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. I have no affiliations with any broker/dealer and all posts are for educational purposes only. Remember to 'refresh' the home page and the "Comments" pages frequently in order to receive updated posts. Let's rock!

darn it, i was lookin at AQNT the other day. If only i bought some (especially calls). MSFT is acquiring it for 85% premium!!!
Well, you're one up on me, because I never even heard of it....
Jake, check those "link directions again, couldn't get it to work.
especially - #8. "doohickey"? what is this? did I miss something?
AQNT was a gorilla pick thrice -
Twice in 2006.
Once in 2005
AQNT triggered on 5/10 at $27.29, sold at $24.25 (stop loss) for an 11% loss.
AQNT triggered on 2/23 at $26.38, sold at $23.75 (raised stop loss) for a 10% loss.
AQNT triggered on 10/31 at $21.67, sold at $20 (raised stop loss) for a 7.5% loss.
I cant believe they sold it for a loss every single time.
AQNT, has been in a great trading range past few years, Ive actually bought and shorted this stock a few times,[been @ 6 mos since i played it] I'm so f***'n glad I wasn't on the wrong side of that.
They are trying like hell to run the markets up this AM. What catalyst could there be for an up day today? Cubes up to 46.55 first thing, now @ 46.47, WTF
Acquisition of AQNT is what's moving the futures higher this morning. I suspect we will get a very strong tech rally today all day.
Who the heck is buying AKAM premarket this high? Man, you gonna get taken to the cleaners if you keep doing this enough times - buying on a big gap up.
But AKAM could get a 2-3 dollar move today if the markets stay up.
bailed on CSUN, solars falling across the board this AM
Ack, I just typed a post and it disappeared again...
On #8 Catch, it's important that you close the link properly by doing exactly this, w/out quotes, no spaces, in order
(It's tough to do as an illustration because the internal HTML picks up anything not in quotes)
"<"
"/"
"a"
">"
CSUN down a buck in premarket... I thought you couldn't short IPO's for thirty days?
I don't know about the short/ipo rule, I just took money off the table,
Thanks for the education on the link, I'll get it eventually,
AKAM?
I don't think it's bottomed. I think I may take a poke at it at 44.80 here, and if that doesn't work, another at $45.70.
If the cubes can hold $46.55 it'll be alright, but.. makers are running in the exp. day holders, "max pain theory."
Akommies!
STP:
bought some here 34.45 for a longer term hold
AVNR should resume its uptrend. Very speculative.
Pretty close to selling and locking profits.
Beanie: ...Then where Would you buy AKAM at this point, for a day trade? Thanks. Steven
Stay away from Akommie...
And die, salesforce.commie, die!
This is the most f**'d up market I've seen in awhile, big volume on the downs, weak volume on the ups, and it still goes up, TA does not work on days like this, no support and yet it can't/won't fall. WTF , now breaking high of day, upside b/o of 60 min flag on anemic volume..
Beanie,
I also picked one lot of STP @ 34.2
Just curious, what is your typical lot size for day trayding and longer term trading?
I am not doing day trading, and my lot size is about $5K -$7K
Dimitry
HSOA on fire!
Doesn't look like CRM wants to die, huh?
But it has filled the gap from yesterday... now what?
Okay, there's no question I'm a fugnutz... just shorted more CRM @ 45.
At least that bovine mofo John Deere is helping me out today with a nice drop off the cliff.
What?
Did everyone go out for a smoke break?
Out of my DE short at the bounce off the fib line ($15.79).
Closed out at $15.86.
Cubist mothahflickas tapped our old high at 46.65, before starting a descent.
Die, Cubist muthaflickas, Die!

Market peaked at 10:26
Chinese raise interest rates, I am extended on margin...All the precursors to a market correction lol
Beanie, your thoughts please on WFR, currently at 57.59. Thanks. Steven
ASTI, JASO, STP, SPWR, TSL, FSLR - all decimated on Cramers call.
Any opinion on ARQL? I heard they're awaiting FDA decision in June. Another DNDN?
Thanks
short HURC? Missed earns this am, slowing domestic growth. pounding will continue
All right CRM! All right!
No mas!
No mas!
Good time to load up on solars
My ONT trying valiantly to stay above that first fib line ($3.23).
I still think she'll see $3.03 again, but what the hell do I know?
I've been CReaMed already today.
Somebody please wake me up when VDSI hits $19.50 (if it does).
That's like one of Zee's 100-1 go long dealios.
TSL looks like it has support here at $52.00... if not there, then 49.50.
CRM - the next ORCL - is on its way to new highs.
CRM:
at least these guys seem to agree with me with CRM being the next behemoth like Oracle:
http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2007/05/18/salesforcecom-building-to-last.aspx
It will be big and i have no doubts about that.
hi beanie:
at point do you expect market to correct? also, what stocks will you be looking to short?
jay,
i expected market to correct awhile ago and it has not. I guess when we least expect it that's when it truly corrects. lol
All we can do is go with the trend until it changes.
AAPL could be a short. Just set a stop loss at 111.
AMZN could be a short. Just set a stop loss at 64.
at best my short signals are working 60/40.( which ain’t too good folks)....until i get another streak going, i wont be listing any 80/20...having said that i’m sticking with my AMT short...picking up more on Mon..JUNE 42.5 put..I think the put price bottoms on Mon...i’m shorting OMX...june 47.5 PUT at 2.75
TSL and ASTI looking very attractive today. i hope they continue to fall on monday so that I can get in.
I picked up some TZIX early in the monrning. its moving up from 52 week low on huge vol.
IYR bottomed at 80.6, SPG and VNO ..too, HIT..is interesting at 65 or 68...right now 70. MGM under 62, looks good, right now 62.7, UTI, at 23.3, at 22.5= 80/20, STP at 34.01 is 90/10, i missed it, will buy at end of day, JUNE 30 calll 4.90 thru 5.50, ok, JBX down on mon. i’m in. FD has bottomed. MNST double top, looks interesting for short.i wish i had bought PCLN three days ago.

NOPE. I don't think we are going to 12900. No way. No way at this time. Not before we touch 13600.
Mon May 14, 02:09:00 PM EDT
We are going to 13600.
Tue May 15, 10:10:00 AM EDT
Alok, the sell off yesterday was on low volume anyway.
I think Dow hits 13600 before going back to 12900.
Fri May 11, 09:48:00 AM EDT
I don't know about S&P, but I think Dow will see 13600 before any correction to 12900.
Wed May 02, 01:01:00 PM EDT
Haven't I been telling you this all along.
AKS take out rumor by MT. I think this one is hot
NYX:
i want you in this stock!
it has bottomed. the folks are sneaking in today. check the june calls!
Guys,
Explain smth to me:
if CRM is trading @ P/E=12,223.12, furure P/E=304.93, is it a good investment? Just tell me WTF is going on ?
PS I am shorting it from 45.5 today, wish me luck !
Update GT
GT selling 3.4 million shares @ $33, news yesterday, stock was @ $35
dimitry,
CRM's PE is crazy high because they are putting most of their earnings into research and infrastructure to crush any possible competition. Not to worry, one day when they are done spending on those things, you will be shocked on how much money they can make.
CRM is the next ORCL. Believe it!!!

Beanz, you were yelling to short them yesterday.
Whazzupwitdat?
JakeGint :
I got the same question, dude :)
D.
Dimitry, why you like the Sands O' Iwo Jima so much?
