Another Shot at a Short Sale in Lam

Stock quotes in this article: LRCX  

Once the short entry is taken, I suggest putting a fairly tight buy-stop on the trade at around $56.05.

The downside target would be about $47. The stock was at that level in March, so it's not much of a stretch to believe that the stock could return to that area again.

Updates on Previous Picks

  • Akamai Technologies (AKAM Quote): This trade set up on a break below support, at $42.35. The current buy-stop should be set at $44.10. Akamai closed at $42.87 Wednesday.
  • Goldcorp (GG Quote) is still on the Watch List. Continue to wait for this stock to run up to $25 before shorting. Goldcorp shares closed at $23.32 Wednesday.
