ETF's are Amex specialists. Army of specialists merchandising EACH of the underlying stocks to their benefit. QQQQ's ATR at 58 cents, isn't worth messing with. A spider's ATR is presently $1.04, but with a $135 price is a scant .77%. Do you even know what floating supply refers to...

I have long AND short postions, that's plural, at any point in time. The idea is to extract profit rather than solve an identity crisis. And.............you don't see verbal diahria spewing in 100 post chunks. You know what I mean? Sure you do. Entire world short? Only in your head...

4900 posts and your translations aren't of much "help". As for "obvious", it sure the hell isn't "the entire world is short". The "hard to borrow" tickers you cited are ETF's. They are instruments reflecting baskets of the underlying stocks, NOT............. the underlying stocks. The...

Scanner? IF you were to follow a stable of candidates, day in day out, you'd get to know their attributes, "personalities", probable turning points, and subliminal messages. All in all, less surprises and more profit extraction. Just a thought. Related to volatiliy, a narrow range...

Average true range for OIH is presently $4.14 and for RIMM is $3.49 Those ATR's represent roughly 3.3% and 3.25% respectively of their prevailing prices. Certainly not the highest, but liquid enough to get out of. OIH is an ETF reflecting a basket. Price persistence is another...

190 posts in 2 months. GOOD JOB! What's your point this time? Harry Schutlz is always bearish. To wit. his 1981 book published by Dow Jones Irwin is entitled " Harry Schultz's Bear Market Investment Strategies". That of course JUST preceded the August 1982 breakout, the inception of...

WHAT? You didn't like my chart? Poor choice of colors? Histograms not dramatic enough? No candles? No trendlines? Are you being coy? You're never at a loss of words any other time. Let's see, 1. contrary to the catchy TV ads, QQQQ is not a good investment. 2. It's not a good...

I don't see much to count, other than perhaps your naps. Attached is a chart of the last 150 days peformance. Yep, 1.5% net. I'm being kind. You wanna see 200? 400? 1000? Oh, oh, you mean more recently. Well, the 20 day average true range is a whopping 58 cents. Relative to the...

What's your point? Looks FIT to go to me,( though one doesn't enter the third day of a rally)

Yep, it was perfect stock. Just about a year ago. No debt? You mean, not enough confidence to lever their asset base with rates STILL being near generational lows? Attached is a real chart.

Why would it MATTER whether traders are bullish OR bearish? Guppies in the pond. On a typical day, 70% of the volume on the NYSE is program trading. Approached 93% the last week of June. Factor in contingent dervivatives. Secondly, a stock is "worth" what the specialist is willing to...

Oh I know you're good. After all, you're dedicated enough to be posting on a Saturday night rather than enjoying the fruits of your labor. And, buying a 16 point gap, rather than at $63 in August or $86 Thursday is indeed shrewd. Ditto for being satisfied with a sliver of profit over a...

In the context of triangles, a break out/break down that carries all the way to the apex is LESS reliable and prone to headfakes than a move that occurs well before.

Stake your reputation? What reputation? You mean forex to futures to equites, like a dizzy bitch? Staking a self-proclaimed reputation is cheaper than staking capital. Flavor of the week, hence your post. Not just a gap up (which is a market maker maneuver) from $86, but this was...

It might also be hard when one can't spell "Manhattan" or more importantly, "lose".

And what about that little bastard Scott Sullivan, who engineered the accounting and was building his castle in Florida?? Only 5 years. Omitted info to Andersen. Andersen evaporates (as a firm but the bean counters skate off to other firms).

Autumn is approaching, which some refer to as "fall". In the spirit of the season, last weekend, two economists went duck hunting. In their blind, they saw a mallard spook and take off with wings flapping. One economist, Melvin, shot to the left, and the other, Marvin, shot to the right...

One shorts negative situations, such as failed re-tests, broken necklines, or the lowest low over a period of time, rather than breakOUTS. Particularly at no resistance all time high with a gap that's gone unfilled for more than 3 days. More apt to be a blowoff top than a short.

For a lack of a better phrase, you have to "view" the morning and afternoon as separate "sessions" punctuated by a lackluster noon period. One advantage to the afternoon is BY THEN, you should KNOW whether it's low made first OR....... high made first for the entire day.

` It's October already? Wow, I feel like Rip Van Winkle. You have a thousand posts in a mere 5 months and you're preaching about KSS??????????????????? Are you even in touch with reality? Oh I've learned from my mistakes, which is why I cut losses day of entry as a reflex...
