Just sold MOH @ 31.31 and SYNA Calls @ 1.50

Looking around today we see oil open much higher then give back most of the gains as the inventory report showed a rise in inventories. You saw energy names spike up, then give back most most of their gains. Most of them currently stand to the upside but well off their highs.

I have a few open positions that are very affected by energy prices. At this point, most of these stocks just have too much volatility to play here. I would be comfortable getting into the right position at the right E/E.

Two stocks that are torching me today are SCHN and FST. A steel and oil and gas play. SCHN would provide a good E/E with a stop at 70 right now but I got in way too early on Monday. I am looking to close FST today as it broke above the descending trend line.

Names I am watching today:

LM
HUM
