I have been buying FFIV in after hours trading. It appears to me that a bottom level support has been put in and I feel that this sell off is way overdone relative to the earnings that came out today. For a company that appears to be gaining market share from giants like CSCO and still on...

Day one of China’s General Secretary Hu Jintao state visit to the United states today. Listening as painfully dry and frustrating as it was at times it really gave me the impression that we are playing Chinese checkers when we should be playing poker. I studied Asian history, Lived in Japan...

A great day and a new 13 month account high water mark for me I went to the cub scout meeting for my sons tonight so I did not have a chance to write my results earlier and as late as it is and with still more work to do this will be fast. After accounting for withdraws of my trading account...

Hi BK, Thank you. Yes, I guess I will just log in under a new name. Nothing for sure yet as I have not pulled the trigger. Very close though. I am planning on going to NYC in Feb during the expo and thought I would check out a few firms when I am there. I may just wait until then to...

Nanometrics Inc. NANO moved up in price today about 30% from the previous days close. Volume also moved up from an average of about 500K shares traded daily to over 5 million shares by the end of the day on Friday. Option trading in the calls on Friday was especially notable with volume in...

HEADS UP ON MY USER ID. I may be joining a firm shortly and one of the conditions is that I no longer write in my blog, here, seeking alpha, or anywhere else for that matter. (compliance issues, so they don't get sued) I can continue to write my thoughts but will have to do it without...

Actually we should (and I am) impressed. Its very difficult to get in let alone make it through Marine officer school. To say that your not impressed to me means you don't know what you don't know or your just an ass. I am not sure which but let me advise you that he busted his ass and was...

The day started out great with a cover of my overnight of ARMH before I even made it out of bed. I should have stayed in bed and called it a day. I received a William B7 signal with NANO but it was a dollar lower than B9 and today was an example of why I continued to develop signal beyond the...

Thanks, Best to you as well RW

Hi BK Thank you. Glad to see you in the room again. I didnt notice you calling any trades. Are you trading? Thanks Robert

It has been one long day. Lots of trading and IB I am sure loves the money they make off of my commissions. A quick look shows that I paid about 200 to IB just today. MRO was my first trade of the day and it was a gap fade. I became greedy and wanted to get more than target and it moved back...

Hi Prop, I did hit some speed bumps last year and was able to turn things around and better understand my trading. I am or will be attending school again. I am having issues with my wrists that keep me from being on the computer enough to do the school work along with everything else so I...

Hello Nodoji, LOL Sounds to me like your algros are working in breaking up your orders to have the smallest market impact as possible. Good work. RW

Slow day for the most part and mostly just tried to let my wrists that have been bothering me rest. I shorted RBN during the open and that was my only real trade today. I shorted and covered some ICOP. I was very surprised that the price held up the way it did today. It was not until after...

Hi Loize, Ok, best thing is to be in the chat room when I am calling this stuff out because looking at my trades for yesterday it appears I did a lot with DV and I would guess (I didnt look back at my journal) that I was out and then back in more than once. Anyway, I can say my first buy...

Hi John, Thanks for saying so !!! Its now 2011. Your starting to lose the beginner part of your name. In short order your gonna be old school like me. Part of the ET goat locker : o ) Happy New Year to you as well and I hope this is your best year yet and the worst year for you...

ICOP Digital Inc. based in Kansas appears to be the latest company to have fallen victim to government cutbacks. Having a staff of over 50 people as recently as a few weeks ago this company now has fallen to a volunteer skeleton crew of officers. As Mr. and Ms. Owen try to find financing to keep...

Hi Prop, It has been interesting indeed for COCO. I am green in all accounts with COCO and so maybe mentally it is easier for me to have the staying power to continue long. Of course I spent a lot of time underwater as well so maybe its just that I believe the profits will be what matters...

Hi Nodoji, Your probably right about C. Its one that I been out of for several months now. Its no longer my type of trade. I liked it when it was "free money" at below 4. Now it is subject to bad news, market crashes and other fun black swans that I don't want to be part of. Basically it...

This new wait a minute before making a new post kinda blows for those of us that are not a problem. Anyway I just want to say why it will take me a while to reply as I will be eating shortly so I am not going to wait for the next time window to reply (Sorry Nodoji, but to make it up you and...
