SYNM, grabbed some of these at 1.00, we'll see how it does
Needs to get above 1.00 and hold to maintain Nasdaq compliance
CMOS chart
I just grabbed some CMOS at 1.31, chart looking nice on it and looks to be strung pretty tight from the way it has been trading
yes it is
I have noticed in the last couple days that you can just about predict RAMR's move by watching ABK, MBI and SCA. All three of them seem to move together and RAMR usually moves with them but is delayed just a bit
Stocks Ready for a Higher Opening; Microsoft Bids for Yahoo; New Hope for Bond Insurers
http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080201/wall_street.html
ABK, MBI, and SCA all up in premarket by big gains
Should be a good day for RAMR as well if those three hold
AAPL up almost 2.00 in premarket
SPY up 1.3% in pre market
we should see a green open today the way things are looking
ABK, MBI, and SCA all bond insurers, all making big gains in pre market. If they hold or rise more market should do very well today, especially with the Microsoft news mixed in with it.
New name Yahoo + Microsoft = ya micro hoo's soft
SCA and ABK Printing big gains in pre market
SCA 3.89 last print, closed at 3.15 yesterday up 23.5%
ABK 14.40 last print, closed at 11.64 yesterday up 23.7%
Good sign for a big market day if the bond insurers have big gains

NTE Chart
It's dropping fast and sharp, I'm not even going to speculate how far down it will go, could turn tomorrow, could fall another week or two. Either way it should be good for a bounce when it finds bottom.
ACUS Chart
The pinch isn't as tight as it was towards the end of December but I'm of the opinion it is just now about to come into play
Any thoughts??
BE chart
I posted this one a couple days ago. I still think it has some potential for nice gains. IMO it will pop when we least expect it
NYNY chart
Another coulda shoulda woulda play. I watched it drop under 1.00 and then begin to rise but for some reason just didn't pull the trigger on it. It needs to hold it's ground here and break through the resistance around the 1.50 area to show it is serious about retaking some of its lost ground IMO
AIRN Chart
Has consolidated well, needs to get some gains and get out of it's current channel. Chart not looking bad at all IMO
SYNM Chart
Another nice looking chart with pps at .99, another addition to my value menu tonight. Considering where this bottomed at I'm betting some traders holding some bigger chunks have been taking some profits. This may or may not be why it will run up nice then drop suddenly on the intraday. I stretched this one out a little over 8 months to show where it has came from before the drop as well. May be worth watching IMO.
Daily
5 minute intraday
ACUS chart
I'm usually not real big on stocks under 1.00 but I changed the settings on my pincher scan tonight as most of the plays between 1.00 and 5.00 I've already looked at several times and wanted to see what was just under the 1.00 mark. I like the way this chart has set itself up and looks like it may have some potential to it. I'm adding it to my watchlist tomorrow and may consider a buy on it depending how it trades. It is a Nasdaq stock and it had a tremendous spike in volume today. Indicators are looking good coming off bottom as well.

I'm thinking you are getting good at this. I like all three of those.
As for AAPL. Just the swing on it today from LOD to HOD was over 5.5% One could do well just making a couple flips on the ride up.
Door #2 did have a large sum of cash behind it but the security guy we hired was a previous CEO for a pinksheet company. Hey he was out of a job and needed work and we felt sorry for him. Needless to say he took the money and even stole the door knob.

even if you only make 100 trades a year, that is another $500 in the pocket.
nice recovery here today, I was out and missed it but still holding onto what I have. I wish I would have added more on the dip this morning. Guess you can't win'em all.
Monty says you can stick around at no charge and have a free shot at post #1500..........lol
ITI 5 minute intraday chart
I wasn't too impressed this morning when it had zero volume the first half hour, then when it did trade it dipped but patience paid off in the last half hour. I don't know what lit the fire but it burned through some nice orders that last hour. I'm thinking tomorrow may test and likely break 3.00
Thank you for checking that out. I'm not 100% sold on it yet and like you probably won't transfer my whole account but I am leaning towards funding my account and giving them a shot. Keep us posted if you don't mind as it will probably be a couple weeks before I make my move.
I just got in myself, looks like I missed a bunch of nice action today with the dow being up 207 points. I hate it when I'm out of the office and don't get to watch anything, especially on a good day. Oh well maybe some day I will be able to trade for a living instead of working. Hey it never hurts to dream!
Well, looks like I missed out on a nice day. I was out of the office most of the day and not able to watch any of the action and just got in about an hour ago to find the dow closed up 207 points. Big change from what I was able to watch at open this morning.
It's a gem for sure, I got in a little high on it and wish I would've waited but you never know how it's going to play out til it is done. My only concern is the lower volume, however that is usually the case with most AMEX stocks. ITI only has 33 million shares outstanding to begin with and that slows it down a bit, especially when many holding it are waiting for the gains.
13% of shares held by insiders
43% of shares held by institutionals and mutual funds
That doesn't leave many shares out there. It will just take it a bit longer but I believe it will get there.
RGR, Sturm Ruger & Co
Another gun stock worth watching. It took a hit at same time SWHC did. Interesting thing with Ruger is that they are DEBT FREE and last month they announced they bought back 2.2 million shares on the open market. This equates to roughly 10% of shares outstanding.
SWHC, I love the stock and the M&P is doing well but it could have done so much better had they changed a couple things in the design. Had they done this they may have gotten some of the LE market from Glock who currently dominates the LE market for sidearms. Just my take on the product.
As for the stock it has been severely beaten down not because the company isn't turning a profit but because analysts believe they should be turning more profit. Gotta love analysts.
ITI, Insider purchase of 20k shares 2 days ago.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/it?s=ITI
One thing about ITI that I do like, it doesn't dance with to the same song as the markets. While everything was selling off in the last hour it was creeping upwards.
5 minute 2 day chart
Here's another one that I missed. I came so close to pulling the trigger on this one before EOD yesterday at 6.32 - 6.33 but didn't, would have been a nice gain at HOD today
May be worth keeping an eye on tomorrow after the mess from EOD today shakes out.
I get one right every once in awhile believe it or not......lol
TASR
Great read here as I am a huge fan of Taser International and haven't thought a whole lot of Stinger (STIY) or the stink they stirred that helped TASR drop so suddenly. IMO this will only help with Taser's rebound back up to the mid to upper teens.
SEC Zaps Stinger

Thanks for the info, I'll look into it
I've also started looking into some of the direct access platforms but I'm going to need bigger bank for that. Just a matter of time on that though
MBI news and chart
Credit another one to Rebelgirl from the RAMR board. Fits right in line with what I posted earlier about either the feds or private investors bailing out the bond insurers
Definitely one to watch for tomorrow

No I had not found that one yet, nice, very nice indeed and thanks again.
Amazon 4Q Profit Soars but Shares Sink After Hours on Margin in Outlook
http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080130/earns_amazon.html
I'm thinking this may be worth keeping an eye on tomorrow
great read posted by Rebelgirl over on the RAMR board in reference to CNBC's comments that sunk the markets in the last hour
http://www.reuters.com/article/marketsNews/idUKN3022736420080130?rpc=44
And yes I held onto RAMR today, got a big black eye from it right now but at least I didn't have a huge amount in it. Small enough that I decided to take a chance and weather it out but large enough I felt the pinch. I'll see how it looks tomorrow and may add more to average down.
great read, Thanks!
I agree completely. If I had a large chunk I wanted to put somewhere for a long term investment they would be in the running for it.
Thanks for the input, there are a ton of places out there and all of them have websites that tout themselves as the best. IMO word of mouth is always best.
