michael jackson death= elvis sales,,,,,,,,,traders are in the wrong sectors.
durable goods,,,,,,,hurricane ike,,,,,,,my area, we will have to replace everything too eventually.
but i have high net worth people who took a gamble on the march bottom already and called me to ask if they should get out yet.......they are not married to the market,,,,they see it as a passing game,,,,,meantime they are sending their real money out of the country.
you wouldnt believe how cheaply an american can live outside of america,,,,,like a king if he wants for $2k / monthly. (that is nice house and 3 live in maids)
there is very little reason to buy into america at this juncture,,,,,even the r/e market is only 1/3 the way thru the old foreclosures,,,,,,then the next newbies to get wiped out occur.
we can not have a prospering nation by taxing the wealthy/smart/nonguilty so that the nonperformers of our country can feel better about themselves/status................america needs the wealthy to invest in america and the price is going up everyday,,,,,,higher and higher taxcuts for the risk.
the money on the sidelines is a myth to pump the markets. any money out there spending has been buying foreclosures with cash.......i watch them daily,,,,,,,,the ones i watched 2 weeks ago are marked down again,,,,,you can now get condo's and small apartments for less than 10k per door.,,,,,,,,,cash flow that easy.
these green futures are 'traps',,,,,let the pigs in,, let them in deep,,,,,,then slam the door shut and slaughter them.
every where i look the bulls are bashing bears,,,,but every time they failed to heed the bears warnings and instead followed a bull who can only trade a bull market.
traders really should not be bulls or bears,,,,,but traders. enjoying the ups and the downs of the markets.
next time we get a bull run and it peaks,,,,,only the trader who wants to make money will actually ask a bear side trader for guidance instead of asking a bull who lead him to the top.
tools,,,,,,,,,get them,,,,,use them,,,,,dont loose them. :)
i think traders should wait until there are buyers in the markets. if they dont then them getting stopped out can make us tank further.
i am not interested in buying long side for a few days.
'to each his own' i suppose, but i never found myself able to stop a train by stepping in front of it.
sold non freebie stocks on the long side. ( i figure i am out a tad early,, better than being late lol)
the DOW has a dingle berry UNDER the 50dma, the naz isnt actually
gaining any footage and the s&p has a goldent cross but its a weak one. the risk is the fundies simply stop supporting the markets as they adjust for whatever the rate/fed/fomc decide.
again,,,,,,,,,longs are to be freebies ONLY,,,,,,,,if we exit and the market goes up,,,,,,fine we still benefit,, even more if we have our cash on the sidelines.......but if the market tanks,,,,,,being long can be down right scary.
it is my belief wallstreet has no reason to buy this market when they can have it cheaper next week. they dont need quarter end painting UNTIL the statements are mailed out in JULY
i will be out of the house for the rest of the trading day.
aft+ vg running out of mojo/buyers,,,,,,,BAC has a heavy seller nailing it from 12.30,,,,,,,
just be careful out there,,,,,wait until people are paying ask instead of 'dips' you need buyer demand to make a stock go UP.
bidders usually get beaten over the head with their own detached arm.
CORS i had a trader friend who did nothing but pump that stock at tops just so he could get $$$$$$$ top dollar selling covered calls to the newbies,,,,,,,,,, he did it alllll the way down and made huge profits. (far more than his original investment in CORS itself lol)
NO hurry, CEPH 58.19 watch for dips,,,,this is a winter play/flu

imho-traders should be looking at BPAX 2.16 for a massive run soon. one of the best stocks trading under $10 and the target can be ANYTHING a biopharm bloat might want to pay for a developed science that can be 'lobbyied' for human use
could become a monster------very few traders are in it,,,,,and they have other stuff too so they are not a 1 trick pony:
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/BioSante-Pharmaceuticals-bw-15197690.html?.v=4
The cumulative results confirm that:
•BioVant can enhance flu-specific immunity
•BioVant/M1 Protein Flu vaccine protected 100% of the animals from lethal dose of live H1N1 flu virus, the same structure as the current swine flu
•BioVant improves survivability when compared to the vaccine alone with or without other adjuvants
•BioVant may allow for lower doses of flu vaccine thereby increasing the number of doses for a given production of vaccine
confirm its vaccine adjuvant, BioVant™, can increase the efficacy of flu vaccines, including a potential new H1N1 (swine flu) vaccine. Previously presented BioSante data from three BioVant-adjuvanted flu vaccine pre-clinical studies using the M1 protein, H1N1 (similar to today’s swine flu), H3N1 and H5N1 antigens showed that BioVant effectively delivered flu vaccines and concurrently, enhanced the body’s natural immune responses to flu virus antigens, including the potentially pandemic swine flu.
frx 24.43 good phase 3 news july25calls .65x.75,,,,,buyout value is $60 PER THEIR INDUSTRY i have a long standing conservative target of $40,,,,,,they have $8cash
lol,,,,,,great board you have here. trying to find time to be a more active poster,,,,but for now i see you guys are doing great as it is :)
thank you for inviting me over here,,,i havent been to the hub in sometime.
aft is simply too crowded,,,,,,,,,wait for a pull back on a red day when you want to bash the stock--------then buy it....fair value is 2.60
if you are open minded,,,,,,watch / buy in IRA ONLY COTE.ob .43,,,,,,,,that is likely a huge part of your future.....i expect it to go to the big boards and trade like tasr/frpt have done.-------many people i am extremely bullish on this stock MORE than i ever was on GROW at $5+$4+3+----->$70's with a stock split.
gorx .76 might be worth watching, AFT is a bit crowed (funny how i couldnt give it away at .21)
fwiw-keep an eye on education stocks,,,,,DV volume spike is all about it getting added to the s&p,,,,,,find a spot you like in that one or others,(i think you have most of the week while they try to keep it down until next week),,,,anyway the share structure makes it a possible huge momo like google was when they added it to the s&p (spraypaint to make the scoreboards look good) ------education stocks will be quite popular for the next few years......and dont let any bear tell you financing is a problem,,,,,,,the schools will simply underwrite the loans themselves cutting out the middle men if need be.
fwiw-goog paint added +10% to the s&p when it got added......DV has toooooooo low a float for wallstreet to have enough shares for all of etf's out there.
thank you for inviting me. i posted then went out to work on my hurricane ike home. so i missed 99% of the trading day and it looks like i have an unplanned family travel issue this week. anyway,, nice board you have here,,,,,i will post more when i get back into my home and some here and there as time allows while making the repairs on my home :)

for shorting- i twisted the vol to 'less than' reason being- if selling vol comes in,,,,, odds are nobody is home' as far as a bidder goes-potentual gap downs in a few days

i believe,, but can be wrong a but a full 'bullish engulfing' technically has to have volume to back it up,, otherwise its a false start.
ie: tglo has huge vol,, or at least vol that beats thursdays vol,,, so lets suppose this was a big stock like GMKT 20.87(on the same scan) the vol is about =to thursday-------meaning if more vol comes in to support the price----bears should get worried. prsc at 25.45 (w/o dd) has good odds of squeezing....but i would watch prcs-- because i typoed the ticker,, and odds are other traders will too and 'run the stock. 1.97
i have no position in any othe the stocks listed
makes you wonder what you are paying for-they must be paying themselves well and tripping over the power cord to the servers.
your told its data feed,,i think its traffic. if it is 'data feed' then why should i pay for a reg. problem,, the data vender would be giving problems to all of their clients.........for which i have not heard anyone say a thing.

just hit any 'scan' then tweek it
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have been toying with yhoo's scans,,, its free,,,i have to give up a few indicators,, so i write the few most important things and go from there,,, (market cap means nothing to me,, so i dont put it in,--it may mean something to you...?)
teh way i see it is stockcharts had something good,, needed a bit of tweeking,, but somehow,, they needed servers more. same mistake yhoo made on the message boards.
i let my sub expire this month,, tired of dealing with stockcharts down issues,, bad data and lack of concern for the customer,, anyone have other chart services they rec? tia
yip, slow drift down,, shorts shorting a dull market? not much real volume going down. i have time.
