    Screwed up royally on ROYL. Bought on the breakout @ 6.60 and sold @ 7.20. Only left a couple bucks on the table. I did make a nice exit on BEXP @ 17.85 from 14.28 last week. I’m still long NTI…I know go ahead and kick me in the balls now.

    So the Sup’s new low float play is AETI. That’s probably gonna make a good short eventually, although not now. I’m probably gonna hop on it long for a quick ride at first.

    Yeah, go over there…look up AETI and you’ll see his name. Click on his name and you’ll see all of his recent posts in various forums.

    Here’s a random question for everyone- can anybody here remember when a reverse stock split was a good thing? I only ask because of TMA’s announcement today.

    Tim- perfect buy-in of NTI (true to your strategy)

    I’m not familiar with reverse stock splits

    True or False?

    There is a trend in the market, all the big time short sellers of the past saw that?
    I believe there is more than just pumps, dumps and scalps to this dark side. I’m starting to see something more…where you just don’t have to wait on these pumps.

    Do you agree?

    tons of trends but unless u have the capital experience and patience stick to pump and dumps…its easier down here…stop trying to think so hard

    ACOR went strait up to $28 and change today then went sideways. There are plenty of traders who will take the quick profit in the morning. I will then cover my 600 shares at ~ $26.75 Any ACOR short squeeze happened this morning.

    That is my plan.
