Okay. I'll be patient.(LIFC) I hate shorting anyway. LOL
LIFC. Getting into bopping territory again????
If I'm not mistaken the streaming quote updates you're referring to are delayed quotes. You have to sign up and pay for real time quotes.
From their web site.

Then maybe you should try sharing some of that research some time. You might like it.
Headman. I've been reading your posts for a while now and I have two words for you. STOW IT From what I've seen all you do is back bite. You haven't made one contribution to this thread that will help anyone buy or sell a stock. We're all here on ZEEV's thread because we want to be. The guy has made more great calls than any of us ever dreamed of, and he posts his buys and sells in Real Time. but ultimately we're all responsible for our own trades, so don't look to place blame on anyone. Do some research and hard work of your own and see if you can make a meaningful contribution for a change.
SCLN. Picked up a little of this old trading favorite on this news. Long at $2.32

SciClone Pharmaceuticals Inc. (SCLN) and Sigma-Tau said that interim data showed that adding Zadaxin to standard dacarbazine chemotherapy, with or without interferon alpha in patients, with stage IV, the most advanced form of malignant melanoma, achieved double the overall tumor response compared with the control group.
Extra results from this trial, including preliminary survival data for the first four arms of this trial, are expected prior to the end of the year, the companies said.
AKAM. May have already been posted. Lots of backing.

Akamai Sees Strong Revenue Growth; Analysts Raise Targets
Friday September 15, 5:07 am ET
Eric Savitz (Barron's) submits: Akamai (NASDAQ: AKAM - News) said at a meeting with analysts on Wednesday that the company in 2007 should be able to grow revenue at least 30% and profits at least 35%. It was the first analyst meeting the company has held in four years, and to read the response from the Street, it was worth the wait.
Deutsche Banks’ Todd Raker raised his rating on the stock Buy from Hold, and increased his price target on the company to $55 from $33. “We have consistently viewed AKAM as the best fundamental growth company in our coverage universe, but we downgraded to hold earlier this year due to valuation,” he wrote. “In hindsight, we have significantly under-estimated the growth in ARPU (average revenue per user) and we are adjusting our financial model to reflect a more aggressive stance on ARPU…AKAM’s value proposition is growing stronger as broadband penetration continues to grow.”

Michael Turits, of Prudential Securities raised his 2007 revenue forecast for the company to $569 million, from $542 million, with profits increasing to 91 cents a share from 81 cents. For 2006, he’s now at 59 cents, up from 58 cents. He continues to rate the stock Overweight, and raised his price target to $51 from $40.
Katherine Egbert, of Jefferies, likewise increased her 2007 forecast; she now sees revenue at $543 million, up from $530 million; her profit forecast jump to $1.14 a share, from $1.10. she’s at 84 cents for 2006. (No, I can’t quite explain the wide gap between her numbers and Prudential’s numbers.) She raised her price target to $47, from $45.
I do have one nit to pick here, which is that Akamai issued that 2007 guidance - its first for next year - without issuing a press release or filing an 8-K. I tracked down a copy of a 50-page transcript of their meeting on a subscription site; the only way for the average investor to track down what they actually said, rather than relying on third-hand reports would be to listen to an entire day’s worth of presentations. Not exactly the user friendly approach, Akamai.
Thanks. Not sure how many more times I'll go short on anything. I've done it a few times now and find it much more nerve wracking than going long. You folks that do it often must have nerves of steel. LOL Thanks again for the advice and support too.
DECK. Covered yesterday's short at $46.36 for gain of 54 cents.
Well. If I get smacked on DECK at least I'm in good company. <g>
Thanks. I was feeling pretty good until you said some of your biggest losses were shorts. LOL. But I understand what you're saying. If you have any advice on what I should be looking for to make a short decision sounder, I'd appreciate hearing them, either on the board or through PM. I have a lot to learn from a technical standpoint. Thanks.
"if you don't generally short, why start now?"
Good question. wish I had a good answer. LOL. Actually, I've seen Zeev, Mars, and a few others do quite well shorting. I don't pretend to be anywhere near their level of expertise, but you've got to start somewhere. I'm trying to watch the technicals, and shorting when it looks appropriate. Plus I must admit that I feel this market is due for a dump. I could be all wet. Thus, the small positions so I don't get burned too bad.
Maybe together we'll beat it down. (DECK) Actually a small position for me as well. I've only recently started shorting stocks and I'm treading lightly. <gg>
"kill it marquis"
I'm trying. LOL Don't know what's holding it up so well, especially on a day when it was downgraded.
DECK. SS $46.90

KLIC. Sold half last week's long for the +$1. Will let the rest ride.
Morning Mars. Can I ask where you saw the info on these up and down grades? I'm not picking them up on Ameritrade. Thanks.

You have more nerve than I do. Keeping my fingers crossed it falls off a cliff (CYMI).
CYMI. Glad we didn't bop it. Look at it keep going up. This whole market is becoming unbelievable. Coming awful close to the resistance you spoke about. Going to be interesting. I'm just watching for now.
DECK. Covered for plus .75. Not sure they don't try to run it up again.
Nice trading. The way this market has been going lately it probably won't be long before you sell that last position for a profit. (HANS) I thought the market was getting ready to crater a little while ago, but it seems to have found it's legs again.
Rack. Sold Friday's buy for a bucker plus.
Thanks. Short DECK at $46.59. Still too chicken on CYMI. LOL
Edit. And wow, there it goes up again. (DECK)
Hi Zeev. Do you think CYMI and DECK are good shorts here. Sure looking toppy. Thanks.
p.s. I tried posting this a while ago and it didn't go through. sorry if it comes up twice.
Sorry for the late reply. I haven't been able to be at the PC much today. Although it gave me some anxious moments yesterday, I'm still holding that KLIC I bought and was pleased to see it turn up at the end of the day. Hopefully there's more to come.
RACK. Long a few at $25.
Thanks. I'm going to have to study that chart and pay more attention.
Well. You're certainly right. I had to leave the PC for 15 minutes and came back to see I've turned a profitable trade into a dud. Wow. When they want the market down, good news doesn't last long.
KLIC. Long a few at $7.80 Keeping my fingers crossed.
KLIC moving on this news.

ASML Says 3rd Quarter Orders Look Strong

Dutch Semiconductor Equipment Company ASML Says Third Quarter Orders Look Strong
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (AP) -- Dutch semiconductor equipment maker ASML Holding NV said Wednesday its intake of new orders will be about the same in the third quarter as it was in the second quarter, bucking expectations of an industry slowdown.
Shares rose 2.4 percent on the news to euro17.37 (US$22.33) in Amsterdam trading.
ASML supplies lithography systems -- which map out the circuitry of chips and are at the heart of the semiconductor-making process -- to the world's major chipmakers such as Intel Corp., and is considered an industry bellwether.
ASML said it expects third quarter "orders to be substantially higher than previously indicated because of strong demand from several memory makers ... across the ASML product range."
Chief Executive Eric Meurice forecast Wednesday that 2006 sales as a whole will be up around 40 percent from euro2.53 billion (US$3.06 billion) a year earlier.
The strength of the orders are "indicative of the industry's fairly sustained need for capacity," as customers build new fabrication plants in 2007, he said in a statement.
In July, ASML reported a 49 percent rise in second-quarter net profit to euro167 million (US$209 million), with sales up 23 percent to euro942 million (US$1.18 billion).
