EGHT took my .07 can't seem to get past 3.40, but if it does...
and i'm sure it will now that i've picked off a few pennies.
the VOIP story remains positive imo for long haul.
AUDC seems to be running out of steam. took .70
in the postgap vein: TVIN? big vol 3 of last 4 days. haven't looked for news or fundamentals. wouldn't play it myself until i did that.
p.s. 10Q on 11/12. looks like someone knew it wasn't a standout quarter a couple of days early. hate that crap.
anyone on this board able to post companies due to report earnings in next day/week?
VSEC nice pennant on highvolume flagpole
will enter on upside resolution
Mon morning not so good for me....i hear Mamas&Papas in my feeble mind :)
bot EGHT on pullback for scalp shoulda done ALTI
almost bot TGAL at 1.28 cuz earning evidently were ok, and coulda had .07 but watched
i believe there will be an increased focus on some of the larger Naz issues and am watching FDRY RFMD but have no conviction or desire to chase
BEAS was on the top of my list with even a star! but i didn't pull trigger...sheesh
TLGD was posted this weekend by someone re. xover in 13dy MACD
MSON which i charted last night doesn't seem too liquid
TMTA getting slapped and is worth watching for a bounce at some point
pls accept my apology for whining
more on gapdowns
as a subscriber to TC2000 i get to see a proprietary "balance of power" indicator. BOP. don't pretend to understand the mechanics.
BOP goes from red to yellow to green. on TC2K the stock has spent nearly 2 weeks in yellow after 3weeks of red. and the gap is now being chewed into. this strikes me as sort of normal behavior for meltdowns, and as such, has me looking more closely for an entry.
i'd be waiting for the next turndown in the 4,3,2stoch and then would definitely buy if the turndown halted at the "trendline" drawn through the recent lows of the 432s
i happen to be a big fan of flash memory stocks and own FLSH and SNDK in LT accounts. trade SSTI in trading accont. thankfully sold a good chunk of SNDK in 70s presplit from initial buy below 10 early in '03
Trading Gapdowns
I've never seen anyone with a reliable system for buying this kind of gapper. Time heals the wound and then the early adventurers start it climbing back. imvho i leave them until the price appreciates above the highest postgap print.
seems to me there are so many fish in the sea why try to catch one that's damaged.
i think the best bounce plays come from hi volatility stocks that do the channel thing up and down, or when you catch a ticker that overreacts UP then overreacts DOWN. I look for real support and hope for a 50% retrace bounce from the low towards the midpoint. this makes for good scalps or swing trades in higher priced issues.
I've watched SNIC a lot without trading it but it provides a good example. Broke down from 20. found support at the 89dyMA below 17 and is bouncing back. There is a large short position which provides good fuel for the bounces. You can see that I am a real believer in using 4,3,2 stochastics to strengthen my resolve re. oversoldness that can lead to upside reversals in this chart. The 13dayMA would have given longs a nice stop limit on 11/5.
FNSR due for consolidation? or more running
wish i'd just held it at end of Oct. instead of 3 baby scalps.
do you think it's cross of 200dy MA mean more to come or time for consolidation? i'm always leery of chasing stocks that reach overbought on 4,3,2 stochs
charts: FCSE (lateFri move); 4bounces? MSON CTLM CRIO SKIL &AUDC
MSON hit my oversold scan
FCSE: reporting after close today (Mon); that price move Fri. was in the last 40' of trading...if smart $ has a whiff that earnings are going to be good there may be followthrough
CTLM: oversold with $1.3M trade Friday (nearly 600K shares); Thurs seems like the reversal day
CRIO: looking for .10-.15 in good market
AUDC: posted last week that i liked this ticker for a swing and now looking to sell when the upwelling peters out
as ever, any comments on these most appreciated
FD: only long AUDC in both LT & ST trading accounts
Williams%R
http://stockcharts.com/education/IndicatorAnalysis/indic_williamsR.html
from cursory glance the only diff. tween setting for 14 or 28 is a little more signal volatility. don't see why that should make much difference with your stock.
please help me understand..thx
sector still hot, watching MACE, am not used to lightning fast action
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?t=5d&s=RAE&l=on&z=m&q=l&c=artx
IRSN slipped out of upward channel but climbed back in today. EASY BKYI
a smidgeon of volume
am not personally adding but am watching
EASY showing faint life signs and needs volume
BKYI seems to be in free fall...want to be there for the bounce and so glad it's not me in puke mode..max pain threshold? makes me wonder if mm's were forced to short into yesterday's rise and now exacting revenge
GNTA looks great but am late and will wait! BKYI IINT DYNT SPDE
took a .01 loss this a.m. on BKYI. will wait for post earnings apparent consolidation at lower levels
conference call sounded encouraging...don't they usually? but the numbers were kinda numbing
entered IINT after drooling over chart :)
DYNT: shoot 'em if they don't give you sequential rev. growth
http://www.amtdrt.inlumen.com/bin/story?StoryId=CqzrdubWbmZe3Cdy0oty
SPDE: bought on news, volume, and potential chart upturn
http://www.amtdrt.inlumen.com/bin/story?StoryId=CqzrdubWbmZe3CdyZode
TMTA good gap if you are short
http://www.amtdrt.inlumen.com/bin/story?StoryId=CqzrdubKbmZe3yJaYnZK
11M shares at 1.50 from earlier shelf
underscores that TA only goes so far and can be disrupted by unanticipated events. Anyone who claims the charts take all available info into account is wearing blinders
ASTM had a similar hiccup.
BKYI conf call beginning
Do you think Ocpi is making its way to 3.65 next 2 weeks? Nope
What indicators are crossing?
-RSI just poking above 50 looks rather trendless in last 6mo.
-Aroon upside down
+ on the Williams %R
+ on the PPO not quite crossing but...
- on the short term stochs: nearly overbought
- on the PMO: crossover in wrong direction
0 on the MACD: seems tepid
0 on the ADX: not really breaking up thru 20
0 on the ROC: not crossing 0 line to upside yet..may be headed there tho
+ on the CMF: has positiveish money flow
Using the above indicators which i've been using as a bull:bear measure since discovering http://www.investorshub.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=1616
i'd say it's not very exciting.
It appears to me that it's in a continuation pattern and needs a break above 2.40 to become interesting. I make 2.25 as the middle of an upward channel marked by the mid august low to the mid october lows on the downside and, on the topside, a line thru the HODs on 8/18 8/24 9/3 10/4
Please refute this analysis.
Here is a similarly priced chart that hit a "lowpriced flyer scan" of mine today. don't own it or know anything about it but the indicators are way more dynamic and positive imo. Like so many things in nature you can just tell which is the more beautiful pattern
p.s. based on who i see has been posting on IINT in the last day i'd be looking to jump on this pup bright & early
BKYI 3Q04 earnings report
http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/041111/cgth039_1.html
The Company expects growth to continue in 2005, anticipating full year revenues of $26 - $30 million. This guidance is based on the Company's large existing annuity stream of maintenance customers, a backlog of large projects in Ohio and Pennsylvania and the expected increase in revenues to be derived from the doubling of the Company's sales and marketing investments. The Company expects to be EBITDA positive by the end of the second quarter of 2005.
During the quarter, the company announced several important developments including:
-- Completion of the acquisition of Aether's Mobile Government Division
-- Raising $10 million in Convertible Debentures at a $1.35 conversion
rate
-- Deployment of PocketCop(R) at National Democratic Convention in Boston
-- Contract award from National Center for Biodefense Communications
-- Partnership with Verizon Communications for a regional data network for
a consortium of Cape Cod towns
-- Appointment of former NYC Police Commissioner as Strategic Advisor
-- Strengthen management team with new CFO, CTO and CMO
-- First phase deployment of a $7.5 million contract with Pennsylvania
State Police
can honestly say i don't know whether i am glad or not to be without shares. all depends on how market views delayed EBITDA positiveness. considering where it's run previously, and that conversion is 35% higher...
i have no clue :) bookmarked tomorrow mornings webcast maybe i can get a clue if i can get up at 7:30 lol
Best day for me in both recent and non-volatile memory!!! 3WS
3WS is my code for a scan that looks for stocks whose close is higher than it's open for 3 days running AND whose volume has increased in each of the 3 previous days. It is further filtered for volume exceeding 175K (for liquidity) and for issues trading between .50 & $25. The candlestick pattern is known as 3 White or Advancing Soldiers and is particularly bullish after a consolidation with stable prices.
I am using TC2000 for the scan, so there are no BBs or pinkers.Here are today's 10 bright lights in order of 30dy price % appreciation:
DRRX WAB OMM BEAV CPTH SEO SKIL BBI ORI NUS
I am recommending none of these, though i did enter CPTH today, but offering board members a picture for further study. From a first glance looking at OMM one might presume that the oil/gas shipping sector may be gunning for another run. My predilection is for the oversold bouncers so CPTH is my fav.
we deserve the best and i hope to contribute to ongoing fabulosity
anyone's observations/comments pos.or neg. on these or others of mine most welcome
BKYI has had a late buying flurry; AUDC hod; SUMU .40wall ASTM
can't complain about my gain, but maybe should have rebought

SUMU appears to have a wall at .40
ASTM just posted news
http://www.amtdrt.inlumen.com/bin/story?StoryId=CqzlX0bWbmZe2CdyXotu
don't know why it fell and don't know if/when it bounces but it's on my screen
SUMU .365 geez am starting to blurt like a pumper
if you're busy keep this for later reviewing but buy a fewK and don't look for 6 months

today's news re. Cingular Wireless and Fuji Photo Film
http://www.summus.com/company_news/pr.cfm?ACTION=Detail&ID=171
FD: have a few K from many moons ago. added more today. previous company founder was a math genious?! with a great compression algorithm (send lots of data in little bandwith space) but no ability to monetize the business. He's gone but still selling shares into strength, but company has turned the corner towards pos. cash flow.
SUMU vol now?
SUMU news just out on deal with Fuji film

VSEC LOW FLOAT SPECIAL with higher share cost think potential %gain
www.vsecorp.com
2.22M shares OS
1.10M float
50% insiders
5.6% institutions
spoke with an Oberweis broker Wednesday about the fabulous runs of low float stocks. He reminded me of VSE Corp., one of their new selections for November.
he didn't mention the just announced 11M contract for U.S. Army which doesn't seem to have even hit yahoo news.
gap & run was after nice earnings and recent activity looks like the bottom of the gap is now a support level.
SMSI & VASC were recent picks of his. i enjoy our conversations because he really focuses on FA as well as TA.
not familiar with the 2nd to last colum of the chart

RAE did breakout & Q for boardmembers re. EGHT
longterm..yikes
re. late trading in EGHT. Is it fair to assume that the flurry of sells at day's end means more shares were long and exiting to cash than were short and buying to close? or other forces like a shake or ???
EGHT out breakeven MRVC took .12
reload for tomorrow. MRVC went back to mid 3.70s and now is back at HOD. would have taken another go but too deep in margin. the close will be interesting if it holds 3.88 or so, the intraday high.
gee, the LT looks awesome
MRVC quite the wall ...somone take out NFSC ok? LOL
then tell me about pivot points and not committing capital too early :)
3:00 thank you
TYVM
RAE take your ARTX profit and switch tracks? HOD
EGHT what's with the my intraday streaming chart?
busy chasing SUMU (hate trading bb's) but earnings looked good to me and have owned for years LOL, and my minute chart on EGHT shows wildness from 11:20 to 11:30. Are these late reports on earlier trades?
noticed something similar with DFIB tween 10:30 & 11. was kicking myself for not selling at 2.28 but maybe it was never there. Anyone?
SUMU just reported
may go
http://www.amtdrt.inlumen.com/bin/story?StoryId=CqzgGubKbmZe1yJK2nZm
EGHT adding at 3.34 a support level from yesterday; stop 3.30
50% of difference between HOD & LOD in mid 3.50s
DFIB Bounce? EGHT Bounce?
added both as gaps were filled after the exuberance of the opening evaporated
Geez...GE's (alliterative?&homonymative) marketing the co.s defib. & monitors to hospitals in U.S. and Canada. why is anyone selling? has it run that much pre-news?
wish i'd had a news alert on ADSX, nice trade and nice pop on what i consider "vapornews". FD am long DOC from early this year
another "arf" play: ECGI which i used to trade in the dollar area. had done some DD which looked favorable but then something hit it's fan and now firmly ensconced in doghouse for months. the news seal is leaky so it's possible that something is brewing. am watching
for those watching CNBC yesterday: googlewhack "pixelating fractalization" :)
MRVC adding on presumption of breakout, may be too early for scalpers
"lowpriced flyer scan" selections: CAMD EFJI PPHM VOIPplays
CAMD
2 days of increased volume, hasn't run too fast, hits/exceeds the mark on every measure of the kengoodrich seasonality indicators (i do not pretend to understand all of them but use them as a bull:bear type ratio)
EFJI homeland security play breaking 4mo.downtrend line on volume FD (have a longterm position)
PPHM previously a reliable trader, recent buzz at conference
take a look at http://peregrineinc.com/content.php?id=122 or other info re. their vascular targeting agent technology
FD: long but not long enough from 1.31 yesterday on stochastic reversal
bid for EGHT in AH without a fill..i'd bet there are VOIP plays that haven't gotten traction yet. one of my favorites is AUDC which got knocked back last week on an offering of Senior converts at 2% over 20yrs. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/041103/nyw190_1.html
"The notes will be convertible at the option of the holders into AudioCodes' ordinary shares at an initial conversion rate of 53.4474 ordinary shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances), which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $18.71 per ordinary share. The initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 32.5% over the closing sale price of AudioCodes' ordinary shares on the Nasdaq National Market on November 3, 2004."
these don't look like onerous terms to me, but i haven't looked closely at the capital structure and the investors can bid for an additional 25 million worth over the next month.
am looking to reenter AUDC for a swingtrade soon and own AUDC in a longterm account
Though i'm not an Oberweis disciple yet you may enjoy this: text is straight from their November monthly report

ARTX running HOT AH
very active
http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/041109/96079_1.html
cash flow positive (still a loss due to value of share dividend)
"the gambling hours"
best play may have been a cross your fingers buy at 1.80 near the close and a thank you very much at 1.98-2.00 with the flush/blush of rosy revenue increase.
may run a lot more too. watching LII and seeing LOTS of small trades but not too many big ones >5K shares
CVM hit my Bullish engulfing scan yesterday NMSS tonite

any thoughts...board rockin' rockers?
DYNT took a scalp on today's dip
from 1.85 to 1.95
DYNT does not trade enough volume to render normal TA effectively as a trading tool imo.
When buying at an institutional level does come in it quickly takes out a number of asks and moves the stock substantially.
When short term traders jump in looking for more they get disappointed in the volume/liquidity and often times exit providing bounce opportunities.
November earnings release is approaching and the company does not publish the date.
Am maintaining a substantial long position for capital appreciation in a sector where folks with money whose interests will continue to be protected in the recent election will continue to elect to have procedures to take the lines out of their faces and line DYNT's coffers and investor's pockets....something like that
For those looking at the longer term chart...the volume spike in March was due to a Tobin Smith recommendation (am not a subscriber). I am long based on FA not TA. The stock could move substantially on the coming earnings...either way i spoze.
VRSO sheep volume potential; GNLB Arf Barf volume alert
VRSO showing some renewed volume interest after what appears to be an internet buyer's club flash this a.m. sheep may have a chance to exit gracefully
showing some volume spikes
has been a good oversold bounce trade
when it does bounce it's usually good for a few pennies
haven't nibbled at it yet...will probably watch it go without me
INOD excellent longterm chart
have to go back to 2001 to find similar. volume weighted resistance in 7 area if 6 is breached.
FD: a longterm hold of mine
