I reduced my holdings, but yes i still have some...
Commodities are rocking now...lol... Crazy market
BQI, Did you drop out? Or is it time to buy more?
I did a simple TA that Fidelity offers, It shows the midterm indicators looking bearish. I thought the double bottom might be positive. I jumped onto GBX this morning trying to ride Warren Buffet's shirttails
Hard to say roscoe, looks like the dollar might rally a bit and drag down commodities near term... Long term i really like silver stocks.
I think its reflecting what they've done, but not the potential of a USA mass retailer hitting any day now.
Does this look like a turn-around for PAAS?
Question for you Rocket you know they say that sometimes a stock does not always reflect the success of a product do you think that applies to us?Thanks

Got a rocket in the making for you guys!! Check out HIMR!. we have a golden cross forming and a CEO interview taking place today on TheSCR.com . This is easy money IMO.. im telling everyone to grab some today here at the ask and ride this up to .10 !!!!!!!!! http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=himr
Careful in this market everyone. Be prepared to get out of your positions on a short notice. Set stops... Might be topping.
A couple weeks ago stock had more follow through, now im seeing a lot of headfakes...
You never set a stop?... I got out in the $7.90's when it lost $8.00 support. I did not have a stop set, but i watched close and sold as soon as it failed
You are still pretty green tho right?!
Its a good company in a hot sector, it will move up again IMO
PUDA, kicking myself in the butt now.
Looks like I do get to have my entry point after all . Any idea why it is down so much?
- Crowded Mind
And MXGD, glad I am not in either of them
Rocket AMNP is getting thumped this mornning.It looks like another pump and dump but i think its got potential somewhere.Glad i didnt get in when it was at 1.40,i came close though.
Never mind, figured it out for myself. Thanks.
- Crowded Mind
Hey Rocket
I am trying to buy BQI call options, order type should be buy open right, not buy close? and when I ultimately sell them, it should be sell close?
Thanks
- Crowded Mind
Thanks, appreciate your offer. I'll keep in mind.
Thanks, looks like I have to get ETrade approval for options, will do it soon. BTW, I too agree that there is a correction coming, I see overbought indicators everywhere, financial stocks heating up, banks reporting record profits not on loans but on stock trading, real estate has not picked enough up to warrant the price increases on builder stocks and yet HOV is trading at $4.30. Here is the cake, Microsoft reported lower profits and crappy guideline and the stock gapped up 10%. Still, I suppose economy is on the mend, so we might actually get off with limited damage, who knows
- Crowded Mind
Call your broker and talk to them about it, they will explain...
Then if/when you are ready to try your first trade i can walk ya through it if you want... Its simple, but can be confusing at first.
You dont need to exercise them, you can just sell them before expiration. If they expire worthless, you just lose your initial, thats it... If you sell them SHORT, then you might get executed by the buyer, but not if you buy straight up calls/puts... I buy options all the time and have never converted to shares.
You can lose easy with options but the gains can be massive if you catch a nice uptrend.
playing puts is a much safer way to play a possible down trend in the markets than selling short... and a downtrend is coming IMO
I haven't mustered up the courage to enter options yet. Though I have been studying them for a while, I have never traded options. In this particular case, Apr $2.50 calls, I could buy a 1000 options, but there is no way I'll be able to come up with $250,000 to purchase the shares if I exercise my call. That is what is holding me back .
- Crowded Mind
Do you trade options?... Theres lots of interest for the BQI April $2.50 Calls. They're @ .20 right now.
$200 gamble could turn into thousands if it sees a nice move in the next 6 months.
I grabbed a little @ .20 and looking to add a little more @ .15
I was hoping for a mild pullback to $1.47 range. Lets see, I might have to cough up
BTW, I bought CDR in April for $2, so I am sitting on a nice return. If you see the history, the stock has always traded above $12. Just that with the real estate market tanking (CDR is a REIT), credit drying up the stock tanked. But fundamentals seem good still, Leo Ullman the CEO abhors dilution, so they cut dividends to preserve cash instead of selling stock. Also, CDR's properties are bread and butter supermarkets. That is what attracted me in the first place, no matter how bad the economy goes, people will have buy their groceries, food and meat.
- Crowded Mind
CDR - Thx, ill check it out... What entry prices are looking for on BQI?
Nice call on BQI, I am still waiting for an entry point. BTW, take a look at CDR. I have been long for a long time, but off late the stock has fallen off the cliff. It is a $12 stock, given 6-8 months. This might actually be a nice entry point.
- Crowded Mind
EVRN looks good here around .015. Record volume already today... Theres a seller tho, so make sure you dont go too big if you play. SCALE into it so you are ready in case it dips.
Its a consumable product play with mass retail penetration. My favorite kind of penny!... but im still doing DD
PUDA, If I had left that sell order for 8.75 I'd be buying it back right now. Oh well
BQI weekly chart (by NYBob)- Grabbed some today. Lots of volume coming in and a big move is possible.
Took an initial position at 0.88
- Crowded Mind
BULM - Chart is ready for a higher level, but we need volume to pick up again.
Im sure lebed will give it a plug today sometime.
Its hard to say where its headed from here. there are no buy signals yet...
Sorry, i dont have a stockcharts account right now, cant post a nice chart.. Just using Power Etrade Pro charts right now
DAKT: I'm looking for a long term play on outdoor advertising
BLUM took 1000 more shares yesterday @.88. I'm ready for the run now.
I've been waiting for an entry point in DAKT for almost 2 yrs now. does this look like a decent one? or is it still too sluggish?
American Sierra Gold Corp. Signs Final Agreement to Acquire High-Grade Discovery Day Gold Project
* Press Release
* Source: American Sierra Gold Corp.
* On 9:00 am EDT, Tuesday October 20, 2009
Companies:
o American Sierra Gold Corp.
RENO, NV--(Marketwire - 10/20/09) - American Sierra Gold Corp. (OTC.BB:AMNP - News), an independent gold exploration company headquartered in Reno, Nevada, is pleased to announce that it has signed the final joint venture agreement with Trinity Alps Resources, Inc. to acquire a 75% stake in the high-grade Discovery Day Gold Project. This agreement follows from negotiations based on the Letter of Intent as announced October 7, 2009.
The Discovery Day Gold Project covers over 950 acres and controls the entire Knownothing Mining District in northern California, which includes the four principal mines -- the Gilta, Discovery Day, Hansen, and Knownothing and several other smaller mines and prospects. An ore reserve estimate from 1996 published study by Cooksley Geophysical, Inc. reported a total inferred resource of 1,165,000 ounces of gold, of which over 157,000 ounces were considered to be in the proven and probable categories. The Company will need to re-evaluate historical data and carry out additional exploratory work on the numerous targets available to take the property's resource to a mineable category.
"We are extremely pleased to sign the joint venture agreement, and thus initiate the process of developing the mine. We expect the first year work plan to be approved shortly and allow us to initiate preparatory work for drilling. The turnkey mine and processing facilities, which include a 100 tpd ore mill, are fully permitted for on-site production through 2016 with all environmental impact studies and necessary operational permits completed and approved," said Mr. Wayne Gruden, American Sierra's CEO.
"More than 7 million ounces of gold have been recovered from placer and gold-quartz veins in the Klamath Mountains province of California - Oregon, and we believe that we are well positioned to identify the next large mine in this historically rich region. Past production records show mining runs averaging 12.06 ounces of gold per ton. With proven past production and the high impact prospects, American Sierra is well poised to provide shareholder value at a time of near record gold prices," added Mr. Gruden.
Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, American Sierra has agreed to invest US$2 million in the property over a period of 2 years in order to earn a 75% stake in the project. In addition, American Sierra agreed to issue 2 million shares and 2 million 5-year warrants of AMNP's stock to the vendor of the project over the same period. The warrant package offered, if exercised, could result in an additional $2.5 million of funding available to the Company.

I added a small 2nd buy @ .90 on Friday...
We need it to hold the 5MA and start to push up through $1.00 this week. Lots of resistance in the .90's on Friday
Have you bought any more? Or are you sticking with your starter position?
An excellent stock for a one day flip is lfbg trading currantly at .03 when they get news you can usally double that!I believe last week or the previous they worked their way up to .09 from .027 !
I think AMNP has major potential Rocket.If they get bought up or do a merger especially with gold prices on the rise this could explode literally overnight.
Do you have L2? The action on PUDA is very interesting this AM.
Theres a battle going on... Bulls are trying to jam it up through resistance
GLTY, not my style, but I do like the fast paced arena just looking to throw my money in the right places and sit back and relax. :)
What im looking at constantly changes... I flip mostly and invest in a few.
If you go through the posts from yesterday you can see what im currently playing... Some work out, some dont... With some of these plays i might not even hold 10 minutes so keep that in mind.
I dont know your experience level, but i would suggest not betting too big on any one play. Make multiple buys with the thought that it will always go lower after you take your initial position, so you're prepared for the dips... Spread that $$$ around and try to take advantage of the many runners in this market. If you dont like how a stock is trading, sell it and find another. Keep your money flowing
My only LONG position right now is WNBD... Its a pinky, but i've done very well with it and expect it to rally again in the near future.
Have a great day
Canceled my PUDA sell order. I know I'm wishy-washy.
and what is about to make you money.
i like options! what you been lookin at?
