Morning Meeting Recap

Wednesday

More volatility yesterday as we totally recovered from the morning sell off. The top of the range on the September S&P contract is 1139 to 1142. On the downside, the 8 day avg is 1132.1, the 21 day avg is 1126.3, and yesterday's low is 1123.5. The semis were very strong yesterday with BRCM leading the way. RMBS and FLSH were also very strong and may have reversed, or at least stopped their downtrends.
CECO has more bad news and is gapping down about 8 points; look at APOL, and COCO.
There is one secondary that should perform today: FMD priced at $36.50.
CYBX continued to the downside yesterday, and could be a good short if it gaps up or goes through yesterday's low of $33.22.
FDX reported in line and BBBY, and MU report after the close.
I will be at the Daytrading Expo at the Chicago Hilton tomorrow, so no comment.
Here are some of the news related trading ideas for today:
Career Education cut to Peer Perform from Outperform at Bear Stearns
SEC is set to approve plan to ease short-selling curbs for one year - WSJ (this could be tremendous for daytraders)
Imclone estimates, target raised at FBR
FedEx reports in line, ex items, guides above consensus
Ask Jeeves upgraded to Buy from Hold at Jefferies
Human Genome upgraded to Buy from Neutral at Robinson Humphrey
Advanced Micro estimates raised at BofA
Goldman Sachs upped to Outperform from Mkt Perform at Wachovia
R.J. Reynolds upgraded at Deutsche
PeopleSoft estimates cut at JP Morgan
