Hey gang,

Right now I'm basically just managing open positions, taking lots of partials and trailing stops because many of our open long positions are highly extended and likely to correct for several months. I am not at all comfortable buying anything new at this phase of the market, but I want to wait to see how this pullback plays out this week or so before looking for any shorts since most securities need to correct some from this sharp selling. I will be keeping a look out for those securities which show very little reaction off support and form weekly Avalanche and Head and Shoulders patterns.


To learn more about how I locate and trade the positions in this letter, check out my new CD course at http://www.swingtrader.net.

Updates on Open Positions

CLICK HERE for a complete track record since Dec. 2002.*


Positions in green have triggered and are profitable. Positions in red have triggered but are not yet profitable. Those in blue have not yet triggered.


7/9/2007 3M Company (MMM) operates as a diversified technology company. It operates in six segments: Industrial and Transportation; Health Care; Display and Graphics; Consumer and Office; Safety, Security, and Protection Services; and Electro and Communications. In recent years MMM has fallen into a trading range and it has recently formed a reverse head and shoulders pattern over the last three years. It is now retesting the highs of the range and although it may take several months for it to base along these highs before it breaks, MMM is one of my favorite "must-have" stocks for the next several years.  MMM gave an "early" trigger on 7/12/2007 over $88.81. It has highs so far of $92.32.
Other stocks to watch for long setups: TLK
