HI! Xbig thanks for the new video's.
I was wondering if you had some time to take a look at AMSZ over the week end, I'm in at 20's and I just went from a trade to thinking (HOLD)this thing is going to penny's! Before I go totally off the handle buying it up I need some experienced second opinion TIA
DEET
Thanks I got a 30 day trial from Stock Watch. We will see how it goes.
go to options...data sources and thats where all the brokers are listed......
in a week or two, i am going to upload a complete quotetracker presentation.......
What do I need to get quotetracker started? I downloaded it and I registered it but still no data. Do I have to buy a quote source too? If so any recommendations?
http://quotetracker.com/ is the charting software that i use!
imo, there is nothing even close........
I've watched some of youe video's excelent stuff and I really like the chart you use where can get that? But realy I want to ask if you can do a vidoe for GBOE that would be great thanks much in advance... DEET ( and the music is real nice touch)
how to grow a smaller portfolio!
i am frequently asked: 'I have a small portfolio, how do i grow my account?"
using $650 initial money, this portion of your portfolio would now be worth $2150......i am giving an example of what is possible by buying the bottoms and selling the tops.......especially on a great trading stock like IDCN......which, btw, probably has got more in it........a lot more!
Washington Post: How to Lift a Falling Economy
How to Lift a Falling Economy
By Ricardo J. Caballero
Sunday, February 22, 2009; Page A13
Hope is in short supply during these trying economic times. Nowhere is this clearer than in the financial system. Since Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's recent announcements, shares of the main U.S. financial institutions have imploded yet again. The Dow Jones industrial average keeps falling. And to make matters worse, politics has decidedly entered into the process of economic policymaking, which makes it all the more likely that we will end up with the wrong policy response, one that is probably too late anyway. Talk of nationalizations has become widespread, as if government takeovers were a panacea, further reinforcing the deadly spiral of fear and panic.
Already, this illness has spread to the global economy. It has ravaged the wealth of citizens around the world by about $40 trillion, according to some estimates. This continuous wealth destruction has frozen consumers and companies alike, so the real economy is in a free-fall as well. How do we stop and reverse this process?
Here is a proposal: The government pledges to buy up to twice the number of bank shares currently available, at twice some recent average price, in five years.
While the policy is about future (and unlikely) interventions, the immediate impact would be enormous. In particular, it would turn around the negative dynamics of stock markets, and it would allow banks to raise private capital.
ad_icon
The most direct effect would be an increase in the price of banks' shares, as the pledge puts a floor on the price, but the upside potential is huge once we get over the hurdle posed by this crisis. That is, buying equity from these banks would become like buying Treasury bonds plus a call option on the upside. By the strong forces of contagion, this rise would immediately spread to non-financial shares. Consumers, especially retirees, would see some of their wealth replenished; insurance companies' balance sheets would improve; destabilizing short sellers and predators would be wiped out (as happened in Hong Kong in 1997); and we would have the foundations for a virtuous cycle.
The second, and reinforcing, effect would be the stabilization of the financial sector, as banks would possess the conditions necessary to raise private capital. Until now, banks have not wanted to raise capital because it would be highly dilutive at current prices. Potential investors have no interest in injecting capital because there is an enormous fear of further dilutions, especially through public interventions or, worse, outright nationalizations. A pledge to support the shares would reverse these dynamics and quickly recapitalize the banking sector.
How much would this cost taxpayers? Probably nothing. It is unlikely that the crisis will last five years, especially in the presence of an aggressive policy response, and most banks' shares are likely to soon trade for many times current prices. If the market prices surpass the government-pledged sale prices, there would be no cost to taxpayers.
There would be implementation issues, including how to customize to each bank's needs and the extent of the liquidity discount of the different portfolios. But the market needs good news sooner rather than later. And there is no real reason not to try such a proposal -- not unless the "cut off your nose to spite your face" attitude grows even more prevalent.
Dear Stock Warriors.
Now is the not the hour to despair,' we are on the verge of a new bull market. What we have just witnessed was Capitulation.
I don't know if any of you remember the S@l crisis, but i think this week we will end the uncertainty in these markets.
Taking a few steps and the credit crisis would come to an end.
So i say to you, when we get beaten we grow stronger!!!!
When we embrace the fear/chaos, we open ourselves up to opportunity. Go out and buy yourself a new house (they are cheap now), because we are going to make so much money in 2009 this weeks pain will be future gain$.
Heres a little video on mark to market!

NEW BULL RUN

We are stuck in the descending triangle (RED), within the bigger pennant. If we can break the red triangle we should hit the upper trend line of the white pennant.
Stockhaven room nailed em today. Market down 100 and all these guys could do was make money flipping stocks and options. Incredible. I worked at the office today and still managed to make $500. Watched c and bac and made the money on C. All I did was feed in the middle of the line. Seems I heard that somewhere. LOL
What a freaking bust. I emailed the company to complain that we had nothing for a follow-up. I cant even find the thing online anywhere. Great video showing the technology, but market could care less right now. Did buy some .09's today.
UIS The volume has tapered off on this one. Seems that as the market goes UIS will go. For longs that is nice to see. But, I still think we get a pop. NEED VOLUME
Link back for chart
Had a rare day to trade Wednesday and screwed it up by watching GNW and AXL for a break. LOL Long story short end of day they both rose, I missed the bottom by not seeing it confirmed in my eyes, and then missed the FAS and BAC runs because I felt I missed the boat ride and refuse to chase anymore. Anyhow, lesson learned. Dont get caught so upside down in two freaking stocks. I even had plenty of cash today to buy with not counting margin. What a weird day for me. Oh well hope you all make a mint this next few weeks, because I think it will be a roller coaster ride.

nothing looks promising on this chart now. Will buy for another ride up when its time.
JMAR This one could get good legs tomorrow for a nice uptrend. This company at one point had great contracts with the Federal Government and now has a one of a kind product http://www.jmar.com/BioSentry_bioterrorism.shtml Chart is shaping up for a nice trend upward.
Look at your one year resistence and see the trend line broke today. My dad owns alot of this and beleives strongly. I will buy some tomorrow pre-market.
Needs to go tomorrow or we could fall back if the market falls. Dad says the market retests Nov lows and lower. This board I marked today also has some good looking charts on it and is a new board. Good luck all!

Hi Mikey: What happened to the Breakout Trading room? I cant login to it anymore. Did he change the name of the room and or the password to get in to?
It's on the list...if the unemployment numbers kill the market tomorrow, it will be a good load the boat day. Excellent chart, thanks.
Would love to see the 10 cross the 20 and bust through the 50, then volume explode. As always watching everything I own intently as negative news seems to be in the air these days. Look at SAY, 9 to nothing probably.
Keep this one on watch for volume, but a turtle approach may win this race. Remember I am looking for flippers and positions for a double to ride free shares. I own this at .62 in a Roth IRA btw. Have 2009's contribution in the account as cash looking for quick longies as I call them.
lol I'll be my own, too.
Make a few more like that and I'll be your best friend!!!!
That was my first call and no one noticed, lol. oh well looking for number two.
This could turn out to be a nice runner in my opinion. Fundamentals are weak, but I will be out half at 1.20 and ride some for the long term play. JMO Bob
Hey, thanks a million. Bob
The easiest way is to right click on the chart and pull up the properties. Then copy the part beginning from after the http:// (we don't need this part) Then in your post put the copied part inside [*chart] and [*/chart] and voila! You don't need the asterisks...if I didn't include them, then you wouldn't be able to see the words as it would assume I was trying to post a chart. Let me know if you have any questions!
Can someone point me in the direction of how to post a chart from stockcharts.com? Would like to post a few sometime and get some opinions.
Hey no problem. I was just trying to get an idea on who has what broker and why. Thanks for the response, good luck.
I have Choicetrade and it's my mistake. They are not offering, they are just giving a link to T3live.com. I appologize for the misunderstanding on my part.
rock, study he tutorials.....http://cboe.com/
calls are long.......puts are like shorting, but you BUY the put.....as the stock comes DOWN the puts will go UP
Good afternoon Mikey! I hope you enjoyed the snowbikes...
I had a question about options...uber basic.
When I buy a call or put...(TDA...which I believe you use also) I want to click the "Buy" and the "to open" tabs...and when I sell...it will be sell and to close?! The "to open" and "to close" are messing me up? Why would they have those tabs?
Let me try to illustrate my ignorance with a guess...I guess that when you write options, that would be like shorting a stock, so the to close tab would be required when covering those written options??!? But don't they just expire? Oh well...I will get on the phone and try to talk to TDA...ohhhh...TDA must have a webcast on options....
Have you seen the webcasts? They are pretty good for technical analysis...well for a rookie like me, that is!
Anyways, take care and see you in the room! Rock
Learning to make money and learning how to lose money in this market right now. The chat room is making me one mean trading machine. Been break even for a month now. Traded over 700 times last two quarters. Take out the WAMU hit and I would be up biggly. Hats off to those whom read this board and share information along with the folks in the chat room. I owe you all an enormous amount of gratitude.
Who is your broker? eom
Can you please give instruction on T3 as my broker says they will be offering T3 soon.
What is well capitalized?

amen bigshot, marked this board. nice place this will soon be!
CONVERTING from PENNIES to BIG BOARDS...NOW is the time:
i know that for some, this header will be disappointing, because you may have a smaller portfolio and ass/u/me that the ONLY way you build it up is to catch a big penny run........the penny runs of yesteryear are OVER for the most part....back in 2005 and earlier, there wasnt a day that went by where some stock(with liquidity) ran up to doubles, triples and more.....today, every now and then one shows up.....but its rare! ......look at the post i am replying to.......at that time, i had a total of 52 stocks that i made up a watchlist....so i decided to check on these stocks......so i set up a 10 day chart to open ALL 52 charts and watch them open, one right after the other(with qt, i can do this).....i think 5 were green after 10 days of trading......and yeah, i'll probably get someone who tells me that "their" stock was one of em.......whoop e i o ki a...........a winner.......a steenking winner.......ala........look at me, i had a good call.......so i will answer them in ADVANCE......"son, i cant tell you how proud i am of your win......sell the sob.......oops that would be a #5"....."you say its going higher?......pennies?..........SELL IT on the way up and as it hits the stratosphere, you'll be ALL OUT"
ok i digressed:
1. open up an account that allows you to flip stocks....there are some out there.......
2. join a chat room......yeah, we have one, but i dont care if you join ours or not, thats not what this message is about.....join ANY chat room that plays big boards......what you are looking for is LIVE ACTION......messageboards and blogs arent enough, imo
3. STUDY STUDY STUDY.......i am going to be updating this board to accomodate more big boards and probably remove some of the junk regarding pennies.......http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=7267
4. even with a smaller portfolio, if you are not making AT LEAST 150-200 a day, you are missing out on a golden opportunity......if your portolio is larger, you are probably missing out on THOUSANDS per day on a good day and 500-1000 on a bad day......i can give you dozens of stories of traders that got their butts handed to em and finally saw the light that it was NOT gonna get any better until they did something different and the 'difference' was NOT some other penny.pos...they needed a whole new ballgame.....and in some cases a brand new stadium!!!!!
5. when big board stock pulls back, like what we are experiencing now.......it an amazing thing.......it doesnt go to -0-.......you actually can sell it and still recoup something.....
6. when a big board stock runs.......if the news is good.....it will actually run more than 45 seconds.
7. you will NEVER have to call a transfer agent again!
8. you will NEVER have to send a private to someone with these words.."hey ihububba....you hearing anything about DIRT, i am starting to get a lil concerned.....what happened to the volume?"
9. you will NEVER have to post "DIRT is done"
10. your emotions will swing dramatically to POSITIVE.....and yeah, you CANNOT trade WITHOUT emotions......forget about all the crap you read about that.......if you have any kind of skin in the game you WILL be emotional.......make no mistake about that........anyone that tell you different is either lying or flipping very small amounts........
overview: if you put the same amount of time, energy, 'due diligence', studying, etc, into big board plays ....that you put into pennies.......you'll increase your income MULTIFOLD......if you were losing your butt and bleeding continually by playing pennies.......i will GUARANTEE.......YOU will learn to win AGAIN!!!!!!!!!
YOU can do this!!!!!!!!!
Good Sir, can you make that chart option post as a sticky. Its a new Ihub feature all you have to is go to your manage board and enter the message number.
If you need a hand, lol pardon the pun. I will help as a mod when i can.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS BOARD IS SIMPLE: to try to educate our novice and new traders! I am astounded at some of the messages that i see written on some boards. It is quite obvious, that some of our brethern have no idea what they are doing, and more importantly, dont even know where to look to find information.
I am going to be asking some of the better traders to "throw down" some of their better LINKS to success in the otcbb market......
the link can be technical, fundamental, news, filings, etc....i simply dont care what link is posted as long as its applicable to trading!
i am going to encourage all new traders to use some of these links in their everyday trading and in some cases, there will probably be some great information in that link, as well!
no offtopic posts will be allowed! no posting on stocks will be allowed! no pumping will be allowed! no bashing will be allowed!
i would ask posters to follow the format that i use in post number 1.........in the subject, spell out what the link refers to and in the body........post the link!
this board is primarily for use by anyone, but we are trying to help the newbie/rookie.....i think we are coming into otc season... its upon us... and we want to give our newer friends every possible resource that they can find!
