The last few years have been great to me, as i was able to clobber the S&P500 many times in returns. But of course, you can't make a living trading the markets if you don't make great great returns. I'll try to give my readers trades that i think will make them money. However, you need to have money management skills, in order not to lose everything on a greedy or stupid trade. I may or may not already be in the trades i recommend. I may or may not trade the stocks i recommend. Due diligence is required on your part and the usual disclaimer that i am not responsible for your losses always apply.

RIMM about to lose its pearls!!!!!

RIMM closed @ 133.28

Any bounce on this stock can be shorted. A break below 133 should send this stock on its way to 120.

The negative chart indicators are now converging to make this a really good short.

April puts can also be bought. Let's hope for a morning bounce for entry.


Swing trade.

LEH:

Wed morning Lehman will announce earnings. If they are aweful and the stock tanks, first thing you want to do is to short BSC because its earnings is Thursday and should disappoint as well.

Beanie, with this weakness is the next stop for Dow 11800? if so maybe we could just short DIA?

Wed Mar 14, 08:09:00 AM EDT

yes i would think so. Short some and wait out the first 30 minutes to see what happens before adding more.

Beanie one other question, after 11800, why is the next support level being termed at 11500? I cant find any such support in the charts but then i think i must not be looking at it correctly.

A very important 1400 level on S&P was breached yesterday and it was all downhill from there.
Look for S&P to hold 1370 today.
If not, we will have some down turn tomorrow.

Thanks Jake, I had the 11670 number I gotta find the 11965, thanks a bunch.

I think I found all the SPX support levels, I'm learning :). One question about SPX, none of you have talked about the 200dma at 1348? wouldn't that provide some support too?

You all do not get it!

May 1st DOW could be trading near 10K.

Then it will rally - 11900ish into July/August.

By November it will be trading around 8000.

MSFT UP 1.5%. GUYS, THIS IS THE MOST BULLISH SIGNAL I HAVE SEEN IN A WHILE.
If MSFT closes up today on high volume - 70 million plus, I will treat that as end of correction.
If it goes above 28, I am all in to long stocks.
Remember, markets take 6-8 months to go up, while only a few weeks to go down. So, I will go slow on buying anything.

Blogger Anon said...

gosu - i trade around a list of about 100 stocks in all sectors, some precious metals too. I focus on about a top 10 equities. unfortunately, none of which are discussed here.

BOOM is my single best pick of my top 10. I believe it is undervalued by as much as 100%. I have a 1 yr target of $68. I swing trade around a long term hold. I also have reason to believe it is either the target of private equity or an acquisition who will more fairly value the firm.

Just trying to thoughtfully raise awareness of BOOM.

I really like this board, and don't want to make myself unwelcome. I'll cool the jets.

MSFT UP 1.5%. GUYS, THIS IS THE MOST BULLISH SIGNAL I HAVE SEEN IN A WHILE.
If MSFT closes up today on high volume - 70 million plus, I will treat that as end of correction.
If it goes above 28, I am all in to long stocks.
Remember, markets take 6-8 months to go up, while only a few weeks to go down. So, I will go slow on buying anything.

As we were discussing yesterday evening that we are at some important support levels. Mainly 1370 for S&P. You can always expect to bounce some from S&P.
It would be interesting to see if we manage to hold it through the end of the week.

Goldman Sachs. Won't that be nice.

And of course, as a trader you should try to have it both ways.
Thats how market works. They go both ways. Just look at the markets today. Down 150 points and then up 60 points.
The markets were working both ways
But you won't understand it! You only work one way and thats why you blame everybody else for your losses.
SWEEET!

JakeGint,
I would suggest switching to IB for solve your problem. (If you are not already) I had this problem a few years back, but the "Close all positions" button on IB removes all emotions from trading and protects your profits at the same time.

Jake don't take it too hard buddy, i mean how would you know. today's mkt was so volatile that i would never have guessed we would be up 50 points at the end of the day. hell i was voting 150 down lol. we have to imp lessons here on this board today and both have to do with timing your trade. Gosu got out of ASTI too soon man did that stock go up today. now lets hope for a correction so that i can get in :-)

ALJ - I brought it up a few days back.
Anybody else thinks this is a buy out target?
Only a 1.4 billion dollar company. With oil holding up 60 dollars (April fut. and beyond) and Refiners racking up profits, I think this is a prime take over target.
Thoughts?

Thanks DJFSMR. I totally agree with you. ASTI is for long term investment. I am not planning to sell my shares even if it hits $10. The company has only 5.3 million shares. Zero debt. Less than 20 employees. At least 2 Ph.D. on board. "The company's target customers include traditional aerospace companies, companies in the defense and communications industries, and domestic and foreign government entities."
DJFSMR, does the ASTIW have the expiration date?

Quote from MY BLOG, Yesterday

“BSC SUPPORT 172 – 18% - 19% = 139 / 141”

I don’t know how to get any more precise than that.

In today’s blog I explain how I get the 18% to 19%, except in this case it’s on a different stock.

Wed Mar 14, 05:36:00 PM EDT  
Blogger zstock7.com said...

Here’s a Thought…..Don’t know if it’s right or wrong….

We’re never going to (DIA) $128. (current cycle) Therefore…..

We’re just going lower and lower till the 200 day gets tested. $117/$118 or 10% = $115
Like the Energizer Bunny, in reverse.

Regarding IB (maybe Gosu can answer)-
I am thinking of taking an account in IB.
1)Lets say I want to buy 10 shares of LMT. How much does it cost?
2)How about 1500 shares of LMT?
3)Also if I do like 3 round trades a month is there any extra fee in IB?
4)Does each order have an exchange fee also?
Is there any maintenance fee of any kind?
Thanks mucj

Well, nice close we got today due to the double bottom that held.

I still have them sweet FSLR long, besides a core position. Alternative stocks, especially solar, rallied nicely towards the close.

Looks like the bulls are safe for a short time. We likely gonna go sideways to up this week and much of next week.

1 dollar

7.5 dollars. That 1500@ 0.0005 cents per share

3)Also if I do like 3 round trades a month is there any extra fee in IB?
You have to generate 30 dollars minimum in commissions. If not, you pay 10 dollars for real time quotes
4)Does each order have an exchange fee also?
No, all order price is all inclusive
Is there any maintenance fee of any kind?
You have to generate 30 dollars minimum in commissions. If not, you pay 10 dollars for real time quotes

Gosu, are you sure about your calculation for the 1500 shares of LMT. I think you might be off a little, could the cost be 1+ 0.75 = $1.75, I know that its $1 for the first 500 shares, and then they charge some extra for each additional share. I've been using IB for more than a yr and i've never seen a commision of $7 (it just seems a little high to me, besides 1500 * 0.0005 = 0.75).

Wed Mar 14, 09:09:00 PM EDT  
Blogger gosu said...

I apologize Alok, I have to say that you haven't been trading enough to know how much IB charges per trade.
Believe me I make like 2000 stock trades per year and I know what I am talking about.
This is a snapshot from their website:
100 Shares @ USD 50 Share Price= USD 1.00

1,000 Shares @ USD 50 Share Price = USD 5.00

The price per share is 0.005 cents. Extra zero was a typo.

Bush need to be impeached. With firing prosecutors, they wanted only conservative prosecutors. If you have difficulty appointed crony judges, why not appoint crony prosecutors which will be our judges in 10 years' time. We need to send all these conservo-nazis to Guantanamo.

in that case if your paying 7.5 for 1500 shares per trade why wouldn't you use scottrade that charges you only 7 per trade?

Alok, 90% of my trades are less than 500 shares.
So, I pay 2 to 5 dollars round trip in most cases, instead of 14 with scottrade.
Also, bracket order functionality among a host of things is missing with scottrade.
I am soooo close to getting that dish package, will probably get it after I miss some action :-)

Let’s all try FSLR.

FSLR, NEXT bottom is exactly 46.8...OR ..Down 19% from 57.9.

On your calculator you enter 57.9 (hit minus sign) type 19 ( hit % key). That equals 46.8

Go back to FSLR FEB 26 …. Hi was 52.7

On your calculator you enter 52.7 (hit minus sign) type 19 (hit % key)

That equals 42.6….Guess what? Matches Mar 5th low. 42.7….

FSLR ( another note)

FSLR
Eventually in 2012, FSLR WILL test it’s own 50 day, 38 thru 42

The 50 day is rising so fast, that 50 day is more like a range/spread/gap….


AS far as the (46.8 number) on the above post.
I'm assuming FSLR hit this cycles high at 57.9.

Here’s another possible FSLR HIGH.

FSLR climbed 90% in the last cycle (27.5 UP TO 52.7)

FSLR mar 5 low 42.6 + 90% = 80.9 very doubtful. I think I can throw out 73 thru 90 this cycle.

Calculate like this (enter 42.6) hit (+ sign) (enter 90) hit (% sign ) = 80.9 doubtful.

MOST likely this cycle….42.6 + 45% = 61.7 hi this cycle….
45% number grabbed from WFR……

I'll spend more time at this ( percent concept) on my own site, in the coming days.
