I think CACS is a good one to short, $10 and the 200dma are too much resistance - it is reversing back down. Also, the CFO resigned.

The importance of volume is shown with the way the QQQ reacted to the 10-million share block trade on Oct. 15 - shown in the chart below. There were also daily volume increases on up days, which showed heavy buying around this time. In the present, as it is making new highs, I am not looking to short but waiting and watching for a point to possibly buy at a pull back. Volume was pretty high on the Nasdaq yesterday and should be noted. Its significance will become more clear as trading continues.

Drunk and blogging again - not a good combination. Don’t worry, I have extremely good control of my stock scanning skills and can perform almost without flaw - even drunk. Same with karate. But when I play chess drunk, I suck.
GEOI went completely nuts today - I would keep it on the watch list.
IIIN looks good - had a nice volume thrust with price today - looks like it will break out soon.
FRD is looking good too, check out the chart. Over $8 or so is a new all-time high = no resistance.
FSL, a recent IPO, has a chart that looks like it could give you a nice reward to your risk ratio.
NUCO looks to break out - watch it.

The QQQ made a new 52-wk high today and the Nasdaq is close. Obviously the momentum is up. But it is too strong lately - it will definitely correct at some point. I am looking for a volume thrust in the QQQ, similar to this one, which changed and should change the momentum.
