DISQUS

Beanieville: Ok, now this LDK is starting to make me take notice

  • zstock · 2 years ago
    man disqus really can't handle 312 comments....i try to scroll down...and it skips down 20 comments, then i try to scroll back up and it goes up 30 comments....
    I think beannie has to start a new comments section when comments get to 250

    everything is moving s u p e r ... .. . ..s l o w .. ....
    KR...ITRI is momentum...ask beannie...he's a momentum expert....
    ATI...i got stopped out...But I know it's near the Low.....
    DRYS is near the LOW....if not today was the low...
    The only thing i'm 100% sure you will make money on is JBX...Jack in the BOX....
    And if F8, would get it together....( he gets penalty points for this GAF,,,major GAF)...he didn't post anywhere that MOO was on It's BB13 lower line...2 days ago...
    So we missed MOO,BG,POT...all of it....
    Do you know how to do a BB13 = bollinger Band 13,2 at stockcharts?
    if you do that would sure help....!!!...us...
    FCX...as long as EWZ keeps going up ...FCX,PCU,RIO,BVN, keep going up....

  • troyhouse · 2 years ago
    where is the new post....eagerly waiting...!!
  • Van_G · 2 years ago
    i second that!!!!
  • zstock · 2 years ago
    F8
    i'm seeing it too

    after about 250 comments
    i think Discus gets really noticeably slow.....
    zee
  • beanieville · 2 years ago
    But it makes up for it by taking us directly to the latest comment. The old comment system does not do that.
  • zstock · 2 years ago
    UNP is a buy at 118.9 = 100 day
    And then again at 116 = 200 day...
    probably should have bought DRYS today
    didn't realize UNP was finished going down...30/50...signal...too...
    KR’s.. DRYS... gets saved by the 30/50 UNP buy signal....
    And the crowd goes wild...!!!...!!!

  • zstock · 2 years ago
    oh man my browser won't let me post like this....
    keeps skipping to someones profile....this sucks....

    BUY JBX...”””hold until releived”””.....JBX hits it’s 200 day...and that’s a 33% gain...
    now , that’s what i call, beating the major index’s...
    Or you can stock up on JAN 22.5 and 25 calls...
  • troyhouse · 2 years ago
    Comment on top please..!!

    Glad I got N at 27 and then added at 31 and 32 and it now 36.20/- AH.

    I am still holding LDK; when do you guys think LDK will stop falling and actually go up... LOL
  • troyhouse · 2 years ago
    I predict beanie will feature N in the new topic...!!
  • zstock · 2 years ago
    TGT
    please post at the top
    strings don't work
    i almost missed your post....
    I'm backing in the truck on the first up day...or 48.3

    TGT...bad news...TGT...BB13 says buy at 48.3 = about RSI 30 so that’s a good sign...
    $8 price channel looks like it moved down to new channel..$48 to $56
  • beanieville · 2 years ago
    oh wow, just got back and RIMM on fire!

    N is going much higher. Let me tell ya a secret later.

    SBUX = beannie
    It’s a buy now situation.....
    JBX,YUM...made the watchlist...
    YUM has a huge 30/50 BUY SIGNAL...
  • zstock · 2 years ago
    there's a HUGE buy signal..LDK 41.8...don't know if it gets that low....
    seems to be passing the gap test 45 support just fine...
    zee
  • zstock · 2 years ago
    DRYS and EXM still inside the lower BB13 band..the upper band DRYS is $95 = short term target....
    And $66...sept low...i doubt DRYS gets that low...but if it does...I’m backing in 101 trucks...and won’t sell till I see $95...
    zee
  • zstock · 2 years ago
    if YUM is down tomorrow..I'm backing in 4 hundred and 77 trucks...
    zee.....
    JBX...is looking pretty good...Yah'll....just wait for the falling knife to stop...and then bet the farm....
    oh boy..!!!...!!!
    Did you see? BWLD..hahahaaaa...I sure am glad i didn't listen to so and so,,,,whoever you are....down 10% today...and I got puts on it today...RSI 29 short signal...
  • TGT · 2 years ago
    Z, I backed up TGT based on your post two days back. It is seriously down. 5 Jan 50 calls. Should I hold or sell?
  • zstock · 2 years ago
    Hahahahhaaaa
    MY RIMM STRANGLE IS UP 115%.....

  • zstock · 2 years ago
    NOW,
    RIMM STRADDLE
    Have to use JAN csalls...shoot....
    GAIN is only 9%...on $5 to $7 move...
    $8 move gain is 17%
    Buy the JAN 125 call
    And the
    JAN 85 PUT...
    Just keep in mind RIMM, target price, by the pundits ...is new yearly high....
    I have it posted somewhere...the actual number...
    So a $10 move...and you make 30%...
    And a $15 move...well, you get the picture...
    zee
  • zstock · 2 years ago
    FDX warns, on fuel costs...so DRYS , EXM hit again, by the same headline,
    So, ive decided to stay out of Transpo, until UNP and FDX stop falling...hopefully it’s today....but if they are still down tomorrow, i’m buying..probably
    EXM 200 day = 37.3..i doubt EXM, gets that low...
    TBSI...is right at the 200 day...
    LDK i can see the short term target price = 57 = top of the gap...just don’t see the low yet...
    SOLF, looks like a buy...
  • KR · 2 years ago
    Z, Do you think I should double up on DRYS or wait... Man getting killed big time... sorry to bother... I missed your call on CCJ.. nice job.. I picked up some ITRI this morning - looks like it will breakout... wut u think?

    KR
  • beanieville · 2 years ago
    Ok, i'm going mobile.

    I am looking at the charts of RIMM. I see a Corkscrew formation, no different than the one zstock brought up about VMW awhile back. Oh, how i just love patterns with interesting names! :)

    Pretty high probability RIMM is gonna gap up tomorrow.

    I want a small position.
  • beanieville · 2 years ago
    N is a good long term play. Whatever Larry Ellison touches usually turns to go.

  • beanieville · 2 years ago
    Is it possible that the solars are so strong they don't give a damn about some Chinese LDK?

    stay tuned..
  • beanieville · 2 years ago
    I bought LDK, half portion.

    Not greedy.
  • beanieville · 2 years ago
    i no longer have FSLR short.

    bought 1/2 portion

    I love this stock too much
  • beanieville · 2 years ago
    Alrighty, no more commentary from me till tonite. I gotta go. But i did set some stop buys in case the market rockets north.

    Good luck and have a great day!
  • beanieville · 2 years ago
    oh , one more thing... CSIQ is very resilient.

    Watch to see if there's one more leg down, then back up the truck.

    Long CSIQ (soon), short Scibby.
  • Ctrades · 2 years ago
    CSIQ is a $50 stock your buying for $26
    Load up this is the stock of 08
    Will see $100+ by 09, to little float to much growth
  • beanieville · 2 years ago
    vanG,

    i think EMKR is a $20 in the making.
  • zstock · 2 years ago
    CCJ sold half of my calls...
    ATI...stopped out...will wait for august low 80...
    LDK...+75% ..on the DEC straddle play...that’s the first time i made money on a straddle...so there’s hope for me after all..
    ITRI
    Sold half my calls..
    CLB..calls i’ll never sell those..
  • zstock · 2 years ago
    KR
    Sorry about DRYS, the good news is 85 = 100 day...and DRYS will get to that for sure...
    And hopefully 70 is the support...sure looks like it...
  • beanieville · 2 years ago
    Sorry folks, i'm secretly praying that the market hits the pavement...
  • beanieville · 2 years ago
    Have patience with LDK. They want to take it to 40. I would love to boatload it at that price.
  • Van_G · 2 years ago
    i'm with you, beanie.....i really hope that they take LDK down hard

    i'm getting ready to sell some TSL & one other financial (after Jan 1st. for tax reasons)

    i'd love to "load the boat" somewhere in the mid-$40's

    i missed the 1st run after balking when the price was running from the $30's into the $40's

    not often you get a 2nd chance on a stock at a cheap level (ie: BIDU/FSLR/SPWR)
  • beanieville · 2 years ago
    Just to let ya know, i hold no solars now except SPWR, which i will unload as it turns negative.

    Will be watching througout the day for any turnarounds.

    Good luck.
  • beanieville · 2 years ago
    i think you can pretty much short solars today. Just watch them shorts.
  • fortune8 · 2 years ago
    Okay people.

    Repeatedly post analyst's price target is not going to prevent the stock from tanking. It's a sign of desperatin. Also, the price target is long term, not today's price target. If you truly believe the analyst, which I don't, then this present a great buying opportunity for you.

    The question now is will the PUTS maximize today or tomorrow?

    If you got one of those 8-ball, please shake it and tell me what it says.
  • beanieville · 2 years ago
    i'm selling my CSIQ. Will see what shakes.
  • beanieville · 2 years ago
    Note that CSIQ is oversold towards the close. Could go higher in the morning.
  • beanieville · 2 years ago
    I sold my LDK. Shooting first and asking questions later.

    Since i like LDK more than CSIQ , it stands to reason i sell CSIQ too.
  • beanieville · 2 years ago
    Volume on LDK seems kinda low.

    They might screw the shorts if volume doesn't pick up. Reverse JASO?

    Pay attention.
  • beanieville · 2 years ago
    Then again, we also have to consider the 1 million shares trades on LDK afterhours yesterday.
  • beanieville · 2 years ago
    Piper Jeffrey downgrades LDK to $34.50

    lol. That wasn't nice.
  • newb · 2 years ago
    One big leson for me is the stock market has a mind of its own, They met earnings, raised guiadence, announced they will produce 800mw by the end of 2008 which is double this year. Also just about the same as Fslrs 900mw by 2009. Granted Fslr is a better company with less shares. Still the Piper jeffreys downgrades. Ive still got alot to learn. But thank you Beanie/Scibby for saving me some $$
  • scibby · 2 years ago
    holy Jesus, thats the best xmas presnet i could ever get....

    another FED auction / 20Billion loan... to the banks,
    NKE blew out the retail numbers...so watch the retail sector rally....

    Fast Money wants you folks to get into RIMM before earnings. I think the Najarian Bulldog and Shiny Macke are correct - the stock will most likely gap higher.

    TGT...

    it is at 48.3...lower BB13 band..= sometimes it's a good indicator for the next lower price to get into something...or TGT holds at 50...
    ..it's going to be tough to get your 3.70 back if at all....
    that 50..strike is headed to 1.90 /2.15...unless TGT gaps up soon...or never retests 49...
    I nearly missed your comment again....
    you can't use the reply option on this format...
    you have to post at the top...
    and next time a strike cost 3.70 even money...whatever ... 50 strike, and $50 stock price. ( is even money strike, I don't know what the technical term is).....ask me to go get the best strike for you...
    it's no problem...

    and 5 days from now the crowd will be asking me about JBX....
    by then i will have made my money...and moved on to the next beaten down thing....LIKE BAC..= ( 8% dividend at current price)..but no-one beleives me on that either....go figure....

    I am out of their comfort zone...cause these are just strange stocks to everyone.....

    ( su, I owe you for TDW...I’m sure JBX will more than make up for that...buy the JAN 20and 25 calls)

    zee
  • zstock · 2 years ago
    I do have some thoughts on ATI...
    They go like this
    I’m watching TIE..( you have to know there is a relationship between TIE, AATI and RTI)....it (TIE).. has a low of 25..well its at 26 and 25 is about 4% lower than that ...so ATI might go 4% lower or 76..it’s aug low..or some such..and then there’s RTI..well it already made a move up.....so RTI might have a down day tomorrow..which is perfect...cause that’ll be a red white red buy signal...and if TIE is closer to 25 than 26...then that might be the buy signal for ATI...cause, yesterday, sure wasn’t the buy signal...cause I got stopped out...
    At some point I’m just going to have to buy the ATI jan 75/80 /85 call...and then that’s it....i’ll just have to wait...till it’s in profit...

    DEC 20
    TGT who bought
    Target at 50.2
    You bought the JAN 50 calls...for $3.00 or whatever....
    That just totally breaks all my rules in picking the right strike.....
    First of all, if Target doesn’t get to $51 next Wed...
    you will lose $60 just on time factor...or 20%....
    Second there’s a JAN 52.5 and 55 call...
    If the $55 call isn’t selling for 0.90/ $1.05......
    then it’s overpriced ..which equals another 20% / 25% trap....these guys are really smart in getting 25% out of your pocket....they are some of the smartest guys in the room....
    So I can throw out 50..dumb...52.5...and $55...that only leaves
    JAN TGT 45 call = 6.00.....Yeah..!!!...!!!...
    now that’s what i call the right strike...delta 80.....
    so the remedy...get out of 50 AND BUY 45
    ZEE
  • TGT · 2 years ago
    Delta 80, stock replacement strategy. I got TGT for $3.7.
    At this point i am not even sure if TGT is a good buy.

    Here is an idea for you. Not sure if I will be executing it or not.

    But you can take the money you have made from the PUTS and turn around to buy CALLS at this price.
  • fortune8 · 2 years ago
    Can you believe it?

    I had the price for PUTS at 2.50 and the high was 2.45.

    I sold at 2.30 and it did not take any time to execute.

    From this action, I am thinking that there may be more profit on the table.

    Regardless, I am good with it.

    Now if LDK does a U-turn, the CALLS will be good.
  • fortune8 · 2 years ago
    dog,

    Don't sacrifice yourself yourself.

    Van,

    That is my guess.

    There are times when I put in orders and it just stays there.

    And today, it took seconds to execute the PUTS.
  • Van_G · 2 years ago
    fortune -

    trying to follow you here, please have patience

    what you're saying is it looks from the option action, that there is more downside to LDK?

    LDK@40 would be nice.

    For once, I hope beanie is right.

    This sucker needs to break 50 first.

    Watch the MACD and STOCH.

    Wonder where nova is at?
  • Van_G · 2 years ago
    Beanie, fortune, docqb, zee :

    if LDK doesn't break BELOW the $50 level today, is it time to cover short sells/puts?

    or should we give it another day?

    i'm wondering if big boys are going to take LDK down, how quickly they will do it

    i shorted LDK @ $54.50

    i want to buy some LT shares as low as possible
  • Van_G · 2 years ago
    i like LDK's position in the market

    plus, if beanie has LDK as one of his long-term stocks, then it's good enough for me

    I would put in order for the price you want.

    You can sell them individually or together.

    You have 30 days until expiration.

    If you want less risk, then sell them together; otherwise, sell the individually.

    Let's say LDK drops to 50, do you think it will come back?

    If you don't think it will come back, then dump them together.

    Forget about paper trade because it is a waste of time. Paper trading will make you careless because you are not playing with real money. There is no emotion attached. You have nothing to lose. If I was paper trading, then I would be shorting every solar stocks like scibby. I am sorry scibby. I cannot docqb recommended that. Just think about all the virtual profit you have and you will be happy. No need to trade for real.

    Now go imagine yourself being stabbled and feel the virtual pain. After that, go stab yourself. And I mean really hard. Does it feel the same?

    ..As far as ITRI goes - I am thinking of picking up some more of those 90 jan calls ... although its a challenge to buy these calls cause of the .70cents bid/ask difference... same is with CLB... suckssssss.. oh well..

    But Scott Sweet, senior managing partner of IPO Boutique, expressed concern that the company (Netsuite) may be getting overvalued. The stock's shaky start underscored his concerns, he said Thursday morning.
    "Once again the Dutch auction concept failed to live up to its self-described mantra as being a better conduit in the pricing of an IPO by the investors than the standard method of pricing by the underwriters," Sweet said. "In past Dutch auction deals, and it appears the same in this case, investors put in overzealous high bids to 'beat' others in a scramble to get shares. In doing so, it is highly likely that it has greatly diminished the IPO's performance and highly overvalued the company."
    He said the "early big winner" in the process is NetSuite, and the "losers" are investors who "are left questioning why they put in bids that were unrealistic."
    NetSuite CEO Zach Nelson said his team saw the auction as a way to set a fair price.
    "It's usually hard to argue with markets," he said Thursday after trading began. "So when the market speaks we listen to it. It was a market-driven process, a very democratic process."
    Analysts say NetSuite's IPO highlights the rapidly growing on-demand software market, made popular by Salesforce.com (CRM).
    The company's debut also attracted much attention because its biggest investor had been Oracle Corp. (ORCL)
  • Docqb · 2 years ago

    "It's usually hard to argue with markets," he said Thursday after trading began. "So when the market speaks we listen to it. It was a market-driven process, a very democratic process." At least for today, the mkt has spoken, loudly.... tommorrow it may have a different voice

    that's right

    wish i held firm until the close on my LDK short sale

    oh well...can't complain when you book a profit

    that's been my downfall in daytrading thus far = i find it very difficult to book profits; i guess that's the LT investor in me coming out

    i also find that this is very emotional & i tend to trade on imulse alot = i need to control that as well b/c it has cost me alot of lost gains

    Hi Z,

    BG is in a trading range and I think It will soon breakout - recently it was mentioned in the Navallier newsletter but he got stopped out.. I think it will run with the others but I am playing the range when it keep bouncing off the 50day M/A, .. I am currently lookin at MOMO players like MA, GOOG and few others. I did play your TSO call few days ago and made a decent return,,,, sold a bit early though.. hahah..( i guess its good to lock in some profits) I am definately kicking myself not picking up CCJ and Instead got stuck with DRYS ..... damn! I currently have few jan calls on ITRI and CLB ... I think your CAL call makes a lot of sense... i am looking into the JBX and YUM now... will let you know if I get in... I am thinkin of buyin more of ITRI and CLB... looking good... the 20dma just crossed 10dma and its looking very bullish for ITRI...... will keep you posted.. thanks

  • Docqb · 2 years ago
    Van,

    chart looks good. give us some dd and i'm sure we'll check
  • Van_G · 2 years ago
    ok here goes, so bear with me

    GIGM has their fingers in a ton of gaming/gambling partnerships. one of their subsidiary companies (basically a shell company for GIGM) runs the 6th-largest on-line poker in the world (behind Pokerstars, etc.) called Everest Poker. that is where all the earnings comes from right now. that site is growing by leaps & bounds.

    the kicker is all of the deals that are yet to be rolled out: on-line Mahjong wagering; an Asian gaming/gambling platform (pachinko, etc.); they have the rights to sell several yet-to-be released on-line casual games, etc. in Asia - just to name a few deals/partnerships

    GIGM will earn $0.95 per share in 2008 WITHOUT any of the deals that are in the works that i just mentioned, meaning GIGM is trading at only a P/E of around 20 while growing at a 5-year expected growth rate of 35%

    if any of these deals come on board in the next 6 months, we are talking MUCH more than $0.95 per share

    i think GIGM is a $40 stock trading at $20 right now
  • Docqb · 2 years ago
    Great, I'll check em out. I'm not crazy about gaming stocks, but I did make some good money on LVS with the macau rollout
  • Van_G · 2 years ago
    oh yeah.....and no LT debt for GIGM

  • troyhouse · 2 years ago
    Z, f8 and others, need opinion:, is this scenario possible for LDK, someone posted this on MB:

    This is the scenario I can see:
    - 30 minutes after market open, LDK goes down to 44.5. Dec 45 call will be around 0.25/contract.
    - 1 hr later, LDK bounces back to 45+, then 47 and passes 50. It stays there for a while.
    - 1hr before market close, LDK will go higher than 52 and might close at 53+.

    How to make money?
    1) Buy common stock at 44.75 if you have money, sell at 52+
    2) Buy Dec 45 call, spend 2.5k for 100 contracts and sell your option at $7/contract to profit 50K-70K.
    I'll do it tomorrow.

    Even a blind squirrel can find a nut some times.

    If meteorologists cannot even predict the weather with accuracy, then how is this guy able to predict the price movement of a stock? He may be right, but it is all luck. If you want to gamble, then gamble. Furthermore, just because he posted the information, there is no guarantee that he will make the trades. I won't shit you because you are my favorite turd. But may be someone else will.

    Here is the chart

    http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=LDK&p=D&b=5&g=...

    This is what I see.

    The gap has been filled.
    It is not oversold yet.
    MACD is turning down.
    OBV is turning down.

    Here is another chart.

    For Uranium, I like CCJ, URRE & USU. Unfortunately, there arent a lot of pure uranium plays in the US. SGR is a good play on nuclear as well.

    ok....i chickened out & covered the other half @ $49.50

    i saw how much nicer my account looks right now than yesterday's close & decided to take the profits & run

    i'm thinking about getting back into EMKR - it's consolidated nicely the last day & a half around the $14 level
  • Van_G · 2 years ago
    beanie -

    any thoughts on EMKR at this level?
  • lisa · 2 years ago
    I do not think LDK will be down to $40. You better to cover now. After about 30% drop and good earning and forward guidance, the correction is done.
  • Docqb · 2 years ago
    Van,

    Made a point and a half on my RIMM long, out, mkt looks weak..... Piper prolly set the 2/3 retrace to below 50
  • Docqb · 2 years ago
    Van,

    looks like yer gonna get yer wish, look out below
  • Van_G · 2 years ago

    good boy!!!
  • Docqb · 2 years ago
    ohhhh, a lot of the brokerages are restricting their shares on solars for short positions...... is somebody worried ? lol
  • Docqb · 2 years ago
    Van,

    Happy for ya, u cleanin up bro......
  • Van_G · 2 years ago
    thanks.....i needed this one

    i'm as bullish as anyone on solars, but i can play both ways, too!!!
  • Van_G · 2 years ago
    this is the short's chance at BELOW $50

    Fortune,

    Wanna box RIMM for fun ?
  • Docqb · 2 years ago
    Z,

    gonna box RIMM, wish me luck...lol
  • Van_G · 2 years ago
    just covered half my short on LDK @ $49.20

    that a 10% move for me this morning, not bad

    i'll let the other half go for a couple more points ($47 range)
  • Docqb · 2 years ago
    Fortune,

    ya still got them puts ?
  • fortune8 · 2 years ago
    Yup!

    Going to see if that gap is filled.

    It's only a double, but not enough :=)
  • Docqb · 2 years ago
    RIMM running
  • Jason · 2 years ago
    Do the expectation of RIMM having a good quarter make it harder for them to rise after earnings are out? Am I alone in think that RIMM will go down after earnings?
  • fortune8 · 2 years ago
    You are not alone.

    For this reason, I am not buying RIMM.

    It does have the potential to get to 120 and break 100 every quickly.
  • ven88 · 2 years ago
    out of LDK with $2k loss ! oh my god, i didnt realize until i see the gain/loss
    dont know what to do, need to get my 2k :(
  • KR · 2 years ago
    Fortune8/zstock,

    Any thoughts on where my stop loss should be on Drys... man this is not good... I think there is huge support around 70 but not sure what the hec is going on with this stockk.. your thoughts?

    KR
  • Docqb · 2 years ago
    Mkt turning, we may have a bottom in
  • Docqb · 2 years ago
    Fortune,

    My best guess on LDK, could turn here on 1/3 retrace
  • Van_G · 2 years ago
    Scibby said...

    remember LDK has to close 2 gaps, with the one further down between 47 and 51..... so will open low, and go down all day.

    Stay away of it...and you can try to buy a bounce next week after the storm has settled and options expired..

    similar story stocks.... VDSI, CROX, TSL .... all had 37% hairline cuts after earnings that was close to expiration. I dont know why but it works.... but most of the find support at the 0.618 fibonacci level.

    Based on my charting skills, I cannot see any support for LDK until the DMAs are hit, as the uptrend from 26.56 to 75.65 was too quick (just 13 days), so it will retreat at least 61.8% of the move, i.e. to $45.32 or 2/3 of the move to $42.93... which basically is very close to the 50/200 DMAs.

  • scibby · 2 years ago
    thanks for remindeing everyone on this point.... i am unsure if i take profits at $53... coz it looks like holding above this gap.... i need to take profits today....
  • Van_G · 2 years ago
    i am aa little unclear on your point

    are you holding onto your short/put or are you making sure & selling it today?

    based on the trading today, do u still think that LDK is destined to fill that gap around $47-$51.00?
  • scibby · 2 years ago
    i think yes, it needs to fill the gap (in fact it on a 10 day chart support was at 51.31, and today it held that level (53.19)), but if it doesnt take it tonight, most probably it will take it tomorrw, but tmrw I have a lunch when the market opens (as I am european) so i wont be able to monitor as thus i take whatever profit is on the table tonight.

    are we looking to go LONG at the open & trade for a quick bounce up around $58-59?
  • fortune8 · 2 years ago
    Are you kidding me?

    Have you looked at the chart?
  • Docqb · 2 years ago
    Van,

    check out RIMM
  • fortune8 · 2 years ago
    Do some window shopping/
  • Van_G · 2 years ago
    checked it out

    it's up 3% in PM

    good earnings play today i presume

    what's the most we can expect out of it?
  • Docqb · 2 years ago
    Invert yer strategy on the straddle, sell the puts and the calls, make sure you check delta, and you take advantage of time decay when they strip the premium, i usually go a couple of months out. This way, you trade on the side of the house, and as we all know, the house never loses...
  • Docqb · 2 years ago
    Scibby,

    So what if it just wants to do a 1/3 retrace ?
  • scibby · 2 years ago
    i dont understand..... what does a one third retrace mean to you, price wise... please explain?

    all i can say is that it will be brutal... just remember way back in Oct this stock declined from 71.75 to 37.26 in 3 days on the "accounting investigation"... that is a 48% haircut...

    ppl will be fearful of a similar repeat .... they will bail left right and centre...

    dont try to catch a falling knife.

  • Docqb · 2 years ago
    Fortune,

    Keep the faith bro....I was gettin the crapped kicked outta me early mon morn with my long stuff..... I like that, cuz it gives me an opportunity to turn and tear... (my coined phrase) which i did !!. That's what i like about beanie or I wouldn't be here. Dude is nice to everybody and doesn't worry too much bout what people say and he ain't gonna bar anyone from the room. And I tell ya, I ain't been in the room long, but he's makin a ton of money

  • Docqb · 2 years ago
    And Ski, ya can buy the calls also, but broker can limited loss by adjusting premium in their favor on the way up
  • ski · 2 years ago
    not sure i'm followin' ya there doc, if ya buying calls w/limit orders?
  • Docqb · 2 years ago
    Well, if ya think it's goin up, and it's not goin up forever, hedge yer bet, sell the put a month or two out, let the premium decay and strip on value

    I ain't never met a stock I wanted to marry yet, matter of fact, I threw LDK out of a 20 story window soon as they started dumpin it, if there is one golden rule I've learned, doesn't matter what I think the market is gonna do, what matters is matching up with what it does....

    Not so fast. Scibby thinks solars are dead dead dead, as in they become the next ethanols. I favor only a short term correction. But we gotta see because ORCL blew earnings out of the park and RIMM reports thursday evening and is expected to be great.

  • Trading · 2 years ago
    I think LDK will be fine - it's acting like STP did a month ago. Overall it's just a matter of whether you want to wait out a few months for it to stabilize or free up your money. It's still up 20% from where it was several weeks ago in the 40's.

    Thank you for the CCJ rec. Bought 15 Jan 37.5 calls two days ago and been smiling, up a couple grand. I think this leg up may start to slow right around $39.50-$40. Do you think it has the legs to go higher or should I just be happy being up 95% in 2 days?

    Let's take a guess at what Scibby's stock he is going to short today is.

  • barkingdognyc · 2 years ago
    What would you make of the recent activity?
  • su · 2 years ago
    Jason looks like GTOP nes is released...its already down 40%
  • Jason · 2 years ago
    Its weird because GTOP dropped at the announcement that the results for the trial would come out today at 4pm. The results havn't been made public yet. Unless there is some leak that was coordinated with the announcement of the results, I don't see how the stock price has anything to do with the actual results. I think the price dropped due to scared money of people that were hoping the stock would run up until results announced. Once they figured out when the announcement was they all fled. We'll see though. Odds are that the results wil fail, but you never know if you have another DNDN. This could be it. We'll know in a few hours.

    Who is making what here? Beanie is not your broker...only gives you additional remarks about the market and stocks that are hot and have the possibility of being 10 baggers.

    The market has been on the downside lately and then the ones who are negative about the market make money... You should have bought those CCJ Calls Z recommended...that would have covered your losses, it did with mine.

    GTOP NEWS:

    "We note GTOP is trading down roughly 30% after announcing that it will hold a conference call today at 2 p.m. PST/5 p.m. EST to discuss the initial results of its pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial examining MyVax personalized immunotherapy in previously untreated follicular B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The co intends to issue a press release after 4:00 p.m. EST today announcing the initial results of its Phase 3 clinical trial."

    too much like vegas in here today.
  • Jason · 2 years ago
    Yup, RIMM is exploding before our eyes. Perhaps sees $125 tomorrow.

    I gambled with $1,000 shares of GTOP. We'll see what happens. Pissed though. I bought $1,000 shares at $4.00 and put a stop loss in at $2.25. Announcement of the announcement comes and I walk away from the PC. I come back and my shares were sold. I look at the current price ($3.06) and then I look at the low ($2.25). I was pissed! Bought another $1,000 shares at $2.46. Lost a couple hundred to do it again. This time I have a stop loss at $1.00. My fingers are crossed.

    guys, i m back... guess what i did... i took out half of my profits today on that LDK trade....

    i still have those CSIQ puts... ok worthless .... but I will wait till option expiration tmrw.... do or die (like LDK).

    as regards to trading, i was not going to trade but i found another huge opportunity to trade - it is a very easy and obvious bet. I will advise you when to go in...

    again I am going to be short on this one... Its set for a free fall .....

    mark this post, I will short it 15mins before the close most probably.

    I dont know if luck is on my side but this is my day today....i feel it.

  • Van_G · 2 years ago
    scibby is such a tease!!!!! :)
  • scibby · 2 years ago
    Hi F8.... yes, i hold my STP short put, which i'm losing money on it, I will close tmrw at a loss as it options expiry date, i might roll over...

    I dont own any JASO puts, never owned, sriously though i said it would fall.

    I knew LDK would go to 47 but was impatient....

    I still hold quite few CSIQ puts @ 25, expiring tmrw... technically they are worth nothing so far.

    And the big name today is RIMM.... just bought an in the money Jan put.
    Safe money...

    i wanted to wait another 20mins to short it but its losing its strenght, i thought it would go above its recent high of 109, and hit the 50 day MA... but i guess its going to be similar to the LDK story... its weak... so sell the weakness..

    look at the chart ... i has over 14 days of selling by the pros between 98 and 100... around 12 point range... it looks pretty obvious...

    i dont think this will get a 37% hairline cut... but i have drawn some trendlines... which i will post for you to see on my blog... gimme 5mins

    RIMM looks fishy and I hate fish unless it's deep fry.

    I don't always agree with you, but I respect you.

    Enjoy your Holidays and presents :=)

    Here is my earnings play for today

    http://scibbytrading.blogspot.com/2007/12/short...

    my trade idea. please do your dd before trading... don't trade on my recommendations alone, as i might be wrong and i am not responsible for your losses.

    guys... i know beanie is long RIMM, and long CSIQ, and i am the other way.

    I respect beanie a lot even though he mocks me, I would not be able to show my trades unless it was for him to build this community, so I am just happy that he keeps his status here, and in no way i wish to take his fans to my blog.

    This is the place to be.

    i, for one, totally agree

    beanie has made me serious cash with solars

    it's good to have all opinions here & it just happens that scibby is a contrarian to beanie most of the time

    as an investor, i feel that i need to hear both sides of the story in order to make a good, sound decision

    keep it up, beanie....you are awesome!!!!

    guys, RIMM is already down $1 from where i bought, in just a few minutes... i smell a similar LDK story here... remember what happened yday 10mins to the close...

    something has leaked!!! I might be right once again.

    We'll know in 15mins

    i am not dead.... just a bit in pain, but heal will found very soon.

    joke of earnings, everything in line. It will fall... watch the trendlines!
  • Jason · 2 years ago
    Honestly Scibby, as someone said already, we all appreciate opinions from both sides. But for you to say that everything is okay and that RIMM will fall after they beat and guide higher makes you seem ignorant. Take your lumps on the chin like a man and admit a bad call, like others here did on LDK. You can't win them all.
  • scibby · 2 years ago
    RIMM party is over... it always falls after earnings... it failed 120 level.... its still trading in the channel... failed to make new highs... failed to raise guidance.... analysts will issue hold or reduce... wait for CC.

    recently same thing happened with DRYS (similar earnings results)... went from 105 to 119 and back to 90s. same story... history repeating itself... i bought the jan put to safeguard my self... will end up a winner.
  • Jason · 2 years ago
    DRYS never went from $105 to $119 after earnings announcement. It went from $109 to $97 or so. I never went up and then down. You lost. Judging from the sound of your winning personality, I'm glad.

    so why did Cramer say SELL on RIMM?
  • beanieville · 2 years ago
    it's getting close to resistance near 120

    Hi Guys, as beanie says, we should see below 50 today..

    remember LDK has to close 2 gaps, with the one further down between 47 and 51..... so will open low, and go down all day.

    Stay away of it...and you can try to buy a bounce next week after the storm has settled and options expired..

    similar story stocks.... VDSI, CROX, TSL .... all had 37% hairline cuts after earnings that was close to expiration. I dont know why but it works.... but most of the find support at the 0.618 fibonacci level.

    Based on my charting skills, I cannot see any support for LDK until the DMAs are hit, as the uptrend from 26.56 to 75.65 was too quick (just 13 days), so it will retreat at least 61.8% of the move, i.e. to $45.32 or 2/3 of the move to $42.93... which basically is very close to the 50/200 DMAs.
