GEVO still in from 2.25. The last hour was nice. C'mon 2.75!
FSLR highest price since the plunge. Looking for $30 and then I'll decide a target. Slow and steady.
bought at the bell. go up skul.
if it prints 3.30 it'll print 3.20 -- minor gap.
I miss cash :)
still sitting on a 5.45 bid.
I already loaded a 3.69 sell. bet I miss it by 3 cents like Zynga the first spike :(
good fella's board was also talking about it the day it fell. I talked him out of buying till bottom formed with my knife story :) I was going to give it one more day but agree it is ready to bounce - or was till I bought!
ok, two votes, I am in 300 SURG
did not BUY, bidding 5.45 assuming it will go up.
might wait till tomorrow to bid. Need to start reading financials on these falling knife bounces...
(oh my bloody hands!)
my current swing & spike plays:
SGOC - is a spiky POS stock that has failed to hit my limit two spikes in a row. third time's a charm?
ZNGA - swing hold in three different accounts now.
UTSI - bottom bounce swing. out when old baseline approaches. Know nothing about the company.
XIDE - been in it too long but it is hovering around my entry.
NUAN - bottom bounce that isn't bouncing yet.
SNFCA - kicked the tires on the financials and barring a huge mortgage writeoff it looks like it should bounce.
SLTZ - trash. It was too cheap not to see if the pumpers could run it.
USLV, NUGT, PAL, VALE, URRE - core metals positions, Ag, Au, Pd, Fe, U238. long term but will flip. VALE is ticking me off.
SYNM, GEVO - swings on biofuels rampups.
LDK, FSLR, TSL - solar long swings.
SKUL - bidding.
Watching bottom bounces:
SURG, maybe (highly unlikely) STP
SKUL? take the seemingly stable $5.60 or wait for collapse to $5.45 where I am bidding?
added another 300 (edit: averaging UP).
added 300 @ 3.45
true all that. I had head spins at first because you and I have different abilities to watch the market, but you've never been misleading. I value your opinion but I have to filter it against our different trading styles (the difference caused by my day job, not really a difference of style). Similarly Depcom is very successful at what he does but most of his trades are of no interest to me. No need to be abrasive about that, though!
Bottom line is we're all here to make our own money and unless someone starts using the rest of the board as pump and dump marks there is no room for complaint. The advice is worth what you're paying for it... maybe less... unless you add value to the advice by thinking about it.
it has been done. Once it is off the amex it will probably trade grey market whether they unhalt or not. Unsure
I have an order in, but might pull it.
I sold DMD Friday
in UTSI at .79 for a bounce.
I missed reentry by three cents. Guess i should have chased this time. Who knew?
the brain is intended to deduce patterns. Patterns on charts suggest past patterns and the brain (or a computer) sees those recurring patterns. The more people that see and respond in a programmed way, the more iconic that pattern becomes and eventually it is self-fulfilling.
... then people begin to anticipate patterns and react to them in advance (e.g. "golden cross" mania) to the point where old patterns have no predictive value any longer. The brains of successful traders find new patterns and eventually they, too, will become cliché.
not really the topic here but I am considering an options straddle on AAPL. Looks like I have a day or two until funds settle in my options eligible account to consider it.
Most lawyers would advise him to
they can release the halt, but it won't be trading AMEX, or any other real exchange. stinky pinky.
the gas station down the street has more profitable fuel sales and probably offloaded 52 tankers last year as a SWAG.
20 days to cover just means the total short position is 20 times the average daily volume.
A short covers when they can buy back at a good enough profit.
Still see what I see. We will see Monday. One more step down to $400 or fill the gap to $505?
Be brave. Hold the weekend! Kidding of course
If it doesnt break 446 i see 400
AAPL Chart -- critical point here:
Long term descent resistance line has still not been broken and neither has the short term ascent resistance line. They cross at $446. Which line wins?
If the descent wins, I see $400 test next.
If the ascent wins, I see gap fill to $505 is inevitable.
I am waiting for $400 - or at least for options expiration today and further thought Monday or so.
I broke my 10 foot pole so I wouldn't be tempted to touch STP even with it. Board of directors are fighting and swing heard BK rumors.
out DMD - it can finish running now ...
busy day and appointments all afternoon. e-mail me if it is important, but my tools will be limited after 1PM
there have been times I wish mine was ;) good luck.
I would let options expiration pass to play aapl. Jump up today seems suspect, although I do think bottom is in.
it has been a while since I looked but it was never an SEC halt. The company halted it.
good read for those in search of the next bubble (before it is inflated); http://seekingalpha.com/article/358601-6-ideas-for-where-the-next-bubble-will-be
