I got out of the market in July 2010.
I was not watching the board in Nov-Dec 2010. S2's lost a lot of people a lot $$s by his "recs". They are often based on someone's obsolete macro theory of the markets. He always seems to rec a stock just before it's tanks big-time. Let's just call it bad luck.
The yahoo SOL board is buying this bargain stock and it hasn't even bottomed yet. Others are claiming it's been the victim of "naked short selling" (per a CNBC video). Even if that were true, it makes no difference. SOL's break of it's support at $8.50 was catastrophic (as we can see now). Did S2 come on the board & rec dumping it then? He was no where to be found.
The coming end of QE2 has figured heavily in to the market's recent fall. Do S2's market projections consider the cessation of FED stimulus in the market going forward? Are they being made with QE3 as a certainty?
This market (at this level, we've only dropped about 6%) is "only" fueled by the FED's cheap dollars. More stimulus, market goes up, no stimulus, market goes down.
All S2's macro theories are just that, theories. A theory is just a supposition based on previously accepted principles. The "market profile" is constantly changing. Right now, it's not Pring, or Lynch, or Buffett, it's "The FED", and nothing else.
Dead-board.......
Funny how stocks that have horrendous tanks seem to follow S2?
SOL, per the squeeze up this morning...is down $ .15/sh or -3.25% to $4.46/sh. But, per the yahoo SOL board there are still some that can't believe their stock is trash, and are holding.
Today, looks like one of the last squeezes of QE2. We're banging up against many resistances. Consumer staple stocks are flat today, but the oilies are in full bull-mode (except USO).
Well, things look in order here.
U take care
From the yahoo SOL board....SOL's been manipulated.
Apparently, stock manipulation has brought SOL down...OMG!!!!
"I filed an SEC complaint today concerning those MM, hedge funds, and investment banks who have been manipulating this stock downwards to create margin calls to force the sale of long shares for them to cover some of their naked short sales.
I believe Scottrade and TD Ameritrade is part of the fraud working in collusion with the investment banks (i.e. MMs) to manipulate this stock and several other Chinese solar stocks to force margin call sales.
This price manipulation corruption in the US Stock Market needs to stop. The SEC needs to enforce fraud, naked short selling, and stock price manipulation schemes in Chinese stocks."
Why would anyone buy SOL on margin when the stock's been dropping. I just gotta know.
Robanson = S2
This has been suggested by bbqporkwings. I looked back at posting up to last December. This "robanson" is just too enamored with "our S2" and his "good stuff". His postings end in January.
S2 was pumping (2) recs in Dec 2010. One was MNKD & OREX. They were pumped close to their final top. Previously, robanson's last post was in March. Why all of a sudden, does he show up? Kinda of makes U wonder if robanson is not our conveniently absent stock mavin.
Now, let's look what happened to those (2) wonder stocks of S2 post-December 2010:
MNKD: http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=MNKD&p=D&yr=1&mn=0&dy=0&id=p18126888649
OREX: http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=OREX&p=D&yr=1&mn=0&dy=0&id=p81430761428
OREX down 85%!!!
MNKD down 60%!!!
Those are pretty nice looking charts. Noticed how they dropped 50% in one day. There was no getting out of those without a massive loss.
As for S2..."Thanks, sir, may I have another."
My objections to SOL have already been stated and not (yet) replied to. SOL, and other solars speak for themselves. Look at any of their charts. So far, no answer from our stock mavin. S2 to panders a lot to obsolete TA paradigms, which are now next to useless and certainly downright ridiculous to use as an investment strategy.
Bash S2...awh gee, I'm sorry. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Plash..you're a complete idiot....
SOL is good as gold. It's Monday, 20 June, and SOL is down another -7.305% or -$ .26/sh to $4.57/sh.
It's even beating out JASO on the down-side.
R U adding today? Or are U waiting for the first bounce? Don't miss the boat here, bubba.
Yeah, that's sweet.
Where's the $14 million now??
Thanks for the update...
I'd like to think we can still trade it (in our dreams).
I hope this won't effect the traffic on the board?
This is an open forum....
Anyone can say what they want. S2 doesn't follow up on his recs. Anyone can be wrong, of course, we all have bad trades.
When the market is clearly dumping solars, he's still rec'ing a falling knife. This one has dropped 50% since he first rec'd it and he's still rec'ing it! Just like the old MRVL.
So far, there's been no retort from our leader.
Dead-board, just like SOL.
SOL takes out $5 level....
"Holly-moelly, Batman...what's going on with SOL?"
"Donno, Robin, it must be the Joker creating havoc in the solars?"
The joke's on anyone who went long SOL. 50% losses, nummy?
Now, $4.88/sh. Say, "Good-bye", Mr. $5s, Hello, Mr.$4s, How ya doing?"
Should I dollar-cost-avg here or not? Decisions, decisions......
Oh the humanity.....
SOL takes out $5/sh this afternoon. Me thinks, $4s are here for awhile (cough), till we go lower.
End of QE2 is working it's magic.
SOLAR...a sector to love...
Thursday am......
SPWRA drops again -4.76% ($ .84/sh) to $16.82. SPWRA are seeing their gains dissolve in front of their eyes as they discuss Total's "intentions"? It's too high-level for me?
SOL......now, @ $5.05 down 5.43% ($ .29). Looks like it's gonna take out ol' Mr. "5" soon, and he ain't so old .
Let's get on the SOL-train before it's too late. Woo woo, chugga chugga, woo woo............
With oil's drop, USO moves down into the $37s...bye bye $40s for awhile. Pushing me towards the 40% gain mark. I just can't afford solars.
STX (Seagate)..on schedule...dropping below $15/sh on it's way lower.
SPWRA....takes a bath
Last solar standing, down -15.58% today, over $3/sh. I no sooner mention it, and GS works it magic.
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=SPWRA&p=D&b=5&g=0&id=p19614167472
Maybe all the SPWRA bagholders waiting for Total to buy up the float will now jump over and buy SOL?
Oh my, how much money do we have to lose proving your recs are just plain lousy, and counter the trend.
The old market of Pring and others are gone. Have been for quite awhile. I tried to get through, Steidlmayer's "Trading with Market Profile" last year, but even that is now a dead paradigm. The market now moves on the "liquidity" infusions of the FED, which we believe is coming to an end at the end of June. Though, if the debt-ceiling is raised, it will be carte blanc for FED to start printing infinitum again. All those dollars will be needed by the PBGC. $Timmay said so.
As for SOL, it was junk at $9/sh, and it still is junk. All the solars are D.O.A. except SPWRA, Sunpower Corp., which Total bought in on and it gapped up 30%. I hear, recently, GS put a sell on it back to $14 now? There's no one left in this market to buy the solars. The same stocks are being jacked up and down to buoy the market.
SPWRA:
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=SPWRA&p=D&b=5&g=0&id=p19614167472
The market is still dropping, with the lack of more stimulus forthcoming from the the FED. If you want to bet against the trend and buy some beat-up solar, as some kind of contorted value play, go ahead. Come back in the fall and tell how you did.
Last Friday, I hit +33% gain in my portfolio of $30K. Fell back some today on the miraculus reversal. As long as I stay away from your ridiculous recs, I'll be okay.
Present positions: (20) USO JUL11 PUTS, (22) CNQ SEPT11 PUTS, (8) STX SEPT11 PUTs.
Goofy...those are some sad charts on LIWA, APWR, & GSI...
The market's walked away from the penny-stocks like the plague. The RUT's (Russell 2000) small caps are falling faster than the Dogs of the Dow type stocks. Consumer Staples also taking a hit (XLY):

Many of the big index stocks are still holding their necklines (for now) (i.e. JNJ, MMM, CVX, COP, etc.). The big boys keep jacking the multi-nationals to buoy the market, but still the SPYs are dropping ever so slowly. The SPY broke it's neckline at $129.50 on Thursday. I'd say it's headed to break it's 200 dma by the end of the month:

The market's falling. There's isn't much more than 2 or maybe 3 sessions a stock will stay high, before filling 100% or more. If you don't get out by the end of the session, you can easily be trapped the next day when the stock's down in pre-market. Hold for bounce, or take the chance of getting trapped in a long that goes to a new low. It's the new market paradigm.
The problem is, that there is "not enough volatility" in the market, making day-trading really tedious. It's all HFT, with computers trying to scalp a few pennies off a stock. You can't make any ducats unless a stock moves. Unless you can trade in lots of 50K or 100K shares.
Before, when the market was going up, resistance didn't make any difference. Now, support doesn't make any difference. I wouldn't be "value-shopping" right now, unless you definitely think $Ben's gonna bring out QE3. We got some time before the $Timmay ultimatum will happen. The market's still falling in it's own crappy way.
Poor user.....
I am no longer a paid-member here, so I'll have to use the public reply.
I talked to my friend a day or two ago, and he's done $70,000 gross so far this year, selling those greenhouse kits. Not bad for a home business. Says he's also busy with local farmer's market sales. Surprising that in a slow-economy, people will pay so much for decorative plants.
Making those greenhouses is so simple. You can buy a bender for $35 (somebody invented a real cheap solution to that). The rest is just done with an abrasive cut-off saw and a very cheap bench drill press.
Craigslist.com ad costs him nothing. His front door is his cell phone. It's a real sweet business, if you can manage it.
It's been so long since I shorted anything, that I forgot about those dividend deductions in my account on open-shorts. Ouch.
You're right. Forgot about that.
Thanks for correcting me.
Goofy....it's a stock and not the thing itself.
SOL is a "stock" and not solar generation itself, and we shouldn't forget that. Somebody's walking away from SOL and the other solars. That's all I know (or want to know).
No one thought oil would go up to $112/bl this last time, especially against high-inventories, no shortages, and a sluggish economy, but it did. Must be "something" pushing it up?
For the short-term, I'd say things are still in a down-trend. If you have the margin and can watch the tape for the whole session, you can make some ducats with the futures. Harder to do now with options, which is why I wouldn't try and day-trade them and have to go with the intermediate trend.
A good play that can work is to short a stock just before it's ex-dividend date, It's more than likely to drop the amount of the dividend.
The govt. is now all special-interest driven, both for the Repubs and the Demos. They are all at the trough. My guess is that, Mish Shedlock may be right (I hope not), and the debt-ceiling will be raised without, but a token of cuts. Then, a trillion or so ducats can flow into the PBGC to jam the fake-economy market up to new highs again. The dollar will drop below $72, and we'll have inflation like you've never seen before. If people liked the last couple of years, they're gonna love the next two even better.
SOL may be a $50 stock by the end of summer?
I've never liked the solars...
I've always thought they were way over-valued and that they should be down with the attendant housing market. I believe that, solar only represents about .01 of all the energy produced. Even with govt home-subsidies on solar, how many will want to invest more in a home that's dropping in value? I suppose it depends on your geographic location? In an area where I am from, most all the electricity is hydro-electric (Washington). It's not as heavily effected by raises in other energies. Seattle owns their own generating plants and water supply. And Grand Coulee's NE of me.
I wasn't particularly interested in solar, but did recognize (at the time) SOL was bouncing off a support area. But it was all pomo, and a precursor to further dumping of the stock (among others). I also had some JASO, but dumped it for a small profit early on.
There's no (big) money chasing the solars right now. Big-time, Cramer fav, FSLR dropped precipitously today almost -3%. Any pump will be lucky to last 2 sessions before it fills 100%. There's no one left to sucker. There's no financial warfare on solars, it's just D.O.A.
The market is still selling-off as the end of QE2 approaches. Solars are just among the weakest sectors. If I had had the margin, I'd have shorted SOL when it broke $9/sh for the last time.
I read today (per Mish Shedlock's site) that he believes the Repubs will relent and allow the debt-ceiling to rise by or before the August default. But the bond market will want to extract a higher cost (interest) to finance the continued folly, so $Ben would have to raise interest rates on his buds. Raising interest rates should put a damper on this "bull market", but it's hard to say.
I am still short oil (CNQ & USO) and recently, STX. June should still be a "down-month". I'll then, have to decide whether to dump my July puts before any pre-expiration squeeze. On CNQ & STX, I am out to Sept. Solar is still a falling knife as is STX. Oil's been a tougher nut, but I am hoping it falls off it's ledge this month.
I'm a SOLman.....
SOL dropped below $6.00/sh this morning. Not like it was unexpected. Would have been a great short at $9.00+. Wish I'd had the margin.
My STX puts went into the money this am. That one's being slowly dumped. Hit a new low this am. For $3/put, and a delta of over .7, it's a little money machine.
I understand the market now.....
Last year, when I sunk to a low in margin (I went from $935K high to a $130K low), I got out last July. I happen to be reading the SPY board and some guys were discussing the market and why it would keep going up. The point one of the posters was making was that the only thing that makes a difference in the market is "Liquidity". Cheap dollars (in this case, the FED dollars, backed by the all-day suckers, the taxpayers), has fueled the lofty market we now have and nothing else! When the cheap dollars go away (end of QE1), the market falls. When you understand that one factor, you have a good chance of being on the right-side of the trade.
I wish I had understood that at SPX 666. The cheap poker chips are going away with the end of QE2, so the market is now falling again.
I had to drop out of nursing in the Philippines and returned to the US in Sept. 2010. I get free-rent at my brother's warehouse in Yakima, WA. I am enrolled in pre-nursing now, but my memory is shot at 62. It's really hard for me to remember things now, especially the stuff I have to read for pre-nursing. I am in class with kids that aren't even 18 yet. In Subic Bay, I had 16 y.olds as classmates. Geesh.
I see you are in to gardening. I'm not, but I have a friend who has been in the nursery business for over 20 years. He sold his nursery in CA and moved back to WA a few years ago and did some country market stuff part of the time. When he was in the nursery business, he used a number of plastic quansit huts to grow in. He decided to fabricate the kits for small ones for home-growers, and he's been doing a gang-buster business. He mostly advertise for free on Craigslist.com in WA. When I saw him in March, he had already grossed $50K (sold about 40 kits since January). He should do over $100K in 2011. The drawback is that they are too expensive to ship (via truck), because of the size of the poles and plastic. He wants to sell the business. Here's a link to his online page: http://www.stevesgreenhouses.com/
Very high margin on this stuff (over 50%). The tubing is just fence tubing and comes from Home Depot. The fabrication only requires a drill press, a chop saw, and a bender. So simple!!!
Bought STX (Seagate) puts.....
Bought (8) STX SEPT11 $18 PUTS in the last hour of trading for an avg. cost of $3.03. Last Friday, they were going for about $2.79.
STX is past it's dividend, and it looks like it's got nothing to live for. Looks at least good for an excursion below it's 200dma @ $14. But maybe a fill down to $10 by Sept? It looks like STX is slowly sinking. Below it's $16 level, the next support level is about $13/sh.
STX 15-MONTH CHART: http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=STX&p=D&yr=1&mn=3&dy=0&id=p46321012737
I also considered DIS, but this looks better and was a bunch cheaper to play.
It's better S2 read it.....
I already bought most of my positions the beginning of May, saying oil stocks/crude would fall. I'm still holding.
As for the solar sector, our SOL has now dropped in to the $6s, as predicted. You should be able to buy it in the $5s before the end of June, if you really want a dead-stock?
The big boys are walking. We are coming up on 3 pops off support and no big lasting pop. Looks like things are going to drop out of support. 50 dmas are looking like strong resistance, if that's the word?
They are slowly walking on utilities. My D (Dominion) dropped below $47 today with a token bottom of $46.55 (a previous top). Break the $46.55 level and it's really sayonara.
Things usually gap up before things fall precipitously. Tuesday may have been the precursor to a yet-to-come break of support?
SPY vs. TLT (20 YR TREASURY) & their 50dmas
I've been following this poster on the yahoo SPY board and what he says makes a lot of sense. You can see it in the charts (links below).
Here's a paste of what I pasted on the yahoo USO board:
"A poster on the SPY board pointed out the inverse relationship between the SPY & TLT (20yr treasury), in particular, their 50dmas.
It would appear that TLT & SPY are diametrically opposed and the 50dma of each is highly significant.
In May of 2010, TLT's 50dma turned north and headed up until late August of 2010 (it's top).
TLT 2010: http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=TLT&p=D...
SPY 2010: http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$SPX&p=D&yr=1&mn=0&dy=0&id=p69566991270
At TLT's top (end of Aug 2010), the SPY started to head up after crossing it's 50dma. About 5 weeks later, about the 1st week of Oct 2010, TLT broke south of it's 50dma and headed down, as SPY headed up.
Per this "bearish" poster, we are at the crossroads now. He's previously pointed out the rollover into bonds and the movement out of stocks (which has been going on since early April).
Here's a paste of his post:
Re: you can tell who trades 1-Jun-11 07:54 pm
It's just the 50 with a comparison to the 50 on the TLT.
When a certain pattern hits the 2 you go short the SPY when you get the opposite, you go long the SPY pro's use it all the time it never fails but takes great patients.
Only about 3 signals per year. Takes guts to pull the trigger.

Things could be better......
Lost my wade in the squeeze of 2009 & 2010.
I returned to the US in Sept. 2010. I'm enrolled in a pre-nursing program at a comm. college. It's a bitch. I'm 62. I can't remember anything like I used to. Be another year before I can even get into the nursing program if I make it. Openings are tight due to the demand and the State's cutbacks for colleges.
I was up $8K-$9K, but this latest bounced squeezed out a lot of my gains. The $3K loss on SOL didn't help. Guess I should have covered at any support level, but the market likes like it's on the way down.
UPDA.....a sweet stock....I miss it
I lost $1550 on UPDA, another one of S2's wonder pumps. It held up the transfer of my brokerage account because Interactive Brokers didn't trade it. I had to file a "worthless equities form" with E*Chit to get rid of it.
Stocks of note:
JNJ jumped nearly 2% today. Wow, wow, and wow. It lead the DOW 30 percentage-wise. Now, there's a rocking growth stock. Keep'm flying, boys. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/cp?s=^DJI+Components
INTC - a market darling, starts to fill. That's a good indication, the big boys are dumping. http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=INTC&p=D&yr=0&mn=3&dy=0&id=p11361698700
Everyone have a good holiday weekend & come back next week ready to buy the market (solars too).
Market's really flat....
Guess it's just the computers trading back and forth. I don't see any ST trades posted even, on the SPYs, USO, etc. Oilies flat, except that short death trap, OXY.
Wall St.'s got nothing to sell. Nobody's buying, not with the QE2 clock ticking down.
Long time no see......
There ain't much happening here. At least, there's no SPAM here. At least, it's not a political discussion.
From what I read on the yahoo boards, everyone is pretty disgusted with this fake-o market. I don't see any dedicated-long posts. Everyone is bearish. I don't see any brow-beating longs on the boards. They are gone. Haven't heard oil $120/bl in awhile.
When I see the option volumes at the end of the day, if I bought (10) puts, the total volume might be 20!!! There's just no one in this market. Swing-trading dead. If you've got deep pockets and can trade the stocks, you can make some ducats if you're quick.
For example, my D (Dominion), a idling utility stock, had a dividend on Weds of $ .49. Could have shorted it at near the high on Tuesday, and picked up almost a $1.00 on the fall. $ .49/sh was guaranteed. That's what I would have done had I had about $12K in margin to short 1000 shares.
Go solar...go
Take a look at poor ENER...that should give another perspective on the solar sector: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=ENER+Profile
They make conversion units for solar setups. Basket case.
ENER: http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=ENER&p=D&yr=1&mn=3&dy=0&id=p84853429624
Be it S2 to disappear on one of his recs that's gone sour. He really got a hair up his ass on SOL. I should have known better than to listen to him, given the end of QE2, the dollar bottoming, etc. He's got to be down 35% on SOL. I had (10) JUL11 CALLS and (20) OCTs, The JULYs would definitely would have been trash, but I got $ .85 for them. Now, they're about half that. I see the $6s as imminent.
I don't like any ETF long or short. I've been screwed so often on them. You don't know what's in them! What's in them, could already be played-out? If you buy a short oil ETF and it's probably full of XOM, CVX, COP, BP, those are widely held in MFs and in people's IRAs as index funds. Those long ETFs are probably buoyed by all those bagholder accounts. A lot of those short ETFs have so little open-interest, the option spreads are just untradeable. The big boys keep skimming the gravy off the tops. MFs don't care as they get the same commissions whether their investors make money or lose money. Big oil hasn't broken it's running support, in now over 3 months.

I've traded CNQ before & made $$$s: http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=CNQ&p=D&yr=1&mn=3&dy=0&id=p19644290082
I hold (20) USO JUL11 puts ($46/$47), (22) CNQ SEPT11 $48 PUTS & (8) D JUL11 $50 PUTS. D is a slow bugger to fill, I'm still down a couple hundred bucks on it. As soon as I bought (6) puts on it, within seconds, it sprinted up $ .50/sh to a new high. There's no one in this market except the HF players. There are so few players in this market, that big boys know when some chump is shorting, even for a shitty (6) puts.
I would not bet that the market will be down further in June (though I am going to hold what I have in anticipation, we will be breaking down some in the next 2 weeks), so I would not buy any puts closer in than July. I can't short anything as I have no margin against my option holdings.
I still think oil will recede sometime in June. That's my gamble.
Some on the SPY board was quoting some article written by someone named "Sullivan" who was comparing what happen in Japan per the end of some govt. stimulus program vs. the US. He thought the market would hold high to the very last day (end of June). He may be right. I wish I would have bookmarked that post.
I'm not a SOLman......
I've never liked solar. It represents about .01% of all the produced energy.
Originally, it looked like SOL would hit $10-$11.50/sh, but it just rose on the "pump", and that's all it was. I should have sold it on the pump for a profit. I sold my (30) calls when it was $9.17 for a $3.05K loss. Glad I did. The big boys aren't buying solar stocks, those are for a rising bull market.
This market is selling-off, but so slowly and in such a scattered manner it's not always noticable.
Take a look at FSLR (First Solar). It just broke a big-time support level at $121/sh. It's headed to $106/sh or lower. I'll bet those puts are expensive?

The perfect triad....
The perfect storm was brewing in April, at least in energy stocks and oil. The dollar was about to hit a 3-year low, the seasonal trough for energy stocks starts in April-May and usually bottoms in June, and again in July. The other part of the perfect storm was the end of QE2 at the end of June. I bought my oil puts when the dollar was around $75. I was too early a bit on oil, but it's paid-off. I expect oil to drop off it's present shelf by mid-June along with the rest of the market.
S2 thought SOL was some-kind a value-play at the $8/sh support level, but the 2nd lower high ($10.73) at the end of March was the writing-on-the-wall for SOL. I was hoping I could get out at even with one more pop, but no soap. Solar's a dead sector. The big boys have been squeezing the Dogs of the Dow and other market darlings to jam the indexes up. They could give a chit about the solars. The money's going out of solar, not in.
