swing traders, check NTEC. Haven't done much DD but I like the chart and it's playing like an accumulation run.
It's an addiction - maybe we should start a recovery chapter for bottom feeders...
First rule should be:
Only play with a stock within three days of a big dump on news. Negative dump on positive news included.
Just traded well on NTEC - no news and caught it low. They'll still probably hold it down for three days now so I sold 2/3 of the position.
I just placed a limit order for SEPR and it took a while to go through. Is it possible that AMERITRADE is not passing my orders straight through?
The fills just feel different from DATEK.
Still seeing some nice accumulation runs in biotech: SEPR,MDCO,NTEC.
ALKS breaking out a bit and MLNM may also be breaking out of a trading range.
It feels like the real deal, but I have to warn you, I'm still very much in a learning curve here.
OMG - another thought.. Don't these things usually take at least three days to resolve? This gives the big boys a chance to collect those margin call shares.
Well, I could start comparing the chart to good biotechs that have trial results that are not so hot. They have been overly punished and come back. The question is will it take days, weeks or months for the comeback?
Another possibility - The boys with the bucks used it as an excuse to induce a bubble, con j6pk out of his hard earned money, and then popped the buble.
OMG - can you summarize the story behind this? Tried to get a feel from Yahoo but there was too much drek on the board.
Have you read about the Gulf War vets who are murdering their wives? There is a strong possibility that they were exposed to something that has affected them psychologically.
And you didn't mention the vets that smoked dope in the war zone..
You forgot to mention the DC sniper and the guy who shot up the nursing school in AZ yesterday.
Still haven't had the inclination to go short. I guess I just haven't found anything seductive enough.
Thought about SEPR at 9 but had some nice longs goig when it started to fall apart and couldn't get in. Now I'm wondering if I should even consider it.
171,000 traded at 9 just before it started to slide (14:19). Makes me think that yesterday's weakness was just a fake-out.
O.T. Some of you expressed interest in my e-mail

"...a four-wheel-drive vehicle laden with about 175 pounds of explosives
rammed into the rear of a commuter bus on a busy highway in northern Israel
today, turning the bus into a fireball that burned some passengers alive
and set off the ammunition of soldiers riding inside. At least 14 people
were killed, along with the bomber, and 50 were injured...
...Car bombs have become a trademark of Islamic Jihad, which has claimed
responsibility for a large percentage of the more than 20 car bombings
that have been used in attacks against Israeli buses, marketplaces, city
centers and a Tel Aviv disco..."
Well done El Jihad.
Israelis says their God promised them our land, but in our land we are
the Gods
and the only promise we made is that all invaders must bite dust.
Revolution till victory!

You'd better call DATEK (ameritrade) to get the straight scoop in ISLAND. Trades now get routed to CINN but their software hasn't changed and I don't know what happens when you do an "ISLAND ONLY" order.
DATEK was associated with island but is no longer, do a search on ISLAND AND DATEK on this thread and you will come up with a couple of comments.
This should get you to the board, then enter the numbers.

I did a chart study on those 100 growth stocks
http://spiritsites.com/stocks/
Note, the charts at the right can not be loaded automatically, so they are blank.
If you don't have a high speed connection, this will take a while.
If anyone is interested, I can also post a printable chart.
It seems that the data was released, but the file not put on the site. This is a pain because I can't import the data.
Interesting though, BDAL and IMGN both show an increased short interest in spite of an unreasonably low price and announced buy back programs. Neither are cash short or in any near term danger.
What possible rationalization is there for shorting companies like this at this time?
Short interest should have been published
http://www.marketdata.nasdaq.com/mr_section2.html#8
and the file is not on the site. Is it available anywhere else and the site is just screwed up?
And what would be the further implications of stocks with GOOD quarterly reports and healthy growth being perversely manipulated?
Will these stocks flip even if conditions deteriorate next week? The more I understand the more confused I get.
Uh, that's S.O.P. in DC. If you don't work that way nothing gets done.
Is there a place where I can look up earnings dates by company?
I hope you bought back in, just looks like a fake out.
Now APPX is going through the same thing as PILL - good earnings but they run the stops. Absolutely incredible.
Taking a stab at GNSS again - in at 9.88. From the block action today and yesterday I am guessing that there is interest from the big boys up to around 11.
Rats, I though I had the perfect candidate for my first short LOL!
What's the ticker for Scottrade?
Yes, but what you want to see is the fact that the same thing happened last quarter. It's just a marketmaker move, financials are good. Look at the action today, it's in slow motion.
I bought 2,000 at 12.72 and 12.75. They are holding the spread so it's almost impossible to buy any size under 12.80. As soon as someone hits the ask it will move up. If you go on the bid they will trump you.
Within a couple of days I expect it to be back at $14-$15. Of couse don't take this as gospel, I'm not Zeev. Do your own DD.
Scottrade - has it ever been that bad before? Sounds like that could put them out of business..
Look at the monkey business with PILL.
You can go to the Yahoo GNSS board and manually direct to the message number in the post.
Thank you, I didn't know about that!!
I also get a lot of those african prince in distress e-mails.
That would have to come from a very limited seciton of the Bible, the original teachings of Jesus. Much of the Bible can be abused in the same way the Koran is abused, to foster racism and hatred.
Looks like turn or burn here to me...
Referring back to your old BTK chart.
Thank you for pointing that out - I will ask for a supervisor level on my next call.
Alienated Datek customers - spoke to customer service tonight and asked if a transfer to Freetrade could be expedited. She said not at this time as they work through separate clearing houses but sometime in the future they will be consolidating and it would go more quickly.
Also said if I did transfer there would be no fee out.
They are racist and warmongering, they give specific acts of violence and recommend them.
After September 11th I did some on line research and was checking out some moslem publications. I now receieve periodic incendiary e-mail.
"The action we are seeing today may be an attempt to buy into the rally cheap"
That is the feeling I am getting with the bios & health sector. Seeing some serious stop running while other stocks that have been volitlie are settling down.
I'd like to study a few stocks tonight and I really like my swing setup as it is right now, I want to see PILL through to tomorrow at least and I've taken profit on my other holdings in order to do so.
I had something a little more explicit in mind, like a ticker to study tonight.
Thinking about giving up my virginity tommorow and tyring a short if the market starts to slip.
Would appreciate any and all suggestions that would make this first experience an enjoyable one...
