it's ok. we all believe what we want to believe. now that the gap was close to being filled, i wouldnt' be surprised to hear some positive news for GTAT
See the post replied to - that gap was below major support -
Yes, but I believe it was an internal move by the largest broker, TDA. The volume doesn't show up on the charts.
For all PRACTICAL purposes that gap was not "filled" unless there was volume.
As I've said many times - trading stocks is like playing poker with a mirror at your back. Your broker knows what you have, and with TDA accounts that can be 3/4 margin it doesn't take much to hit that mandatory margin call at 25%. You can be sure someone exercising that call has a list of "wanted" stocks.
And the next call will be to fill the gap on GTAT that is over 8 months old as of today.....lolzzzz... It only matters if it is on the weekly chart after a runaway and months gone by...
The only reason it dropped was the lack of sapphire use not the chart. If sapphire was used then the pps would be well over $20 and never coming back...
Short interest went up.....Getting through the exit door on good news could be devastating to some of them...It will take 3 days to get out without huge volume...
The fine was like commission fees compared to what they capitalized on...
Hitting 9.70 was very close to filling the gap
When i said a few days ago that 9.50 was the target, some agreed, some did not. Well, we came within .20 of that target today and now the stock is in the $11s
Shorts have problems IMO -
Very little picked up under $10.50 - doesn't even show on the charts. Makes me wonder - do internal TDA transactions get reported?
Notice how we are currently hovering at a resistance point? All indicators are postive.
Six month Shows steady increase in SMA 180 not broken in the gap down. So statistically speaking this dump probably hasn't made a dent in the short position.
Yep - sorta like the guy who said he'd tell his supervisor to email the numeric addresss of the trading site to all of the customers who were locked out by a DNS attack while they (probably not just TDA) ran all the stops one Friday about 10 years ago.
If they are then for sure...up 5%+ off low. If they are swapping only a million shares even, then the profit is mighty nice for a day alone....
I don't think TDA would have run the stops to collect shares this AM if they were expecting the stock to go down.
TDA monkey business is back -
Not updating properly and look at the tape -

PSP calling for bottom at $9.50 with short term upside target of $14 - $14.50
http://investorshub.advfn.com/PRO-RESEARCH-STOCK-PICKS-28967/
GTAT -Support $8.96 - $8.26 - $5.69 ..... All have no real effect without any update on EOY guidance.
My $9.50 is coming closer
You failed to raise awareness about the gap above that. The most recent gap...
No news is not good news in this case...Short interest has increased as Xena noted.....They think that Apple has no short term interest in GTAT for full scale implementation.
As GTAT is bound to Apple to say nothing concerning that which looks to be 80% of short term business, they need to focus on sales outside of that to meet EOY guidance...
It's all catalyst with GTAT now and zero chart.
Thank you so much for your response! I really appreciate your input as I'm fairly new to trading.
Have a great rest of the day!
Regards,
T
Make note: someones pushing this to get insiders out..is the only news around here..contrary to what you hear not short ..I'd wait for that 9.50-9.00 mark..unless a catalyst comes by ..
Thx...I was wondering that..
According to IR today, they haven't determined the day and time yet.
Good article. Just a matter of when not if. I can wait it out :)
I can't wait to hear about the insider selling...lolzzzzzzzzz.... Bet the SEC and FBI will be listening to it also...
What Might GT Advanced Technologies Announce On September 29, 2014?
Sep. 18, 2014 1:44 AM ET | 59 comments | About: GT Advanced Technologies, Inc. (GTAT)
Disclosure: The author has no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. (More...)
Summary
•GTAT stock price is still falling.
•Company announced a conference call for later this month that will move shares.
•There are 5 things company might address on call.
GT Advanced Technologies (NASDAQ:GTAT) severely disappointed investors when Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) revealed neither the iPhone 6 nor the iPhone 6 Plus would have a sapphire screen. The only winners from the bad news were short sellers. The stock traded recently at $11.63, but is still higher than its breakout price of just under $9. For the next few quarters, investors should still expect speculation on how much sapphire Apple will use for upcoming and future products. Since GTAT is bound by a confidentiality agreement with Apple, what matters in the near term is the update the company will give to shareholders on September 29th 2014.

GT Advanced "announced that it will be holding a webcasted conference call the week of September 29th, after the close of its current quarter, to provide a business update." There are five things the company might address on the call.
1) Insider selling
Insiders acquired and immediately sold $485,216 worth of shares, or 28,533 units, on September 6, 2014, thereby avoiding $154,000 in losses:

If the timing of the Apple announcement was not material, executives should have held their shares. The sale is a small amount, but holding the shares would signal that management was confident the value of the company would rise.
2) Update on Merlin initiative
On its Q2 conference call on August 5, the CEO indicated that the response from partners and potential customers for Merlin was strong. During the quarter, the company successfully completed the performance, safety, and quality testing phase. GTAT shipped samples to several customers and was in active discussions with them. There is a high likelihood that the company will announce signed deals with them on September 29th.
Merlin offers great potential for revenue that current shareholders are ignoring due to the iPhone-sapphire disappointment. If 20 percent of the PV market adopted Merlin, it would mean $1 billion in revenue for GTAT.
3) No major update on Hyperion initiative
Hyperion is a tool that is involved in producing ultra-thin sapphire, silicon laminates, silicon carbide, or templates. GTAT thinks it could get its first order for BNCT Hyperion accelerator in 2014. However, a commercial deal probably will not happen until later in the year.
4) No change in earnings guidance
To the surprise of many bears, GTAT may not lower its non-GAAP forecast of $1.50 per share for 2016. Revenue from all initiatives will be more meaningful in 2015. It is possible that the company will lower 2014 revenue estimates, but unlikely. Still, this would happen if a delay from producing sapphire at high enough yields was one of the reasons Apple delayed the release of its Apple Watch.
Investors should expect product delivery in Q3 and Q4 to materialize. This means that while Q3 may meet forecasts, Q4 will be even stronger.
5) Re-affirming healthy balance sheet
To re-assure investors, GTAT may reiterate that it has a healthy balance sheet. The company forecasted $400 million in cash by the end of this fiscal year.
Bottom line: sapphire a 2016 story
Investors are understandably disappointed GTAT is not supplying sapphire for iPhone screens. Manufacturing and ramping up production of the material takes time, but Hyperion and Merlin are even more meaningful for the company. Sapphire was unusually a higher percentage of total revenue (at 80 percent). This will not be GT Advanced's revenue mix once development for its other products complete and are ready for shipment.
Ironically, the stock might rally on no new news for sapphire. Speculators who bid the stock will take a loss. Investors with a one to three-year time horizon will eventually reap the reward.
You might want a couple more insights on GTAT.... A short position view will be opposite of a long position view for GTAT...pull your own trigger...
Would you mind elaborating on that statement please? I'm fairly new to GTAT and I'm new to this board as I'm looking for insight on whether to buy GTAT and the timing.
Thank you!
Insiders of GTAT need retail to get out~ don't buy it~~
Retail needs to be aware - whether trading or investing, playing the market is like playing poker with a mirror at your back. Your opponent knows what cards you are holding.
GTAT chart - 1 year 3 day for smoothing, 30,60,90 and 180 day averages corrected.
Much of the VBP weakness has been backfilled. My guess is that we are hugging the $11.30 area because that's where the insties have planted their feet. Would explain snafus in retail feed and big chunks of stock being moved around whenever they try to break this support. No liquidity below this level. IMO of course.
Through all of this chaos - VWAP has not broken and 180 day has held.
That "gap" is below major volume by price support. For four days after that the stock could not break support of $11.31. You see weakness in VBP up to $16.
Gee - any of these numbers sound familiar, LOL? Another confirmation IMO that this is a RETAIL SHAKEOUT spearheaded by the brokerages so they can clear their books for the next move up.
Nice explanation... Know a lil' bit about this stuff huh...lol.. just a numbers guy myself on this one....
I knew they had and are selling the technology but had not known they didn't make the panels...
Thanks again...
GTAT - Looks like everyone feels comfortable in this area.... gonna sit until sumtin' breaks.... zzzzzzzzz
For the record - TDA streamer not updating properly again - no correlation to L2 and have to force manual update. Retail getting the bum's rush?
