MLTI = DCUTe Plz Plz oh yes
Let it happen. But me trapped at 0.05 in small. Idea
was to get more lower but lower was <0.01 and now that
mgtment hasn't been forthcoming with any PRs or news
about accounting books, etc...makes ya go hmmm
DCUT had had a seemingly ok track record in Security but
no real big US deals. Some elsewhere. Then went E and .Pk
Never a good thing. Currently in quiet dead zone.
hmm AVR hit low 0.10 again.
Weeks back tipped at .09 and pop up. Leery of these tho.
So many did that to lure in bottom fishes only to drop to
the mud of pond's bottom.
Like DCUT EFLT SMTR etc.

CFTC moves against CBOT trader facing felony charges (CME) By Kate Gibson
CHICAGO (CBS.MW) -- The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission said Thursday it is moving to suspend the floor trading privileges of a Chicago Board of Trade trader charged with 20 felony counts of securities and bank fraud and making false statements to financial institutions and federal regulators. Scott C. Anixter, former chief executive officer of the now-defunct Anicom, is accused of taking part in a scheme to overstate the company's income and earnings by millions of dollars. The U.S. attorney's office in Chicago is pursuing charges against Anixter, who allegedly helped in creating phony sales of at least $24 million while at the helm of the Rosemont, Ill.-based distributor of wire and cable products. Anixter, a registered floor broker for more than 20 years, had his trading rights suspended for six months in 1990 after an FBI sting operation at the CBOT and Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), the CFTC said.

DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Jul 14, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Rafael Macedo de la Concha
and Staff Receive VeriChip for Security Application
VeriChip(TM) Corporation, a subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions, Inc.
(NASDAQ: ADSX) announced today that the Attorney General of Mexico, Rafael
Macedo de la Concha and some of his staff have received a VeriChip for security
applications. Although this was previously confidential, the Attorney General
announced this security application at the recent opening of Mexico's National
Information Center. The "chipping" of the officials was facilitated by Solusat,
the Company's exclusive Mexican distributor.
About the size of a grain of rice, VeriChip(TM) is the world's first subdermal,
radio frequency identification microchip that can be used in a variety of
security, financial, emergency identification and other applications. Applied
Digital Solutions has received numerous inquiries on the subject from
shareholders, but had been unable to confirm the news previously due to
confidentiality provisions in its agreement.
About VeriChip(TM)
VeriChip is a miniaturized, radio frequency identification (RFID) device that
can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and
other applications. About the size of a grain of rice, each VeriChip product
contains a unique verification number and will be available in several formats,
some of which will be insertable under the skin. The verification number is
captured by briefly passing a proprietary scanner over the VeriChip. A small
amount of radio frequency energy passes from the scanner energizing the dormant
VeriChip, which then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the
verification number. In October 2002, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
ruled that VeriChip was not a regulated device with regard to its security,
financial, personal identification/safety applications but that VeriChip's
healthcare information applications are regulated by the FDA. VeriChip
Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions. For more

PCR chart vs S&P - article
Great charts showing Put Call Ratio inverse to S&P up
until recently and how it PCR went flat line.
Longish article so first do fast scan at the 3 charts
just to see how PCR extremes did catch TURNS in S&P.
CBOE.com has the current data in this June article.
http://www.zealllc.com/2003/pcr2.htm
While only time will tell if the PCR 21dma has shattered and is no longer useful, which I am certain is not the case, or whether a new bull market was born in March, which is incredibly doubtful in light of today’s stellar overvaluations, I still have faith in this indicator in light of its long and distinguished track record before March 21st.
Short-term market movements will always be primarily driven by greed and fear warring within the hearts of speculators. These speculators often prefer to make their leveraged bets with put options and call options, so the ratio of these two grand classes of derivatives ought to continue to be highly valuable for contrarian speculators to monitor as they seek to bet against the majority of other speculators and hedgers.
When the PCR 21dma is vindicated in the coming months, it will soar as stocks plunge. As it tracks its bottom trendline today exposing extreme greed and complacency, the PCR 21dma continues to call for a major fall in the stock markets as it seeks to redeem itself as an elite sentiment indicator.

comments: tug of war for Year
CBS MARKETWATCH COMMENTARY Dr. Irwin Kellner
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (CBS.MW) -- Is the economy slowing down or speeding up? It's a close call.
Before trying to figure out where we're going, you have to agree on where we've been. And when it comes to the second quarter's gross domestic product, opinions are divided.
Some economists feel that economic growth picked up a tad during the second quarter. The CBS MarketWatch consensus thinks the GDP rose at an annual rate of 4.2 percent compared with 3.9 percent in the first. See Economic Forecasts.
I don't share this view. In my opinion, growth decelerated slightly in the second quarter, to an annual rate of 3.8 percent. Of course, we'll find out at the end of this month, when the Commerce Department releases its first look at the second quarter's GDP. <more>

thx billy. 7/14 'best day Year'
Almanac/CNBC saying 'best UP day of the year'! go Weds.
Glad ya noticed those. I've been trying to figure some
way to play ones that drop from $1.00 - $1.25 down into
the below $1 weak land.
When strong (LU) then 0.75 might be a 'bottom'. But so so
ones like ERTH DSLN go lower. They need a history and no
squirrels in the attic like AKLM.
Key is to figure the AKLM from livers. MMs rarely dumb
and will toy an AKLM like a cat with mouse. Sport draws
the crowd like three card monte dealer.
Then comes the slam.
Only clue seems to be that if pig doesn't ever show at
least a poke up to 0.50 some time. AKLM didn't.
Still on watch with ECGI, maybe BCON,
BFUN dropping near me. SOS plunged <0.30 6 days now BUT
it has 'going concern' issue which is bad if stock has no
real promise. $11M cap & 39M OS. Not bad. Hasn't yet
gone into teens. Have seen some other storage plays get
blasted and recover. EXBT for one tho in a failing handle
of a 2 year cup & handle now after runup 0.09 to 1.75 with
cap $82M and 350m/108m
These are swing plays. In on swing low. Out on swing high.
Trick is avoiding the blow ups or stales.
Got things like FONR been eyeballing for long while on
no go after had pop/drop. May go to 0.50 or $2 from 1.20
Even GOAM isn't showing anything. Me bad.
Still refining all this.
Do not EVER try this on an UNKNOWN-FLAWED falling knife.
Esp if its Sector is under distribution too. That weak sister
will be going BK for sure.
That's end of my day. later.

Mean Reversion & Mkt psychology
RE: your book reading post earlier - see psych refs here.
Mean reversion" is a common term in the trading literature. It refers to the idea that when a stock is extremely high (or low), it will "revert" to the mean level of the stock. This is a fascinating concept, and we can't cover it completely here today, but mean reversion is an interesting mix of statistics and market psychology.
Another way to view mean reversion is as a "failure to meet
expectations." According to statistical theory, a regression line is used to make predictions, and thus, we can view the line as making a prediction about our expectations. Consider a simple equation that predicts total weekly sales from number of cold sales calls made during the week. Because not all cold calls result in a sale, the relation between the predictor and criterion variables is imperfect, and thus, the number of sales calls made under-estimates the amount of weekly sales. In other words, if we relied on the line to predict how much income we would make, the estimate would fail to meet our expectations. Similarly, if we tried to theoretically use a regression line to forecast the price of a stock from one time point to the next, our forecast would be imprecise. The stock price from one time point to the next does not correspond perfectly. Well…for the concept of mean reversion to be relevant here, it bet! ter not be consistent from one time point to the next. Three assumptions are made when using the concept of regression toward the mean to understand stock prices: (1) the "true" value of the stock is exactly the same at point A and point B, (2) the current posted price is not an accurate reflection of the "true" value of the stock, and (3) the discrepancy between the posted price at point A and point B is entirely due to random factors.
Some of these assumptions are met, most of the time. First, stock prices tend to be based on mass psychology, or opinion, which may fluctuate randomly. The opinion of the masses decides the value, rather than the fundamentals of the company, especially in the relatively short timeframe in which we trade. The actual value probably doesn't really change. So the first two assumptions seem to hold. But is the posted price discrepancy between point A and point B completely due to random factors? It seems to depend. The prices of stocks are somewhat based on the fundamentals of the company, which may or may not change. It is also possible for popular opinion to change and remain stable over the long term. To the extent that either of these factors account for the change in price between point A and point B, mean reversion will not occur. For example, if a company starts making huge earnings and sustains them, both the fundamentals of the company and popular opinion of the company ! may change between point A and point B. The change in the observed price is not purely random, and thus, one should not anticipate the price returning to previous "mean" levels. In other words, one shouldn't expect mean reversion to occur without fail. That said, however, it does appear that many times, mean reversion is pertinent. For example, a stock price often rises artificially due to poor information, which is a "random" effect. Also, during a given time point, the masses may become "elated" and this may reflect a random change in mood that may dissipate over time, and the "true" value of the stock will shine through and "revert back to normal." Mean reversion is an intriguing concept. In the end, it is merely a mathematical theory, but it often applies to trading because market participants are human, and because human decision-making is fraught with random errors, regression effects proliferate.
IVOC GBMI maybes for day actives eom
little market outlook Fortune
Loose Change
Reuters says that last week, we saw the highest weekly ratio of negative to positive preannouncements in more than two years. Nick Raich, the director of research at Zacks, writes that "investors should be raising an eyebrow to the recent earnings warnings." But he adds that over the last thirty days, the ratio of negative to positive earnings preannouncements is roughly the same, which is "a very positive sign." Zacks still expects second-quarter earnings for the S&P 500 to exceed the forecasted growth of 24% versus last year's second quarter.

thx billy on NXIA but...
I could have led with it in subject but I was also bit
too wasted from WEAKend and late type start, plus cable
guy stuff hanging over head. Gotta watch these 100% tho.
Lately they've retraced Fibs a lot next day. NXIA smells
like it fits that pattern, esp when such leading VOls.
Seems less chance for rolly if a stock just slides in
under the spike radar screens. And NXIA is a day fave.
But what's this 'ol growler know - could be next IBZT as
easily as the next flusher. Thought IBZT crawled up more tho and with some positive news story, vs this sudden spiker.
Well, all in all, maybe just a 25% dip then up again.
Just doesn't smell really runny.
More strange AH doings...DIO amex weak druggie w/ the
questionable books - threw a spike up just now $2.75

oh crappy - need a pit play. Not a rounder.
Guess that's trading range thinking.
No more 'you gotta be in it to win it'.
Now, if you in it, they will sin it.
If the stock don't fit. You must quit.
