The ibox has been updated. Current pps are those for close of market 4/20/09 and percent gains have been calculated.
The "highest percent gainer" in each chart has been colored green across the row to make it stand out.
If anyone has suggestions for the ibox please feel free to submit them.
Don't know, but mine(CERS) dissapeared out of my account. When I checked found I had put in a gtc sell for 1.05 and they took it out first thing in the morning. Forgot about that order. Well, profit is profit, I'll use it on another play.
augusta,
Great call on SCON. Ninety percent gain in one day? Wish I had got in, but sure there will be others.
I sold half at .60 (SIRI) just to take the profits. Guess I should have sold it all to buy back lower. Still learning.
Catching up the ibox now. Here is a list of the stocks currently followed there and how they did today.

Bad day for the market overall, with the DOW down 289 points. but we did have some winners. BWTR, CNXT, and KOG were each up about twenty percent Monday. The big winner SCON up over ninety percent. Nice one day gain.
Thank you Langlui, Matt24D, MudTurtle, and augustafriends for yesterdays leading picks.

That is what I like about this board. Dow down more than 200 points and I am making money.
I was thinking of selling too. Sold half last week and was holding the rest for at least .50 Now I wonder how high it could go before earnings.
Thanks, I'll check it out.
I am using chart school at stockcharts.com to learn charts. Can you reccomend a good book?
SANM - .50 on the ask
I sold TMR earlier in the day and bought SIRI. Glad I did. But I only took a twenty dollar loss and SIRI is up, up and away.
SANM - I was gonna sell mine before close today. Now I think I'll also keep half. See what next week brings.
SIRI - Boom, now let's get into the fiftys.
What are your thoughts on OSCI ? Seems to be stuck at .12
I got in at top and am sitting on 30% loss. Better to sell and use the money elsewhere or wait it out? I was thinking of selling at least half.
Guess I should have asked before I sold 2000 shares VG this morning. Took a small loss.
UIS up 20% in premarket.
Lucky for you. Wonder what time this will open. Some people like to play the Q's. Think I'll stay away.
Bet you're glad you did not get them .95 shares.

TMR and SANM - I'm a just a little red in both and looking for that breakout.
FNSR - Put a sell in early afternoon for .72 and that pop at the end of the day caught me.
In @ .52 out at .72 Looking for another winner.
Thanks again, I am watching closely and will decide before day is out. Probably not pick another play until tonight anyway.
Thanks for confirmation. (FSNR) I was gonna try to sell at .67 - .68 range and use the money for another play. Quite a bit on the ask at .68 and .69
Augusta,
What you think about FNSR? I'm up 30% and thinking about cashing out, but looks like it continues to move up.
Thank you for your "opinion", I value it highly.
I'm in both TMR and CERS. When stocks start moving up I get nervous and sell for the profit. Watched too many go up and then back down. Think this time I will wait a little and then just sell half.
What is your target for cers
Yes, I am making money. Would like to make more based on my own decisions. Not that I don't appreciate the help, but would like to understand why it is a good time to buy or sell when I do it, instead of just following the plan of others.
I also lost a bundle in the market, mostly because of emotion. Have been trying very hard to learn to read charts(using chart school at stockcharts.com) and my profits have increased.
Augusta invited me here and I have been reading the posts everyday. I love to see all the charts and hear which indicators people are watching to decide when to get into and out of a stock. It is very helpful to me in learning to read the charts myself.
My heart couldn't take it anymore. I sold at $3.73 from $2.78
Up too much yesterday and today. I'll get back in on a dip.
Best ATM. Of course I make money here only to lose it on my other plays.
trader
I'm one that sold. Only about 100k shares. Down five hundred bucks and not willing to take a bigger loss. Made some profit last week flipping this, and thought I would stay around for awhile. What a mistake. Luckily I can take the loss today. Up big on SFI so I'll still have profit for the day.
Good luck to those trying to stick it out. The product is great, but I'm not so sure about the stock.
Been flipping in and out of SFI daily, glad I kept some overnight.
$3.36 high so far today.
Finally, got past that three dollar mark.
Holding some $2.78, sold a few at $3.00 yesterday.
Glad I held out on the rest. $3.29 is the high so far today.
In reference to PGYC you said:
Does it not strike you as simply LUDICROUS that they first come out with a buyout PR of .057 cents. Then, after seeing the market didn't care about a realistic sounding buyout price, they immediately come out a buyout offer of 42 cents a share. Will people actually buy into this crap?
Where did you find this .057 price. The only references to price I can find are " Negotiations are underway and management expects to settle on a price by no later than April 10, 2009, whereby the price is expected to be in between the latest offer of $0.33 per share and the expected price of $0.57 per share."
Can you direct me to where you found the .057 referenced.
Thanks,
trader
Disclosure: I do not own shares of PGYC, but interested in a flip.
Yeah, and I flipped at $2.99
Made profit, but should have waited 'til the end of the day.
I'll be looking for a dip next week to get back in.
Soapy,
ibox looks great!
I flipped this one a few times last year. Looks like it is time to take the long view now.
trader
I always buy at the bid when accumulating shares if the pps is trading sideways.
Once a run has started I buy at the ask or just sit out and watch.
Rally? Don't know about a rally, but I do see steady increase in pps since before lunch. Higher highs and higher lows.
RS? Where do you get that information? And don't forget the 6 billion shares won't get into the float until three years from now when the notes come due.
Buy at the bid? One sure way to kill a run!
Down for a couple days and back to that $3.00 resistance.
Still good for flips, if that's what you like.
20-30 cent range some days.
