*quad* expirations, now with Single Stock Futures expiring.
The end of day CNBC stuff often hilarious.

Good friend works at FedEx, 15 years, has never seen such a slow holiday period.

RFMD- what a retrace. Anyone follow/like it?

Nice going. looking to maybe add as a core. Alot of overhead resistance though..

EMC- bullish breakout on open, now HOD

SPY triple top interday at 91.34, now which way? breakdown into close, since low volume/ profit taking? Or perhaps another top of the hour head fake

Amen, the data on CNBC or Bloomberg is worth 10x the commentary. Sound off, 'cept for Art Cashin :)

SMH- has completed approx. 50% pullback from lows.
Was called here before at 20, let's call it again at 24.
stop 23.10

Holding out for 860-880 SP.

LF- may get long soon on climatic sell down, gap fill.
Stock had been quite strong. Was mentioned here back in Nov. as a short candidate.

now SP500 chart, 60 min 200 MA looks like resistance, sellers still in control

KLIC- I'm with george8 on this, FA aside, chart looks positive after the pullback. I like to see a downward move once a stock is 'overbought' before shorting. Currently there is demand, with mucho supply in the 6+ area.

MCDTA doing well. Problems yesterday after ruling for BRCD in their litigation. This is probably a better play in this space than BRCD right now. EMC hanging tough also..today..

Jack, your posts show how big you are.

A nice post about the board from Sandy Mack,
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=619276
and then this post from Captain Jack.
May you reap what you sow.

Thanks. I agree. Nicely stated.
Call it the Paranoid Posts Thread (PPT)

Perhaps you can point out the significance of 1390?

Market internals deteriorating. TRINQ finally moving up. could be a head fake. SPY short perhaps, here

That was a week ago.

EBAY all over the place, stalking short

BRCD- see this? Employees get new options. Dilution.

<<Ridgeland, MS, DEC 10, 2002 (EventX/Knobias.com via COMTEX) -- Brocade
Communications Systems Inc. (Nasdaq NM: BRCD) issued a press release Monday
after the market closed to announce that its Board of Directors has approved a
voluntary stock option exchange program for Brocade employees.

Under the program, Brocade employees will be offered the opportunity to exchange
outstanding stock options with exercise prices equal to or greater than $12.00
per share for new stock options, which will be granted at an exchange ratio
determined by the grant date of the original stock option. Employees will
receive new stock options in exchange for outstanding stock options at an
exchange ratio of either 1 for 1, 1 for 2; or 1 for 3, depending on the grant
date of the original stock option. The new stock options will be granted on the
first business day that is six months and one day after the cancellation of the
exchanged options. Brocade expects the new option grant date to be July 10,
2003.

ADBE, AZO both earnings Dec. 12. Both had nice surprises, 15%, 22% last time. ADBE has really pulled back, AZO also somewhat.

<<if there had been the capitulation everyone was looking for>>
probably why it did not happen! or maybe it did.

Perhaps one can try interpret how much bad news IS ALREADY PRICED into the market. The market has clearly made a move, yet this thread continues to be populated with posts (by relatively few, you know who you are) that are sooo bearish, week after week, all the way up.

Let's focus on making money here.

MAny dividends are received in IRAs and 401Ks. no tax or deferred.if currently deferred, does that mean another level of bookeeping for those dividends if not taxed?

Well, then let all the taxes collected here in Ca. STAY here.
But the Feds need that money for the other states that don't do so well. If Ca. seceded....

Taxes in CA and NY are too high as it is.enough is enough.
Don't suppose you live in either state Jack?

The Gov't prints more money for itself, why not give some to the states, esp. Ca., which more than carries its own weight in the union. Gov't allows illegal immigration, while the state foots the bill..stop, no politics..

SP500 60 min chart shows nice defense of 200ma

And those revenues have yet to really begin at QLGC.

BRCD would be only a short term trade IMO. They're in trouble (with products) and morale is probably weak, with recent honchos exited. Compete with a small c. Gotta remember that in the world of OEM supply, the second source can be a decent position to be. A decent site that tracks storage co's is:
http://www.byteandswitch.com

CSCO working w/ QLGC. CSCO dumped BRCD as a tech partner, if you recall. BRCD recent acquisition meant to compete w/ CSCO.

TRIN low at .01- lowest I've ever seen. Perhaps the flood of buy orders has hit the online brokers, causing overload <g>

WFR, watch for a short more than a long. But performance is impressive.

SAH- agree Joe that industry is not tops, but may be priced into stock. My stringent scan revealed this one, past numbers are good, outlook probably not quite as good. But a break above a base looks better.

SAH- running scans tonight. Solid operation, price breaking out
I post this stuff to share, as well as to document myself.

WFR - wow, a triple, now 9 bucks. Good cash flow

Take it a step further-Monthly chart of COMPX shows that it traded below the rising 200 month MA in Sep and Oct. Geez, that hasn't been done since when, anyone? My charts only go back to 1988.
Appears support in in that area. But resistance of perhaps 20 month MA is not until 1705, and that MA is only now slightly declining. 40MA up at 2533, which is near the 200MA on the weekly.

2400 by 2004.

KLAC got near that 200 DMA. VIX.X seeing some resistance on 60 min, but perking up a bit here. BRCM weak also after nice run.

China figures in the deflation scenario in goods. Big Time IMO.

Alright. I think I was the one who researched that stock here. Didn't get it yet though.
