    higher, yeah!! it was so funny today when I was making that last decision whether to buy or not on each stock– to be hearing your teaching run through my head “but are you buying on strength?” “but is it near or at high of day?” “but has it been reaching higher highs?” scary! lol

    At this point, we are looking for buying exhaustion. This may take a while. Until then, enjoy what’s being given.

    im going to take what’s given with ferocity. I have a super underfunded account and im just chasing the biggest momo possible right now. I banked fat coin on overnight $FAS calls today and im going for the same play with getting a $FAS and $GS call before the close.
    I have a small coup of friends picking up starcraft again. Shoot me an email at [email protected] so we can better coordinate times (i don’t want to waste yours, thats for sure)

    Keep your eyes on JAZZ tomorrow – just announced positive results from a second phase lll trial on their Fibromyalgia drug and are shooting for FDA approval by the end of 2009. They’ve got a bunch of presentations coming up next week, but all their stuff has been pro.

    It’s sitting on the 50 day after taking a hot pizza slap down. Jazz Pharmaceuticals has completed two Phase III pivotal clinical trials of JZP-6, with positive results in both studies. Jazz Pharmaceuticals is working to submit a New Drug Application for sodium oxybate for the treatment of fibromyalgia to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by the end of 2009.

    Appreciate your take CA on it but looks like if there’s enough mojo to bust through the 20 day sitting around 8.25 or so the JAZZ rocket might return with a vengeance. Disclosure; long a full position just north of there. I’ll likely load up if it breaks the 20 day.

    HLCS is a strange bird. I was primed to sell late this afternoon as it teetered on the 20 day – in the past this was a launch point – but I’ve seen so much EOD fuckery with this stock (usually a bump up) I held off and sure as shit 1/2 the day’s loss was erased in the last trade or so. They’ve had a string of decent news and the stock has drifted – but the float is such a small percentage of the available shares – I just can’t get my arms around what’s going on at all. I’m holding (a 4x position) because of my conviction in the company / tech and having bought way south of here. Something’s afoot – winning grants – great, but no sales news in 3 weeks.

    Hey CA – Speaking of biotechs, did you catch the nice gap up on $BMTI?

    More than 20 times avg volume, hit a new 52 week high and it didn’t break down south of $14.00 (prior close $12.69).

    My question to you. Buy at the open or wait for a decent pullback? I’m learning tons from you! I can find the strong stocks, I just get paralyzed thinking about what my next step should be.

    Killer shows BTW! — you’re doing such a great thing for us noobs

        LOL Purdy, couldn’t have been any worse than mine at 12.42. Seems to be holding above 50 sma (12.31). I bailed out at 12.34, a decisive break over 12.72 -12.75 would be more like it.

    HLCS update….some crazyness: looks like around 70K shares just sold in a couple of big blocks dropping the price, followed immediately by a couple of big buys totalling close to same number bumping it back up a few minutes later. I’m voting headfake again, still holding.

        as mentioned above, i set a buy stop for $2.61, because that would break the resistance since september 29. It broke above, but i will want to see it close above $2.61 in order for me to feel good for a big move. if it does, we could see $3 tomorrow

    “Take a look at what the indicator shows. In terms of EW within the last W5 we are within W3 of W5. This is of course is like within 5 of 5 of 5 of C. Therefore, expect me to be fully short by end of Monday. Probably actually prior to 12:00EST. By end of Monday the upside will be zero. Most likely by mid Monday there will be zero upside left. My short area is still in the 1073-1090 ES area. I think anything above 1080 is pushing upside and I see this very doubtful.”

    Any guess who wrote that in their blog this past Sunday?

    note from your student in training
    ha ha my GSI “sell or don’t sell?” moment was so funny– just spent a quick amount of time scanning for
    any news about why it was suddenly shooting up-then jumped back to the charts and your teaching and said “look at the chart girl!!” and sold most of it. will wait and watch for re-entry.

    what i loved about the GSI thing today was the convergence of advice/teaching from Fly and John to achieve a successful trade. Fly with the discussion about steel yesterday – John’s teaching on entry/exit points and watching the screen even when it’s boring while playing a movie.

    (and doc I’ve been following JAZZ since your notes to learn– awesome!)

      Nah. My guess JoshDogJulyBear is either found or old money, there’s nothing “real” about him when it comes down to it. Nobody working for a living or dealing with consequences takes hit after hit like this guy does. He’s also big into online poker what does that tell you.

      His blog is full of echoes – no comments, yet he goes on with this mindless babble that would damage someone if they followed it. It should be some kind of blogging crime.

      Hat tip to FLY for keeping FTK on my radar screen. It’s been on my list of languishing tickers that might rise from the dead. Nice EOD move, it’s got a lot of free air and could have one hell of a run if momma market wills it.

    Will watch FTK and GSI very closely this morning– both up a bit AH– and may add to AKAM position also (up to 22.50 from 22.04 AH) and/or watch for exit

      In the past few weeks, there’s been a huge spike in buying volume in the last 5 minutes on a few days (check out the charts on 10/2, 10/5 and 10/6 – on 10/2, it shot up from 1.94 to like 2.14 in the last few minutes, to name a few), so be careful about buying in early trading… though yday’s could be the signal of that huge pop we’ve been waiting for…
