Hot Stocks: 7 Solar Stocks To Day Trade aka How I Will Short Them!
(SOLF)—up 50% in 5 days, solid resistance at $15, but solid earnings today means the short side is limited, although it’s tough to be bullish either…let’s see how the pattern plays out, I’ll update tomorrow

(SOL)—another 50% gainer within a few days, solid earnings gainer today, nice sideways action between $11.50 and $12, that’ll either turn out to be nice support or resistance, tough to be short until that breaks

(AKNS)—now up 75% off its lows, today the shorts got squeezed by a magazine article mention, now this is some news to short into—financial journalism is a total joke! Nice short into resistance at $8

(ASTI)—up nearly 100% now, got a nice investment form blah blah blah today, squeezed the shorts…until the last hour. Ideally it bounces tomorrow, but either late tomorrow or Monday, it’ll be a great short when it goes negative under $14

(CSUN)—put in a nice bottom just over $6, but the strongest solar rally and it only goes up $1, P A T H E T I C…not volatile enough for me

(SPIR)—up 60% off panic selling—in actuality, up 30% off solid sideways price action at $12…much less liquid than these other guys, resistance at $18, not sure it’s worth touching either way here

(JASO)—the realest of all these companies, up 4 days in a row, but only 20% (sucks to be real, seriously!) (volatility-wise) I’ll leave it alone, I prefer fake/fraudulent/hype-filled stocks, say hello to the social security-earning investors for me!

no I think you can trade all you want if it is a cash only account. to trade borrowed funds (margin account) you need to maintain atleast 25k. am I right?

nevermind I was wrong. you need 25k in your own equity to make more than 3 round trip trades in a 1 week period. now I’m confused as well. I’m wondering how Tim gets by this. Seperate accounts?

only have 1 account, now worth $17360. yah i’d reshort REED today if i could–probly into a weak close, looking for it to go under $4 next week–but afraid of doing too many trades so i won’t do any more today.
as i’ve said, TOS has told me i’ve been flagged as a pattern day trader but they won’t restrict me unless i abuse margin…its so gray area, i’m just thankful for the few trades i can do, will look to reshort REED on monday, hopefully it can get a little spike here, but its not looking to good
