The Stock Market Was Booming Today

Today was a great day for the stock market.

Dow was up 254.71 points.
Nasdaq was up 82.26 points.
S&P 500 was up 33.28 points.

We have the following stocks on our watch list.
We believe that they will present opportunities for short selling.
Stock             Close         Gain/Loss
BAC              $8.39           +0.63 (8.12%)
Bank of America

HIG             $19.42           +2.23 (12.97%)
Hartford Financial Services

VQ              $11.76           +2.78 (30.96%)
Venoco Inc

MILL            $3.65            +1.38 (60.79%)
Miller Energy Resources

CIS               $5.62            +1.12 (24.89%)
Camelot Information Systems

MTG             $2.93            +0.47 (19.11%)
MGIC Investment Corp

We are paying special attention to MGIC Investment. The housing sector still has about another year to recover. Companies in the mortgage insurance are hurting. Radian and PMI Group are facing an uphill battle.

Let's see what tomorrow brings.
