Short NGA
I wanted to go long, but couldn't find a reason why this stock was moving up. So I did a contrarian trade. Plus, this stock is retarded... it moves up when broad market falls. We should get at least a 5% correction on Monday, o/w I'll get stopped out quite fast.
DIVX will fall hard Monday
...congrats to those that rode it up. Congrats to those who got in a short.
NGA spread is wide
The bid/ask spread in NGA is consistently about 5 cents. I've been trying to day trade this, that's why I have a lack of posts.
Screw HANS
I'm not shorting today. It got awfully quiet when it's around $35. Uptrend is still viable.
Dear SONS,
Why you gotta go and rebound like that? Tomorrow, I'm kicking you out the house. You never listen to me.
Sincerly,
Dad

End of day rally
Market is doing that end of the day rally thing. Watch those stocks that don't move up w/ it. Those are the weak ones.
PAYX longs in denial
PAYX longs on Yahoo Message board wonder why the stock is down despite good conference call. Denial? Or do they have a legit point?
Most retarded chart of the day award goes to....
PAYX. What the heck is that?! Pull out a 5-day chart and it looks uglier.
INTC broke $20!
wow, I never even noticed it, but Intel has broke the historical $20 resistance point. That really changes things because the SOX stocks are generally getting hit.
I'm an idiot... Covered ATHR too early
I hate it when I do this: Covering stocks at the HIGH of the day!! That just means my timing was as off as you could get.
Short KNOT
I'm playing the $22 resistance. Stop set to $22.20. This stock should fall if market goes red.
Covered MNST
Taking profits. Stock looks like will fall hard in the next few days. I'll try to re-short on a bounce.
HANS in trouble
HANS is about to test the trendline at $35. If it breaks it, I will short by end of day. ooops, it just broke it. Looking for an entry point.
HANS is moving up
I had this on the "short list" but it's gaining to much strength. Currently it has taken out $36.50. We need to test $35.
Market goes DOWN tomorrow
That's what my cat told me. Nah...
Actually, if you believe in it, "End of September Window Dressing" will probably end tomorrow. Everyone thinks it will be on Friday since that's officially the last trading day, but We'll probably see an early exit by the smart bulls.

OSTK looks weak
Stock could head below $17 next week. Just got a downgrade. I ain't shorting yet because it's already heavily shorted. I may buy CALLS today, and short some.
MNST looks weak
MNST just dipped below a critical multi month support at $35, but has since recovered a little.
(sorry for lack of posts.... blogger is crap today).
(sorry for lack of posts.... blogger is crap today).
Giving TIE a second chance
I'm stubbornly holding on to TIE. It's flirting w/ $25, and $25.10 seems to be an important support.
Covered ATHR
Man, this stock is being pumped beyond reasonableness. I ain't gonna wait for the top, although seeing what happened to RACK made it hard for me to cover.

TIE breaks above $25
...BUT let's hope it can hold. Heavy insider buying again. Something is going up.
ATHR visits 18 again
Stock collapsed down to 17.50, but has rallied back to 18 w/ the broader market. Ah, come on.
Inetersting market....
Broad market is up, but semis are flat. Remember, Semis are becoming ridiculously overbought.
ATHR looks weak
ATHR just made day low. Come on $16. Stock has risen a lot, and it's pumped by Cramer. That bobbleheaded freak better not back the truck up tonight.

Covered OXPS too early
Damn. I panic covered OXPS. Well, I should have covered yesterday so it's all my fault. Stock is still healthy above the, uh, gap.
Short SONS
SONS is out of gas. It should have moved higher today along w/ the broader market. I'll take that as a weakness, well, not "weakness" but declining interest.
Sold ACOR
I could ride this more if I want to, but I'll take it since it hit my target. Short squeeeeeeze.
RACK kicked my butt
That's the last time I'm shorting RACK w/o signs of confirmed weakness. Stock is manipulated 4 sure.
Buy ACOR
So far, squeezing out the weak shorts. I tried shorting earlier but not enough shares to short. Target is 11.60.
KNOT looking weak
But this stock turns around fast when market rallies. Still, it trades near 52 week high... u can short and set stop to high, around 22.40
I feel real stupid
for exiing my longs, like SONS. I sold into strength, but I ignored the fact that it was very strong.
Changed my mind on OXPS
I probably will NOT cover OXPS today. There is mixed performance with NDAQ, ICE, and BOT being down or flat. We will see if longs had their chance to exit, or if I missed my chance to cover.
Looking to exit OXPS
Okay, this stock has kicked me around too much. Trying to exit now that it has filled gapped and is in a breakout mode.
Market risis on Fed comments
Market is in a breakout. Inflation is tamed by slowing economy... wait a minute, is that good news?
Short ATHR
Re-shorted ATHR after it got shut down by the 18.27 resistance. That's my stop. Could breakout strong above that pivot.
ATHR fails to break 18.27
18.27 is an interesting point on the 1-week chart. It's a pretty strong resistance point now that it is a double top w/n past 5 days. Looks like a good short here. Could fall hard if dips below 18.
Short FLSH
I re-shorted FLSH after covering earlier today. I'm hoping all those that bought this on the rally today will eventually look at the 3 month chart and get scared away.
Will re-short FLSH soon
FLSH fills gap to day's open, but not at yesterday's close. I'll wait for today's rally to cool off before shorting. Still no signs of weakness on broad market. I'll try and aim for above 41.
Sold ADBE
Took advantage of this low volume rally in the broad market. ADBE has big volume, however. Stock looks strong, but up a lot today.
Techs rebound in noon trading
Another unexpected move. Check out SNDK, FLSH, MNST, RACK, OXPS, and ATHR... all are at high of the day! Bastards.

Feel like an idiot
for selling SONS. I had no idea market would rally like this! I had 5.47 as original sell limit.
Market picks up steam
bLOGger is actin up today. Market took a swift U-turn. Boy is today choppy! Notice how volume is lower than usual. That could make for some easy movements.
Short RACK
Looks like a dead cat. RACK failed to rally to fill in gap and just leveled off around 27.50.

Market is mixed
There's big strength is certain stocks, and there's weakness in others. I can't put my finger on today's action.

HANS strong today...
HANS is getting bid up w/ strength, which makes me reluctant to short strong other stocks. Watch HANS on the intraday as an important indicator.
No one wants to hold...
HANS, SYX, GROW, and BTJ over the weekend. These stocks had good gains this week, hence, the violent profit taking before Friday's close.
CVLT still strong
No signs of intraday profit taking on this IPO. Stock could break 17 easily next week.
Some choppy close
This is one of the choppiest closes I've seen. I guess you can expect this with the sort of week we had.
End of day rally
That's some big time buy dipping, or short covering, or both. 40 minutes left to go- let's see if the Dow can stay above 11,500.
Covered ATHR too early... again!
Why do I always cover at the sell off point? Just a few minutes after trade executed, stock tanked some more.
Kirk likes BVX
Add it to your watch list. Whenever Kirk tracks stocks with microcaps less than 100 million, they can really move.
GROW trying to bounce...
Don't believe it. IBD buy-the-dippers won't pick up anything until market gets back on rally.
VSTH not looking healthy
Stock is caught in a downward trend after topping off just above $10. Stock is getting oversold, so I'll buy if it stays solid above $8. For now, I ain't bottom fishing.
MNST not selling off the way I want it
I was hoping MNST would get seriously dumped by today. It is currently at a medium term support. I need MNST to take down 36 for the longs to get nervous.
Two hot tech IPOs today: DIVX, CVLT
I use DivX sometimes. They are trying to follow ADBE's business model. Both debut today, and both are doing well. Intraday correction going on right now.
Shorted FLSH
Flash went from year low to year high in a matter of 3 months. Stock is very volatile. Decided to short close to the year high with proof of break down.
BTJ... one ugly chart
Pull out a monthly for BTJ. It' gapping down, and is inching closer to 13.50 support. Stock could bounce or fall. I'll wait for the bounce, then short closer to 15.
Stocks catching my attention
dOWNSide: AAPL, RMBS, SNDK, FLSH, SUNW, BSX, GROW, CTCM, BTJ, SYX, TIE
UpSiDe: CVLT, COGN, F, CTDC, DIVX
UpSiDe: CVLT, COGN, F, CTDC, DIVX
Covered RFIL
I'm not seeing the panic selling I hoped for in this stock. I would think it would have came about now, but it's stuck just above the day's low. A lot of longs keeping this stock up. It will probably fall hard, but I'm out anyway.
Taking SIRF off the radar
I can't stand watching SIRF fall like this! I covered 1 frickin minute too early. It's pissing me off, and ruining my concentration. Anyway, I saw the intraday triple bottom as a sign of a strong support... then the market took a sudden u-turn. That support was crushed, hence, the fall.
I covered SIRF too early
If only I waited 2 more minutes! Stock is at panic point: less than $24. Stock is tanking!
(blogger sucks today)

Covered SIRF
I just covered SIRF. Stock created an intraday triple bottom. I'll take profits at this point.
Note to self...
Don't short energy stocks. Although it looks tempting to short ADM, any news event can cause a massive spike in the oversold energy sector.
NGAS selling off hard
I knew this would fall. VLO was hurting, but NGAS didn't move anywhere at the beginning of the day. The selling has begun. Stock now under $7.
Short MNST
I re-shorted MNST. It looks like a dead cat bounce on the 1-week chart. It will soon make a thrid test of $36.50 support. A lot of longs are getting nervous. Stock could not budge on today's short-killer rally.
Okay, just covered a bunch
I spent the last few minutes covering ERTS. I replaced them with a short in SIRF which looks pretty crappy. Problem was my order didn't fill until a few seconds later which gave me another bad entry point. What a day... bad day.
One boring Fed Statement
That was weak. Should have listened to the economic data. This market is overly optimistic.
quitting RACK
Longs are to strong here. If only they'd look at their charts. Well, can't fight them, I'm out.
MNST getting dumped
Stock showing major weakness. Dropped 50 cents w/n last hour. Nasty looking intraday chart.
RFIL dumped
What happened here? I step away for a few minutes and come back to see that RFIL fell all the way to 7.33. That would have been a good cover point.
It's raining again
How's your weather? It rains early in the morning here, then it gets hot during the day. To me, 75 degrees is cold.
Nothing happening
Wow, this is a waste. I guess I'll be back in an hour. Everyone is waiting for 2 pm.
ATHR could explode
One of Cramer's picks for investing in the overbought Semis was ATHR. Stock could rise to intraday highs.
RACK not falling
Rack is just sitting there. The broader indexes gave up a few points, but Rack hasn't. I may have to cover real soon.
Fighting the urge
I now have the urge to go long. I feel like I don't want to miss out on the rally. Actually it's probably better if I don't make any trades today. Anyway, I'll be looking for a quick day trade around noon time.
Planning a Palm Stpread
I'm trying to figure out an options spread on Palm. This takes a lot of work.
UARM showing weakness
UARM is one of two stocks on my screen that are showing red (the other is VLO). Stock is down on low volume.
ADM flat
Looking for a short on ADM which is up today despite fall in oil prices. I just need to cover RACK first.
PALM retracing
After a huge 60 cent spike, Palm is retracing to a level that makes sense. I'm looking for an entry point before earnings.
Can't Swing Long
I can't swing long on this day. I'd rather wait for a pullback... it's loooooong over due.
Buy Limit HHH
I put in a buy order after hours in HHH. Hopefully it gets filled so I can hedge against my new shorts. If we get a bounce tomorrow, the oversold internet stocks should get a good boost.
Bears suck. Couldn't keep stocks down
You call that a fight? Market is rebounding on bad news! Sheesh. Whatever, tomorrow the bears will be back for battle.
VLO looks real ugly
I'm not going to search for the bounce. I'm just setting a buy limit closer to $45.
UARM is hot
Completely filled the gap. Stock is trading near 52 week high. Nike buyout? No way! Under Armour is the next brand in sports wear. I personally use their performance underwear on the court, and sometimes to bed.
Covered RFIL
I covered a little over 1/3 of my short in RFIL. I decided to keep the rest as a swing trade. After I covered, the "ask" went back up. What a joke! How could buying 300 shares cause the stock to move up 5 cents?!!
Check out SONS
This stock just popped up on one of my screens. Rally backed by big volume, plus it's one of the few stocks that are green. Finally, it's approaching it's breakout point.
RFIL will fall soon
No one is buying these shares. The bid and asks are moving up in parallel. I hope whoever is trying to raise the ask on this overbought piece of junk will give up soon... at least before me.
Dow shoots back up
This was definitely not expected. Dow is trading near 11,520. I had 11,500 as a cover point but decided to replace one short with another. Hmmm. Stupid.
RFIL longs trying to pump up ask
Again!!! Shoot. These greedy fools are going to force me to cover soon. For now, the stock is in the red.
Short ERTS
Say what? I know, I've been pumping ERTS on my website, but that was about 5 dollars ago. Stock needs a breather, and tomorrow we get Fed news. Everyone is starting to catch on to Madden 2007 so it's time to sell on the news.
Short ATHR?
Cramer pumped this. It reached 18 easily, then got sent back down. I'm still not prepared to take on Cramer on this stock. It has fallen quite a bit, and a lot of Cramerite idiots will look at the 1 year chart and say "Hey, this is a cheap stock." I'll short them when they realize they were wrong.
RFIL... i hate you
This stock is stuck. But then again, like I said before the Dow needs to re-test the low of the day very soon if the longs are going to let go.
5th test of 11,500
This is getting scary for both sides. Market could end in a rally or sell off at the 11,500 point. I'm still not convinced that it should rally. Bears won't cover their shorts this soon, and longs won't buy this "dip" (too small of a dip).
Note to self...
Don't eat 16 pieces of sushi. I got very tired yesterday after eating a bunch of raw fish. Try the "lion" at Ninja Sushi... just don't eat more than 10 of them.
VG is a turd
Everyone hates VG, and so do I. Holding a bag here. I still feel stock should trade in the teens.
Dow tests 11,500 again
Sheesh. What's up with this point? The more and more this point fails, the stronger the bears will get. If we don't break 11,500 convincingly expect an end of the day sell off.
GROW down 11% from day high
Now I'm feeling really crappy not shorting this. Whatever. Stock will probably rebound soon.
GROW is GROss
Ew. Stock is falling. Should have shorted this earlier in the day. I covered this a day to early yet again!
I may hedge with HHH
I'm guessing the Dow gives up 100+ points tomorrow after Fed statement. But to hedge my bold call, I might pick up some HHH which has sold off heavily today.
Covered MNST
I decided to cash out MNST. Remember, I still think this stock is dead, so I'll re-short on a bounce.
YHOO extends weakness
No one picking up "cheap shares" in Yahoo. Stock is testing low of day at $25.10. It's bringging down the rest of the .com stocks.
TIE is a good indicator
TIE has a jump on the market. Whenever it rises, the Dow follows a few seconds later. Same story when it falls.
TIE down a dollar is not good for broad market.
TIE down a dollar is not good for broad market.
SNDK falling
Hits low of day. Remember: SNDK in the red, market is dead. SNDK represents the will of the tech longs.
Dow tests 11,500
Double top in the making at 11500. I'm keeping a close eye on this point. Will cover SIRF and MNST if convincingly broken.
SIRF heading back up
What?! Stock just blasted off 30 cents for no good reason. This spike is in violation of the trend. I'll have to think about covering.
Market is bouncing up
What could this be? Dow just spiked up big to fill in the mini-gap. Moved about 14 points.
Letter to stockholders
Dear RFIL,
You jerks don't know how to sell your stock. Quit asking for a ridiculous price then maybe I'll buy them from you.
Sincerly,
Gio
P.S. You're heading to the red today.

Are stocks really down because of...
Thailand? That seems odd. Market is down because of Nasdaq's overboughtness (?) complimented by Yahoo's warning which sent the entire tech sector down. Anyway, I'm hoping the Thailand thing is not yet priced in and stocks will head even more lower.
SIRF heading below $24
I ain't covering until I see the rats jump off the ship when SIRF dips below $24. It may come, or not, but it should be worth waiting for.
Need Dow to head below 11,481
I know those stubborn longs in RFIL are not going to lower their "ask" unless we test low of the day in broader market. Come on longs, show me your cards!
Short RACK
I decided to join Fly on this one. Market has met resistance at 11,500 for the Dow, and no signs of strong recovery in the Nasdaq (profit taking+ overbought + Yahoo guidance = ugly)
Market heading back down soon...
Stocks leading the market down recovered a little in the past few minutes, but are starting to level off.
On my list: SNDK, GROW
On my list: SNDK, GROW
RFIL stubborn longs
They are keeping the "ask" up. Punks. Whatever. When the Dow completes the intraday dead cat bounce, stock should sell off.
... did I say "when"? I meant "if". (actually I really did mean "when").
... did I say "when"? I meant "if". (actually I really did mean "when").

Thanks to Yahoo's bloodbath, other internet related stocks are heading down.
EBAY
HHH (has ebay and yhoo as major holdings)
ET
AMTD
AMZN
TZOO
...notice how all these stocks collapsed after Yahoo's announcement.

MNST... cover soon
I'll be covering MNST soon. It's getting closer to its pivot point. Then I'd like to re-open a swing short when it gets back to 38. Long term, I think this stock is done. But today's fall is worth taking profits.
It's raining here
I'm feeling real lazy with this weather. And that's pretty bad since I'm already a lazy person to begin with.
RFIL spread is ridiculous
There's a 17 cents spread in RFIL. That sucks for me, and that's why I got a bad entry point.
RACK failed breakout
I just checked out the 6-week chart for RACK, and it doesn't look good. Break out above 27.50 is failing. Stock could head back below 25 by end of week.
FSL is bad for semis
FSL profit taking is hurting the SOX. And the SOX will take down the broader market. Blah blah blah.
Overall market dead cat
Don't believe any attempt of a reversal. Today, this market is heading ....... down.
RACK at 27
Interesting pivot at 27. I always pay attention to these ten digit points. Pyschological spots.
Pissed at KNOT
Stock really tricked me. I have to remove it from the radar because it's screwing my game.
GROW and RACK just sold off
These two stocks got a wake up call. GROW is now in the red after being up over a dollar earlier today.
ATHR should be down today
...but Cramer pumped it yesterday. Do I short here? Stock sent down after tapping $18.
VG... piece of junk
I don't want to hold this bag going into Wednesday. I think we get an ugly day tomorrow and Wednesday ahead of Fed news.
SNDK takes a U-turn
Stock gave up most of the day's gains. Should move back up. Short above $60.00, or just above $59.66.
FNET falling
I called $13.00 support (i think I typed $14, but u know what I meant) which is now resistance. Currently it's retesting $13.00 This is the second time in 10 minutes.

How am I supposed to cover if the ask price keeps moving around like a bastard.
Going to get pancakes
I wish I had time to eat some good pancakes at Boots and Kimos down in Kaneohe. But I guess I'll settle for McDonalds. Bleh.
FNET downtrend
Stock continues the downtrend. Upgrading support to $14.00 If that gets taken out.... c yah below.
ANGN bid and ask going nuts!
I'm not sure what's going on here, but the bid and asks in ANGN is frickin' crazy.
Dear ANGN,
I don't think this is going to work out anymore. It's time that I DUMPED YOU!
Love,
ANGN Longs
Love,
ANGN Longs
ANGN, I hate you
How could a stock drop from 7.65 to 7.40, then pop back up to 7.65 in less than a minute?! That pretty much ruins it because the stock had no support in site. Now everyone is looking at 7.41 + .05. That's crap.
ANGN.... WTF?!
Stock tanked to 7.40, then spiked back up to normal level in a matter of seconds!!! Damn you. Now the spread is pretty big. Manipulation?
Dow 11,600
That's the super pivot point. A convincing take out will mean I'll have to put on a bull suit.
Short ANGN
Testing the low of the day at $7.61. Looking for a dump below that support. Tight stop 7.75.
FNET interesting intraday
I'm trying to figure out FNET. It had a huge spike early this morning to $14, but has since settled back down.
Cover NVEC
Stock made new 52 week high. I hate you. Stock moves in +/- 10% range almost everyday! I think it breaks out to $40.
Market getting set to test resistance
11,600 is only a few points away. These options expiration days are vicious.
VG hurting me
I'm thinking about exiting, but I still think stock is oversold and too hated. Should be closer to $10, or at least closer to IPO price.
Short by going long???
I still need to read up on these, but there are inverse ETFs that match certain indexes. In other words, it's almost like going long an ETF that is shorting stocks. I'll check it out later.
If you want to bet against the...
QQQQ - buy UltraShort QQQQ ProShares (QID)
S&P 500 - SDS

Short KNOT
Stock is up huge in past 2 weeks. If market reverses, KNOT will fall. Keep an eye on the IBD index.
MNST just wont budge
After flying high earlier today, MNST is now back to where it started. Unfortunately it's just sitting there.
Short ANGN soon...
This is the either the 4th or 5th time ANGN has tested the $8.40 support. Bulls are getting nervous?

SEMIS are weak....
The indicator I've been waiting for: Semis flat on a green day. I'm looking at NETL, SIRF, SNDK, BRCM. NVDA is up again, which kind of pisses me off.
ADBE... no no no
I had this idea to invest in Adobe yesterday (before earnings) after discovering how powerful a force they are on the internet. Now it's up $4. Punks.
Downgrading HW
I am now downgrading HW to a dead cat. If no news comes out tomorrow, this one will fall. Not worth playing the rumor game.
Swing short ANGN soon
I wanted to swing short this yesterday. I may start a position today, but I think there are way to many shorts already.
Buy Limit HW
The hidden story behind this stock is intriguing. I'm setting a buy limit to $22.49. Let's see if it will fill.
Why is Headwaters (HW) up today?
I can't find any news out there to support the big rise in price and volume in HW. Very interesting. Rumors? Or is stock being bought up just because its trading near moving averages?
Short NVDA
Stock has gone too far. Nearing a huge 1-year resistance point at $30. I'm juming the gun and shorting early.
VSTH nearing 1-month double bottom
Pulling out a 1-month chart shows VSTH is at a dangerous spot. If it fails $9.35, expect the stock to proceed lower below $9. I will not buy, but will see if stock can stay safely above that support.
Day trading ANGN
ANGN looks like it can move a few percentage points in different directions. I will short it near $9, with a stop set close to $9.
VSTH is weak today
Stock has fallen below my $9.50 buy point. I am watching to see if stock can survive the low of the day, $9.35.
HW slipping after big rise
Stock is getting corrected. This was a former Motely Fool Rule Breaker pick.
SNDK is up today... ouch
I may have to cover soon if Dow picks up 10 more points. I'll cover a lot of stocks if Dow gets hot.
Anyone want to short ANGN at end of day?
Stock is up big time in past week. Survived profit taking today thanks to market. If market is red tomorrow, this will tank.
Dow looking healthy
Dow continues to rally. Final hour will be a key indicator for the rest of the week.
ANGN on fire!
I called this yesterday. The bounce of $8.50 was first spike, now trading above $9.10.
Pissed at FNET
I'm so pissed for not shorting FNET that I need a break. I'll decide later if i want to swing short this.
Short MNST
Playing the chart set up here. Descending triangle after getting knocked down by resistance.
Market is screwed up
Seems like a battle going on between bulls and bears. Bears are weak, but bulls are taking profits.
FNET tough to short
The short set up is gone. FNET filled the gap to 17.80 making the stock very strong. I need confirmed weakness before we can short.
Buy VLO
Energy is oversold. Tomorrow we get crude inventory data. I bought some VLO since it looks like it hit a bottom (there I go again, bottom fishing).

Just shorted SNDK. I'm hoping whatever Steve Jobs has to say will hurt Sandisk. Stop loss set to $58.50
GG hits low of the day
GG now down 64 cents. It's actually weaker than it looks since it's down over $1 from the days high.
SNDK falling without me
Argh. I thought it would move up closer to $57.50. Anyway, I'll still wait for that level before shorting.

SNDK is mirroring Dow
and Dow is mirroring the Nasdaq. So, SNDK is mirroring the Nasdaq..... whatever, I'm dumb. Anyway, if you think market will suck tomorrow, SNDK is a good short. I'm not sure, rally looks strong to me.
GS good conference call
I just noticed GS had a good earnings report today and the stock is now up $5. Market is bullish when GS does good. I think Goldman Sachs employs some of the smartest people out there.
SNDK shows some weakness
Okay, I'll be shorting SNDK today. Stock just gave up 60 cents in less than a minute. I'll wait for it to move back up a little.
Red Apple?
Apple is heading back to the red. Okay, it just did. I wonder if the rumor rally has priced in the news.
Note to self... don't short FRG
Fronteer is flooding the news headlines with all kinds of uranium news. I think they're trying to advertise themselves. Buy out?
GG took an ugly U-turn
Stock created a double top at $24.88, and is now creating a double bottom near $24. 20. Stock is showing weakness, but could spike any time.
BBY struggles with $51
Finally, BBY has found some sort of resistance for the day. But I ain't shorting.
BTJ short squeeze
BTJ may not be a good swing long for me, but the squeezing makes it an attractive day trade.
MNST and NETL.... runaway trains
I don't know what's up w/ these two stocks, but they're just running away. MNST has a huge gap to fill.
Note to self... Energy a bit oversold
How about buying today ahead of tomorrow's crude inventory report?
Tech is too strong
...for me. I just don't have the strength to short tech stocks right now. Normally I would at this level. I have to review more resistance levels first.
GROW showing weakness
GROW looks like it may break down soon. I have $30 as a pyschological support.
VSTH couldn't break $10 today
Despite a buyers market, VSTH couldn't break $10. I'll try to buy this under $9.50
ADM showing weakness... do i cover?
ADM is at the low of the day. I'm not sure if I want to cover today. I will wait and see if stock will test $37 support.
VG bounces
VG bounced a little, but it looks like a dead cat. That's too bad, since I think it's undervalued.
TIE is weak... falling now.
Longs here are exhausted. TIE is barely up after getting whoppings yesterday. Critical support at $24.50.
DRYS forming a top
DRYS is up about seventy cents, but has formed a top around 13.80. You can short now, and set stop to 13.80.
Dow resistance 11,482
Bears will cover at 11,482. Tough resistance that could lead to a tech breakout.
SNDK up small
SNDK is up small after announcing a new impressive product. Could this be sell on the news?
Sold VSTH
sold VSTH @ close of the day. Never bought TIE cuz it's a falling knife for now; never bought BRCM because its up in sympathy with FSL; never bought MNST, because I ran out of time.
I'm out...
Check on the main page for end of day notes.

CTCM selling off
Stock is getting dumped again. Now sign of near term recovery here. Stock could head below $21, then back to the teens.
Buy- BRCM or MNST? Screw TIE
Screw TIE. It's falling like a rock. I knew it would have an ugly sell off once it dipped below $25. I'll wait for the panic selling to subside. So instead of TIE, I'm now considering BRCM or MNST.
DRYS, you killin me.
I thought DRYS would hit 13.30 before it hits 13.00. Looks like it heads below $13.00 sooner than I though.
BBY... decided not to touch
I'm neither bearish or bullish on BBY, but rather I'm chickenish in them going into their conference call. I'm just going to watch. buck buck buh-cock.
TIE and BRCM are losers
so why buy them? Both of these stocks have a potential to spike up if the market decides to go super green (ie, Dow up 100+ , or Nasdaq up 2%+).
Apple....buy?
I know you all are asking that question. "Do I buy before tomorrow's conference call?" Well, the odds are in your favor since Apple usually moves up after announcing new products. Just remember, stock has already moved up quite a bit in the past week.
On the other hand, I'm thinking of shorting NVDA after the conference call because its been piggy-backing Apple for too long.
BTW, my partner bought calls in Apple a few minutes ago. He's playing the "new iPod" rumor.
I type fast.

Dow showing weakness
Bulls ran with their tales between their legs (can bulls actually do that?). Dow is now back in the red, as I'm witnessing one of those "end of the day" sell offs.
Dow has now returned back to the downward channel (below 13,890)

Buy TIE or BRCM?
If you want to vote, leave a comment. I can't decide.
Some things to note... TIE is not moving up as the Dow is moving back up. BRCM has moved up just a little bit (it's one volatile monkey today).

Yahoo Finance is all blinky blinky
The blinkyness going on at Yahoo Finance was cool at first, but now it's annoying. Worse than that... it's deceptive. Those quotes appear to be closer to real time, but they're not! They're delayed.
Only use Yahoo Finance for charts and News. I really like the new chart layout. Google Finance is waaaaaaaay behind now.

I'm back
okay. I' looking at TIE and BRCM and they both look much cheaper. Just as I thought. The next question is which to buy? TIE is dangerously flirting with $25. It could see panic selling below there.
Taking a break
I'm hungry. I think the Dow will settle back down. When I'm back, I hope to get BRCM and TIE at cheaper prices. I still don't know which of the two I'll buy.
DOW has broken channel
Dow has broken the downward channel by breaking through 11,395. Bears getting nervous of a possible turnaround.
[intuitive pick] Stranggle on BBY
BBY is up big on its relative volatility scale. This may present a good stranggle play with options expiring this Saturday.
Market is deceptively flat....
Weakness in energy and gold/silver versus strength in tech are cancelling each other out.

Afternoon buying
Market is moving up on afternoon buyers. For example: BRCM, BBY, NETL... buyers are chilling here.
Covered DRYS
I covered DRYS. Stock looks like it will head back above $13.20. I will re-short above $13.30.

BBY is under heavy accumulation
Why is there heavy buying of BBY the day before earnings? Hmmmm. Stupid? Or do they know something.
Cover DRYS?
I'm looking to cover DRYS which found support near $13. I'm starting to think twice about stock falling below $13.
Sold short GROW
Just sold short GROW. Commodities like gold and silver are down hard, so GROW should follow soon but it hasn't. Delay?
MNST heading to the greens
MNST hit high of the day, and could completely fill the gap up. Dead cat?
Semis doing good... for now
NETL, RACK, SNDK, BRCM are sustaining sell offs and are heading back up.
Stocks got a boost
Afternoon trading could bring market back into the green. Becareful if you're shorting, the tide is against you.
Watch Intel (INTC)
I'm watching Intel just in case it dips below $19. To me, that will mean doom for the tech stocks, especially the semis.
VG panic selling
VG is getting out of hand. Buy soon, but set stop to something just above $7. Longs will dump if they see stock get below that.
SIRF about to test support $25.
Fly is shorting his nuts off in SIRF. I'm looking at $25 as a fall out point.
[Swing] MNST testing support
Monster could fall again. Take a look at 3 month chart. Heading to $20s.
SNDK and BBY moving up
These two clowns are moving back up. SNDK has tough resistance at $60. BBY is filling the gap to $47.97. Should I short now?
Metal commodities are DOWN!
Gold is getting spanked. Down below $600 which is not good pyschologically. Silver is getting raped. Down almost 8%!
Free fall action going on in the related stocks:
GG, AUY, SLW, KRY etc etc etc.

PALM almost bought
I was split second away from buying PALM. Looks like next week I'll look for another entry point.
