    DATA FEED: Totally Shocked!!! Who Can You Trust???

    I don't expect perfect match. I'll even tolerate differences in O,H,L,C, if they are not too large. I'll even tolerate up to 30% difference in volume. But an error margin of 60% to > 100% or more in volume is just too much. So, we've huge error margins. The only solace is if the...

    DATA FEED: Totally Shocked!!! Who Can You Trust???

    Hello, All: I was truly SHOCKED to find the great disparity between the 1-minute data from DTN (IQFeed) and that from Quote.com/QCharts.com For example, for AAPL (Apple Inc.), you get the following from DTN: Date,Time,Open,High,Low,Close,Volume...

    Do you listen to CNBC?

    Insana used to reveal (or rather, subtly hint) about Wall Street shenanigans. While I appreciated and admired his guts very much, relative to 99% of other TV figures who played it safe by parroting the party line, I just had a sorry feeling that he was risking his career for giving those hints...

    Do you listen to CNBC?

    Thanks for the update. Griffeth (Griffith?) was a decent, personable guy, as I recall. Glad he's still there, doing what he enjoyed doing. Having a TV station dealing with financial matters is a very powerful, and profitable, asset. But the barrier of entry, i.e. cost of owning a TV...

    Do you listen to CNBC?

    Very true. Much more efficient that way. News is always delayed compared to price action. The price chart is EWS. One can always check the news afterwards if it still matters. Regards.

    Market's gotta be rigged

    Well, just because you don't know what's going on does not mean it cannot possibly be rigged. Right? Hehe. I am not trying to defend whoever. I was just reacting to the first sentence [which was of course not directed at me personally] the like of which I see often. Actually, the key is...

    Do you listen to CNBC?

    I did in the late 80s. Haven't tuned in for more than 10 years now. If I recall correctly, it was known as FNN (Financial News Network) then? The anchor's last name was Griffith, as I recall. Wonder what the guy's doing and where. Any updates? Regards.

    Chinese ADRs

    How about posting your 200 ticker symbols? I know I can get it, but since you already have complied it, I may as well get a copy. Is it the complete list, or just the major ones? Thanks.

    Took a 50% hit. Time to see how long it takes to make 100%.

    I shorted CROX in the low 70s, thinking that it would bottom out around $55 where the chart indicated fairly strong support. Well I was mistaken. CROX fell twice the downside distance I anticipated for it when it was near its high. So I made a blunder that could have been avoided quite...

    Western Union in GOOG deal - shares will double or triple

    If the news is already well known, the WU stock price would have reflected it by now. Even much of future potential has been discounted. That's not to say WU won't go up. But there is resistance at $24.50. Modest resistance perhaps, but resistance nonetheless, that WU must first overcome to...

    Visa

    Law and legislation are much affected by politics, especially when there are powerful players exerting influence, or when there is broad public sentiment seeking change or demanding relief on an issue. I wonder if the law will be relaxed for personal bankruptcies in the future when an...

    Someone please explain to me what this stock is doing...

    I guess you're talking about the 1-minute price chart? I am fairly new here, so I'm probably not considered a veteran, but I'll offer you my two cents. It appears that someone decided (correctly) that above $43 is a resistance area, modest may be, but resistance area it is. So, he (or...

    I'm buying Citigroup... triple bottom?

    The rebound at current price level, should it happen, appears likely to be well under a dollar, with immediate resistance potentially at $29.8, then $30, then $30.25. So this potential bounce appears likely to be under $1, even possibly less than $0.50. Of course, we can also see C break...

    I'm buying Citigroup... triple bottom?

    C closed at $29.56 today (Dec. 27, 2007). Since this is right at its potential support area of $29.50, a rebound at this level is likely, even if rather modest. Short term, C does not appear to be very exciting, in terms of the magnitude of future price movement, compared to other stocks...

    HRB: why it's not being bombarded with shorting

    In past years, $30 was a formidable resistance area for HRB (H R Block), with $18 being strong support Later, the upside barrier lowed to $24-$25 or so, while the support area still hovers around $18. Until that $18 is worn out, which is not happening yet, it is unlikely to see...

    RAD (Rite Aid)

    Closed out LDK at $51.75 earlier. Stock closed at $47.52, and appears to find some support as it approaches $47 Should support be found and held, a re-test of the $51.5-$52 resistance area can be expected in the near future, though a break above that resistance zone is rather unlikely on...

    Companies make some extra money by issuing options on their stock?

    Thanks. You just refreshed my memory. That's what I remember also. MSFT did that for many years while its stock was on a bull run and made a ton of money from the MSFT puts they regularly sold that expired worthless, as I recall the news report. Assuming that to be factual, which I have...

    I'll Try Analyze 5 Stock Charts

    OK, your stock is the fifth and last one I'll analyze on this thread. AUY (Yamana Gold) Closed at $12.90, unchanged (Dec. 26, 2007). If you look at the price chart prior to December 6, 2007, you see that AUY is now in a congestion area, a price level where a lot of buying and selling took...
