Closing Comments

Well, the bulls barely got out alive-- as the rally sputtered out late in the day. I added to my BRCM and ATHR short positions and will add to my NETL short-- if it jumps to $27.5

Weakness was abundant in the energy, homebuilders, brokers, gold and the steel sectors.

Strength was easily found in the semiconductors and networkers.

Bottom line: My best guess is a weak market tomorrow-- spearheaded by today's strongest sector: the SOX.

At the end of trading, the following stocks had notable upside moves:

NKZ-wt, NMR, FMD, EV, ISE, BSI, WFMI, OATS, GAP, BKC, BMHC, COSI, VLGEA, MLS, PCR, MIDD, CEO, ACLI, RAIL, KFX, ACH, LDG, TECH, LCBM, FOXH, CLZR, SMBI, QDEL, SFE, PACT, RATE, TFSM, MCHX, GROW, NTRT, RBAK, CRNT, BKS, DDS, FD, CHS, SIMG, ININ, RMBS, TTWO, NWRE, RNOW, COHU, BRCM, GEPT, NGPS, EMC, CLEC, CTCI, MTE, CYCL, UTSI, CWCO, DK and DXPE.


At the end of trading, the following stocks had notable downside moves:

NOIZ, ANTP, CCCC, STI, NLY, BSC, CAV, CVCO, MHO, FLR, JOE, RMIX, ASEI, IPII, HC, ETN, XNL (Mark Cuban hit piece out on sharesleuth.com), GSX, OMNI, USU, PLLL, BRY, ARD, GEOI, HOC, IOC, NXY, MEE, UPL, HOS, NFX, SUN, QTWW, GMXR, DRQ, DPTR, TRGL, HAWK, GDP, FST, GLBL, NGS, PDC, BLDP, FPP, ACI, SUF, MIND, VLCCF, ANDE, AVR, PEIX, MGPI, VSE, IIIN, ATI, TIE, NTMD, NMTI, CAT, AA, MSTR, SA, AUY, JADE, JOBS, ARO, JCG, CONN, THQI, SGTL, COGO, STEC, IFON, GRRF and RCCC

Comments:
I will also short NETL if market is weak tomorrow. Been eyeing it all day and it seems to be attached to the major indexes... which are weak. PPI data comes out in the morning so that may be enough to send us lower.

Do you use a stock screener to come up with your list of notable moves? If so, what's your criteria (market cap, P/E, price movement, volume) if you have one?

nice call on ATHR
 
Thomson Financial allows sorting. Well, I have about 10 pages of stocks, broken down by sector and % gain/loss.

Hence, the above list.
