Took A Half Position In MOS Here At $72.15

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Wed 23rd of Jan, 2008 11:26:11 AM

Bought 60 shares at $72.15. We got some nice mid-day panicky action here and even though it’s holding near its lows, I can’t help but think this is a double bottom in the $71-$72 range. If it cracks $71, I’ll sell, but I think this can surge to $75-$77 pretty easily if the market tries to make an afternoon rebound. We’ll see, definitely not a perfect play, by any means, and that’s why it’s only a half position…

UPDATE: Sold my 60 shares at $73.24, a nice $60 gain, as much as I’d like to stay in this longer, I don’t trust this market, this isn’t a perfect pattern and well, this isn’t an ideal play because due to my limited reserves, I can’t take a very big position. C’mon gimme some low priced low floater claiming to be able to monetize cloning–now that I would load up on!

    Yeah bud - wait for longer swing plays and make sure to set intelligent stops and limits
  • bud, u'll have to wait for plays where its okay, actually better, to hold for days/weeks, stuff like SIL

    Tim,

    I just sign in - I have a full time job and work 14 hrs a day - my concern is if Im going to be able to follow you - Since I cannot watch entries and exit points within the day - any thoughts?
  • EVC was up 160% in 30 minutes yesterday on only 100k volume and no news, it was begging to drop big today
  • bdog9seclx
    would anyone mind to give me some quick advice with TOS I want to reserve some DIN shares I know to set a limit well over the price its at now any suggestions on a good limit? and this is first trade with them any tips or advice on my first execution?

    Thanks

    I dont want to drill holes in my raquet ya dig
  • Derrick
    Tim - what made you short EVC as opposed to the others on your list? Looking at the 5 min chart the thing dropped pretty much from the open.

    one that spikes stubborn shorts in the morning, fades to red in the afternoon, and makes a nice overnight gap down. seems like those days were a long time ago.
  • Attack987
    damn, i havent seen a tride and true supernova since SIL. this sitting and waiting stuff is hard.
  • dont touch hsni, could/should squeeze these dumb stubborn shorts tomorrow
  • Peter Piombo
    I am still on the sidelines with hsni..... forget about it?....or wait for a small run up?
  • i dont give a crap about VIP...hows that HSNI short workin out for u hyenas? u just cant learn to wait for red on the day before shorting, can u?
  • Derrick
    TIM - How about VIP short?
  • prognesubis
    jb HSNI stoped out 7.72, loss .01per share.
  • Yngvai
    Nice play on EVC. I got scared away by the big bid/ask spread. Too bad, no guts no glory.
  • jb
    PROGNESUBIS-appriciate the feedback! won't forget it. thanx
  • prognesubis
    jb Short HSNI @ 7.73, looks good so far @ 7.46. Have 4% stop set.
  • Peter Piombo
    Thx REAP
  • Reaper
    LAD up on earnings.
  • jb
    newbie here, first short! hsni at 7.68 and holding, what ya think tim or reaper?
  • Peter Piombo
    anyone like LAD ? short
  • YoungGunz
    don't get bent out of shape cuz people are telling you that your emails are getting delayed more and more. Its called feedback. It's not your fault. Its a problem with haveing to send 700 plus emails at once. Keep focusing on your chat system you and Pallian are working on. From what you described on how it works it will fix a lot of the issues.

    Shorted 300 shares EVC for a $300 profit. Recouped my $200 loss from HSNI yesterday and I'm up for the week. :-)
  • spirosu
    I'm looking at BEE too, looks prime for a drop if it doesn't hold that $4 level.
  • good kelvin, i should probly take away the emails to make u morons learn this stuff for yourselves
  • thebabyfacedtrader
    That one dropped way to fast for me. Hoping to pounce on GGP or BEE later.
  • Natski
    Being a newbie I didn't put in as much as I should have...short 130 @ $3.17, covered @ $2.14. Up ~$100 after fees!
  • kelvin
    I have no email tim
  • and those of u complaining the alert took too long, it didnt matter if it was instantaneous, the stock was dropping faaaast, u need to learn my damn strategy so u can short before i do, i even missed some ideal entries in the $3 range, this isnt rocket science, short the crap company when it spikes too quickly
