Recap for Monday March 2nd 2015
Monday morning was an eventful day in the stock market, a couple of good missed opportunities such as $EYES, $BIOC (both took a big dip), $ZAGG and $ABTL both has a bit of run as earnings winners, $CYCC and CYTX displaying parabolic moves remaining on the green and $RESN starting to show signs of a bounce based on speculation.
I took a late day o/n position on $RESN based on a Tim alert and information that Seeking Alpha is coming out with a favorable article for it, hoping for a morning spike and make $0.5/share on it.

Notes |
This stock has been on my watchlist for a while now, with a major drop over the last 10 days. This stock is expected to continue falling either close or to its pre-run levels. |
Concerns |
Very irregular stock, lots of traders getting burned with choppy behavior, trade with caution. |

Short |
Notes |
$EYES had a big drop yesterday following a spike that pushed it to the mid-$17 range, before it closed at $15.01. This stock will probably crash some more in the coming days. |
Concerns |
Lots of competition to get shares to short on this one. |

$0.3-0.5/sh |
Short |
Notes |
This biotech stock has displayed a parabolic price action type of behavior; it had a $1 drop before experiencing a rebound. This is a potential short as it will probably keep on dipping now that the biotech hype is calming down. |
Concerns |
This may spike some more before it drops, shares to short have been hard to obtain. |

$0.3-0.4/sh |
Short |
Notes |
This stock was up on news of acquisition of $100000 of shares at $2.00/share by its Interim CEO. Weak news, but enough to create a hype behind this stock which may be a potential short as it failed to follow through. The stock closed at $3.08, about $0.42 of its highs. |
Concerns |
Given the spike yesterday, this stock may run some more. |

$0.5-0.75/sh |
Short |
Notes |
Parabolic price action on this stock, making it a good candidate for shorting; price fell 3 days ago before experiencing a rebound. This stock will probably keep on dropping back to its base level in the coming days. |
Concerns |
Shares to short are hard to obtain, 2nd rebound day, which may indicate another spike/squeeze before it starts dropping. |

Short |
Notes |
This stock has shown a parabolic behavior, making it a good candidate for shorting in the coming days. It still hasn’t had a red day, but will probably soon start to drop and revert back to its base level around $1. |
Concerns |
This stock may spike some more before it starts dropping. Potential squeeze for early shorts. |

$0.5-$1.00/sh |
Long |
Notes |
This is a very speculative stock on which I currently have a position. It is a potential buy as a dip buy based on the major drop 2 days ago from its $15 price point. Rumors of a favorable Seeking Alpha article coming out. |
Concerns |
This stock may continue dropping, small up action on the last 2 sessions. |

Notes |
ABTL is an earnings winner on 3rd green day, potential buy or dip buy at previous support level. |
Concerns |
Given that this represents the 3rd day up with slowly reducing day range, the stock may encounter a dip in the coming days. |

Long |
Notes |
This is an earnings winner up $2.00, and is currently at its all time high. Given the the current price point, this will probably be a potential dip buy or if it continues with the hype could be a good morning spike. |
Concerns |
Given the price point at an all time high, the price may drop to a more familiar level. |

$0.3/sh |
Long |
Notes |
This is another earnings winner up from the $6.50-$7.00 to the mid-$8s at its peak. It is currently on a period of bounce and may spike some more before it falls back down. |
Concerns |
Given that the bounce has been underwhelming, the stock price may just fall without a major move in price |
