JCP - helms brought up a good one and like auro says the herd is sometimes slow to respond. This is the foresight these guys have. They are looking farther out than us. great job helms.
If you knew how many companies have moved there and have technology ripped off it unbelieveable. Mexico mob and china goverment makes for a good case to bring home american jobs. The just have to make it economical for companies to retool here.
Seems like they will have to do something because the china goverment has assure that the get a piece of the action. BIDU is one of those that nobody really knows the insides of just because of the accounting problems. Apple pretty careful with who they pair up with and might be a smaller dog in the race somewhere. But stocks love rumors.
Nice scan and chart list. Here are the one's catching my eye.
Bidu because of the other message.
CMG - if you look at this you see that 380 is still possible with the view of the chart. That is a forty dollar still left in the play. Watching it and timing it could be nice and we have seen how this can have a big payout.
DRYS - there is a sym triangle in this of the two high points so I am not sure why it not there on the chart but if it breaks that and the ma's she finally runs.
FSLR - huge if it breaks 25 here. Confirms a new trend. Some will say up but there is 3 trends. Down, sideways and up. So that will leaves two choices and until we confirm we dont know
ISRG - seems like there is some left on this. I really dont know anything about this. I do know that helsm and denny has been watching it. It looks like a upward run will probably see 540.
BIDU - for those learning charts here is a perfect chart pattern with in a chart pattern. The first pattern is the downward price channel but a base line bottom is has been set at 110ish. This now starts a decending triangle or a consolidation area between the base line and the top purple line. Most these formations consolidate and then continue down. There is a % of how many this they continue down. I tend not to fall into this camp do to the fact that I think it depends on the overall market and that market can make a stock use or has to eventually go through this formation for a reversal. So might see this ping pong ball with this formation 3/5 times before breaking out. Playing top to bottom and bottom to top can be very profitable.
I hope so. Like to see 710 before e/r next month.
Good job naino
Welcome ddt. nice to have you and look forward to seeing some of your scan results.
ZNGA - liking this one a lot Helms. Not sure you have to rush in but the oct's are getting some great action and if the the 50m gets broken then 5.00 becomes very possible.

OIL - watch your oil stocks, looks like a index breakout.
ffiv - bought setp 110c @ 0.49 stop set at 0.35.
azo - You can make 1.25 per dollar move with $3 can be seen by looking at the 100 or more. If your watching the 3m chart watch for the 50m to hk up.
NFLX - I do like it but the just following the charts. I did a little looking into the dec. options. The dec 70's had 211 x 100 per contract 21,100 x 2.93 avg price = $61,823 so far today and it has an open interst of 2,285 x 228,500 locked up x 2.93 avg. current value = $670,000 laid down. If that become itm at any point you looking at 3x the return for them.
Plays with in plays! Hard red day. Be nice to see how the options price on the dec. 70 have flexed recently.
By the way great stuff you sent me.
DRYS - I wouldnt do anything until that 60m charts techs reset to the bottom before going to oct. dont know if this is going to 2.52 or 2.42 yet. There plenty of time to get in and you might see the 3's go from 05 to 02/03. imo Some big O red candles.
NFLX - yes there is two things one is are retest of the lows and two a high level of oct put options around $50.00. The other thing is on the weely it dipped under the 400ma and has not been able to crack it then she will beging to fall hard.
FFIV - looks like the 110 is the best buy do to the fact it takes $3 move to double vs. the 115'S. I never heard that if a delta if .050 you buy. If you had a 0.50 on a 5.00 stock then it is a 10.00 move in stock price to double vs. the 110's were a 3.00+ move doubles. I guess it depends which of the two has the better chance of doing it in the least amount of time.
ffiv 112.82 200ma is something to be repected so first play may be there.
What is interesting is that the options levels on the call side are high from 100 and then comes down to a low of the 145's but then starts picking up about 155 through 170.. interesting levels
Have e/r on oct 24 so may be expecting run up or run up and good results.

Doe you find this realable and what do you expect from this list.
IBD 50 at #9.
I dont have the capability to pm anymore. I like alexed and believe he posted here before and some interesting deep thinking. I read more on Mondy.
Sector rotation is huge expecially for going long. I believe sdh mention that techs may go down in interest and retail might be the next one up. On my charts lists I have it broken down in sectors and in those sectors are my go to stocks.
One thing I picked up on looking at the finviz high short levels that if you expand the list to to include industry "any" you will see that some of those sectors will show up. When you get a sector coming in and a high short float then you getting a secotr on go go juice. Have played this with homebuilders (my sector background) and finiancials. The current list of sectors with high short floats are: xlb - materials, xle - energy (winter coming), XLB - finicials, xli - industry, xlp - consumer staple, xlv - health care, xme - comsure discret

What was nice about the two charts gb5 and you posted is they went well together to form I nice overall picture. If she breaks out of gb5 sym triangle then an early jump in is worth the risk.
CHK - DA that a great chart you did and gb5. I liked it so much I wanted to do some deeper look and notice puts have out numbering the calls. Not saying it not a good chart or possible play but my need to have some stops trailing it. I thought e/r was coming soon but they are scheduled for after oct experations. Could be a short run up to top of the downward trend line and back down.

chk - just another fantastic chart on this drawn by da. this one shows that there might be a play from 20.52 to 22.50. So with this few I might take the oct 25C on that low break. If it hits and stalls on that 22.50 I made enough and it it continues then a possible 17 bagger. Just need the market to push.

might look back at last couple of e/r to see if you can see what the avg move was. I really dont have a clue. Had hard time trading azo.
What is your read on the overall e/r. good or bad. If it good then you might move faster on the calls since premiums are low. Not like you have to jump in the first five minutes but if the price starts up monday then by the calls first and later in the green day the premiums will be out of the puts. imo
anything under 78 and she really falls.
my wife puts in the catagory of the three stooges, is that a bad thing?
Real gutsy move is buy the 390C @ 0.20 and pays about 0.25 per dollar or for a $40 jump in price that option would be about be around 10.25. The 310p 0.75 ($75) would become worthless So your calls become $1025- $75.00 (puts) - $45.00 in trading cost = 905 or 5x you investment.
The puts would probably go from 0.75 to 7.50 or $750 - the call $20 - 45 comm..
You really want to get a feel for what a $30 dollar move did look at the thurs close to the friday close when the price dropped $30.00.
The risk is you get 1/2 and loss some on both sides and the other risk is the pusts have high premiums so a fast sell would be needed because those premiums will be sucked out really fast after earnings. Appl taught me that. Opens sell dont think if it bad. If it good then you might see $2 roll in on top of estimated price as people pay more for it.
What is your target on azo?
I just glad it made it to the post. I fell asleep and woke up and it was gone. said to myself I wasnt going to type all that up again.
BIG chart looks good but would look better once it gets into the gap.
The sept 32.50c 0.25 option price is paying 0.66 on a 1.25 dollar stock price move. possible 364% return.
The octn32.50c is paying 0.58 on a 0.95 price and a 1.25 move in stock price so we would need a $2.00 moe to double.
Almost moved a $1 today so it possible.

i be looking later, I think i have 200 posts to go through on bagmans board today. They are a yaking like hens. lol no it is good to see them posting over there.
what helms isnt telling you guys he trade it like four time on friday. 100%, 100%, somethining like 80% and not sure how he closed out.
One stock for times in one day.. That a big yippeeeee!
This is a perfect of example of mutitaking trading or trading one thing with the right hand while the left hand is trading another.
Greeat job flo.
Flo plays warrants if anyone is interested. I have no clue to how they work but if flo is playing them then I know there is safe money to be made. Cover calls is one she trying to teach me.
Another smacker. Yippppeeeeee! 3 bagger! Man are we seeing some nice returns here.
