Stock Chart Of the Day: VisionChina Media Inc (VISN) Breaking Out

Posted by timothysykes on Wed 16th of Apr, 2008 03:04:15 PM

Tags:

Their corporate name pretty much says it all–this now $1 billion Chinese company who deals in digital media and advertising is breaking out to new highs today on typical 200,000-ish daily volume. Big-time revenue growth and surprising valuation–think 200%+ and a forward PE in the 20-25 range–added to the fact that people are looking for ways to play the upcoming Olympics and you’ve got some real potential here. Too gradual/uncertain for TIM, but you know it’s gonna interest guys who like buying breakouts like Lindzon

UPDATE: Bought 200 shares at $14.63, couldn’t resist such a perfect breakout, kept my position small to give me the patience to hold out for $1-2 of probable upside

UPDATE 2: Doubled up at $14.27, total cost is now $14.45, stock didn’t uptrend into the close like I, along with seemingly many others, expected.Good news is it held the breakout levels and there’s a reasonably strong chance at a morning spike, especially given the probable strong maret thanks to IBM’s earnings.

TIM Lesson: If you know you suck at buying breakouts, don’t be early, wait to buy until right before the market close.

LOL, great up 40 cents now in 10 min., how many damn people are reading this website? TIM Lesson: Sykes buy the damn stock THEN feature it

Andrew

Seriously Timmy, Get your act together!! Just Kidding. Looks like a solid break out. I'm in too. If it breaks 14 though I'm gonna hop out.

Dan-O

Isn't 14 the last rally level and a probable support area?

timsykes

apparently when i buy a stock, i bring my dark gift with me and it starts tanking :(

Jonathan

No worries, your cult like following will be buying!

timsykes

doubled up at $14.27, now got 400 shares, average $14.45

Brian D

FXEN running out of nowhere as well this one will tank but it may not be your cup o' tea

timsykes

gotta love the tape painter who bought 100 shares at $14.60 right at the close trying to close it near its highs, somehow i think we'll show a $14.28 closing print though

Jonathan

Tim,

Are you still looking for a $1-2 profit on the breakout?

timsykes

now that its a whole position, probly closer to 50 cents-$1/share now so the question is if it can take out short seller stop losses at $15

tradermedic

timmy how did you chance on this stock.i did not the the financials on google news..
what is your feed?what scans do you use?

timsykes

i follow a few hundred typical smallcap plays that daytraders like, featured this one a dozen or so times on this site, so i know each company long before i ever trade it

Tony Ellis

Glad to see you in VISN. I'm in @ 14.3 should have taken profits at 14.9 but moved too damn fast. XIDE had a nice volume breakout as well. Long XIDE @ 14.35

timsykes

XIDe is nice, thats the way VISN was supposed to act into the close!

Tony Ellis

VISN should be fine. FEED did the same thing when it broke out. I'm still pissed about selling FEED at 14.45

Tony Ellis

15.45

Andrew

Dan-O I meant breaks to the downside.

Dan-O

Andrew... Ok, Got that.

At least you had the balls to go for it, I was too much of a wuss to pull the trigger

Michael

Tim, EJ is about to break out
fundamental for this stock is strong
CEO just bought back 10 million shares
what do you think

Dan

Tim, I shorted sorc at 1.60 and didnt cover. Holding over night wish I coverd. What do you think will hapen with Sorc tom. Thanks Tim.

monkiman

timmay, do not underestimate your cult following, I followed your move on KOG, so I shorted 5,000 @ 2.83 in the opening, and because of sideway actions, covered 3 hours later @ 2.79. LOL

Michael

Timmy, while the long term trend for the market is still bearish
for upcoming 1-3 months or so, the market is going temporary bullish. (then maybe follow by more crisis and crashes)
so short selling might not work as well right now. You have taught us how to short into spikes, Can you teach us how to catch dips and go long? the market is having higher lows, and higher highs

InvestorsLive

One thing to add is I would love to find one recommendation for it without an affiliate link, or better yet I'm just surprised all the keywords for "Doubling Stocks Scam" are also controlled, search engine optimized and affiliate linked to earn some money on the referral

timsykes

sorc aint volatile enough for me, who knows.

michael, i remain a short seller in bullish environments, more plays, more spikes!

investorslive, i'd love to write about doublingstocks, but i've heard some very bad stuff from people that do...not worth it...and the speech went awesome, got a standing ovation!

InvestorsLive

Great job! keep it up!

NeilTheRealDeal

Tim, please come to University of Tampa and speak. Of course I just transferred from ECC which is 2 miles from UB so I couldn't be there for the speech. But we both know you want to come to sunny Tampa to speak, so do it!

Roderic

I heard doubling stock is a huge scam.
Do a search on google see what you come up with.....nothing pretty.

timsykes

I'll speak wherever, put me in touch with somebody to set it up!

Al

Tim,

KOG - shorted it yesterday @2.80 and held over night. Are you still holding?
Your thoughts either way..

thanks

Tony Ellis

Want to come speak at The Else School of Management in beautiful Jackson, MS?

timsykes

KOG, i covered due to my travelling, sux, nice fade, but i'd be wary of any spikes and quick to take a decent profit...you guys profiting makes me feel better about not!

Yah I'll come to Jackson, just gotta pay my travel and a little bit of $ and u're on!

Mike

VISN breakout today.

Chris

Hey Tim Dog! I love your site I just found it a couple of weeks ago. How do you feel about a short on VISN towards the end of the day when it should have added a couple more points?

Who Is Timothy Sykes And Why Should I Care?

See Tim's full bio HERE. Tim turned a few thousand dollars into a few million by taking small gains time after time on hundreds of volatile penny stocks, discovering that his trading strategy, while consistently successful, works best for those with smaller accounts.

Determined to teach others this PennyStocking trading strategy (learn more HERE), he went back to his original $12,415 roots (already $58,000+ even though the stock market has crashed) to show everyone how to turn thousands into millions, even while having a life (somewhat) and making plenty of mistakes. Currently he is the #1 ranked trader out of 25,000+ on Covestor)

How Can I Consistently Make Money In The Stock Market?

Hard work, Determination and Know How.

Hard work to learn how the greatly misunderstood niche of penny stocks provides opportunities every now and then on which you should pounce.

Determination to seek those probable profits out and know how in order to actually profit from them.

Long story short, wait for stocks that are extremely volatile - for whatever reason - and then aim to take small profits (between 10 and 50% within a few hours, days or weeks) here and there, either from betting on higher or lower prices (yes, you can make $ betting on lower prices, it's called Shortstocking (learn more HERE).

Why Penny Stocks?

As Tim explains in several ALL-NEW instructional DVDs (see them HERE) and in over 2000+ blog posts, penny stocks are the most hyped and corrupt niche in the entire investment world. These two qualities make them the easiest to profit from (legally) because the vast majority of people who play penny stocks are suckers and all-around ignorant people. If you have any intelligence whatsoever, you have a clear advantage and it's like playing basketball against mental midgets.

Where Do You Find Stocks To Trade?

This is the #1 FAQ (see more HERE) and it is answered in THIS instructional DVD.

Of course, that's just a brief introduction - to receive a full education, there is Tim's book An American Hedge Fund which is the story of his remarkable rise and lessons learned.

To truly increase your odds at profit, Tim has designed an entire set of detailed instructional DVDs, covering all the variables that amount to over 24 hours of instruction (see them all HERE)!
