One Trading Idea for Friday, January 18
The box came up with one long idea for Friday, January 18. Fortunately the last couple longs it has suggested didn’t trigger — we always look to buy *above* the previous bar — so it hasn’t taken too many hits of late. Given the terrible action recently, it’s odd that the long in XRAY, currently with a breakeven stop, hasn’t stopped out yet.

how do I get your trading ideas (freeload while you can). What is the “Box came up with” mean?
I don’t see any box. Do you send these out via email?

toast: You click the link that says “freeload while you can” and send me an email. The “box” is what I jokingly call the software that generates the ideas … many people have urged me to stop talking about my “box” since it conjures up some fairly bizarre images … yes, I send the ideas out via email but every time someone forwards them on to their buddies, god kills a kitten.

Make sure you print a good disclaimer CM, the first comment would make me nervous as a vendor.

@Thomas: You’re on the list and will start receiving ideas next week.
@Andrew: Yes, I must write one soon.
@Cap: I’m sending out the spreadsheet for December as soon as LINTA closes, but it keeps falling down down down (now over 25% since the short was initiated) so the numbers are getting delayed. In any event, the Box will be up over 25R for trades taken in December.
