    COIN forming a solid cup and handle on big volume? CPST on a breakout? What are your thoughts?

    I know you’re looking at the stock ticker right now. In fact, it’s on the right side of your blog! :)

    COIN needs much more volume and a true breakout before i’m interested. not gonna be easy…today some newsletter with 40k recommended it. CPST too messy, not a confirmed breakout yet either

    Would you short COIN into this? If CPST breaks 1.92 would you call it a breakout? Watched the dvds this past weekend. Really helpful, definitely opened my eyes to pennystocks. Thanks for making them.

    CPSt moves too slow, i’ll call a breakout at $2, until then its just boring.

    DO NOT SHORT COIN. IT IS BREAKING OUT. ONLY RESISTANCE IS AT $14. EVEN IF IT GOES DOWN HERE, RISK REWARD SUCKS. FAVORS BUYING THE BREAKOUT

    Triangle breakout for TNH? Back to 150 minimum? Have greatly enjoyed your commentary on short selling and appreciate the transparency.

    I can see what you see on TNH, but I would wait until it breaks the $155 level before getting into it.

    Who are you calling a sissy value investor? Careful Timothy or I’ll sick my value investor posse on you.

    Regardless, thanks for hosting this week’s Festival of Stocks.

    You’re right…value investors are sissies which is why we will live longer than you.

    I’d rather burn out than fade away

    I know there are a lot of successful traders but the richest and most successful people who have attained wealth are value investors. If those people are sissys,well, tell me who these day/short-term traders and hedge fund managers are who are on the worlds wealthiest peoples list. I’ll convert to trading tomorrow. Really, I would like to know some names. Even ones off the list.

    I’d like to know some traders that have consistent market beating returns for a decade or more.

    February 28th, 2008 at 8:11 pm

    Stevie Cohen, James Simons, hundreds more hedge fund managers. And PS, life isn’t just about money, it’s about building character and learnings lessons, neither of which value investing teaches much

    Oh yeah, forgot that rich or not just about every value investors I’ve ever met is BOOOOOOOOOOOOORING!!!

    C’mon man, live a little for once!

PDO, up $4+ today, will teach you not to randomly short strong penny stocks, get in, get out then run...cuz sometimes they squeeze stubborn shorts to death!

No ideal short plays today, check out these 2 interviews while we wait for price action perfection

I wish I'd listened to my own rulebook, instead got squeezed for $400 shorting blatant-fraud KYUS too early...someone needs a refresher course this weekend!

I nailed NCOC's 20% rise today in my pre-market post, but I was too biased against buying little breakouts, learn from my mistakes!
