for the morning session the next day. If all the big local players are working the pit today we'll have a really good day. Crude is going down yeah. Yesterday crude went down because there was a rumour about today's inventories that are probably going to be bearish, which is of course bullish for equities. So oil numbers today at 10.30 NY time. And tomorrow Durable Orders.

Let's rock. I'm rested, relaxed, refreshed and RARIN' to go. LOL.

Hi Jerry

We are certainly at a key juncture on the Naz. If we can sustain some upward momentum then we should be able to break above the descending triangle, formed from the highs in early 2006. If we fail, and fall back then will be some doubts about the recent upward surge.

Also helped yesterday was the news about the CPI core rate which gave the market some comfort which also helped to alleviate Tuesday’s concern about the future policy of the Federal Reserve.

Anyway, today, I reckon, is gonna be another record session for 2006

Hiya Pitbull

I think the street is discounting the next 2 hikes toward 5% Fed Funds...

What we need is the collapse of Crude to spur the markets higher.

IMO that CPI & PPI were both a little hot for me. There is infaltion out there but it never hurt too much since it's under 2% per year...

good luck today

That's true Jerrie. It doesn't hurt under 2% per year. BTW, what's your opinion on oil?

-Dave.
 
we do the same

we scalp for living trying to make a days pay and let the rest of the market buy and hold...

on P&F April Crude breaks down at 59.00 let's see if we can get that to happen... :devilish:
