$QID Trade
The market ran into resistance a third time today so I’m going to nibble on the short side again by buying QID. Stop limit @ $36.27, stop @ $34.70, first target @ $50.00, second target @ $72.00.
$QQQQ Trade Update
I went short the Qs yesterday but after watching the behavior at these levels, if we hold the swing lows I’ll reverse the position for a short-term long trade. I still think we’re going lower but it may not happen just yet. If we do manage to break the lows we’ll stay short.

Tiffany & Co (TIF) – Long @ $29.20 with a Stop @ $27.90 and a Target of $33.50 TIF is on a tear lately and recently plowed through the 200MA. A pullback would be nice here, but considering the stock has busted through the key resistance levels, there’s a good chance it moves up to [...]
ATAC Short
ATC Tech Corp (ATAC) – Short @ $15.15 with a Stop @ $17.00 and a Target of $12.50 ATAC has made a strong move off the lows during the recent rally. With ATAC and the broad market coming into some resistance, I’m taking an aggressive short position here and looking for a 50% retracement back [...]
