CCMP. Added to the bop at $31.97. It's like an addiction.

LIFC. Covered at $30.17 for a 22 cent loss. Not good at this shorting game.
LIFC. Short at $29.93. Gulp !!!
TZOO. Covered at $32.75 for a double bucker. I'm just not convinced they won't bounce this if the market gets run up again today. Happy with what I got.
Edit. Bouncing a little already.
Thanks. I'm still not convinced we won't come out okay on CCMP once this EOM craziness abates. Time will tell.
Nice trading. Sweet !!!
TZOO. Holding mine a little longer hoping to get more after the open. Now we need CCMP to come back to earth.
TZOO.

Sure are. My bopping skills stink <NG>.
CCMP. Also bopped at $30.75. Thanks.
CCMP. Seems ripe for bopping to me. What do you think? Thanks
"Bopping tzoo is like playing with fire."
I'm finding that out. I've just started shorting stocks, and take very small positions so I don't get slammed too hard. I'm not sure going short is a good style for me, but thanks for the advice.
Thanks for the info (TZOO)
ZEEV. Did you also bop TZOO? Looked ripe but BWTHDIK.
TZOO. 'Bopped' at $34.80
AMAT. Covered the short for a 30 cent loss.
CCMP. Covered at $29.60. plus .57
ASML. Covered at $20.66. plus .47
AMAT. Bopped at $16.04
Market rallying on worse than expected new home sales. Wow.
J.P. Morgan changes chip equipment maker ratings
LONDON (MarketWatch) -- J.P. Morgan changed its rating on a string of chip equipment makers, saying it remains bullish on the sector, where it sees solid valuation support and the likelihood of chip inventory depletion later in the year as positive catalysts. The broker downgraded Applied Materials Inc. (AMAT) to neutral from overweight, saying it expects the firm to deliver average revenue growth due to "a limited pipeline of high-impact new products." J.P. Morgan upgraded Novellus Systems (NVLS : Novellus Systems Inc) and Formfactor Inc. (FORM) to neutral from underweight, citing a turnaround at Novellus and problems for Formfactor's competitors. It also upgraded Atmi Inc. (ATMI) to overweight from neutral due to share buybacks and accelerated revenue growth. Among other downgrades, the broker cut Teradyne Inc. (TER) to neutral from overweight and Credence Systems Corp. (CMOS) to underweight from neutral.
I should have invested in Helium. They're using so much to prop up this market there's bound to be a shortage sooon. LOL
TZOO. Covered the bop at $33.81. Plus .66. Too scary for me.
Seems to be enough bad news last night and this morning to wobble the market, but oil has dropped a little also. Going to be a fight to keep the market green but they've done it many times before.
Thanks for the article. I have to believe this will wobble the Naz tomorrow and possibly help my shorts <gg>
Thanks land. Wonder what kind of other ripples we'll see tomorrow.
EDIT: CNBC just showed an alert about TXN dropping 2% in after hours because of the National Semi forecast.
TXN. Wonder what's up? Closed at $32.49, down 22 cents, but dropping AH and now down 96 cents.
LOL !!!! Sure not me !!!!! Wish it was though <ggg>
Looks like we're going to need some intestinal fortitude.
Still might not be good enough though. I thought it would run out of gas by now. Going to grit my teeth and hang on for a bit.
TZOO. Bopped at $34.47. Hope I'm not crazy.
Can't believe that TZOO won't fall soon. Marketwatch claims it's running because Ebay is raising its fees. Hard to fathom that will hold it up, but stranger things have happened I guess. I took the Buss off my screen first thing this morning because I just have no idea what to do with it LOL
Same here. Holding a couple of shorts that are only slightly green. Been wanting to bop TZOO but can't pull the trigger the way this market is acting. Well. Tomorrow is another day.
"Testing my patience on my short positions"
Mine too. I've seen it a thousand times before but it still amazes me how they turn this market on a dime. Wow !!! I thought for sure, we'd close red today.
CCMP. SS @ $30.17
ASML. Short at $21.13
KLAC. Covered Short at $44.33. Plus $.77 Too early I'm sure.
KLAC. SS at $45.10
Agreed. Thanks.
Zeev. All three stocks you mentioned to me as good for shorting 2 days ago (KLAC, CCMP and CYMI) all hit the target you mentioned and then pulled back nicely. Since I've never played the dark side I stood there like a deer caught in the headlights watching the action unfold. It's obvious we have to all let the Darth Vader hidden inside us have his chance at bat in this kind of market, and I'll be doing that. But I wanted to thank you for sharing the information.
