It never occurred to me to link to the last month. like duh. Thanks. Yes, been a very good few months.
I started in late Nov with $22,800 up $12k at the moment (including current holdings). Over 50% in 3 months. Hopefully it'll continue and not fade away.
Am going to do the link to the chart.ly thing, but am going to private message you about it first. I started doing the Wikivest thing, but have security/privacy issues with entering my username/password of course.
I know they encrypt, but will send you a PM sometime to explain how they do it it a bit scary to me. Maybe you can share your thoughts then or re-think it yourself.
Sheep, Thanks for updating your FEB with us. I was going to give you a little nudge to see if you're still up to posting the monthlies.
Yes, closed positions is not ideal, but over a year, it will all average out.
KIPS sure is taking longer then we all expected. At least we all got a little out of it. I may still enter again.
FYI: I'm looking for $5,500 each month out of you :)
Thanks for sharing with the board, your results, picks and thoughts. keep them coming.
I averaged down so am OVERWEIGHT on it, but am ok with that, as I believe the Monday hype will keep it from crashing through a floor (sans Bear Raid).
Will sell 1/2 before Monday afternoon. Looking to sell in small lots along the way if I can.
LJPC - $8.89 - Up 12% today on VOLUME and Capital Market $32 Price Target. That's the 3rd price target in the past week (Wedbush gave a $27 recently, and Noble PT of $16).
LJPC will be at conference on Monday and stated to be giving update on the data then. That makes me think that they'll announce news towards the positive direction, otherwise why present it at a conference.
Enough positive mojo for me, along with charts recently posted that I added to my position in it yesterday.
Daily chart has plenty of room to roam still. Less than two trading days to enter b4 conf, and this moves fast (in both directions) so will be interesting to see how it plays out.
APPY - Looks like the IBB is playing hide n seek with the 261 area. As such, there's a lot of wabbits out there to choose from if you're patient enough. APPY chart doesn't scream buy to me. But with the catalyst and greed, it does say "gimme gimme."
I just didn't want to think too hard on APPY. So I just bought the wabbit from the store instead of hunting it.
Point being, if not in a hurry, maybe wait for the skinny dip below the line, and the dip is daring enough down to the 2.40 sloping line, that'd be nice.
I'm just thinking if it dips, then enough greed will come in to push it up.
see post: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=98408256
for more mumbo jumbo and lines and pretty colors.
APPY $2.59 - At the moment I'm not planning on holding through the data, but that may change.
I'm actually not trying to overthink this one. I believe I could have waited out a better entry, but sometimes you snooze you lose. I initially had an order in waaay back in Nov. for $1.65ish and was penny pinching and missed out on the nice run.
So, with that in mind, I'm betting on greedy little investors all doing the same. The Daily Chart looks like its holding the sloping line up that I have annotated and recently... in the area that I have colored light yellow. It's been holding above that black line (w/ a little skinny dip here and there) for the last month and going back to December 9th actually.
So, trend is your friend...etc. I'll take a move to $2.85ish and that's enough for me ($.20 move). (may change my mind at any time :)
IBB bounced off $261.50 last friday.
LOL. We can alternate weeks.
Yes very true. I try and use iHub to learn but also to post my thoughts, successes, and many failures so that I can learn from them all. If used wisely, it adds accountability to one's actions.
Thanks again. Holding RGDX for catalysts.
Some people post "this stock is going up", "or watching this stock is putting me to sleep." and that's it.
Rhodey posts detailed factual information from webcasts, PR's and other places, and like this post, searches for info when needed.
Been following you from MSTX. Appreciate you sharing the information that you find when we some of us either don't have the time, or knowledge, etc.
Whether I agree with your opinions or not. Just wanted to let you know its appreciated.
I'll be able to play options in NED JR account.
CBLI - Bought 5,000 shares at $.77 in my *new* NED JR. account. I put $4,000 in at the moment. Will probably add $1,000 next week.
Holding just above previous resistance around $.75 after large volume yesterday. Volume not large today though. Nice gap to fill above.
- Previous candlestick wick high $.85
- 50DMA $.89
- Resistance : $1.00.
- Gap $1.10ish
Will put mental stop loss around $.69
I might be getting in a little early on APPY, but can't always be in front of computer to watch. Is teetering just below the sloping upline.
I hear you on LJPC. It's just my opinion, but I believe LJPC holds today's "sell off on the $32 Price Target" better than it did last time and possibly continues to make its move. My reasons are that they have announced that they are providing an update on the Phase II data on this coming Monday.
So, there's an actual date that the Wedbush PT didn't have before. Plus, wasn't there some shares that were sold by the company into that Wedbush PT? Wasn't something like that released a day or two ago?
You locked in good gains on LJPC! That's great. Also, remember, they may Bear Raid it at some point too (monday morning?).
APPY BOUGHT 2,000 @ $2.58.
HOLDING: LXRX, RGDX, LJPC
RGDX - Clarification about tweet - Seems to be non-issue.
@micheleciani
$RGDX sorry if i wasn't so clear in my tweet. I'm referring to AWM Investment sell movements 2-3 months ago
RGDX - I see 8% and $816. Or that's what I saw last time. Put your beer goggles on, then tell me what you see.
Am not looking for much actually. $.10-$.20 and I'm out. (the chart looked good - so that and catalysts were enough for me).
Need to re-evaluate it again. Will look over it and ZLCS and GEVO and a few others for entry tonight/tomorrow. Was thinking of KIPS for the new account, as chart still looked good, but then it moved today. So will look over things again.
Also need to review some of your (Smurf) entries over the past few days. Pick from that bunch. Maybe look at a slow mover or two from that and enter. Will like to re-enter MSTX soon too.
DARA Shelf filed - $3.05 AH - SOLD / partial at $3.15 i think it was and other at $3.05. $1,105 loss. Busy day for me so wasn't able to watch everything like I would have liked, but that's part of the obstacles to trading. Could of sold this AM for $300 loss instead. I haven't read the details of it yet, but just wanted to bail in case I wasn't able to later.
SYN gains today off set it. Worse loss to date, but no biggie.
All part of the game. Will stay focused and onto next one :)
Learn and Earn or lose and ummm snooze? booze? Eh, I'll just learn and earn instead.
hesse, RGDX
i've had a busy day so haven't been able to post some things. I retweeted a tweet from Michele Ciani stating that he doesn't trust RGDX and he mentioned something about a large institution selling. a fellow twitterhead asked him "which ...huh?" no reply.
i haven't looked into it yet. too busy, but just letting you know. could mean nothing, or something. just a heads up.
am still holding from $1.42 at moment.
LJPC - $7.88 - Added to my position. Average now at $8.59. I really like the Daily and 15 Min charts.
PR today mentioning presentation of data at conference on Monday. I think its about to Tone-Loc and if so will look to sell 1/2 or more before data on Monday to lock in gains. If not, que sera sera.

LJPC - Daily Chart
Thank you as always. I had been watching it closely the last week for a possible entry, then saw the spike today and wondered about it.
Was there any news today on AOLS?
I envy what you guys have done with ELTP, then I remind myself, that I have no holdings in it. Up until a month or so, I'd never heard of it.
There's hundreds of other stocks out there that are doing very well too. I don't own them either.
Then I smile and let it go and am happy for you all, and hope to learn from your success in it.
It's easier when you let go.
PPHM - Just a reminder... Don't look back in envy or anger or pride. IMO - You no longer held PPHM so you couldn't care less what it does, except to learn from it for the future.
These stocks are nothing more than tools to success. Whether that's a carpenter's hammer or a doctor's stethoscope, they're just tools of our trade. Tools are to be put away when no longer used.
Stay focused - let's find the next one :)
It's never easy, had a bad entry but since it was already Smurf & $heff approved, I felt good about it.
Thanks for the heads up about it the last few weeks.
As usual, Synning feels good. Is the one time I don't think penance is needed.

Word Up.
Bedouin Soundclash lullabying me to sleep.
(all words that you'd never thought you'd hear/read today)
-------------------------
Let's Get 'Em tomorrow! Today has settled, good / bad / otherwise.
Thanks. Yes, this would only be for a quick trade would be the idea. Only a few days at most. May watch though. Although the RSI is low, it has strong slope up along a trendline - while the price has stayed somewhat flat/slightly up.
GEVO $1.30 - Looking to re-enter
Bought and Sold GEVO last week for a one day hold and a nice gain. Looking to do the same again soon.
GEVO did what I thought it would last week (and went farther too). I took profit because I knew I wouldn't be able to watch with it being a hard week for me last week.
GEVO has sunk fast after that rally to $1.52 (and past resistance at $1.45) The ballywho around that sinking IMO seems to be confusion of posters/tweeters all thinking that earnings / news was going to be released in the last few days. I found a lot of references to that.
So, after nothing (other than a US Government news release of Blackhawk Helicopter successfully using GEVO's fuel), seems the price has dropped right back down. Whatever the reason...
I am looking to re-enter GEVO. Plenty of time for another mini-rally leading into conference call on March 25.
Financial Conf. Call now has been confirmed for late March (see Ihub News for GEVO board for info).
----------------------
Gevo, Inc. (Nasdaq:GEVO) today announced that the company will host a conference call on Tuesday, March 25, 2014 at 4:30 p.m. EDT (2:30 p.m. MDT) to report its financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013 and provide an update on recent corporate highlights.
----------------------
I like MSTX's no debt. Is a rare thing. More than likely will go in on one trade instead of two. Would be looking for a quick hit (few hours to few days at most) is thought at the moment. Would also be stricter about a 'mental stop loss.'
Also am thinking to just buy ACST (came back down to a very good support level) and just hold it.
Lastly ACHN is sneaking closer to that all important "release of their drug hold" which is supposed to be 1st half of 2014. Price has been shooting up at times fast on no news, then falling to support levels.
I'd like ELTP, but you know...am afraid of chasing the beast only to have it inflate on me.
ZLCS $1.51 : Just Looking through my old saved charts and ZLCS is looking primed. Any thoughts?
ATOS - Maybe if she changed her name to something cute like DARA, or...ummm (looks at his DARA), nevermind.
SYN, Yeah, popped to life a bit then settled. Will look to sell it by the end of this week probably (or sooner) if it busts a quick move again. Want to get out before the train leaves the $tation and runs me over.
I am putting $5,000 in a separate account to use for trading. Am looking at ones like MSTX and others for the starter position in it. Nice catch of it on a down day. Way to wait it out and not go for the .8264's.
Fantastic. I hope it keeps running for you all!
ATOS : Perhaps she might consider changing her name? She sounds a bit rough. Russian weightlifter?
LXRX - Am down 9% on it. Today there was 165,000 on the BID at $1.75. Down to 145,000 at the moment.
XLF : $21.41 - Financial ETF - Testing lower Support of Channel.
Update on the XLF. Today with the down markets, the XLF is testing its lower support of the rising channel that it's been in for a while.
A close below 21.40 and then see if tomorrow confirms, would then look to see it fall to support at $21.0. Let's see if it can hold right here.
