Two hours left in the trading day and everything has gone pear-shaped. I’m sticking with what I just bought and am playing for a bounce. It doesn’t look like we’re going to close above the March lows; a very bearish sign. Act accordingly given your risk tolerance.

Down another 155 points to start the day for the Dow, no time for panic yet (key word “yet”). Buy when others are fearful. The “buys” from yesterday are still buys. Keep close eye on the posts here at The Daily Trade though as it can go dark quickly.

Fellow traders…..we did very well with the July 27th post suggesting selling everything and getting defensive. Now its time to do some buying. No charts to put up today since time is of the essence. If there’s one in particular you’d like to see, send me a message and I’ll post it. The following buys are:
Threshold Pharma (THLD) which was posted here on July 15th is getting a bid on decent volume today. Looking for it to hold above $2.20.

Molycorp Inc (MCP) which was posted here on July 7th has not been a good investment. I’m somewhat more comfortable holding here because the volume has been so light as it’s pulled back. For now its a hold but the finger is on the trigger.

I don’t like recommending Pharma stocks. When things go bad they usually go bad quickly especially the small cap companies like Threshold so keep that in mind. I can’t deny the positive set-up in this chart and therefore it made the cut. Not for the risk adverse.
Taking a bit of a flier here. Chart and technicals look decent. I was swayed by the fact that Seth Klarman of the Baupost Group just doubled his position and now owns 11% of the company. Could be volatile.
