i'm with IB, and their short list - though better than nearly every other online broker - has been missing some of my 'key' reversal stocks recently. i suspect this is because there are some short squeezes going on, or that's what i've noticed in the past. also...IB's 'new' current list...

oh, one thing - no bibliography (of other reference books) is included. they namedropped the humphrey neill book. in fact, it includes less books than i had thought; i guess it's just the ideas i've culled which were put succinctly into here...

i've read most of the book the past 2 days, so i feel i can comment on it. first, i've read posts from vadym / chris for a while, on SI and (when i subscribed; couldn't stand subsidizing cramer) TSCM. they both come across as honest, helpful people. my personal career pattern (the 4...

does this mean "tech recovery" isn't true? just a thought.

according to one person: 1/5 of last year. no MSFT, ADBE, ORCL, etc. "a disaster. worst show i've ever been to."

just reread the book yesterday...here's changes (darvas, 1977) vs older darvas: -> takes 52 wk high after a 'brutal bear market' rather than all time high. -> does NOT enter the 1st breakout; waits for minor pullback, and THEN enters. -> does not always enter if it feels wrong (i'm guessing...

the book i'm talking about is "you can still make it in the market" i believe published in 1977, which i was fortunate enough to scan from a library. "wall street - the other las vegas" contains lots of anecdotes related to the first book. it's been a few years since i read it, but i was...

opw - yup, the bull market was in the 50s. his 70s book, he modified to '52 wk highs'. and it was still working reasonably well... (he wound up getting oil/gas/energy stocks, i think?)

thanks for the chat... of special interest: his response to the PDT questions, and the potential for options traders through boston exchange...

dafuggin - his book was quite remarkable for its time. it also went out of print in the 60s or 70s, and used copies would change hands at large amounts of money. when it was published, brokers went into a tizzy; it received major magazine coverage, people who didn't believe darvas could...

i don't know if it's nuggets, but in his 1974ish book (he had 2 or 3 followups), he talks about the box method a bit more thoroughly, and talks about shorting via breaking down out of the box...

hey, she called the bottom last year! of course, she said that things were so bad that we should be looking to short, but still... (and that was NOT from a teleprompter).

and, they've been trying to get it legal for them to put a virus on your machine if they suspect you've been downloading ANY music - legal or not. don't forget, a few years back, garth brooks (with the backing of the RIAA / major labels) tried to go after used CD stores. one of the claims...

the NOW compilations are chock full of songs which are easily downloadable. all current hits... however, whether in the UK or the US (or elsewhere in the world) the NOW compilations are immediate best sellers. why? on most of those artists, people want the current hit single from the...

a couple years ago, 2 of the largest music file sharing services were located....in the IT departments of major labels. no kidding. publicity people at some of the labels have also let 'slip out' some of the tunes accidentally - oops! - onto kazaa and morpheus (a while back) to generate...

the major music labels do not want ANYTHING to change and are extremely resistant to change, and will only be dragged into it kicking and screaming. most new breaking types of music are championed by individuals; clive davis was able to succeed by breaking much of the resistance...

to add one minor detail: "except those artists who are megastars and have renegotiated their contracts". basically, when a superstar artist / group is a free agent, they usually get great deals...sometimes, not even related to future album sales!

if you want to hurt the labels, don't buy albums. if you want to hurt the musicians, don't buy concert tix / t-shirts/etc. there's a lot of musicians who couldn't make money off of the terrible contracts with labels, but DID make a living from the road.

well, sort of. on the pink sheets, i think it's ABWGE. their filings weren't *cough* timely...

on either of these two things: "Compare those numbers to the other know smucks that sat in on Squawk, and they are pretty damn good. Personally I think the guy that needs to be bashed more often is permabull Kudlow" what shocks me is how often they kept having that dope from munder on...
