Bearish Picks

by DPeezy on March 26th, 2008 at 1:30 am

Even though we seem to be well on our way to 12,750, there are several nice bearish setups out there. Should we take a ‘dip’ tomorrow, I will be looking to the following to ‘bank coin‘ on the short side:

SYNTHETICS: Calgon Carbon - (CCC: 19.00 -1.71%)

RESTAURANTS: Chipotle - (CMG: 70.53 +0.67%)

SCIENCE & TECH.: FLIR Systems - (FLIR: 37.15 -3.23%)

RETAIL: Volcom - (VLCM: 19.56 -1.51%)

VLCM got a downgrade yesterday and it’s overbought. But its options are not so attractive.

Also overbought are CMG and FLIR.

I’d go in that order.

In with CMG 120. puts. Couldn’t find a nice limit entry for FLIR. Didn’t feel comfortable betting against CCC; and VLCM option volume sucks (not always the case).

Also into PALM with a straddle at 5.

Keeping an eye on UNP ($130), HOKU & GSIC (downtrends).

CCC is a good pick, I’ve been short that sucker before… back when Katrina hit, it’s main factory was under water, and the market didn’t even know about it for a couple of days.

Heh.
