Weekly Look
S&P Futures..Notes to myself...The deep low volume node below 1388 continued to reject prices higher last week. The levels from 1388 to 1397.50 have been well auctioned over the past
two weeks. Friday's close was above the volume range pivot at 1397.75. Majority of recent volume is now below/supportive of current price levels with only light recent overhead
congestion above. Thick long term congestion above to Major CHVN at 1427.50. Long term volume demand remains supportive with short term demand positive but flat.
Breadth positive/supportive in all time frames but diverging. Quant Studies..April POMO action peaks on 4/5 with no sales until 4/9. Early April and
1st trading day of the month is seasonally strong. NDX and Russell 2000 down 3 days in row but > 50MA while SPX closes at 3 day high is bullish.
China PMI upside surprise.
Evidence suggests choppy upside upside bias likely into early April. Bulls in control above 1397.50.

April 1st, 2012 at 10:21 amWanted to say i enjoyed the Friday gas write-up. Thinking unlike the herd and presenting good historical background is why i believe this is one of the better sites out there. Over time, i have to agree that gas offers positive risk/reward ratio and i've been adding over the last week to names as REXX, SWN and initiated a position in COG. "Buy your straw hats in the winter time" certainly applies here.
Thanks much Brod, eyes on the long term prize

Re: 1 One of the seasonality trades I follow buys on the close the Monday before the Good Friday holiday and sells at the close on the Thursday before Good Friday. That combined with the first of month seasonality mentioned in post #1 give some probability of a good 4 day week coming.

April 1st, 2012 at 7:23 pmStill see a positive chart in ROSE, it may be filling in the move from the low 40's to the low 50's. Actually some oil stocks are starting to test their 200dma and ROSE is only a breath away from that important level. Maybe it tests and continues to go up again.
re 13 – yeah, noted that the 200 day was close at hand last week for several names, thinking same. Interesting week ahead as payrolls are Friday but US markets will be closed.

April 1st, 2012 at 8:23 pmGoldman Sachs, Citigroup, J.P. Morgan and UBS are lead underwriters to the offering of GLOG, IPO LNG carrier. Priced @$14, down from original range of $16-$18, closed down on 1st day Friday @$12.40, off ~12%. Owned by Greek shipping tycoon, which could have something to do with weak debut.
April 1st, 2012 at 8:42 pmGLNG, which I consider the go-to LNG carrier, has been weak as well.
Generic Question on the site: Is there a way to review comments from all members on a particular stock? In this particular case I am studying ROSE. Thank you.
April 2nd, 2012 at 1:05 pmYou can use the search bar at upper left. That will hit anytime ROSE is mentioned. You can you use the find function in your browser to quickly tab through the post.
By the way, this is the weekend post.
