6 Small Cap Plays: Natural Gas Stocks Are White Hot

Tags: Breakouts, Patterns To Buy, Potential Plays

(BEXP) If I wasn’t such a wus at buying breakouts—preferring to short later, this would be the play…4 million shorts getting squeeeeezed

(PSTI) Another day, another multi-billion dollar drug market mentioned by the company, what could go wrong? Respect the pump but don’t believe the hype–we’re talking pre-clinical here, motor oil works at that stage, doesn’t mean it’ll stand up when they actually start testing humans! Risk-reward of shorting this sucker here, well, sucks…pray for a big short squeeze, don’t get squeezed yourself

(SGN) Who knows and who cares what caused the tankage yesterday—the chart pattern signaled a nice breakout, perfect example of why I can’t play this pattern

(GSX) Sykes it’s pretty damn ridiculous you didn’t buy this nattie gas light on a perfect high volume breakout above $2.75, stop working on the new site and focus on trading you dirty Jew!

(XCO) This nattie gas light is goin’ crazy singing Christina Aguilera lyrics “I am vertical, no matter what they say, 10 million short sellers can’t bring me down today”

(GENC) Which do I regret more: selling my shares in the low $15s or not buying this latest breakout? Neither—I suck at buying, I’m a damn short seller…I’ll wait for the pattern to come to me.

    Tradeking has PSTI to short, in case anybody out there uses them.

  23. 23bryan

  24. 24Mike

    April 15th, 2008 at 10:20 am

    No shares to short for PSTI or FEED at E*Trade.

  25. 25neswick

    April 15th, 2008 at 10:29 am

    COIN is looking pretty weak, it might be a good idea to reserve some shares.

    April 15th, 2008 at 10:58 am

    BEXP, looks to move up as per the chart.. Its has strong uptrend setup. Do you think its good idea to short it?! I don’t think so..

  29. 29ViciousChicken

    April 15th, 2008 at 11:03 am

    Happy birthday Tim!

    Do you think GSX will make a decent short some time this week, or too early to tell?

  30. 30ViciousChicken

    April 15th, 2008 at 11:17 am

    Anyone watching NRMX?

  31. 31bryan

    April 15th, 2008 at 11:27 am

    Everyone KOG is bout to go into neg territory might wanna keep an eye out over double avg volume…classic supernova.. might not want to wait till it closes negative on this one what do you think timmay?

  32. 32timsykes

    April 15th, 2008 at 11:31 am

    davey–see the post above this

    bexp just broke out, nowhere near short

    GSX and KOG are commodity plays, not supernovas–they’re up cuz commodity prices are up, not due to spam/stop losses/hype/short squeezes, there’s a big difference

  33. 33bryan

    April 15th, 2008 at 11:33 am

    got ya thanks for the clarification on that when would be a good time to short or are you long biased on these plays?
    thanks again for teaching us

  34. 34vijai - moneyreallymatters.com

    April 15th, 2008 at 11:35 am

    bryan, its creating a doji on the upper end and might be up for reversal as you say. But unfortunately, Scottrade doesn’t allow to short stocks below $5.

  35. 35vijai - moneyreallymatters.com

    April 15th, 2008 at 11:35 am

    Also its hitting 200ma which is really a wall to push it down..

  36. 36bryan

    April 15th, 2008 at 12:20 pm

    anyone get in on ROFO? thanks timmay for helping me figure out how to sniff these guys out.

    April 15th, 2008 at 1:08 pm

    Just a question on the side - do most of you on this board not have a job? Or day trading is your job?

  38. 38vijai - moneyreallymatters.com

    April 15th, 2008 at 1:33 pm

    Goose, thats not true in my case.

    Tim, CSIQ looks to be losing gas. Do you think it might target for short tomorrow?!

  39. 39vijai - moneyreallymatters.com

    April 15th, 2008 at 1:35 pm

    I was telling BEXP is uptrend and it did change from pullback to moving up now.. So don’t short it..

  40. 40bryan

    April 15th, 2008 at 1:35 pm

    I work just slow at work

  41. 41timsykes

    April 15th, 2008 at 1:38 pm

    csiq is a solar, i’m not shorting thme with oil this high

  42. 42vijai - moneyreallymatters.com

    April 15th, 2008 at 1:52 pm

    true its a solar and you are right OIL this high, solar always has upper hand, may be it will continue go up..

  43. 43Goose

    April 15th, 2008 at 1:56 pm

    Sorry to bring this up again.

    I assume you must have worked before getting into trading so you have some capital to start with. Im a student about to graduate so just wondering.

  44. 44vijai - moneyreallymatters.com

    April 15th, 2008 at 3:04 pm

    Goose, are you asking me ?!

  45. 45Goose

    April 15th, 2008 at 3:08 pm

    Vijia - Yes

    is FEED still a good short at 14.38?

  46. 46Goose

    April 15th, 2008 at 3:09 pm

    Correction - Feed 15.38

  47. 47vijai - moneyreallymatters.com

    April 15th, 2008 at 4:44 pm

    Goose, I still work full time. I alloted some amount I saved for swing trading. I don’t do day trading as such..
