6 Stocks In Play: Why Using Varying Time Frames Is So Crucial
Here are 6 stocks I’m watching—notice the charts use varying time frames…in order to put recent price action into perspective and to better understand how/if history will repeat and get the appropriate resistance/support levels, you gotta see how the stock fared the last time it surged so quickly/neared such prices…judging by the looks of these setups, probly won’t be any ideal trades today…what’s a stalker to do?
PSTI, ahhh, no shares available to short at Thinkorswim
Everyone’s getting all riled up to short QTWW, but as you see on this chart, it can go a lot further…got 3k shares borrowed just in case
CNEH is a Fous buy pick, I like the successful breakout of $2.5, but not sure how much this’ll run here…my buy point would be if it can break $4.50 on strong volume…ideally gradually…in a few weeks
GEECF still isn’t up enough yet for me to short
I don’t even need to research ENVI, I’ve seen the pattern a million times, classic Pink Sheet getting pumped, only those with balls the size of Tokyo buy shares
UFPT failed to breakout at $8.75, short have rushed in, game still isn’t over, I’d look to buy if the stock ever succeeds

AGEN worth a short 3.80? quick spike on CNBC
8InvestorsLive.com
April 8th, 2008 at 8:45 am
Ah didn’t see you posted it, short at 3.75 covered quickly (I like to lock in quick gains) this one could easily catch momentum for over the 4’s so I’d rather just be in and out

RGEN was a perfect short- at morning spike… sorry for my delay

JESUS, LOOK AT ENVI!
Tim, you called that one pretty well. WISH I HAD SHORTED LIKE YOU SAID!
Yikes, Sykes, that’s some sketchy premonition-like shit you’re having with this micros. My hat off to you!

If ENVI breaks $2.51 would you shor it?
13tyler
April 8th, 2008 at 9:15 am

QTWW wish it had spiked more out of open to give us a nice short opportunity on the day.
AGEN Trying to bottom here but it doesn’t want to move towards the upside
And WSCI and VISN both gave the 50 cent on the down side but still nothing really jumping out
16Gary
April 8th, 2008 at 9:44 am
Has anyone looked at COCO? Could be a nice 50 cent drop!
17Daniel
April 8th, 2008 at 9:47 am
Anyone taken a look at RGEN today?
18timsykes
April 8th, 2008 at 9:47 am
no COCO is a bull flag
19timsykes
April 8th, 2008 at 9:48 am
yes RGEN would be a good breakout but its not likely
20Gary
April 8th, 2008 at 9:53 am
Thanks Tim. That pattern didn’t stick out to me. Question about it,
On the Bull Flag, it has to be a flag on an upward trend. If you pull back to the 200 day mark. The stock is on a down trend, BIG TIME.
So you would still call this a Bull Flag with only a 7 day up trend before the flag?

Why Scottrade is not letting me buy GRO? When I tried to buy GRO at $5, it says, “Please contact your local branch about placing an order on this security.” It is not a short selling, it is buying!! I don’t get it.
27cacaosteve
April 8th, 2008 at 10:40 am
Call them and ask, maybe it’s because it was under $5. If you call they will put it through with only your account number and “i want to buy x shares of GRO”.
28lmsmith
April 8th, 2008 at 10:53 am
SCOTTRADE Are a bunch of Haters__ I got in at 4.40…. then they want to call me an hour later talking about how my margin buying power is over inflated….. when I did not even use margin to purchase the stock….it was my own cash…… so they probably put a block on it.

Hey ViciousChicken - the TIMZONE issue has been fixed. Things fucked up because of the day light savings. The server and posts time should all reflect EST

Would PSTI, be a good short now, low volume, afternoon fade, or is it too risky for a end of day spike.

Glad to see that CNEH is a focus buy of yours.. bought this stock at 90 cents (during it’s first breakout move) and didn’t have enough discipline to blow out of the shares when it was about 20% off of its highs. It has been a painful last 3 months (ended up selling some shares at 2 bucks only to buy them back at 2.50), but the I think the fundamentals will eventually drive this higher. I just wished I had traded this better and wasn’t blinded by the Funnymentals.

I think DYII is a definite buy for the short term. Strong momentum and chart. Can be a multi-day runner.

NCEN…nice
39timsykes
April 8th, 2008 at 2:30 pm

CNEH is a Fous pick, not Focus pick, Fous is another blogger
PSTI, yes can u find shares to short though?
damn NCEN, took u a while, huh?
dyii boooooooooooooring

Glad RGEN worked out for you, just wish I wasn’t trading a paper money account at the time I saw it pop up

Tim,
Did you have any trade today?
42timsykes
April 8th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
nope, just as i predicted i wouldnt….no ideal setups
43jj4188
April 8th, 2008 at 9:32 pm
Do you think CNEH will continue upwards? It seems to have leveled off, but Stockcharts is showing the volume is still okay (not high, but not low). Clear Station is showing that it is reaching an overbought state.
What do you think Tim? My portfolio is too low to short, so I have to get these guys on the ups. I can’t wait to get it up there so I can start shorting. It seems so much easier to pick those out.
Anyway, from what I am seeing, this could still have some steam to push higher, but I am still pretty new to this. I think I should see how it opens before I make any decisions. If it is up, then I might buy, but if it starts to drop then I will let it be. Should be good to short at that time if I could, right?
Any thoughts?
