Were you expecting some news today? I haven't seen anything.

The press release should have contained a section titled About Blue Yonder. I think some folks would be interested to see that Blue Yonder is fully owned by Panasonic, which should be sniffing abound at this point if Verses AI is as rigorous as we all believe.

I am a significant shareholder in VRSSF. I'm happy that I stumbled onto this stock board after doing some searching. I missed the webcast last week and sent word to the PR firm asking for a link to it. They said they were working on getting disclaimers from the legal dept and anticipated being able to send me a link to the broadcast.
One last thing. VRSSF announced a relationship with Volvo. Most people probably don't know that Volvo is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Chinese car maker Geely. I would prefer that they don't share very much information with them........

Is his presentation online?

They just need a strategic partner to buy a 5% or larger stake in the company at a higher valuation. Then it could pop 20% in 1 day!

Buying some VRSSF today at 72¢ US. Don't know why it is down so sharply today. Guessing someone just dumped out a few shares and the float is a bit thin. I don't see much news on this site, or anywhere else for that matter.

Sun Cal Moves Toward Development Greater Green River Basin Project, Maintains 'Speculative Buy/4' Rating and $3.75 Target Valuation, According To SISM Research
Wednesday March 12, 8:47 am ET


Hey MM~ These guys might pop an electric solo riff for you in the near future. It's hard to see where their cash is coming from, but their energy assets are continuing to grow. Check it our and let me know what you think.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--(Investrend Research Syndicate) In a research update dated March 10, 2008, Ernest C. Schlotter, a senior analyst with SISM Research and a StarMine four-star analyst, has reiterated his “Speculative Buy/4” rating and 12-18 month price target of $3.75 for Sun Cal Energy Inc. (OTCBB: SCEY - News), citing movement toward development of the low-risk Greater Green River Basin Project in Wyoming.

Well, I am back after a few weeks vacation and have a new buy signal on PAL which I sold at 9.01 on 2/2. It's at 5.91 and I'm thinking it can move to 7.53 without too much trouble if the metals complex does not totally collapse (which I just do not see happening given the dollar's woes).

A close above 7.71 could take PAL to the 8.60-9.00 range.

Wish me luck.

Are you playing with fire? ............... seems we all are when the S&P is down 30 points and the economic news sucks.

The 5-year weekly chart of USU shows support at 6 bucks going back to 2001-02. If it breaks below that the next support is somewhere between 4.90 and 5.27 so be careful and good luck.

Two weeks ago I posted that I was buying SCEY at 88 cents; as it was bouncing off initial support.

Well, 2 days later the shares were at longer term support, 52 cents. I watched for a few days and a up trending wedge pattern started to emerge so I doubled down on Wednesday at 58 cents. I put in a GTC order to sell those shares at 79 cents, and surprise, they were sold at that price 1 day later, yesterday.

The stock promptly sold back to 68 cents, and again tested 58 cents this morning. I bought back what I sold yesterday and am looking to sell at 79 cents again as the shares could easily test yesterday's high of 83 cents.

Just thought I'd share a technical trade idea.

Good luck.

Yellow flag for USU.
I literally know nothing about USU. But what I see on the chart looks scary. The back page of section two of today's Investors Biz Daily shows a chart with the headline, "Stock Collapses? Sell Without Hesitation. FYI

BTW- I thought I made a mistake Selling PAL on the close yesterday when it opened up a quarter today; but now its down a buck from that level and my chart system told me to sell , so I know a little about chart patterns. That said, anything can happen if the fundamental story changes. But technically, this one looks too risky at this price point.

Just sold PAL at 9.01.
$9 is the resistance I thought it might be.
150% return in 5 weeks is is just too juicy to leave on the table when the stock did not make a new high today.

Correction & Comment on PAL
I just sold 10 PAL MAR 5 calls at $4 for a 250% gain.

There seems to be some resistance here at $9. I still have Mar 7.5's and a lot of common stock, so it seemed prudent to take some profits.

Dennis Gartman was on CNBC this morning and mentioned that he has been long PAL as the shortage in Platinum, needed for Catalytic Converters can only be replaced with Palladium. He may have recommended the shares some weeks ago in his market letter, and he also stated that PAL looked atractive on a pull-back after this wild run up.

I said yesterday that the 50-DMA was at 6.92.
I was actually looking at a weekly chart, so the 50 week moving average is at 6.92, and the 20-dma is at 6.30;
I still like PAL on a pull-back to the 6.90 to 7.20 area as a buy. A test of 6.30 would make me nervous and might signal a fundemental change in the metals market.

PS~ PAL's 50-dma is at $6.92; if the stock retraces to that level I will buy 50% more.

"

Tim~ Truthfully PAL has already exceeded my short-term expectations, now up 240%. As I told EZ 4 weeks ago, a short aqueeze could develop if everybody was bearish on the stock. I have a feeling that something like that may be occuring.

The stock has gap opened 2 days in a row, and it continues to just blow through price-points that on a chart should offer significant resistance.

I'm just using a trailing stop of 15% below the previous day's closing price. I sold 25% of my position at 6.09 thinking there would be resistance and a pull-back. It lasted 1 day and maybe others shorted at that price point.

I think $10 is the next resistance point. I will probably sell some shares at $9.90 if it gets there, and use the stop for the rest.

What A PAL...........

Metal madness
Topping this week's list of momentum stocks is Canada's largest palladium miner, North American Palladium. In addition to soaring more than 50% in the past month, the company made the grade as a stock star with a highly favored five-star rating from the CAPS community.

Shares of the company have been driven higher on two main developments -- a warm reception to a secondary share offering, and the announcement of a strong fourth quarter and full year of production. North American Palladium netted $86 million from a unit offering late last year, which successfully sold its over-allotment commitments as well. Facing a dwindling cash balance, investors were heartened by the news, since the proceeds will go a long way toward supporting development of mining projects in Canada and Finland.

The new cash infusion paired nicely with the 21% increase in palladium production the company saw in 2007, thanks to increased output at its Lac des Iles mine. Similarly, the firm also saw increased output in byproduct metals such as nickel, gold, platinum, and copper last year. With shares trading at less than half of last May's price, and the company pursuing an unhedged palladium policy, many CAPS investors think that now is the time to go long on palladium. Of the 350 investors rating the company, 336 believe that North American Palladium will beat the S&P going forward.

Sounds a lot like post #35268

TipLetter "

I just bot 10K SCEY at 87 cents.
Going to parlay some PAL profits here looking for a quick retrace to 1.20; the chart looks good.

Fingers Crossed "

PAL; Time for a partial profit?
I'm taking some gains as I'm up 65% since Jan 22.

As for SKFT, which I privately begged some posters to buy at 1.5 cents, I sold a small piece at 3.9 cents this morning but still think this company will be acquired and taken private at much higher prices. If the credit situation wasn't so mucked up, this might have already been accomlished.

Now, on to Mexico. Yes, I like the idea and thought about many of these issues while I was in Puerto Villarta last February for my birthday. The place was bubbling with construction activity and I found a fantastic piece of acerage on a point overlooking the water that was for sale; a great development prospect.

The asking price was $5 Million, and I consideed trying to put a syndicate together to buy it, but having just left the Central Valley of California which is grossly over-built, I decided to wait and see it our slow-down spills over into some of the foreign markets.

The number of Americans buying in Mexico is significant. and if they slow down their purchases it will have an effect on demand. Longer-term I'm bullish on the Mexican building and development sectors. So I hope there will be continued conversation on good ideas down there.

Cheers..................

It's really not that fantastic yet. The reason I shared some of my details with you is because I think the move here is just starting. I'm looking for a short-term move to around 5.40; but a close below 3.97 and I'm out.

Longer-term PAL could move substantially higher with just some average operating news.

EZ~ Be a PAL

I didn't see your post about vascillating on PAL. When a stock has had a big run and the news turn negative, yes, sell.

But when a stock has just completed an $87 Million offereing of units consisting of common stock and warrents to buy additional shares at $5.50, and it is 70% below its 52 week high, there is statistically not much down-side risk.

The chart shows this issue was washed out in late December, and is now breaking through 3-5-20 day moving averages to the upside. I bought it at 3.65 early yesterday but added to my position on the close as it was closing avove the 20-dma.

If everybody else hates it that works to our advantage. Maybe they're short, and will be forced to cover.

Good Luck.

Need some money, rely on PAL.

PAL, North American Palladium, looks like it might have finally hit rock bottom and is getting some good buying action this morning.

I owned this stock a year ago at $11, now it's 3.77 and climbing.
They have significant reserves and would be a great acquisition candidate at this price level.

I just bought it and thought I'd share the info in case someone might is looking for pretty decent metals play on a listed exchange.

USSE breaks above year-long trend lines with gusto. This nano-tech issue is really more of a concept than a reality but their technology appears to have been successfully tested by a number of reliable outside entities.

They took over the shell of an armored vehicle manufacturer last year at .005 cents and the shares rocketed to 42 cents in about two weeks. If there is any "news" causing this run it has not yet been released. The weekly chart shows some resistance at 4.5 to 5 cents, so if it breaks through that a 200% move and possibly more is not too much to expect IMHP.

Hi XXXX,

Happy New Year! Thanks for your e-mail. Hope you are enjoying your new life after moving.

SKFT trading activity was strange recently. The volume has been very high. If you compare it to HRCT, the volume is 10 times larger. I think something is happening and the company may be taken over or being taken private in the future. Good luck.


C............

I was wrong to say I was wrong. The housing stocks pushed on the financials and led the way down after a 13 point advance on the S&P. This is still the over-riding sector to watch.

The markets are always looking for catalysts to drive prices up or down. My view of the market is influenced by the stocks I am holding. Currently I’m short CTX and RYL, because it seemed misguided that they would rally to 90 day highs right at Christmas. So, I’m watching KBH to influence the group and hoping for lower price action.

The financials are pointing up pre-open today, so it looks like the market will take another shot at a rally, but you are right. All sectors do not now in tandem.

I have to disagree, and said a stop loss should be used at 2.07 last week. There is only some minor support at the current 1.80, which I hope holds up if you are long. But the shares could just as easily drop to 1.20.

KB Home is scheduled to release earnings tomorrow, so watch out for a lot of volatility if the report is bad, which I expect it will be.

I neglected to mention GBT. This is one of my favorites, but it has been so beaten down for the past few months I didn't want to introduce too many new stocks.

They have news out today and the stock will pop on the opening. Based on past performance DO NOT buy this one right away but wait for what will probably be another pull-back after news comes out and then, if you like it, take a position around 4 to 4.5

Talk to you soon.

Long SKFT and short RYL from 27; well, this is a very good day.

That's what I thought too, but then the stock just kept going up making me question my analysis. Sometimes these stocks just redefine over valuation. I'll stay on the sidelines with you and see what happens.

"

Tim~

check out CTDC. I'm kicking myself for not buying it yesterday on the pull-back to 8.80

The solar stocks are sooooo hot with oil at 99 bucks; and China alternative energy.

EZ~

the weekly chart on VG looks like a ski slope. But, for the first time since its IPO it is trying to break above its 120-dma. If it can close above 2.35 it looks like it might have some legs to carry it up to resistance at 2.70, and maybe to 3.33. There are already 3-4 failed attempts to achieve this over the past few weeks. So, watch the chart and SELL if it drops below 2.07

As for yesterday's question, if you put in a higher bid to buy, you become the best bid. That does not mean that traders have to sell to you. If a client comes around to liquidate shares you'll get filled. If you put your order in at the asking price you will get some or all of your HRCT order filled depending on how much is for sale at 4 cents.

are you buying or selling at the bid or offer?
there are a hundred million shares floating around so there are definitely shares available.

Is your order marked "all or none?"

If all else fails just put in a market order if you are with a trusted broker. I frequently get better fills than my specified price with E*Trade.

SKFT up 300% New anti-Fraud Technology???
Does anybody have a checking account with Fifth Third bank?
If so, did you notice they asked for phone numbers for their new online security page?

It looks like they may be using the anti-fraud IT platform of SKFT, StrikeForce Tech (.022)

Let me know if you had a similar experience. 53.com just put this page into place about a 2 weeks ago and SKFT stock has quadrupled since then after dropping from 10 cents this time last year.

Tim, the chart on ASYS looks pretty hairy. Stock was stuffed at the 20-DMA this morning an now broke below the 3 & 5-DMA. I don't really follow this issue, but support looks like its down around 11.15

FYI~ B of A Sec downgraded 8 tech stocks today, including all the chip makers.......

speaking of solar, in addition to XSNX, China Sunergy, CSUN, looks stronger than grandma's socks. But I'd like to see it drop back and fill the gap at 15.80 before buying more.

Mark~

You can be short the financials and infrastructure stocks and still buy some good micro caps that are just taking off.

Look again at SKFT (up 100% since I mentioned it to you and still moving) and XSNX. I think you can make some quick change with these.

Happy New Year!

Don't forget SKFT. I told you to buy at .009 two weeks ago, now it is ready to push through 2 cents. I don't think it is over-bought but if it does pull back grab it. Tax selling and a lack of news pushed it down.

Remember what I told you about the new security page on Fifth Third's web site. It seems to function exactly the way StrikeForce’s patent-pending ProtectID™ works which leads me to think they may be on the verge of a major contract in the upper-tier banking community.

If they announce any kind of new contract with a major bank I'll need two seat belts and a parachute brake for my executive chair. LOL

MM~
if you like solar think about XSNX. New recommendation has the shares breaking out to the upside.
