    Daily Stalk Summary

    Below is an overview of all "full-serve" open positions, as well as a performance report on all "full-serve" positions that were closed only since the previous day's newsletter. Net P/L figures are based on the $100,000 Stalk Sheet model account size. Changes to open positions since the previous report are listed in red text below:

      Open positions (coming into today):

        AKS long (150 shares from Feb. 8) -
        bought 45.12, stop 42.69, target (breakout above 49.00), unrealized points = + 1.10, unrealized P/L = + $164

      Closed positions (since last report):

        CNX long (150 shares from Fed. 8) -
        bought 77.23, sold 76.87, points = (0.36), net P/L = ($57)

        CNX long (150 shares from Fed. 8) -
        bought 77.32, sold 76.95, points = (0.37), net P/L = ($58)

      Current equity exposure ($200,000 max. buying power):

        $6,933


      Notes:

      • AKS long triggered.
      • Per intraday e-mail alert, we bought and sold CNX twice for a combined loss of $115. The breakout price and volume action was disappointing. In a weak market we prefer to exit with a small loss rather than hold through the weekend without a significant profit buffer.


      Market Conditions / Gameplan:

      While it looks as if the market is trying to bottom out at these levels, we would like to see some confirmation, such as a full day of buying with strong price action into the close. Until then, we will keep our exposure to the long side at a minimum.


      Market Leaders:

        Monitoring the price action of leading stocks is the best way to gauge the health of the market. This list of leaders is updated every Monday.

          Leaders - ACI, AEM, AUXL, BVN, CLF, CNX, DBA, DBC, FCL, MA, MEE, OI, PBR, PRGO, RRRC, SID, SLV, SPW, WLT,

          Leaders at/near the 50-day MA (a key institutional support level) - ADM, AGP, PA, BLK, HES, ISRG, LUK, MA, SPW, TEVA

          Leading stocks breaking the 50-day MA (last week) - APOL, BG, HUM

        Notes on leaders:

      • We are seeing more bullish setups emerge in the market.

      Open Position Detail:

      • AKS - Strong price action in the first hour of trading, followed by a tight horizontal range. Looking good...no change in stop.
