Bounce Trounce (eligible long-bombs for reflex rally)

The trend is down and contrary to common (mis)belief, oversold is not a bullish indicator. That said, this appears to be the beginning of a swing-shot reflex in the upward direction and if that is the case then I need ammunition in order to hold some shorts (and more importantly, re-accumulate more of the broken ulglies).

If we gap to lower lows on Monday, this becomes more of a watch-list. But if we're going to retrace a standard 38 to 62% of the recent drub-wave lower (retracing from intraday lows on Friday), then the below list becomes a lot more useful. I am long some of these names already (scroll down to previous entry)

Of course, don't do what I do, but feel free to sign-up on the right for the blow-by-merciless-blow Live Trades Feed via Twitter >>>

Note, except for the Fertilizer group (which has ascended rapidly recently), every name below come from an industry group with a relative-strength rating in the top 22% (as ranked by Investor's Bus. Dly's current 197 industry-group screen). The Fertilizer group is now ranked 61/197, or top-31%...
