On Thursday Dow Jones (DJ) triggered only to stop us out for a small loss.  XL Capital (XL) made an early morning   short-side move, and by mid session was down a solid Ã,½ point. Overall, the markets were relatively flat, but a few stocks do look interesting for the Friday session.  

Beckman Coulter, Inc. (BEC) made a Fast Ball move lower and seems ready to try a retest of its mid-march lows.

Computer Sciences Corp. (CSC) which recently announced that it is up for sale is trading at the low range of Tuesdayââ,¬â"¢s Infield Fly gap reversal setup.   I will be watching the open book for evidence of potential block selling and enter short positions accordingly.

Dicks Sporting Goods Inc (DKS) made a Fast Ball consolidation breakout move higher on Thursday.   I will watch DKS closely on Friday for continued signs of strength, particularly if the retail sector (RLX.X comes on strong.

Kohls Corp (KSS) also had a Fast Ball move higher on Thursday and will be on my watch list for Friday.   I generally like to be on the short side of this one, but I will take an opportunity wherever I find it.

Mid America Apartment Communities Inc. (MAA) also set up as a Backdoor Slider for Friday.   I will watch for a break below 52.10 to signal a potential retest of February lows.

Finally, a Fast Ball expansion of range and volume presented itself in Smithfield Foods (SFD). I will look for a short opportunity below the Thursday low.
