Research before you act. Better thing is to do research before market opens, so you can quickly seize the opportunities. Market surprises are mostly for the unprepared crowd.

I have always found stocks very difficult to trade after the big, initial gap down - its almost like you have to let them settle down sufficiently - and that could take days to months...

thats the thing i like about charting - its hard to predict earnings and news catalysts that move stocks big, but price and volume patterns can give you some clue of what has happened, and that may clue you in to what is going to happen - but you never know

Different things work for different people.

Understanding what moves stock 100 to 500% in short time gives you an edge over those blindly doing volume and chart patterns.

My philosophy is when you go in to battle you should use the most effective and most lethal weapons.

Yes, I am long on CIEN this morning.

Pradeep, Remember when i pointed out CIEN to you last week?

Unknown said...

charting delivered CIEN

I think it is good for those already long before the gap up, it is unlikely to have much upside potential. Today it is bouncing on earning news.

OXY is a break out of sorts, but volume has been waning over last 4 months or so

if anyone interested, i am part of yahoo chat room of nice people, 5 - 10 people on any given day, mostly discussing long ideas, just no pennies really

Unknown said...

CIEN had a high probability continuation pattern even though it was near gap resistance. Like I said before, there is a fine line between marrying your idea and taking due heat...

Unknown said...

Walter, which chat?

Unknown said...

Another similar stock I was long today was STST (similar setup).
