ONES ON MY TOP WATCHES

MYSL- the “manip” look

HYHY- the highest dayranger last week on over a buck stocks,been a pump.now broke $2 to the downside.short biased but on green over 2 might have a good up run there.

HDLM- 25 out of last 100 days it’s run over 10% in a day.also a few week pump.right on even $2,you know what i mean?? Oh and Walmart mentioned in it’s pr,it’s going to die i think…soon

BSHF- a “re pump” from 6/2 newsletter.way short biased on this.

SORC- another pump ( don’t ya love this? )and it worked but it’s just over $2 now and a red floater..hmmmm,take ‘er down

JADE- up big Friday,need I say more,dogmeat this one.way short biased.If this one ain’t red on Monday i’ll give Tim all my watches for free! ooops already do, Hey,lucky you Tim!

GSOL- trying to bounce off piggy bottom ..sorry ain’t gonna on that fluffy news ..anytime you see “Arab” mentioned in a “big” p/r you know it’s going down.

RNIN- was a great momo Friday but it’s back to reality.Short biased.

HPOL- nice 2 day run,might have more,hoping it does near 3 soon,may be good short hold if it hits that level and doesn’t break it.

CYXN- a “re pump”,let it run,was nice short on red last time.

MMPI- I love trading this big dayranger,up down up down,so now we have 2 ups,what’s your guess Monday,mine’s DOWN

DLA- any stock that has the big p/r that moved this tied to Junkfood and BabyGap in the same sentence,well you know.

GNOLF- famous for promo pumps ( that never worked,ha )this is actually starting to run big,a double since last pump 5 days ago.let it run more or take a chance special on red short.watching careful.

VVTV- this is a real bow wow dog.it did a bounce on Friday.my guess it won’t come close to holding $4. liking for longer term short,bark bark

OEDV- pumped,ran,went red,vol dying.short biased a few days or more imo.

PCYC- great daytrader,2 days up off dump,i’m long green/short red.short biased though.

APIO, 7 ups on a pump (tired of saying that word but they are all around us )flat last 2 days,vol fading,might be a nice longer term short.

SCEY- A know promo pump stock.it ripped Friday on 1.3 mil shrs.off the bottom ,would like to see it run its brains out,then short time on red.

PBOF- another junker that had “Peru” in its pr,really fluff nursery plant news.8 up days in a row from .20 to .42, great short watch on red imo.

RFIL- earnings play up big big Friday but still off hods nice and low vol.really don’t like to short the e/r ones but it broke 8 to the downside.gotta be short biased for me.

Trackbacks

THE MASTER OF GOING FASTER

When I got laid off from my job, I contacted my old friend Muddy whom I had kept in contact with over the years after meeting him in a bookstore in the investing section of that store.
I told him I was finally going to try and get serious with his approach.
Up until then I used the same old same old stuff most everyone uses and I basically stunk at trading that way.
So I asked for a huge favor in that after reading through his blog a few times and trying to get the gist of it,would he mentor me live trading for a few weeks since we live so close.
He said he'd be glad to and his stuff absolutely turned my trading around to where I am today.
I'll never ever be him but that's ok.
For me even remotely close is way good enough.

Turning me on to the Scott hod list and almost demanding me to learn the former runners and the high dayranging stocks so I could train my eyes to see them when they started to roll on that hod list was the best advice I'd ever gotten in over 14 years of trading.
In the few weeks with Muddy when he was mentoring me,
I could not believe what I was seeing with him and that scrolling hod list.
He was catching stocks on their first vol spike breakouts from that list that were running 10-20-50% in less than an hour,sometimes minutes. When we checked later comparing news wire hits and time of the stock breakout,Muddy was catching many of these even BEFORE the news hit the wires!
When I said to him that was unreal, he just laughed and shrugged and said,”happens almost everyday,no big deal.”
No big deal??, dude, I said,that is WHACK!!

He is faster than a bullet from a gun.
He is "the master of going faster"
Thanks to him and others also ( especially Timmay who Muddy also turned me onto for learning how to SHORT these low priced junkers ) who have helped me along the way.

The words of this song fit almost perfect!




George Harrison
Faster lyrics

Chose a life in circuses
Jumped into the deepest end
Pushing himself to all extremes
Made it - people became his friend.

Now they stood and noticed him
Wanted to be part of it
Pulled out some poor machinery
So he worked til the pieces fit.

The people were intrigued
His wife held back her fears
The headlines gave acclaim
Hed realized their dreams.

Faster than a bullet from a gun
He is faster than everyone
Quicker than the blinking of an eye
Like a flash you could miss him going by
No one knows quite how he does it but its true they say
Hes the master of going faster.

Now he moved into the space
That the special people share
Right on the edge of do or die
Where there is nothing left to spare.

Still the crowds came pouring in
Some had hoped to see him fail
Filling their hearts with jealousies
Crazy people with love so frail.

The people were intrigued
His wife held back her fears
The headlines gave acclaim
Hed realized their dreams.

Faster than a bullet from a gun
He is faster than everyone
Quicker than the blinking of an eye
Like a flash you could miss him going by
No one knows quite how he does it but its true they say
Hes the master of going faster.

No need to wonder why
His wife held back her fears
So few have even tried
To realize their dreams.
Faster than a bullet . . . (repeat chorus)

Chat Room Guide and Acronyms

Hi all!

Please read our chat room guidelines below. With an average of 130 members in chat daily, failure to adhere to the rules may result in a ban from the chatroom.

1. If you want to actively chat/participate in the room please take the time to READ the Blog. Most all of your questions are already explained there more than once. Use the search box on the blog as it does work pretty good. Also I have added more links to the Important Posts on the sidebar.
   
2. The room is for alerts of hot momo (momentum, stocks on the move) low priced stocks. Specifically stocks UNDER $20. Large cap stocks such as AAPL, RIMM, GOOG etc. are considered Off Topic in this chat. Low priced stocks are our niche, please respect that. Additionally, options are OT also.
   
3. The moderators are under no obligation to tell you when or if they bought/sold or at what price. We may or may not have bought before the alert. You must decide on your own whether or not to initiate a position. You gotta understand, you are not paying us and we are not offering advice.
   
4. Please don't ask a moderator to analyze your charts/stocks/trades during trading hours.
5. From 9:00 am to 4:00 pm ET, limit off topic chat. Most people in the chat work full time. If the alerts are buried in a long OT discussion, it’s very hard to see the real alerts. Extended OT discussions about brokers, pattern day trading, general market conditions etc. can be done through private messaging or discuss it after hours in the chat room. In other words, take it OFF LINE.
   
6. Use all CAPS for stock symbols and give a brief reason for your alert. Same reason as above, makes it easier to see the alerts for people that work.
   
7. Refrain from asking the same questions time and again through the day. The mods and active traders are pretty busy trading, watching, and posting. If the question has already been asked and answered, write down the answer.
   
8. Trade well and have fun!

Acronyms etc.

Off the top of my head list for the newbies visiting the chat room and blog. Everyone, please feel free to add a comment for any others not on this list!

• HOD- high of day
• LOD- low of day
• EOD- end of day
• O/N- overnight
  
• 52s- new 52 week high
• Green- price is above prior day closing price
• Red- price is below prior day close
• "Green to red" - (vice versa red to green) means stock was above prior day's close, but now has dropped below
• ADR -average day range over a certain period number of days, i.e. ADR(30), the higher the number, the more volatile
  
• D/R or dayranger- see above
• UBB- Upper Bollinger Band
• LBB -Lower Bollinger Band
  
• DD- Due diligence, do your homework on the stock, news, earnings, fundamentals etc.
• E/R- Earnings Report
• Pre- Pre-market trades
  
• AH- After Hours trades
  
• Low float -usually small cap companies with fewer shares issued and a lot of those shares owned by insiders or institutions. Hence lower number of shares actively traded. That increases volatility and potential for short squeeze or drop/rise on E/R or news.
  
• R/R- Risk/reward
• 10/60 cross- See post on sidebar under important posts.
• Muddy zone-Search blog for that phrase, on daily chart is area between the EMA 10/SMA 30 (or 20)
• Jiggy- phrase coined by Muddy a couple years ago. Refers to watching the Scottrade quote box. When a stock is gearing up for a possible big move the bid/ask size, bid/ask exchanges, and the prices all start to change very rapidly as orders are increasing tremendously.
  

Everyone, do some homework here on the blog. Tons of good info.

PRE MARKET LEADER DROPS

Besides pre leader "late" hits that I've talked about many times, another and imo an even better risk / reward play, I've talked about on chat is the angle of finding your leaders and following them on watch and looking for ones that turn red.

In order to find my leaders I use at least up 5 % pre and a minimum of 1000 shares traded.

So at the open almost all are up 5%.

Now I want to see red for any short candidates.
But not just red , I want at least a 2-3% confirmation after it goes red ( current price lower than yesterdays close ).
Believe me this giving away 2-3% is a good thing as many under 2% will pull a headfake and return fairly quickly back to even or green.

You don't get many plays,in fact with a list of 20 you may only get a couple a week but imo the risk/reward almost can't be beat.

From my list of 31 today:

CPCI AIRT CMED CLWT CYBX CASY CMZ ABI GERN AW ENS UAUA LYG IBN THC SNG SIRF DGLY NMSS OPXA CYTR TMY DCR ROSG HOTT DSCO FHN NCC ASIA HIMX

only 5 finished the day red and of those only UAUA SIRF and DCR had any vol to speak of.
DCR spread wasn't that tight but I guess was playable.
SIRF was 6.11 close yesterday so with that 2-3% the enter short was around 5.95.
It only reached 6.01 so not a confirm.
If you read my post here I love to trade around even dollar marks . I'd never have shorted it until it fell below the $6 mark anyway .If the confirm mark had been say 6 to 6.05 I'd have waited until at least 5.98/5.99 to go short.

Now UAUA turned out to be the perfect play.
It closed yesterday at 7.22 so red would be 7.21 today.
It ran as high 7.63 today and it didn't look at all like it would go red.
BUT it did hit 7.21 to go red.
The confirm short price was around $7 to 7.05 area BUT as I said I don't enter trades that are that close to an even dollar UNTIL that mark is broken.
So I was looking at around 6.95 area to get short.
Look at the chart and see how UAUA just totally fell apart after falling below $7.
In 2 hours of dumpage it hit a lod of 5.58!
Using the trailer of 3% that I also posted on that post that I use most times,the 3% stop from what then was the current lod of 5.58 my stop was 5.75 if it rose that far.
And it did and I stopped out with a no sweat trade of about $1.20 a share in 2 hours.
Of course they all don't do or even come close to this one but as I said,imo the risk/reward on these few a week is pretty darn good.

Tim Sykes Book Review

An American Hedge Fund was an unexpectedly pleasurable read. Boy makes good, the “great American dream”. Refreshing in the telling (and I must say, I agree with other reviewers, it does remind me of Reminiscences of a Stock Operator), it highlights the incredible euphoria and gut wrenching lows of penny stock trading. While not a trading manual, his downfall trade of Cygnus paints a quintessential story of a newer trader’s education and downfall by letting emotions/ego take over and ignore the market facts. The fact is, the market doesn’t care what you think. Get over it.

Tim’s book is also a great read for its take behind the hedge fund curtain and market manipulation. When you finish this book you should know that the odds are stacked against you at all times, particularly as a small investor. Penny stocking is a risky business. Tim’s book is the appetizer. Buy his DVD for the whole enchilada.

Alot of different ways to make money in the markets,just gotta find yours i guess

Which Came First - Sykes or SYKE?

Actually it was Sykes. The famous (or infamous) Timothy Sykes stopped by our chat room this morning for a visit. Strangely enough, a few hours after he left SYKE hit a new 52 week high. 'Sup with that Timmay????? Coincidence? I don't think so.....

LOL, looks like Timmay has discovered new found powers to move the markets, influence traders, and single-handedly start a grassroots PTD rule revolt against the SEC. Wowser!

Just kidding Tim, nice to see you stop by.
