HEC - new news - proposed increase of shares by 50 Million

http://secfilings.nasdaq.com/filingFrameset.asp?FileName=0001144204%2D04%2D000160%2Etxt&FilePath...

100 x 800 shares

Tourpro - 14.80 x 14.78 (yes, bid higher than ask)

FMDAY - in at .63 in AH - eom

HEC - it is tempting here, but I think it has more legs - running downhill! I believe a fib # is around .89, and the 50 DMA may be up to meet it there at that time. The 32-day DMA is .90

Any thoughts on this???

CIO, RCO, CRDM - in

at .28, .57, 1.08, respectively

out of HEC at 1.14 (yesterday) - may get back in on a further dip
pissed I did not sell at around 1.30

HEC - on a more serious note-
volume spikes continue to be accompanied by price spikes - this confirms for me that I'm just going to forget about it until January, and hold it.

Brig - Great! I'm looking forward to
the BJ! Thanks for the "heads up"! LOL

HEC - I only have a cursory understanding of E waves, but if I am not mistaken, HEC seems to be just starting the upstroke of the fifth wave right now. Then, there should be that a-b-c pulback, and if the stock is for real, we will embark on a second "macro" leg of five smaller waves, and so on. Am I all wet on this?

On looking at the hourly chart, I see that it is possible to interpret as being at the start of the fourth wave.

If I am right, does anyone see $1.50 for the next wave?

HEC - In re-looking at the hourly chart, one could even conceive that we just finished the third wave, not the fourth. Hard to read these wave thingys sometimes.

HEC - I only have a cursory understanding of E waves, but if I am not mistaken, HEC seems to be on the downstroke of the fourth wave right now, and we have a fifth wave to ride up on.

excel - thank you for that - I printed it out to read to my kids.

dashrip - taxes

It sounds like all your gains are short-term capital gains (i.e. stocks held for less than a year). If that is the case, I believe your gains will be taxed at the same rate as ordinary income, which varies depending on how much money you make overall in a year. Your short term capital gains add to your income, and could possibly push you up a bracket. The following link is to a tax table for 2002. By the way, all this information was valid for 2002. I don't know how much it has changed for 2003.

Congratulations on your 11-bagger!!

Buzz - thanks a lot - it was just a wild guess ;)

Good cheer, peace. love and happiness to you and your family.

P.S. I think my chart reading skills have risen to about a mediocre level, but my trading skills sure do suck! I missed AAC at .61, then at .62 that day. So, I bought HEC at $1 after hours, only to watch it dip to .90 almost immediately the next day. I am holding the HECs, though, so it seems to be working out in the end.

Good luck!

Holding all my HEC and going on vacation. Happy holidays everyone!!

Going on vacation - holding HEC

I'll see where it is in January!!

Merry Christmas, etc. everyone!!

HEC - thank you note:

Thanks DeeDee and Capitalist

Thanks OMNI for a great board.

HEC - question_

1.10 - someone said big wall there (BLIZ maybe?)
1.24 - OMNI hopes for this number
1.30 - resistance stated by another member (sorry, I forgot who already, even though I read it a minute ago)

Where are these numbers coming from? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but my chart reading skills still have some holes. TIA

HEC - by the way, nice volume today :):):):)

Painterguy - HEC - Thanks, nice bit of intelligence! I was going to ask if anyone had any estimate of an intraday peak before a retrace, but if Calandra is going on Marketwatch tomorrow, I don't think I want to risk jumping out.

I know it's really there, but I think it is fake in that the intent is not really to sell at .62, but to induce people to undercut it by selling at the lower bid.

AAC - Hell with it, I'm guesing it is fake and I out in my bid for .61. The 50-day EMA is at .61, and .61 happens to be the fib number for the retrace after the rise from .42 to .92. And, .61 is more of a retrace than other respectable people on this board called. And, and, and, just because I can't stand not trading.

AAC - does anyone think that huge ask on AAC at .62 is a "fake ask"?

AAC - that's a big sell order at .62 - I was contemplating putting in a bid at .61, but that big order to sell makes me say, "wait a minute - let's see, um, what am I gonna do?"

DIO is a creepy stock - I have come close to pulling the trigger several times, but bailed at the last second. I think you can do well when it sags to .27 - with the potential for a big gain in one day.

Buzz - HEC - I sold at .87 - kicking myself (just a little, as I can't comlain about a profit) - hoping for a retrace to low .80s - what do you think?

Does anyone think HEC will retrace to low .80s?

HEC - After hours quote - hi vol hi price = good

HEC - look at this one:

http://finance.messages.yahoo.com/bbs?action=m&board=7082325&tid=hec&sid=7082325&mid...

Partial fills are not counted separately at Ameritrade or Freetrade - if you only put in one order, and did not edit it, it could partial fill 100 times in the same day and you would got charged only for one trade.

However, if you have a GTC trade (good til cancelled), and it partially fills one day, and finishes filling the next day, you will get charged for two trades, if I remember correctly. When that happened to me once, I started doing only good for the day trades.

ceez - I think .61 - but there are other opinions out there.

BUZZ - Congratulations on the engagement -
may your marriage be as successful as your stock trading!

HEC - another "kindbuddy123" comment - LOL

EAG - I also see this hitting 1.20 before going back up in any sustained manner -- unless of course a killer PR, which is rumored - comes out before it hits that low.

AAC - I see the "handle" on this "cup" hitting .61 before a sustained rise. Any chartists out there think I am screwed up in the way I am looking at this chart? I think the cup-and-handle formation shows up most clearly on a 3-year daily cahrt.

Any opinions on DIO?? Thanks.

PS - Freetrade is basically Ameritrade pared down to the basics. It is run by Ameritrade.

DRcushty - Freetrade - 20 free trades a month, then $3, $2, $1 for next #'s of trades - everything you do has to be online. Unlimited trades. Customer service by email only. No one answers phones there. It is great if you can live with those restrictions.

EAG - Breakout should occur mid- to late next week - reaching tip of pennant. You might be able to pick some up at around 1.20 -- but then again, maybe not!
