The Mining Stocks You DON'T Want to Own Today

Last year, we told you about the terrible bear market in iron ore.
 
Iron ore, the building block for steel, fell 67% over the past four years... and 44% in the past year alone. Many iron ore miners are down double digits.
 
But there's likely even more downside ahead...

from Financial Survival Network
It’s time for Mickey Fulp’s Monthly Major Review…
February 2015 continued the trend of increasing volatility across most major markets. Stock markets started going up again after a brief one month hiatus on the downside. Metals were down, oil rallied, Natgas notched up slightly, Uranium was up, so were interest rates on the 10 year. Bitcoin was up finally. The Dollar was up as well. Dr. Copper seems to have found a low at $2.50.
Markets have gotten a whole lot interesting lately.

1-year chart of LKQ (Nasdaq: LKQ)
LKQ has essentially went nowhere over the last 12 months having traded sideways the whole time. And during the last year, the stock has also created a key price level at $25 (red), which has been support every time it has been tested since June. Now that the stock has broken that support, lower prices should follow.

The Tale of the Tape: LKQ broke a key level of support at $25. A trader could enter a short position on any rallies up to or near $25 with a stop placed above the level. If the stock were to break back above the $25 level, a long position could be entered instead.
