Shorting $TAN and $AMD and Buying $IEZ and $GSS

We've got some lower conviction trades today (yesterday I didn't post because of low conviction).  It's worth beginning to position for a short on $TAN (solar ETF) based on its overbought situation.  That said, it was oversold last month, and so could still climb up to around $8.40, which is a better place to go short. 

Shorting $AMD on the underreaction to CEO shake-up.  That's big news, and creates fundamental uncertainty.  Coming off the spike related to CES, it still has a ways to slide (1-2%) over the week.

Buying $GSS on oversold situation, but again, low conviction.  Also buying $IEZ oil services due to a reversion to trend from an oversold state (more particularly, very negative sentiment).
