Setups for February 14, 2012

The U.S. market indices finished yesterday solidly in the green after a gap up opening on Monday.  The S&P 500 finished +9.13 to close at 1351.77.  Professor Jeremy Siegel came on CNBC's Fast Money show after the market close and added to his Barron's weekend prognostications by saying that there's a 50/50 chance that the DJIA could hit 15,000 by the end of this year.  That would represent a further 16.5% advance from yesterday's close of 12,874.

Pre-market indicators point to a slightly negative opening for the U.S. indices with the S&P 500 -4.30 points.  Moody's downgraded 6 Euro zone countries yesterday, but the market seems to have factored in that kind of news.

Here are a few setups for today's trading.  The education stocks which are generally a heavily shorted group showed up prominently in my scans last evening.  There's a list of stocks at the bottom of the page as well. ALWAYS us stops to limit your losses.
