Nasdaq comp nearly flat today, up .39 percent, 7.05 points.

But the swing stocks?

DRYS 6.72% 6.65 points
GRMN 4.52% 4.69 points
AAPL 3.98% 6.43 points
BIDU 2.57% 8.27 points
FSLR 0.20% 0.27 points
LVS 0.74% 0.95 points
WYNN 0.70% 1.06 points
RIMM 3.69% 4.18 points
JRJC -10.20% -3.99 points

On top of Friday's:

RIMM 13.28%
DRYS 5.79%
AAPL 4.58%
FSLR 4.29%
GRMN 2.72%
BIDU 2.22%
LVS 0.57%
WYNN 0.30%
JRJC -4.40%

Good three-day swing. Stocks up more than a cumulative 8 percent.
Looking to take profits any time.


For the record, these swing stocks as a group were up another 23 points, 1.8 percent, today for a cumulative gain near 9 percent on this now four-day swing from the close 10/4.

Swing is getting old, and still looking to take profits anytime.

Sold all these guys on the market's reversal today. For the record, as a basket, they were down 60 points in today's disappointing bloodbath, leaving a 48 point profit for the swing from the 10/4 close to the close today, nearly a 4 percent profit. Black ink is black ink, but that was truly an irritating reversal, the stocks were up intraday more than 10 percent on the trade (incidentally, if one was looking for it, there was a nifty intraday exit at 2 p.m. EST with the stocks up close to 8 percent for the trade). Welcome to October.
