Good Luck and enjoy.
would be nice to see this get to and stay above 53.00 today. Would be a nice close and indication of the week ahead. Notice other stocks ( tsla and scty ) up nicely today too.

I definitely agree, outside the normal there is always the wild card this one visible but yet to be proven to some, I know it will be good but how high will it go is the question, right now up to this point those that wanted to push down have been in control, now some news and I am sure some unknown influence this will now start back up the low was achieved, now the next objective is to found.
In other words I feel this is going up now, higher low's etc. How far I don't know but I will be here enjoying the game. This is my retirement hobby, made some coin a while back when I first started and haven't managed to lose it all yet. LOLOL
good luck my friend.
Stocks ( all in general ) are so heavily manipulated it is unbelievable. Any interest shown in a stock ( any stock ) and the big bastards get involved thats it. You might as well stay out if you cannot get into their minds and figure out what direction it will go then no since in trading as these stocks do not trade on their own merit. Lets face it one investment group likes calls and buys the other likes shorting stock so you and I don't stand a chance except to get the crumbs they allow us. Until they stop all the investment groups and only allow you ( singular ) investor to trade on your own then it will never be a stock ( any stock ) which trades on its own merit.
Manipulation is what stock trading is all about, With enough people and money you control the direction..,

Ps. remember the happy pills, still on them and still in this stock just rambling.
Yeah it was ... now down below its open 51.22 now seeing 49.51 painted on L2
Well she made the 52.50 just couldn't stay still a good day .../
glta
Damn that looks good.
Would love to see this close today 52.50 and higher.
Took a little while for the news to circulate but up she goes.
Luvin it
glta
And here is the perfect example of sell the news, good news propelled this in short time period and now news is old news, down she goes but will it become a male find its balls and run back up. (today) guess we will wait and find out.
LOLOL
PS
In car accident last week still on pain killers so if I get to sounding strange, just means the happy pills are working so bear with me..
LOLOL
Send that thought to gpro you may see it in the near future maybe not NHL but side by side for some of the sports .../
glta
HA HA look at the news alert here..
glta
Wow NHL is going to start using gopro look for the news as I cannot cut and paste this particular article.
We had 3 days up, so is it 3 days down now or just today, guess we wait and see.
Darn good idea take a holiday stress relieve and enjoy, if the stock can do it so can we... Enjoy and have a good week.
LOL
If it goes to far down a great earnings report will only pop this back to the 50's if its lucky.
glta
I cannot believe how toxic this has gotton.
Just something I found on a stock site. One opinion but should be considered along with the rest,

TRADERS BEWARE: The Shorts are Out for Blood

The bulls have been bashing their heads in for years…
But now the short sellers are salivating as the stock market rolls over on its back like a broke hooker…
Stocks are taking a pounding this week, and it’s gettin’ ugg-lee out there. But there’s a way you can actually survive the first month of 2015 by avoiding the worst of it. I’ll explain how in just a minute…
First, a little background:
In early November, you learned how to book fast gains by buying heavily shorted stocks. The play is called a “short-squeeze”—and they can be extremely profitable.
Here’s the quick-and-dirty of how it works: you can profit from a short squeeze when traders who are betting against a stock have to buy to close out their positions, pushing prices up very quickly (click here to read about this strategy in more detail).
And last year, shorts came up snake eyes. Every market dip was just a head fake. And nearly every juicy looking short led to a massive squeeze-play that hammered these doubters.
But not anymore…
Ever since stocks started showing cracks in October, many investors began betting against stocks by piling into short positions. They’re looking to capitalize on any big market downswings. And unless you’ve been living under a rock lately (or under your desk), you know stocks have been dancing on the edge of a cliff.
So the stocks with a ton of short interest (ie: people betting against them) aren’t squeezing higher during rallies. There aren’t enough investors taking the opposite side of the bet. The trend started near the end of 2014. And it appears to be continuing…
“Although it might be a new year, one trend that hasn’t changed is in the performance of the most heavily shorted stocks in the S&P 1500; they are still getting creamed,” reports Bespoke Investment Group. “So far this year, only nine of the 34 most heavily shorted stocks in the S&P 1500 are up. On the downside, there are 25 stocks that are down so far this year and of those eight are down more than 10%.”
No short-squeezes in sight. The shorts are winning the day.
Obviously, many of these short sellers are feasting on oil stocks these days. But there are other familiar names you should avoid.
Take a look:
Camera-on-a-stick sensation GoPro Inc. (NASDAQ:GPRO) continues to tumble from its highs this month. And embattled nutritional product marketer Herbalife (NYSE:HLF) is down more than 40% over the past six months. Both of these stocks still have a ton of short-sellers betting against their shares…
Now’s not the time to try and buy any of these heavily shorted names. Don’t do it. It’ll turn your brokerage account into one big, sucking chest wound.
The squeeze trade is dead. It’s time to batten down the hatches and ride out the storm with the trends that are safe and outperforming the market.
Regards,
Greg Guenthner

It may be about to get a hole lot worse...
still under 4 mil traded, interesting drop then.
take a look at a 10 day 60 min and 10 day 10 min chart. Just for interest sake.
And that is why I hate sideways. but seems trying to bounce, hell bend over and let me kick start ya. LOLOL
I hate sideways.../// lolol
43 stocks I have on radar only 3 are green so down day all round by the looks of it.
This is starting to look toxic.
glta
seems to be out of steam and tired, quick give it a caffeine infusion. Hope it sets a floor at 52.00 and uses it for a launching pad.
glta
That is what I think so staying on the side for conformation of an upside.
glta
Now I am ecstatic I got frustrated and got out when I did, not sure if this is going to be opportunity knocking at the door or warning of further downside, abandoned all buys I had from 53.00 down to 50.50 still not interested, so think I will wait overnight and see tomorrow, may not be in right at the bottom but still will make something as it goes up... at least I will be sure its going up. lolol
glta
That figures. Thanks for the response.
Wish I knew more about options as I would have been in them (puts) since its top. Got burned 38,000 the second time I used options both up and down, took the money and then it ran and I flopped around for awhile. LOLOL
glta
Looks like 150000 plus went out at 52.00 some one must have saw it coming, and thanks I missed that about apple.
glta
Any bad ( or good ) news out there as to why this is dropping.
WoW
Just for the heck of it look at a ten day 10 min chart. interesting history.
Cancelled my order 1900 at 54.00 can't see where there is a bottom yet. If you believe in BarChart they have this as 96% sell interesting if you believe. I will just sit and watch for an entry point, may have to wait until 23 or 26th to see where it will go.
glta
Sure looks like it wants to drop some more. Reset my bid to 54.00 will watch if it breaks 55.00
glta
will miss the open tomorrow so will put an order in for 54.50 in hopes of not missing the low SHOULD it go down, no idea right now if it will or not. overdue for a jump up but hopefully, anyway the order is in.
glta
only 17 more days to earnings. Strange no rumors bouncing around.
very quiet instead.
what puts are you using now.
