Deep Thoughts

I’m debating booking a few gains here today. Normally it’s a great sign when your longs hold a gain in situations like this, but the speed of the market at these highs is a concern, and the general tone out there is pretty lousy.

I’m contemplating booking gains in REE, VMEM, RVLT, DANG, MY…possibly SOHU.

I’ll update fills as I fling orders.

      “sandwich” time for a little while, then it will be time for our “mojo” to come back. We got everything we need right here in our user base.

    If you didn’t know any of the headlines about Russia/Ukraine…2 of the tells for knowing it isn’t a good morning/day so far…

    #1…number of comments significantly down
    #2…only 3 of the remaining tickers in the tournament are green for the day

    Yep, YGE off about 5% to 5.86, as I wrote last week. Didn’t think it would all happen today, though. Still hanging on.

      They’ve been winning royalty cases all of the time, it seems like. Appeals close behind, as do dilutions to help pay for those lawyers. Good luck!

      @jacked rabbit – yep…exactly always with the appeals. I still have a couple extra shares laying around from back when Fly was touting this one. Its just kind’ve a funny story to keep track of.

      $VHC is kind’ve like an annoying gnat that keeps on buzzing around all the big tech companies. The gnat’s victims keep trying to swat it away to no avail. $VHC’s patent portfolio must be just strong enough to hold up in court.

        It must be with all of the wins they keep racking up. Will they see money before Obama hits em for good, or runs out of secondaries? Only The Shadow knows…

      no idea, how about the opposite? EOD buying as some shorts cash in, then tomorrow crush some of the new buyers as Putin plays a game of charades.

    Yoshii, what screener were u using to figure VIPS earnings would be pretty volatile last week?

    • yoshii11

      I just referenced the chart action, and I’ve been following this one for a long time now. It makes some nice % moves on a daily basis. Then, with the action on DANG, you had to figure this one would get volatile around earnings. Last Friday mom&pops were piling into the stock before earnings, so the easy thing to do, would be to whipsaw them out, and I’m sure some of them did just that on today’s action…they chased.

        Yeah, hard to explain but I don’t even worry about it really. Kind of strange. I guess my risk tolerance is a little high. Haha

    I know it’s not our typical style of trade, but how about JKS here? Positive earnings announcement, solar on it’s way up, and it’s on sale near resistance.
