January 20th Watch List

SNAK – My choice for a nice reversal play. I like this for a move back to 6.50+. Long entry will be over 5.57, stop 5.30. First target is 6.

TNK – An oversold tanker stock that has paid well for us in the past. Definitely looking for a bounce in the market and oil for this play. Lots of room here though. Long entry is over 4.50, stop 4.25. Room here is to 5.70 short term.

TAST – A nice and strong breakout setup with room to 14 highs. Long entry over 13.30, stop 13.00. Great risk reward setup here. Light resistance to 14.

EBS – If IBB has another week day, this can really sell off down to the 28 level before getting back to reality. Looking for a short entry under 32.50, stop 33.25.
