I promised i would take a short at AAPL around these levels.. and I am… i’m taking a 2% (my personal portfolio) short in AAPL . Like i mentioned below, it’s trading above it’s wedge formation, and i think that’s a takeout that might hold only a few more days before it falls back down at least 5-10%. So i’m short here at $235.85. Will move stop (from $238 to profitability once we fall 0.5%).

Oil is opening flat here.  I went long in the middle of writing this post, stop at 81.95.

Nat gas gapped down after selling off late yesterday.  This thing is bearish as bearish can be on the daily, but it might be a bit exhausted.  I’m not ready to short this as quickly off the open as oil, I think I’ll wait for that gap to be tested, but if we break 3.851, I’ll be in.

UTI is a position we have been holding in the hedge fund for a few days now. We are up 7.7% as of right now but have tightened our stop in order to make sure we make a solid profit. The reason we decided to tighten the stop is simply because UTI seems to be holding a 38.2% retracement, and unless it breaks it might bounce from here and shoot up to new highs.

I believe that day-traders should look at UTI and consider shorting upon a break of that 38.2% retrace. Also I want people to notice how the hedge fund has been able to make a nice profit on a short when the market keeps going up! Here’s the 60min:

Another stock that i’ve mentioned before is AAPL. As i’ve expected, AAPL is trading above it’s resistance line, but I think it’s not going to hold much longer. If it shoots back below that resistance (now support) I think it’s worth shorting:
