Ranking

CFD

LONG/SHORT

Reason

No. 1

US Crude Oil Aug 08

Long

Continues to ratchet higher & trades at $145.85 today. Weeks range $139.20-$145.85. Market won�t be happy until $150 is achieved. Longs are likely to take profit before that level.

No. 2

New Zealand Oil & Gas (NZO)

Long

Reached $1.91 before profit-taking pared back gains. Traders still adding to longs looking for $2.00. When & if Crude turns lower, this one will dovetail.

No. 3

Macquarie Group Limited (MQG)

Short

Continual rumours of staff selling their shares contributes to knee-capping of rallies. Sellers stacked above $49.00 looking for a re-test of this years low at $43.01

No. 4

BHP Billiton Limited (BHP)

Short

Decent sell-off from the weeks high of $44.85, breaking below $40 to $39.75. Traders looking for sell-off to extend into $37.00-50 window with sell orders $41 +

No. 5

Woolworths Limited (WOW)

Short

Some surprise at the speed of the slide through $25.00. Traders looking for a quick trade down to $20.00. Be quick to turn the position though when this bounces back.
