$TWTR Thoughts
TWTR's chart is bullish and expect it to reach $154 by next week. The past two months shows when the pps candles touch above the upper Bollinger Band and CCI is overbought that TWTR slowly uptrends. Other chart indicators are signaling buy so I expect a slow uptrend into next week barring news.
I put up images of Calls and Puts to show 4/17/15 expys have a huge premium on Calls (like $7) and Puts are basically a gamble being valued at $.05 in strikes near the current TWTR pps. It seems most option traders think TWTR is only going up in the short-term. If TWTR was to tank those Put holders might bank...
$AAPL Thoughts
Support appears to be $122 and resistance around $129 and $133.50. A wedge pattern is developing, hopefully a rising wedge but need more time for pattern development. The indicators are sell but the rising CCI makes me think the rising wedge will develop equally a pps bounce next week.

At this point it's safe to say dilution is pretty heavy right? I'm just trying to be realistic since the a/s was changed from 1.5b to 4b and now 300-400m volume days are the norm? I can't see flippers buying at $.0006 and selling at $.0001-$.0003 at this point as the Ask fell the past few trading days.
It's amazing that 1.5b may have been diluted so far. Obviously some shares have come off restriction before the 2.5 week statement made 3/24/15 on the board. BKAM and NITE are owning us.
Even the 110m or so stated as being shorted from an old note has no bearing with the trading volume seen so far.
My last question I ask myself at this point is who would sell at $.0001? Traders looking to lose money? The optimistic group investors who got in at at least $.0002? O.o . Or is it the restricted shares that are supposed to have 1.5 weeks of restriction left?
Where the T/A's number...
$KO had unusual Put volume 3/30/15. It appears 26k Put option contracts were sold in the 6/19/15 expy and then new ones were written in the 4/17/15 expy for the $36 strike.
I reported in unusual Call volume two weeks ago. The chart is indicating sell still but trading has been sideways the past two weeks.
Thank you M0neymade for that insightful post. Do we owe you anything for all that research and dot connecting. :)
I agree with Cintrix. The iHub trade volume coloring doesn't jive with what's reported at times. I've traded numerous OTC penny stocks and watched my Bid get slapped and iHub would label as an Ask and vice versa. These were trading times when I was the only one on the Bid for the price the trade occurred at.
iHub is right at times but there are other times it seems there's some other classification going on.
$COCP moving up nicely. I don't think it's too late for more gains.
Yep. And I see three tweets after hours 3/27 that made me think it would fall this AM and it did.
Janet Yellen's 3/27/15 speech quick summary:
1) Rate increase sometime in 2015 but not soon.
2) Gradual approach to raising rates.
3) Policy lags so action is needed for the economy before policy is complete
4) Road blocks for the economy still exist, such as wage growth and core consumer prices, and the economy is still weaker than expected.
5) Policy of rate change will follow evolving economic conditions.

Chart Patterns
Take Note - For future reference - patterns need confirmation. Just because a pattern forms it does not guarantee a reversal. Candlesticks and other chart patterns are an early warning system that give a chartist a competitive edge.
Part 1 #SPY long-term perspective.
Most don't realize that SPY is an ETF that has diversified into the top tickers of the S&P 500 and has one of the highest daily option volume. I've attached a 20-year monthly and a 6-month daily perspective chart to show how chart analysis can provide insight into the long-term trend of the SPY and its recent short-term volatility. Between 2011 to now the SPY has been in a steep upward price channel. This is why many #wallstreet experts feel the market is ready for a correction similar to the pps drop in 2008.
Note the really high MACD and its about to fall line from the MA. The ADX line is showing signs of faltering with a slow downtrending +DM as well. Not a positive sign of a market crash yet as CCI is still trending above 100.

#TSLA was around the $20s when a friend came to me and started talking about his thoughts that it was going to jump to the $100s. At the time I thought he had some strong points but didn't invest. A month later TSLA's pps took off as the main media reported on the company's successes.
I came across a stockmarket cycle and plotted the info on today's chart analysis for TSLA. Can you guess what comes next in the cycle? Let me give some hints..."back to normal," anxiety, denial (again), panic, capitulation...
$TSLA has been in a downward price channel the past few months. Puts look attractive for 3/30/15 as the candles are about to touch the lower BB. Keep an eye on CCI for an uptrend from the oversold area its in currently. TSLA's chart shows pps bounces when the lower BB is touched historically.

Leadership ideas
It takes work to trade with consistent gains. You can follow the most popular traders and still fail to make consistent gains. I can tell you to trade $SPY Calls last Friday, 3/27/15, around 2pm but that doesn't mean:
1) $SPY Calls will bounce on Monday, 3/16/15.
2) The right strike was entered to take advantage of a gain before Call expiration.
3) The right expiration was chosen should an uptrend take too long or volatility ensues eating up a particular Calls gains over time.
4) The entry price of the Call options is sufficient enough to garner a gain before expiration.
5) That there's enough time for a trader to watch the charts and quotes constantly for that right moment to profit take.
6) Some economic event or news won't make the market fall.
Many tell me they think I'm the leader of a chat room or board/forum I create. I may be the organizer, and at times motivator, but I want you all to become you're own trading leader.
How do you become a trading leader? There are many resources and articles on the topic of leadership, and though there are some guidelines that can be followed it always comes down to the leader IMO.
Here's a rough guideline I think about when trying to be my own trading leader:
1) Articulate a vision: Mine is to have a million $ in 5 years.
2) Think and Act strategically: Have a trading plan and strategy that you understand. How will your trading effect others in your life?
3) Honor the room: Respect and value other traders talents and efforts.
4) Take charge: You can do the research and make suggestions when seasoned traders are absent.
5) Act decisively: Having a trading plan and strategy should aid a trader in avoiding emotional trades. Only you can make your trade for yourself.
6) Communicate persuasively: Have a common language for communicating ticker suggestions and research. "Buy AAPL Calls" is not enough.
7) Motivate self and others: When a trader is motivated and passionate about trading it spills upon others that come in contact. You may feel motivating others isn't important but there will come a time when the realization is made that trading alone doesn't help one grow.
8) Embrace the front lines: All traders in a group need to participate and communicate research and suggestions. Analysis needs to be debated. Concerns need to be discussed and suggestions for the way ahead made known.
9) Build leadership in others: Blind followers don't make good traders. I just explained above why. Having a team of trading leaders is much more effective and efficient than one leader and the rest followers. Get enough time in trading groups and then let me know your thoughts.
10) Manage relations: Being kind and helpful to others goes a long away to building future trust and interactions.
11) Identify personal implications: There comes a time when a group of trading leaders realizes trading is more than just about themselves. When one trader in the group fails what dies that say about the group? Cut off the failure or help lessons be learned and stronger traders emerge?
12) Convey character: Being transparent about trades is my first step to showing my character. I know that my research, analysis, and trading suggestions effects others and I need to communicate my strategy, ideas, research, and analysis so that everyone understands so trading leaders can be made. I expect integrity and honesty from myself and all I trade with.
13) Dampen over-optimism: Are you prepared for losses? No trader trades with 100% winning trades. A 70% winning record may even be tough to accomplish. Losses are ways for us to learn and become better traders.
14) Build a diverse top team: Discuss trading talents and skills. It will help others identify strengths and weaknesses whole building a stronger trading team.
15) Place common interest first: The goal of trading is obtaining consistent gains. This goal may be different from others in the trading team. You may just want some spare cash. Another trading friend may want less trading risk. The group has to realize what each trader's goals are and then build a trading environment that helps everyone.
Here are my daily thoughts when trading and interacting with trading friends:
1) Network and participate with other traders.
2) Ask questions constantly.
3) Learn from my trading mistakes.
4) Test trading strategies before putting real $ on trades.
5) Absorb trading knowledge and perspectives
I've been lucky to meet a few trading friends who I can still chat with on a daily basis. Thank you guys :). My goal goes beyond my $1 million goal. I want to help others become traders who can trade holistically with consistent gains. Participating, asking questions, sharing experiences, discussing what works and what doesn't, and many other trading related topics is hard work. Working together helps relieve some burdens.
$MHYS is a pink current making SEC filings. It traded at $.0001 3/27/15 and has been on a downtrend as shares are entering the market from issuances. MHYS is a movie producer and we're awaiting release.
iHub posters on the MHYS board are discussing a possible reverse split. This pink current is a lotto possibility due to being at $.0001 and possible reverse split that would possibly give a quick pps pop but then harm shareholder value.

Best option volume on the list:
$KMX
$MU
$COCP is a pharmaceutical company incorporated in DE as an OTCQB status. It's working on antiviral research and has had quite a bit of management and share structure news. The a/s is to be raised to 800m from 200m and many insiders have been purchasing shares as evidenced from the Form 4s. A new CEO took the helm recently and the pps has been slowly moving up. A few shares and warrants have been issued at $.40 as well.
The trading volume has been generally under a million shares but as high as 5m at times. No big signs of dilution.
Keep this on the rare OTC penny uptrend radar.

I see about $2.5m reported via Form 4s 3/27/15. Any indication of when all $15m will be completed?
I'm wondering how many ads will be added until content on the boards is just like 10% of the viewing area. I can see all of these ads being available for non-premium members who don't pay monthly fees, but us premium members are seeing all of these ads also.
Is there another way iHub ADVFN can get more $$$?
$JIVE had unusual Put option volume 3/27/15 for 5/15/15 $5 expys. Why was $1.4m-$2.1m used for 70,000 Put sells the past week? Is this $5 ticker headed for an uptrend soon?

He tweeted right after the market closed...I see he has SpaceX, PayPal and SolarCity in his profile.
Elon musk just tweeted about the Tesla V6.2 having a long charge. Does that mean get $TSLA Calls?
What are your thoughts on $VGTL? Looks to be starting a run on a low o/s (22m 2/15') with 220m a/s. The volume has picked up the past two weeks signaling dilution is just starting to me. It's up 70% on 4m volume today.
I didn't want to mention $PVSP as that's pretty much the same trajectory as $IENG. ;)
$ADMD has been running surprisingly well for a QB pump.
Ya the runners are letting the dilution rip too fast. A/S is 2b supposedly but with the trading volume I'm expecting an increase. Pushed from $.0006 to $.0002 at almost the cost point for done shares issued and some traders entry before the run to $.0007.
Nice old pull back and ready for a rip on $IJJP. Kind of what $IENG is doing. $IENG just had 500m on the Bid at $.0002.
No problem. I'll get that follow and email down for extended convos. I'm happy to discuss options as this my main focus currently. I still dabble in all types of penny stocks.
Asks aren't changing and 5m left at $.0003. Looks like $.0002 is the smart entry. If $.0002 breaks Ruh Roh.
Thx Joey. I'm following @elonmusk via 40404 for tweet texts now. 1.8m followers and tweets once in a while. Like him already.
I follow the big option volume tickers also. ETFs like SPY, QQQ, VIX, USO, etc also. I'm enjoying earning release trades before and after ERs lately as well. ERs present nice catalysts at times when none exist.
You know me from when I traded OTC. I'll let your investigative skills find me. I know you're good at that :).
Here's my Instagram to show my projects the past few months. HighLo Instagram
I noticed you like options now Joey. $JIVE $5 Puts with huge volume as they try to get out. Seems $JIVE may be starting an uptrend on the news lately.
Trading is quite since the open today. 40m NITE wall must be intimidating retail traders right now but the big buyers are waiting at $.0002 should BMAK and NITE decide to slam the Bid some more.
