Not putting salt in the wounds.

That may not have been your intention, but that is really how the post is coming across. Mainly b/c you are about the 40th chartist to come point out DPDW is in a downtrend. Everyone realizes the chart is in the downtrend. Everyone who has held their shares are not chart players. They are basing their judgement on DPDW having a strong fundamental 2008, simple as that.

And we've had about 50 chartist come preach about how T/A is the 'best' way to play stocks, so any lecturing about that is old by now too.

I'm a chartist, but I've also been around the board long enough now to see plenty of chartist stop by to give lectures on how things 'should have been played'. Like I said, I'm sure you didn't stop by to "rub salt in the wound", but after what the board has been through the past 2 months, your post is basically a broken record everyone has heard before.

penny_ta: First off...there's tons of players still here from last spring who were loading in the .20's & .30's so spare us the hollow "Now you're stuck" mumbo jumbo 'cause quite frankly you nor anyone else knows how any individual retailers have played DPDW to this point, let alone how they're going to be playing it moving forward.

Second of all...if you're such a sage why didn't you yourself heed your gracious after the fact advice "I thought to myself...geez...why the greed? Take your $2.40 and run...go to Bahamas. Spend time with the wife. Wait for the inevitable crash and reload much more shares for much less $$"? I mean it doesn't take much figuring to see that if your hindsight wisdom is so grand...then why didn't you yourself practice it instead of preaching it to all of us now lol?

And finally, there ain't an annotated chart you or ne1 else can create that can fully account for all the fundametals & market vagaries that get built into & affect each & every stock moving forward...& if there was...you'd be the richest & most infamous stock player on the planet.

So let's not pretend for one more second that you can legitimately predict that "DPDW is in a strong downtrend, which will probably last many months" 'cause for that to hold true, that would mean that Deep Down Inc. has absolutely nothing further to offer now or any time in the foreseeable future. And if you believe that...then there's really no sense in continuing this discussion any further as nothing could be further from the truth.

In fact...now that you've made that call I look forward to you watching the next couple of months unfold here along with all of us, as I personally believe the extended 2 month quiet period we just endured was the last time we'll ever see this company remain so silent in the midst of so much obvious behind the scenes progress(prior to the cameras going dark). And as these next several weeks unfold...I fully expect to see this company deliver a fresh era of transparency that more fully reveals the underlying logic/reasonings/expectations that were built into Dahlman Rose's non-compensated $2.50 per share upgrade.

The bottom line from here for me is that Deep Down Inc. is still a massively forming growth play with top tier industry relationships/clients, lofty aspirations in a booming sector & an assembled mgmt. team second to none with a sane capital structure to boot. And now that the Mako Technologies acquisition has been completed & Deep Down Inc. has attained a far higher plateau to continue launching from...the focus will be squarely on this new era of pending material developments & the intrinsic value they will surely bring.

So although I obviously disagree with your outlook here...I'm glad you provided me with this opportunity to at least give you the other side to your expected TA trend & your hindsight told ya so's. The fact that big money is already involved at this still early stage cannot be discounted & carries far more significance moving forward than empty TA calls that appear to be completely oblivious to the pending material developments to come. And I can assure you that none of the retailers here are "Hoping..that it'll just turn around and start going up again" lol. Hoping is for those who choose not to do extensive due nor attempt to figure out the constant state of flux of new & emerging dynamics.

Deep Down Inc. will be measured on the transparency of their soon to be delivered next round of material developments & if you keep watching, I expect you to be deeply impressed with this next era of tangible results.

Bring on 2008 & beyond...this winter is going to be a blast & the january effect will be in full bloom here cheers:)

What about the 10 million shares that were bought around that same range? IMO, DPDW is in limbo right now until it decides what it wants to do after the new year. Time to party and worry about this stuff later...

Happy 2008 All!!!

I have hardly ever seen such misleading information put out on the table. Using linear method on unlinear scale of diagram /where ratio between 0.10 - 0.40 is as big as ratio between 0.80 - 3.00/ is either misleading because of lack of geometry and math knowledge or misleading on purpose...

This link from Tothe /USING THE REAL SCALE!!! OF DIAGRAM/ says it all. This stock is under permanent linear growth in the last year. Linear with one big emotional heap and the logical correction afterwards. We are now simply back on the up trend line after the correction.

Some more runs but not as dramatical as in 2007 could be expected in 2008 because of high level of expectations between the shareholders and sideliners....BASED ON FUNDAMENTALS.

You can't have it both ways, penny_ta. First you say we're continuing in a downtrend, then you suggest we should have bought back last week. If we're continuing in a downtrend, why buy back at .80, why not wait for .60? I think you know that answer to that... because it is not going to happen!

Just don't come back to say you were right about buying back at .80 when we continue higher from current levels after the first of the year, when in fact the emphasis of your posts has been that we are continuing in a downtrend.

DPDW is in a strong downtrend, which will probably last many months.

Fundamentals got you to hold up to $2.40, but technical analysis would have allowed you to keep ALL your profits (and have triple the DPDW shares now, if you re-bought last week at 0.80).

~~ DPDW Annotated Chart

Here is my take based on a chart with no manipulation of the log scale. I included every indicator that I personally have found to be accurate and have not excluded any indicators that may not agree with a positive outlook.

We have a solid base below us and are above our long term trend. This is a solid company who has put shareholders first and (like you said) is "literally 1 of 100,000 stocks that managed to keep going up from Jan to Nov.2007 without a pause."

I'm looking forward to a very profitable 2008 with this stock in my portfolio, and anyone who uses any objectivity in their research of the current fundamentals and technical analysis will feel feel the same way as long as they have the knowledge needed to accurately analyze the information provided.

** DPDW Annotated Chart update:

DPDW remains in a strong downward channel, as I mentioned about a month ago. It broke a key support of MA50 on the weekly (0.82) and is probably heading for the next strong support at 0.60, where it may stabilize.

While the board "experts" will remain in denial and throw excuses and attacks at this post, the truth is that no one seems to be loading up at these "bargain prices" yet.

Maybe it's the brutality of the market, and the fact that most are still up from loading up 8-12 months before. But right now, the technicals are weak, and I'm sure fundamental players are scratching their heads.

If it stabilizes at 0.60 for a month or so, it has a chance to rebound, but it will take time.

** DPDW Chart and T/A:

Still locked in a downward channel. Support is at 0.60, and this should hold. But it may take another month or two to stabilize.
