Thats some nice volume there too... cant be Cramer, his pumps only last a day or less... : )
I took some TWM long at 15.05, but not expecting much out of it.. Whats funny for me lately is? whatever I expect when I first turn on the TV at 5am? the opposite seems to happen.. Good day turns bad? and bad days turn ok great..
hehe such a broken market in so many ways.. all confused... but it still keeps leaning up.. Carl still believes this down draft here? is just the final stages before we start another powerfull move to new highs.. whatever.... :)
AUMN clearly a winner..t hats the one and only thing I find 'good' about this market this entire year is that on weakness you can easily spot strong sectors/stocks unlike any other time I recall.. its as if the greed is there to play but everyones so damn scared so bids are there in the right spaces..
If not for this FOMC charade id be long TWM here.. but ill have to pass I suppose..that and the holiday trading...
AUMN - I had t his one yesterday and this morning and finally caved the last push under $26 and sold.. Now its holding like a champ and looks higher of course : (
One funny funny trading stock... I cant seem to figure it out no matter how small I allocate! If it closes strong I will have to chase the close- especially with the holiday trading, this ones on alot of radars and could be a nice gapper..
ohhh so is THAT how you do it? Sick of hearing what they have to lie err say so you just shut down eh?
: )
Whats amazing here is the bulls keep bidding.. but not sure how much longer they can shrug things off- especially this fruitcake in KOrea thats just downright scary stuff..
I played AUMN a bit- but that one gives me ulcers the way it moves :)
NEWN- still playing this one AD?
Its a chase.. and the markets weak.. so im long and watching for a break over 8.. a short squeeze of sorts it it happens...
o/t - not that one, but it does look like my style eh?
My house guests have arrived.. as usual, they were supposed to be here tomorrow morning but bam I get a call at 12noon and they are 5 mionutes away.. Somet things will never change, and boy im going to need some stomach medicine to make it through the next week.. what a hassle...
People living in my attic.. great.. only positive here is I go to bed at 8pm and wake up at 3ish, so ill have my time...
: )
DBA - almost bought some of this the other day.. boy I stink...
UEC flying here- uranium.. another one i just sat and watched.. VERY tempted to take TWM but now the markets juicing higher again so forget that.. Dinner is on my mind Hans : ) : )
TSTC- I had some of this at $15, and was ticked it stopped me yesterday after failing to push over 15.5.. Watching it again if it can get back over $15 with some juice..
JAZZ, UTHR hotties.. I aint in anything and it really sarks : )
I had a short on the market earlier in the week? covered just before the collapse.. Went long yesterday some, sold at the close.. I think the only positive thing i did was not getting back long the TWM last night whew : )
Came into today with like about 5% exposure which is basically crash/safe mode levels so once again I miss the party.. this entire year one big pain in the rear, no consistency..
and of course what do we do now? chase this crap? guess ill wait for that GM ipo so I can get a laugh there.. at least theres no construction next door to me like was the case all this year...
Gap and hold so far.. liquid lunch perhaps, what else to do?
GM -
hehehehehe.. wait, I cant stop laughing you just made me almost choke!!! hehehe.. yeah, im going to get all my life savings and rush into this one for sure.. This one is god bless America, Moms apple pie- I mean you gotta own it if you love this country etc etc all rolled into one.. classic...
I just find it so ironic that all the cash they borrow seems to get paid back with the same thing- tax payers money.. Its sorta amazing how many different ways you can screw people and they still just dont seem to get it or want to get it... wow.. all that 401k cash, all that retirement money sitting... one big gift for all this fraud.. after fraud..
JKS - speaking of china crashes.. and people thought theyd get away with a reality check in some of these :)
SIMG- stopped into more of course :)
Want that $7...
SIMG- its driving me bannanas tho, this whole market is.. but I cant help but be super bullish here- I just dont think they can take us down but this 1180 definately important.. If we cant hold over this into the close ill probably abort :)
I did lower my buy stop on more to 6.21, with this bounce? Ill feel comfortable stopping out on a drop back under 6 if it happens, with upside being 7 or better.. I think this ones going to squeeze hard if it can gain traction..
SIMG - building a position in this 6.1/6.2, w/stop just below yesterdays low say 5.8.. with buy stops to add over 6.3
JKS solar back over 30.. funny it took an offering to drag it down and jam.. strange market..
Tracker in my IRA you betcha.. My IRA had a really good year- funny, the longer term holdings did much better this year then my aggressive trades... but these last few weeks im scoring some huge wins chasing winners like ARTW today was a monster gain off a buy stop at 10.. Im still loaded on that one watching the close/gapper tomorrow..
Ad- I meant to ask you? Your trading off an apple right??? Any issues with compatability etc etc? I am so into this apple hardware right now I sleep with my ipad and ipod.. Its time for a real computer.. gotta do it while some cash is coming in otherwise il cheap out : )
I did manage to fill about 1/8th of the ipod already- 5000 songs.. doubt ill even come close to filling it but all the CDs/cases are now heading into the attic and I just gained alot of space in the living room... Guess ill use that space to showcase my bongs and bowls and such... big grin..
Cool- thanks Steve! Will check it out later.. I really need a change from all this stuff.. and now that my pc is loaded up now with Itunes and I doc the Ipad daily it just keeps getting slower and slower and half the time Im rebooting so java works.. everytime they 'force' me to install new updates the bugs and cracks and flaws appear everywhere..Its just amazing...
My biggest fear is making the finaly move to Apple and then not being compatible with my trading platforms and such..
That AUMN was weird yesterrday- probably the fastest 1 point I ever made.. but I think they released insider buys at the very second I was buying the break so it just 'looked' like the break was that powerfull.. but no complaints :)
I spent the morning setting up my new ipod.. geesh, im now officially an apple cult person... the only problem is they are so expensive? but the next step is r idding myself of this disease called microsoft and spurging for a serious computer.. Just wish the market would start handing me some cash again...
A break over 23 perhaps?
: )
: ( I had quite a few shares of AUMN yesterday? stopped me out at like 19 or so and I just gotta laugh too because I had 2-3 chances to get back in and I was simply too lazy to put a buy stop or even see what the HOD was this morning...
So here I sit peeved and drinking beer.. I never thought in a million years that thing would shoot over 21 let alone 24 the next day..
freakn AUMN.. arrrrgghh..
: )
silly meter reaching all time highs lately :)
Yeah I definately am going to sit on it for a few weeks and look for a break over $30.. Metals have always been confusing to me so I try and treat them less aggressively then some of these micro float/52week high monsters I usually play heheh..
sooooo.. I finally bit the bullet and went to the dentist this week.. I got very lucky in that the one tooth that was driving me insane was a wisdom tooth so rather then spending a few grand to get a root canal done they just pulled it for $150 bucks.. I think next time waiting 8 years before going to the dentist might not be a smart thing.. My parents would kill me if they knew I did that after all the cash they spent on these choppers.. I think my Dad had to work overtime quite a bit for the braces they slapped on me when I was a teenager.. ; 0
Ok last day of the weekend.. lets make some good use of this sunday : )
o/t-
Out in the woods I saw this fella today.. and I was concerned how he let me take his photo so I doubled back later to see if he was in fact injured but no, he was gone.. Turns out I disturbed him as he was feasting on one of your chimpunk friends... :) big bird tho.. the look he gave me as I walked by- I didnt stick around long..

Im calling it a day.. got some lucky gaps on this insanity so not going to push it.. Really peeved I didnt take CTRP the other day.. oy...
So.... whats for dinner tonight.. thats my priority now : )
yeah- had to retrace that after thinking for a second.. The small growth stories are one thing but the bigger picture, banks, real estate.. The market definately isnt pricing based on that junk..
2011 going to be one year of reality checks me thinks.. unless of course im wrong and magically all this is pricing in a spectacular recovery and another bubble..but wait, what can they possibly create a b ubble in now? they exhausted everything they could hype ; )
Sad..
man, what a circus.. in plain english : )
so letsee, we hit 1200 on the sp today.. then 1300 monday.. bah.. irrational exubberance and then some..
REE/MCP- the only positive about this market is that fundamentals matter now more then anything else IMO.. and that provides on helluva edge.. well, im talking in the small cap arena, individual stocks.. but finding a good story is paying off big time..
Heya AD- Im with you on SLW.. bought some yesterday and today for a swing..
hehe maybe I just jinxed you there : (
oh they are killing it now : )
Ya gotta feel for NOVL long termers- theres just never a break ever in the last decade.. geesh!
wow- is that true??? geesh I never knew that..
NOVL really strong.. I really wonder what this thing is actually going to be worth in the end.. Think we will find out in the next few days/weeks, hey maybe it even gets bought much lower then the current price who knows with this bag of bones : )
I think 7-7.25 but that i honestly just pulled out of err nowhere...
o/t- I liked that Mike Capuzzo bit, that was the endorsement : )
Hey- I have no longs right now, how about that.. seems we just keep going up and up and now its nosebleed.. we need to rest a bit before we take out 12/1300 : )
Someone paid $6.99 for NOVL premarket today.. I thought it was all done and over at that point until I realized it was a renegade print : )
Hey- if your bored.. some fun stuff from my buddy..
http://www.mikerodelli.com/index.html
o/t- :) I swear George- no kidding? a few days it actually reduced me to a few tears in my eyes.. Just endless, day after day.. I call it the biggest mistake of my life staying here- most nights id go to sleep and I couldnt keep my hands from shaking out of anger.. Not to mention the sound of the tractors and cranes would stick in my head all night..
I learned a lesson tho.. This town is a small little self sufficient rich town in NJ called Madison.. The contractor was very smart in that he deals almsot entirely with this town?knows all the politicians and the rules? so he was able to virutally do whatever he wanted.. For example, he worked on the 4th of july? and if you calledf the town to complain they simply said sorry, we want this work completed so can you please tolerate it? He worked saturday/sundays, most days starting at 6am.. some days working till 10pm.. I was completely powerless and the town was 100% on his side..
Heck- I use to crank my stereo? but then the cops came and told me if I did it again id get a $500 fine.. at 10am... I was disturbing the construction- go figure..
Suffice to say- now that the markets provided me some coin? This whole ordeal ticked me off enough that Im going to actually spend some coin and bring the issue up with morris county.. I have a hard time letting it all go and I decided to wait till the work was done before going after them. It was bad enough the noise- but then the town being so in bed with him? and then the contractor started to have fun with it and made some threats.. Hes left himself wide open as did the town..I k ept a log of every second they started, and quit each day and every phone call to the town and every threat he made.. Payback will be a b*tch.. because I AM an ass.. never deny that.. wont ever deny it : )

Nice Hans! Im starting to see your strategy of buy and hold playing out real nice on some of these.. Amazing how so many strategies can work if you just stick to them...
Im playing CTRP off this TZOO move.. Markets been beyond fantastic the last few weeks so im trying to make up for the last 9 months here...
So hard to be a super bull here with the fundies as they are.. but this market IS about as bullish as they come..
Hey Phil long time no talk to- hope lifes treating you well???
This week marks the first week in over a year that I have peace and quiet.. the 3 duplexes they built next door are completed and being rented (for $3000 a month, unreal!??!) but man this year I took years off my life because of this noise.... biggest mistake of my life but between procrastinating and then a tough market? it was hard to make a move this year.. big mistake..
Im going to enjoy this winter like no other before it.. hanging out on cloud 9 right now enjoying no noise.. not even a leaf blower will upset me after the hell thats just ended next door..
: )
Freakn about time! I swear when JNJ bought that huge chunk I was soooo disspointed..
Hey- for what its worth? NOVL is next.. and I promise it wont take 10 years.. I think a few weeks and shes gone..
CRXL..my baby.. gone.. forever : )
Thanks AD- posting just gets me in trouble because I get charged during the day and then things come out wrong and well.. So I usually only come out of hiding when Im getting slaughted like the last 9 months, or this month where the last few weeks of august have been gold mine..
Im very very short term tho- so when I chase its usually just grabbing that extra Umph..
You know what I think will happen ultimately of course.. Fundamentals are horrible, government is clueless and confused and more concerned about lining their pockets.. SEC is a joke.. everyones robbing from everyone and each man is out for himself.. I think this rally if I get my way? will be it.. for a long long time.. I see nothing but negatives for the next 10 years especially for America.. Im just riding the PPT wave.. the companies like GE that would have gone belly up had it not been for the strong market and tons and tons of additional shares they added to idiot 401k holders who bailed them out from welches sickening and illegal actions (but yet he writes a book and hes a hero??) .. Amazing how 401ks have been the new way for wallstreet to bail out and steal.. People are just utterly clueless
Its all really sad.. maybe thats why IM on teh bull ride right now because its making me forget t he true underline fundamental rot that has become America...
Too funny- I think Cramers entire career is getting back to even : ) : )
I think the last 9 months has put alot of peopels emotions back in the game and thats whats reflected in what I see at least the last month especially.. Im just going to keep playing it how I do- but when it gets easy like this I dont complain and just keep pushing and pushing.. Hard to get past the emotional beating most have taken this year including myself but if you cant get past it and keep waiting for the market to collapse while its clearly not? Ouch..
This market has had opportunity after opportunity to break down hard under 1040 and each time volume came in on the bounce, and each time it was a great opportunity.. Not being a chart reader puts me in a tough spot to sit and argue my point so its sorta a moot point.. Just not sure what people see on their cycles or charts or whatever other method they use but I dont see it.. Even at 1040 earlier it was clear buyers kept stepping up.. If charts dont reflect that? it would explain why I dont believe in TA or Cycles or other gibberish beyond just very basics..
Couldnt disagree more..
Good luck..
