From the Bull Pen: Bulls can look elsewhere. See General Dynamics (GD) breaking out of a 10-month range. One can set a sell stop 2% below entry. 
From the Bear Cave: For banking bears, consider whether American Express (AXP) is tracing out a head & shoulders top. Those playing the downside can set a buy stop above $34.50. The pattern may be appearing on the financial ETF (XLF) as well. A buy stop can be set above $14.80 for those considering that play. Quick Check Around the World
