Scratch shorting the solars...buffet decided to buy a solar farm from FSLR or something ...

couple of charts i am watching

LNG hammer yesterday..picking up some of the bottoms today plus MA lines crossover..bullish

Solar sympathy plays based off of FSLR rally today...LDK, JKS ...buy on dips..today for sells into optimism rally tomorrow

will most probably see a pullback today..but i dont think it will be that deep of a pullback...will probably cover my remaining shorts for small losses after some averaging up

RIMM probably will see a down day today ..but it would be good to pick some up at lows probably below 16.50s ..cuz it will probably trade with the market ..and might jst run on buyout rumors again

Tyranny, hang on to UAL dude... Its gonna fail around 20.80 at MA. When u want to give up, shorts have a habit of going down.... Market us not going down for only 1 or 2 days... It's gonna loose more than 100 points ... Markets may not go up sustainably before last week of this year or may be next year only... This buy rumor market will sell off on news... Hang on to wild ride .....

Threw coupla G's on AMR when it was .38. Washed it at 1.18. I am loving it.

Good for u eastsidaz !!!!

I should have gone all in when it was .20. Myan, I would have a six figure portfolio by now. Damn. Is it my greed talking or what.

That's yr greed bro ... Sooner or later u will learn it .

@eastsidaz..man u bluffing....no trader could have had that perfect of a trade... With the stock being halted more than 10 times in the past three days..The greed factor would have played out numerous times...cuz it was for sure that it was jst a matter of time that the stock got delisted to pinks...
M waiting on my UAL short of 19.84 avg now...for that thing to happen since the past three days

I deny to believe that u made that perfect of a trade...

Hehe.... Tyranny, u r so straight forward man !!!!

It's one thing to say..you flipped it for 20 -30 percent...which is believable...but that shit jst does not happen if u re trading for real

I have been long enough in trading to understand fakes ......cannot still forget Lehman brothers back in 08 ... It's easier saying than doing.

Back to markets,

@Obama
We had a decent pullback in the AM today ..abt 90 points but it jst got bought too darn quick

SPX has tapped 1265 resistance 3 days in a row now and the range is really getting tight
Dow jones is cranking gains everyday
consolidation for a move up??

it all depends on what comes out of the EU summit friday but we might break 1265 on jst optimism
about it alone...and the summit people know how much is riding on the outcome of the summit ...if something bad comes out it will be catastrophic as per the headlines everywhere

but m kinda shifting towards bullishness till Friday (JUDGEMENT DAY )

jst critically thinking out loud here
what says yall?

Tyranny, the after market hours trading for futures, we call globex trading, don't have much of significance, serious breakdowns or breakups in European hours has become more of a factor these days comparing to yester years. So I would focus how market does on newyork hours . I would also watch euro after London opens.
Rather than consolidating, it's failing on its moving average. Let's talk technicals .... How many different kind of bottoming they describe in book ??? Now picturise August low and October low and try to figure out what kind of bottom market is trying to make??? Possible outcomes for me is either double bottom at October lows or head and shoulders reversal as August , October and December lows . The way we shoot up from 1150s last time, the rally itself looks phony... But on rumor type... There are other timer methods to verify right shoulder has not formed properly. If fund managers wanted to buy stocks after Europe news on Friday, we should have sell off now and stocks would have been cheaper..... Imagine who doesn't want to buy cheaper???
This leads me to assume we r waiting for a sell off .... Remember, there should be plenty of buyers to sell whole lot of stocks..and we need lot of people to think market is breaking to upside so that shorts can unload ....
But triple witching next week, year end portfolio dressings and Santa clus rally can prolong this rally. My assumption would be failed for me if S&P closes above 1300. Otherwise stay patient... Good luck

 Tyro, u saying AMR won't go to 1.50

 What's hot for tomorrow? Why is RIMM dipping?

markets just all over the place...hehe
thanks obama for the confidence boost in UAL , covered yesterday at 19.60s for small profits
started another short in it today and m red again on it
short at 20.23 lol FML ..sucker has to drop

the bearish cup and handle(inverted) from cramer's off the charts might play out after all
like u said sell the news ...might jst play out

in some PCYC at 12.85 long ..forming a hammer today after the 10 percent drop...probably bounce a little on monday ...has had 2 downgrades today...jst a technical play ...wish i had held on to my shorts from 15s

later

You r welcome tyranny.  The way market shoot up today reminds me shorting ain't easy. But day-trading let me be bull for a day or two and still be bearish on near term. I will get into charts in the weekends and see weekly closings. If i find anything contrary to my assumption, let u know. I am not holding any short-term plays over the weekends.

TGIF...Have a great weekend guys !!!!

 At what point is it okay to throw coupla G's in AMR again?

 RIMM getting rimmed. When should I get in?

Nepalkochoro must have lost quite a bit, this is turning out to be quite a season for long term investors. I have cashed out most of my holdings just being glad that I can deduct my losses. I do have few long term holdings if they don't fare well, I can use them for next years tax deduction. Sorry to sound so grim but this season freaking is.merry christmas and happy new year boys.

not betting on penny stocks... from a long term perspective, any takers on the following?
