Opportunity Buffet Part1

With 76 stocks up 4% or more on a down day, it was not bad day for long side opportunistic plays. In real serious corrections you will find less than 30 stocks barely managing to eke out 4% gains. Yesterday we had 20 stocks up 8%. So the story continues, pockets of momentum still in play.In real corrections ultimately even the best of breed stocks breakdown or dive in to bases. So if this corrections continue, all momo names will also correct, only thing is they will have relatively weaker correction. Considering the way yesterday shaped up, I am of the opinion we might see more downside after brief rally attempts.

With a reflex bounce a high probability, it may not be bad time to look at the long side opportunities, you may not want to rush in to them however .Playing the bounce game is still for nimble swing or short duration traders who can keep one hand on exit door. If the market does not act right, one should be able to exit with little loss. The better strategy is to sit out and find opportunities once the 65 day ratio turns.

The markets are at a stage where fresh shorts may not be the best option as such panic often lead to reflex bounces. Best short opportunities will be of weak rallies post such bounce. So I am not going to do second part of this.
