Rick- sorry have not followed that one. Sounds like they taking back the stock to satisfy a court order. Just guessing here. Would think it would be in the filings though.

Well, was away most of the afternoon, so rode this storm into closing on the following stocks:
ADSX (riding freebys)
ERTH +.03 today
LCAV -.03 (still up from entry of .70)
MED +.19 (bought in at $1.50)
NTSE +.025 (still down .01 from my buy)
TRIB -.04 (still ahead on this one overall)
WCOM-1.60 (bought it yesterday at $11.94)

Overall- holding my own <g>

11:03AM Goldman Sachs denies rumor that it will cut stock (WCOM) 10.52 -1.48: -- Update -- Stock bounces off an intraday low of $9.76 after Goldman Sachs denies rumor that it was planning a downgrade of the stock. Also said to be contributing to pressure in the name are rumors that stock will be removed from the S&P 500 and that co's debt rating will be cut to junk.

May want to play WCOM. Dropped to fast and starting to climb

10:51AM WorldCom Hits New 52-Week Low (WCOM) 11.40 -0.60 (-5.0%): -- Technical -- Actually the stock has broken down to its worst level in more than five years. Today's sell off comes on strong relative volume. It's currently showing no real signs of a turn and the uncharted territory makes it difficult to identify a bottom. When or if a turn does occur look for modest overhead at 11.50 followed by more substantial resistance at 12.00.

Looks like I may be buying more later this week. I'll guess the next support at $8.97.

Streetshooter- Of those, I narrowed it down (by a quick look myself)to SOFO, JRSE, and PUMA, in that order. TFOCF is not trading, so not sure how that one popped up.

Busy today, so don't plan on trading. Should be a good day for all today though.

Maybe we could work for CNBC, LOL.

KP- ERTH short term for me is $2.05, will play trailing stops from there and "hope" for #2.50 so my friend will make money also, LOL.

SCLD 4:00PM 3.89 +0.94 +31.86%

Closed at the top of the guesstimate. See attached message. If you got in, make sure you move your stops accordingly and congrats to those that got in.

BoP, LOL
I'll take anything they throw at us.

Have to agree with xxray- good way to bush up on the charting skills.

My pick for tomorrow is based on a modest .15% rise off the close.

Looking for this one to go over $1. Bought in at .70 a while back

Talking to another BTS member and this one popped up. Thinking it will run to between $3.35 to $3.89. This is based on MoMo, Quick Ratios, and 4X book (a value I give to these type companies). Lots of bearish indicators popping up, so if you play this one- play it tight. I would think that it will retract about half from where it tops out at then settle. With the low float- these are hard to catch. Any comments are welcome- for the more we share, the more we learn.

National Wind Power is the leading developer, owner and operator of wind farms in the UK. It has to date developed 10 wind farms in the UK, and overseas has developed, constructed and now operates three projects located in Texas and Pennsylvania, US with others under development. National Wind Power is committed to pioneering, promoting and developing wind farms which take into account both the needs of local people and the environment whilst helping to meet energy requirements in a clean and sustainable way.

Press Release

PA DEP Issues Permit for Waymart Wind Farm in Wayne County
Largest Wind Energy Project in PA Will Generate 60 Megawatts of Green Electricity
CARBONDALE TOWNSHIP, Pa., Jan. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Secretary David E. Hess today announced that the department has issued a water-quality permit allowing the construction of the Waymart Wind Farm in Canaan and Clinton townships, Wayne County.

``Pennsylvania is a national leader in the development of renewable and green-power sources because of our successful electric-deregulation program,'' Secretary Hess said. ``The Waymart Wind Farm is the latest example of how these energy projects also are bringing millions of dollars of investment to the Commonwealth.''

The 60-megawatt wind farm, which will be operated by National Wind Power of Oakland, Calif., will be the largest wind-energy project in Pennsylvania and one of the largest in the eastern United States.

``Not only did the company meet all of the water-quality permit requirements, but National Wind Power has agreed to establish a unique partnership with DEP and the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to protect ecologically sensitive areas near the project,'' Secretary Hess said.

National Wind Power will continue to work with DCNR as part of its permit obligations to configure the project to preserve and protect sensitive ecological areas. The company also has made a commitment of $100,000 over seven years to purchase and preserve environmentally important land in and around the project area.

The $60 million project includes up to 47 wind-powered turbines located in two separate property areas on 858 acres divided by Route 6. The turbine array will generate up to 60 megawatts. National Wind Power worked in conjunction with Orion Energy LLC of Oakland, Calif., to develop this project.

Secretary Hess was joined today by David Butterworth, National Wind Power's head of International Business Development, at a scenic overlook on Casey Highway to announce this major renewable energy project. State, county and local officials also were in attendance.

Pennsylvania is now home to more than 94 megawatts of wind energy generating capacity in wind farms in Fayette, Somerset and Wayne counties.

The Ridge-Schweiker Administration led the push for electric competition and, in December 1996, former Gov. Tom Ridge signed the Electricity Generation Customer Choice and Competition Act.

The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission now reports nearly $4 billion in savings to date for Pennsylvania consumers. Nearly 120,000 Pennsylvanians now use cleaner and greener forms of power, more than any other state.

OK- Here is a stock from Thursday's chat session. High risk play. Several law suits over the IPO BS. Seems like everytime a stock goes down, lawyers are suing the company on some technical mumbo-jumbo. I'm thinking it could climb up to book when the volume increases, and the traders notice it. Volume is low now, so may have to wait a little. Any comments?
