Busy week ahead on the street. Big run-up in energy most likely won’t be reflected in Q3 earnings. I think investors have had enough of earnings, I know I have. You have got a picture of what the situation looks like for companies, cost cutting to beat expectations.

We will get Q3 GDP this week, and this is it folks. I mean wow, we are expecting big time growth here, north of 4% annualized. Hopefully we won’t be in for a Halloween surprise on the downside, especially when you have had hundreds of billions of fiscal stimulus pumped in this quarter. Most expect Q3 and Q4 to be some of the strongest quarters in the near term, with both fiscal and monetary stimulus in full effect, while you are in between higher defaults on mortgages and commercial loans.

Monday: Verizon Communications (VZ) is the big report. Watch what it has to say about the development of a new mobile phone with Google’s (GOOG) Android operating system. The market is getting flooded with new smart-phone devices. Another reporter: Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group (DTG), which will offer some insight into business and discretionary travel.

Tuesday: Two non-U.S. automakers report: Honda (HMC) and Daimler (DAI). Their views of the U.S. auto market will be worth listening to. September auto sales fell dramatically with the expiration of the government’s Cash for Clunkers program. What will these companies say about October?

Wednesday: ConocoPhillips may get the most attention because of its size. Listen to their commentary on oil and natural-gas demand. Watch homebuilder Ryland (RYL) for its perspective on the U.S. housing market. Goodyear (GT) will add to the auto picture. Colgate-Palmolive (CL) will have a perspective on consumer spending.

Thursday: Exxon Mobil is up 7% in October. But its 7.8% gain for the year puts it 27th among the 30 Dow stocks for the year. Not much of a performance. Its third-quarter results are not likely to compare well with a year ago when crude was well over $100 a barrel. Food company Kellogg (K) may signal what consumers may face in terms of inflation in the next six to nine months.

Friday: Chevron has performed better than Exxon but not by much. But numbers should be big. Arch Coal (ACI) should offer a sense of utility and industrial demand for energy

A day in the market like today is when Muddy’s Darkside Watches 8/18 actually start to pan out as nice shorts on green to red. Remember many times before he and I have mentioned in a market like the past 2-3 months the darkside list is best used for green holds or red to green plays vs. shorts. BUT if we are going to start to drop here it’s going to come into play more so on the short side. As you know though, we could be in for a surprise and see it ramp right back up.. but we’ll see – that’s why we take it one day at a time and don’t try to forecast it.

Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group Inc. (DTG) and Diedrich Coffee Inc. (DDRX) started to finally break down I think most of these bounces will be good shorts as the market begins to fall again. Lots of shorts are starting to come into play even though most of the plays today were longs.

Unfortunately charts had an issue this morning on my software so I started off slow the first half hour but then made up for it on HURN and CRY. Should have some great plays through the remainder of the week.

Huron Consulting Group Inc. (HURN) big alert in chat today, got $1.01/share awesome gainer. Many played it so congrats if you were one of them! I played it again after hours for about 40 cents per share but it kept going straight into the 8pm after hours trading close. This should be an AWESOME play tomorrow again possible great squeeze since the huge drop at the beginning on the month. Once it rocks, watch for the flip as well to the short side.

CryoLife Inc. (CRY) yet another great play ripping towards $7 today was an awesome gain for us. Probably the second best play second to HURN for me. Should be in play yet again tomorrow both long and short – we’ll see how it opens up and go from there. If it fails at $7.50 may be a potential short but if it opens green and holds might have another nice push towards $8s

Mesa Air Group Inc. (MESA) one heck of a mover, volume has be consistant watch for a bit of consolidation around .25s and later on this week this may be in play again. Has been a money maker in chat.

Nanometrics Inc. (NANO) looking for a long play on green hold tomorrow

Pinnacle Airlines Corp. (PNCL) looking for a long hold if $5.50 holds

IDCC as always I watch the biggest droppers hopefully it drops a bit more tomorrow and then has a nice rebound (dead cat bounce). That’s all I’m interested in.. not going to hold it over.. not going to marry it.. looking for the first rebound and then taking it off.

Gladstone Capital Corporation (GLAD) potential bounce watch for it to blow out $7.50s and looking for a a bounce back through $7.50 towards $8 before volume dies the next few days and slowly drops off

Awesome day in chat , the PMs are getting better and better people plugging their trades picking entry and exit’s and nailing them!

HEB big alert in chat I was busy playing other stuff but I saw a ton playing it – congrats to all who caught the move. On watch for a potential push through $3.50 if it holds it may have more otherwise I’d be looking for the gap and fail at 3.50 for the short side

PCX was my favorite short last night and we nailed it not once but twice in chat…. was a perfect way to start the morning and gave some breathing room to let some other winners trade out through the day and not worry about +/- .10ish

KFN starting to bottom if it holds $1 this may be a decent swing off lows – big volume today watch for continuation

INCY watch for the $4.50 hold outta open or if it dips watch for red/green and power towards $5+

TSTC nearing breakout on $5 test

DTG you better believe it.. on scan again like I said many times I figured it’d test $18…. almost there

CENX has been a great trader nearly every day, predictable and a good way to get a padding for the day and let some other runners run without worrying about a dip or two. GROW exactly as expected from scan last night watching for the gap and short as stated HERE. Still monitoring ADY and DTG as well.

When and if the market does take a down turn you know my favorites… TCK VIP MEE and ASH (not so much ASH as of late I haven’t really traded it)

PCX monitoring the heck outta this one (trades similar to MEE/JRCC) but as a potential short – hopefully it continues its push through and over $8 and blows off.. if it does I’ll probabaly short into any spikes.. then add on an $8 fail to hold

AFFX – did prety well today on the long with the $6 break – looking for more tomorrow if it holds green. All of these potential longs can quickly turn into great shorts given the possiblity of a market reversal at anytime… if it holds green I’ll be watching

[Jul 20, 2009 6:54:52 AM PDT] InvestorsLive AFFX

[Jul 20, 2009 6:54:55 AM PDT] InvestorsLive $6 test longed it

[Jul 20, 2009 6:54:58 AM PDT] InvestorsLive .97

CLWR been a hot one.. been mentioning it quite a bit if $7 test hand hold this may have more otherwise will be watching for pontential downside if it gaps over $7 and crosses back under it

ORBK first day vol if this holds $10 may have a bit more towards $11+

QLTI watching for a dip/hold of $2.60 and possible red/green action for a test of $3+

PEIX alert earlier today watch for possible push through .40s

CENX which we absolutely nailed on Friday is still on watch, this thing trades well. Not going to make any guesses as to long/short tonight but I’ll get a feel for the market at 9am tomorrow and we’ll go from there, potential s/s on if it drops under $6. Hoping for a brief run up though to catch some nice shorts – we’ll see in the AM but like I said its a great trader so monitoring.

[Jul 17, 2009 6:34:36 AM PDT] InvestorsLive CENX on s/s watch for fade red

[Jul 17, 2009 6:36:36 AM PDT] InvestorsLive shorted CENX 6.54

GROW big big big big alert Friday morning – lots played all day thats just a brief recap from some, thanks S4C for the alert! Should have another gap potentially usually a two day runner in which case we’ll be monitoring for the s/s

[Jul 17, 2009 7:44:02 AM PDT] Soldier4Christ GROW small pop @ 8.83 vol. upping close watch for the breakout

[Jul 17, 2009 7:44:22 AM PDT] Soldier4Christ low vol on GROW

[Jul 17, 2009 8:27:13 AM PDT] Muddy GROW test 10

[Jul 17, 2009 8:39:26 AM PDT] Muddy GROW over 10

PBME some volume here, an OTCBB some of these have been doing pretty well check out the PBTH alert from scan – I’ll be monitoring for more OTCBBs here in the near term

NYNY former runner keep an eye for $2 hold and some volume, normally its not a buy and flip kinda stock but rather steady slow trend up with spikes along the way that fall back … so don’t chase jumps but rather sit back and accumulate if it holds a trend

WPRT wish this had more volume but great breakout over the $9, watch for $9 hold and further push

DTG short biased still, we had a great shor the other day – watching for more opportunities

ADY short biased on $25 fail

BAA charging from lows, $2.25 is a gap fill watch for it to surge through there and start to head back down.. good short if it fails to hold $2.25

CHINA hasn’t ran in quite some time… adding it to watch not to buy the breakout but to monitor next 2 days as it pulls back… its been known to run in past

GFA nearing resistance but has volume may pressure $20+ tomorrow and if it breaks could cause a nice breakout

AIM former runner has been really good to us in the past $5 holds this may test $6 IF IF IF the volume returns… lacking it today after a few solid days of it earlier in the week

DYAX has been holding strong for some reason… $3.25 break and hold I’m a buyer

DTG the short over night I had few others in chat had as well, covered today at $15.40… looking for more opps tomorrow and next week – if it holds I wanna see $18.. but if not.. loving the downside potential

LZB hovering around that $6 watching for s/s but if it holds and breaks thru $6 not afraid to go long

CAR has the same chart as LZB monitoring for weakness – if not.. may squeeze towards $7

Tonight doesn’t have much to shout about on scan, most stocks haven’t jumped on my scan… that doesn’t mean there won’t be a ton in play tomorrow because as you know most come from the momentum alerts. We killed it today, I took 1 loss holding 1 stock and traded 20 .. awesome day all around, awesome feedback from members and if you haven’t checked us out yet.. what are you waiting for?

IBAS held 1.60s still have half left looking for the $1.75 re-test if it can’t hold I’ll be selling

WPRE watch for $1.50 break/hold for further upside

PCBC holding a few off for potential rebound sold the rest after it had a nice move mid day

ADY hoping for a pre market over reaction and possible to grab a discount – it filled the gap back to mid May

DTG been talking about it all week in chat each day I have been playing red/green today made more than most days as we approach $16 but man oh man.. shorts aren’t sitting to pretty right now

DYAX over nighted, this thing has been on a TEAR since that 2.25 break unreal!

BONU yeah.. big promotion tonight.. you HAVE to have it on radar… hototc.com has been ridiculously hot as of late and if you get a good grab in the AM there’s a great chance to make 10.. 20… 30% within an hour. WRGL was a huge mover today and MANY in chat grabbed out of open for the spike just like last time we caught it. Topped out at .68 cents for an easy .20 cents per share.. do the math.. you risk as little as $1k and make nearly $500 bucks in the first hour of trading… that’s a great start

NNVC found on accident I was looking to see how NVNC pump was holding up and came across this one.. Watching it for continued push/vol not much volume at all right now but has been a former runner

DTG borderline serious breakout if the longs can hold it and shorts cover. This thing has surprised nearly everyone and its not stopping.. yet anyway we’re real close to a $2 dollar move to the upside imo

SAY had been SAYing (haha) it in chat for the past week.. was playing size I really wanted to hold it each day but never did and each time played smaller. The first day I had 10k at 3.31…. made it 6 cents before it got stuck… second day 6k made it for a dime.. and FINALLY today bought this AM 4k .. and had a nice nice move then later on in the day again for the .05-.08 move. Nothing too crazy to shout about though, shoulda coulda woulda just held but one thing I like about the trade is its a predictable mover – on watch for more tomorrow towards $4 should be in play both ways long/short great flipper

AAV great mover should test $4.50 area before reaching some trouble, monitoring for the short side but don’t jump too early wait for the fade as it spikes to the upside quickly

LIOX mentoned this one many times as a buy at 1.78-1.80 range for the $2s and a swing.. working out real well

ELN on bounce watch off $7s

CBK great move today but may have more.. keep an eye for green hold and a break back through $6.50 for continued upside

DTG hugeeeee mover today mentioned early on DO NOT try to guess tops on these just because its up, this looks just like DDRX. There was a decent scalp mid day from 10.50s to 10.30s.. broke back through 10.50 and hit a new high of day before fading back to 10.50 again. Decent for trading it but don’t get caught shorting/holding it.

ISTA watch for green hold and continued push towards $4.50+

TWMC almost a mil volume today watch for the $1.25 test, if it test with volume I’ll more than likely long it for a test higher… if it goes red.. not interested

JAZZ got a great short off today $4.85s down under $4.60 should be in play more tomorrow – potentially gap and hang around 4.80-5s before setting up for another short opportunity. There’s good support at 4.50 today so if it holds out of the open instead of gapping.. it may be a nice long towards the $5 break

AM incredible mover, stalking for the short tomorrow – would be nice to get a quick spike out of open towards $11+

ELGX still long from yesterday see if it can break another 52 week high towards $3.50 tomorrow

CKSW been on scan a lot lately since the $5 test still charging towards $6.. may play this one tomorrow

TIBB right back to the $6 range as expected didn’t even test higher for another day

AMR down 22% today along side the rest of the airlines

UAUA as expected $15 test out of open and down 20% before a slight recovery to -15% on the day

DTG $2 didnt hold, headed straight back towards sub dollar range sitting .30 cents above it

CVH I traded towards the end of the day watched for the reversal, I was a bit early wanted to test $13 again first, held and and squeezed .50 cents towards the end of the day. Ended up trading with the market towards the end of the day (if you pulled up SPY and QQQQ could predict the movements)

TEO continued the bounce and tested $6 – might have another pop of $6 left in it, then its off my radar

POT I grabbed small out of open, grabbed a bit more on the dip and traded it out for a small profit – slight mistiming but their earnings came out pretty good, stock is at lows, still on my radar for tomorrow
