I'm going to use this market to hone my skills in trading short. The plan is to use the 5 minute and target stocks that are displaying any type of rally. I will look for an FTT on the up channel and go short, using small positions and/or paper trades until I get proficient. It appears...

Anyone else experiencing difficulties gathering data from Yahoo finance website? I haven't been able to get any data more recent than the 21st of feb. thought it was just a glitch and would have been fixed over the weekend. not so I use this source to run wealthlab, so it sucks just a...

I don't know what kind of an influence this will have on how a stock trades because I don't pay a lot of attention to the short interests, but the action on RATE today made me curious. Shortsqueeze.com has the short interest on RATE @ 33.48% of float, which seems like an awful lot to me...

At any rate :) I gave RATE a shot in @ 44.20

Interestingly, this article was in the Monday edition of IBD almost two weeks ago, it has since fallen off their IBD 100 list I think. I only buy the Monday edition, so it may have come back on. I watched this thing a week ago Monday as the IBD highlighted stocks with buy recommendations...

yeah, i was feelin' all happy and sassy there til that news release. oh well, there's always another trade :)

in and out of GROW in @ 40.35 out @ 41.35 for a point :)

In and out of GIGM already in @ 12.55 adjusted basis out @ 13.05 still keeping an eye on it.

Um, no, they reported Febuary 6th, you didn't notice the 13% pop in their stock that day? : Feb 6 (Reuters) - Shares of Bankrate Inc. (RATE.O: Quote, Profile , Research), which operates an Internet-based consumer banking marketplace, rose more than 13 percent after it reported a jump in...

Today it was LQDT, in @ $19.90, out @ $20.80. Thanks to Spyder for the extra push on this one BTW!! I haven't done a review yet today, but based on what I saw this afternoon, on Tuesday it may be GIGM. FTT of the ST down channel with a poke above the RTL of same channel this afternoon @...

very true! tenured stock

looks like a rocket on the 5 minute for GIGM

This question has been addressed many many times throughout the first two journals. I suggest you start there.

I have peak vol on xing @ 2.4 million. it hasn't come close to that yet though it is bouncing of the LTL i have drawn @ 19.40, hope it can punch through with a volatility expansion BTW, entered tuesday @ 17.29 as it was riding RTL :) :)

keep in mind on GROW that they report earnings on Thursday afternoon with a conference call on Friday morning. I hope the action in GROW is indicative of a rally in emerging markets, but it could just as easily be buying ahead of earnings. I took partial profits in ININ today @ 20.95 for...

I appreciate the heads up, thanks for the info!!

Ulmer, your earnings date for ININ is incorrect, they released a statement Friday afternoon saying earnings would be reported on Monday Feb 12th at 4:00. here's an excerpt: 02/02/2007 13:51 Interactive Intelligence Inc. (Nasdaq: ININ), a global developer of business communications...

The ININ saga continues, this has to be one of the longer trades I've run :) But the planets may finally be lining up for ININ to take off. It is in Dry-up for the first time since December and a major broker started coverage this evening at a buy (Susquehanna). I usually could care less...

No, not at all, I will take partial profits and do so regularly, this was a smallish position to begin with, so taking partial profits wouldn't have made a big difference. As I mentioned in my earlier post, this trade is a bit of an experiment so I started out with a small position. In my...

This trade is a bit of an experiment in trading the FTT for me using a stock I have traded several times and have relative confidence in. I have not taken profits yet. In retrospect, the most profitable trade management would have been to close the position EOD Friday (my usual mode of...
