I think I may hold. They are calling for a week of freezing temps all the way down through Florida. That will pump up demand and the price. I have a sell at 11.19, but do I trade the plan or hold. Look like it could run to that 12.20 resistance, and possibly the 14 mark, hell last January it was $25. what do you think.
See message #720, it was meant for you not to myself
I am still in UNG, I think I may hold. They are calling for a week of freezing temps all the way down through Florida. That will pump up demand and the price. I have a sell at 11.19, but do I trade the plan or hold. Look like it could run to that 12.20 resistance, and possibly the 14 mark, hell last January it was $25. what do you think.
True,!!! I am not a fast poster, in fact it makes me wonder about the "super posters" and how they can actually make buys and sells with all their posting. Let alone research.
SLV recovered well, I see 19 bucks soon. imo, link back to chart.
United States Natural Gas (NYSE: UNG) 5.33% higher to $10.87. The NOAA forecasts below-normal temperatures for the week of January 11 - 15, 2010. February nat gas futures are trading $0.356 higher to $5.993, a 6.3% rise.
UNG good up day today, what is coming, will it break that resistance? Starting the process of looking for the next play.
Cell phones for the poor? What has happened to society? A cell phone is a perk like a big screen tv or cable. Seems like a nightmare happening in America. My taxes are going up and my income is frozen due to the recession. Somehow people are getting government subsidized cell phones, when the country/government(us) cannot afford it. The country is broke..... well 12.5 trillion in debt and going deeper and faster. Yet a program like this is here. Plus my tax dollar goes to the ceos and phone companies who take advantage of it.

I looking for a sell day on UNG, I figured the dip was eoy selling. So tomorrow 10.80's? I still would like 11.19 but may have to reconsider.
bought at 19.60 and the chart said sell this morn. So I sold at 20.45. So now it will run , Chart needs to reset. So it will be a buy soon IMO.
Yesterday a High Wave was formed. It implied a loss of sense of direction and that there is a alot of indecision. And this morn's down open signaled and confirmed a sell.
OSIS up 9%. e/m
HLCS 1.13 pre.
Our system posted a SELL-IF today. The previous BUY recommendation was made on 12.17.2009 (11) days ago, when the price was 10.2000. Since then UNG has gained 6.37% .
Watch it
now that's and ugly graph!! What only a 40% oops on the numbers. :-o
Freddie, Fannie revelations no laughing matter
POSTED: December 27, 2009
While Red Skelton's Freddie the Freeloader could always get a laugh, a couple of Washington clowns are more likely to raise your blood pressure, instead of a chuckle.
The new Freddie and Fannie the Freeloaders - also known as Freddie and Fannie Mae - were back in the news last week with word that the federal government is prepared to hand over more of our dollars to ensure the two agencies stay afloat.
The Treasury Department announced on Christmas Eve that it would lift the $400 billion cap in financial aid to agencies that buy mortgages and sell them to investors with certain guarantees to provide liquidity to the mortgage market. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac own or guarantee nearly 31 million mortgages worth about $5.5 trillion. That's about half of the nation's home loans, The Associated Press reports.
The puzzling thing is why the government took the action to remove the cap. So far, the agencies have grabbed about $111 billion taxpayer dollars to stay afloat, and a senior official said that the Treasury Department isn't expecting the losses to top $170 billion.
So why remove the $400 billion cap? Is this a hint that bad things are on the horizon?
The Washington Post reports that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have received more in direct taxpayer aid than any other firm except insurer American International Group, and the two agencies have no plan to repay taxpayers.
Isn't that nice.
But there's even more that struggling Americans may find less than amusing about the D.C. Freeloaders.
While most people were focused on getting ready for the holidays, word came out that Uncle Santa already had visited top Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae executives.
The Treasury Department and the Federal Housing Finance Agency have approved pay packages of up to $6 million for the CEOs of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This includes $900,000 in salary, $3.1 million in deferred payments and up to $2 million for meeting performance goals.
The Los Angeles Times reports that four more Fannie Mae executives and one at Freddie Mac have base salaries in excess of $500,000, and they could earn much more. The compensation plan for Fannie Mae leaders could push their total pay to $2.7 million or more, while the Freddie Mac official could earn $1.15 million a year if certain conditions are met.
What's required for CEOs and other executives to receive those big paychecks hasn't been disclosed.
We only hope that acting responsibly and returning these agencies to profitability are at the top of the list. Until Freddie and Fannie are in the black, it's hard to justify top executives seeing the bonus green and laughing all the way to the bank at our expense.
Even Red Skelton couldn't make that amusing.
PCX running up it's 52 wk hi. 17.15

That being said, FRE and FNM up 20%ish pre-market.

PCX 16.10 close. been watching it almost bought in 13's but wanted 12's lol. feckit
KFS a/h 4.48 ?
ONAV reversing nicely, link back.
A bearish pattern has developed and a SELL-IF alert is issued today.Today a Doji was formed. This shows indecision about the direction of the market and it represents a tug-of-war between buyers and sellers.
The last two candlesticks formed a Bearish (Doji) Star Pattern . This is a bearish reversal pattern that marks a potential change in trend. However, its reliability is not very high and it requires confirmation. Some state Moderate reliability.
Maybe a technical dip here to reset. Could be a buying op. imo. The chart shows people liked the news but it hit Technical resistance. We are at the top boli and above avg volume but not enough for a white candle close. Quite a bit of indecision. A/h buys are green but tomorrow will tell. To tell the truth I sold so I would like to see a dip. This news could push it to the @ $25 dollar mark for good. But I am guessing it will be after the holidays. If tomorrow closes all green with a big white candle we may be riding the top boli up, if not retest the 20d or bottom boli(20d most likely, can't see it hitting the bottom at 17 bucks again) and up from there creating a new channel up.
HOT DAMN!! e/m
Goldman Sachs Raises Price Target and Estimates on Chicago Bridge & Iron (CBI)
December 22, 2009 8:49 AM EST
Goldman Sachs is out pounding the table on Chicago Bridge & Iron Company N.V. (NYSE: CBI) this morning, reiterating its Conviction Buy List rating and raising their price target from $27 to $30.
The firm calls the it a "catalyst-rich" stock with earnings upside and they like its leverage to Australian LNG.
The firm raised FY2010 and FY2011 EPS estimates to $1.90 and $2.30 from $1.75 and $2.10 to reflect the recent PNG LNG win and slightly higher margin expectations due to completion of the South Hook project.
The new price target represents 56% upside to yesterday's close of $19.22.
I just hate those gaps up. Give me a down gap to fill anyday. Oh well, What do you think of HLCS?
Sounds like a plan, I'm in!!
sold some but I am holding most of it for another pop. I would love to see it close that gap. That being said level 2 is thinning to 1.10 then 1.13.
thanks for the alert, nice play.
I am undecided where my sell should be at? 35 would be at 10.91. I will sell there if things inch along. If they move quickly I will sell at 11.18 which will be 5%. All this can change with a report on low reserves on high than usual demand. GO PACKERS!!
