No Monk I wasn't aware of them...
I only just found out about your forum here in late Feb. and I've been in the process of moving from West to East Coast. Now I've reached my destination for the time being, but none of my stuff has. Tough to trade when I don't have my eSignal software and all my monitors. I'll be more on the ball come April.
Truth be told, I don't put a lot of money into any pinky play anymore. Have been burned too many times even when the DD looked solid. This board seems to have a good DD group so I tag along and pick up any fallen crumbs you big fish let fall. In the meantime I'm daytrading big boards and futures.
I wasn't greedy...saved some for Walker and others..for now.
Thanks Monk em
Ahhh, a fellow cleanser!
You're speaking of "The Master Cleanse". I did it for 3 days before my move and intend on doing a 10 day or longer in the near future.
Here's a couple of important details you left out...
The maple syrup must be the good stuff, not Aunt Jemima or the other sugar syrups that most people eat on their pancakes. You know if it's good stuff when you're paying around $8 or more for a 12 oz bottle. He recommends organic grade B syrup, which is a little less sweet and dark than grade A, but either one works fine. Also, a big part of this cleanse is drinking a quart of warm water with two teaspoons of sea salt, NOT IODIZED like table salt, every morning while on the cleanse and in the evenings if needed. This helps flush the bowels and it works. You don't want to drink it and then go anywhere for the next hour or two or you may be in for a messy surprise if you're caught somewhere without quick access to a toity!
If you Google "the master cleanse" you'll find more info on it and the Doctor who started it. He was actually helping people cure cancer, diabetes and other diseases with it but was stopped because he didn't have a license.
And people wonder why I'm not married.
Highly recommended...

The easiest way to stop a lot of people from smoking pot is to legalize it. Yeah, you'll have the potheads that will smoke every day, but for the most part it would be just like alcohol for people who turn 21. Once something becomes legal a part of what draws people to it goes away. I drank a LOT more before I was 21 than after, and it seemed to be true of the people around me as well.
As for who is smarter than who, well that's all relative to the situation and environment you're in. I've seen a lot of straight A bookworms become as useless as belly button lint when they had to perform in the real world.
Have a good night.
I'm 39 now, although the fun part of my mind, which is the dominant part, is still about 16 or so. I smoked a very little in college. It never had an effect on me. I would never touch the rough stuff. I drank enough from the age of 17 to 25 to pickle several normal people's livers. Fortunately for me I smartened up and haven't had a drink since. Don't miss it a bit.
You're a smart kid not to get into it. I came to a point in my life where I realized that if I couldn't have a good time sober then I needed to change some things in my life so that I could. I did that and now have no need for it. I'm fortunate too because I had a very high tolerance, especially when I was in my teens. I needed to drink a half a bottle of gin or vodka to get a comfortable buzz. Tough on the liver and the wallet!
I don't remember 18, 19, 20 or 21. I was told I had a really good time though.
Blockman...
I'll do you a favor and bring you up to speed on the NEW hotness in country music. Her name is Julianne Hough. Give her a Goog and see how you likey.
That's interesting Monk. Things that make you go, "Hmmmm?"
You could assume a number of things, like the MM's are not showing some orders to create a wide spread in order to create panic selling and prevent buying. Or, maybe there simply aren't any interested buyers above .06 or sellers below .30, which would certainly create a stalemate until something influenced one side or the other to move. Did anyone place an order inside the spread during trading that didn't show up on LVL II?
Yeah, I have that effect on people sometimes. I think you know in the realm of the markets that the desire to hold a "positive" skew on things can be detrimental to the thickness of one's wallet, so my goal is to view things from as neutral a perspective as I can put myself in and call it like I see it. I lost a lot of money maintaining a positive attitude while my investments sank when I first got into this business. I don't do that anymore.
The nice thing about the markets...and being a trader... is that it doesn't matter if the market goes up or down. It only matters that I'm smart enough to know which way it's going long enough to profit from it. The OTC stocks are generally more news/rumor driven, as well as by momentum traders, so I tend to view them as their own fairly separate little world to play in.
The ES, (S&P futures) gapped open today under the November 739.00 low and there's a good chance it's going to close below that. Yesterday, in my first post on this board, I commented on an inverted head and shoulders formation on the 60 minute chart for the ES/S&P. Price went right up to the breakout point but didn't break out. It was a beautiful formation and probably baited a lot of longs to jump in prior to any confirmation of a breakout. Now those longs are feeling stuck if they didn't get out at the gap fill today. So, the formation turned out to be a bull trap for aggressive bulls.
The next thing to watch for, imho, is trading below that 739 price on the ES, (741 basically on the S&P), long enough to get the bears feeling confident. Then watch for a bear trap as the market makes a move back up through the Nov. lows. If it happens, it could be after a week or two or as soon as early next week. There is RSI and MACD divergence so far on today's lows, which is indicating the possibility that a rally could occur from here if we don't go lower in the ensuing weeks, bringing the RSI/MACD lower than the Nov lows.
Addendum: If a rally is to occur soon, you want to watch for a capitulation day where there is a strong downdraft on higher than avg volume. That would be a good sign to watch for a bear market rally. Ultimately though, I don't see how any rally at this point is going to start a new bull rally. Everything I read is saying there's more rough going ahead before things start to get better. Just my opinion!
Hope this makes sense/helps.
Have a great weekend.
Rich
Not today.
I certainly hope so!
I wouldn't bet a dime on in Block.
Hello Sir,
Technically speaking it's too soon to say a bottom is in on either. Again, technically speaking, CDCH would first have to get above .015 resistance and then hold that as support and move higher. That would be the first sign of a possible bottom. Right now price and volume, the two things that practically every technical study is made from, is looking very promising.
As for MDMN... same thing with the .008 price, and only then would that be an initial sign that the bottom could be in.
Having said that, it's tougher with pinks because, by the time the bottom is confirmed you've already missed a good portion of the initial move, if not the whole thing. I think you and I would both agree that this isn't likely to be the case with either MDMN or CDCH. Lots of upside potential here for those wise enough to see it.
I presume that you good folks here have been made aware of CDCH and MDMN?
Very nice indeedy!
I find it very interesting how there are so many posts of biching and bashing on this board when the stock was slowly sinking, but now that it is up 13.75% on very strong volume there is nothing.
Things that make you go, hmmmmm?
(Rhetorical question)
Have a nice day shorty. By the looks of the pps your time may be up soon.
Night folks. Thanks for the heads up on this board Blockman.
I'll do what I can sir.
Aye Carumba! Si Senor.
LOL I just have a vivid imagination. Sometimes gets me into trouble, along with my mouth.
Well, technically more like a grouper.
I've got to get used to this posting stuff again. You guys are so quick I'm getting dizzy.
If you look at the one on the left long enough she starts to look like a flesh colored fish with sunglasses on.
Here's a couple links that may be useful here:

I got dibs on the skinny one in the pink.
Well then I'm living in all the wrong places! I think the next place I go will have them. Should be a good spring break spot. I'll keep you updated in case you run out.
You can buy 21 year-olds??? Where? I could use a couple.
Thanks Monk. Me too.
I've noticed! I'll do my best to add to the fun. I'm a TA guy so happy to help out in that capacity. Unfortunately eSignal won't let me post my charts here but I can share via email if anyone's interested.
I won't be around much for the next couple weeks as I'm moving to Florida but should be back in full swing around the 2nd week of March.
Thank you Monk. Happy to be here.
Wow! Only about 4M shares to get through the 0003's? Nice.
That was me nibbling on XYTS today. Blockman turned me on to this board and the stock. I don't have the cash to buy more shares at the moment and I'm in the process of moving cross country, so if I have another shot at it in early March I'll grab some more. If not then I'll just have to enjoy the ride with what I have.
Just a little head's up for you chart watchers... Take a look at the ES/SPX/SPY 60 minute chart. Inverted head & shoulders formation on the verge of a breakout. If ES breaks yesterday's high of 779.50 we might be off to the races. Just beware the false breakout!
If the breakout is real you're looking for a measured move, (i.e. target price), on the ES to around 819.25. On the SPY the breakout comes at about 78.45 with a measured move to around 82.43, although watch for resistance around 81.25-81.50.
Take care.
Rich
