Rounded Up A Bunch Of The Usual Suspects
Goood Monday morn, rounded up a bunch of the usual jokers…at least usual since last week…some could be setting up for something worth my time / capital, we’ll see:
(RDTA) now (TIGR) As I detailed HERE, this is the top stock I’m watching this week, hopefully my typically cynical article hasn’t scared away too any suckers yet! (not ideal…yet)
(EDEN) Remember this guy from last week? Yah, tough to forget, let’s see how many shares we can find to short—woah there got 2,000 borrowed and reserved—nice but I hate these low marketcap plays (not ideal)
(PWSV) Nice first down day, perfect afternoon fade included…too bad I couldn’t find any shares, no biggie, these things are too illiquid (not ideal)
(DGLY) People wanna short this, why? You might scalp a few cents, but it’s a perfect breakout on solid fundamental news…no no no kids too little downside (not ideal)
(ASIA) A TE special, might breakout this week, or it might be waiting until 2012 to do so
(ISRG) Big ass triple top on only decent earnings, good lesson in why you wait for the breakout, you don’t try to anticipate it…good avoidance

Dead right on DGLY. I looked into that for a fundamental short and it scared me away. PWSV is a nice piece o’ junk, but too small and illiquid, as you said (and as I said just last night: http://twitter.com/goodevalue/statuses/793310233)

TIGR up another 9% this morning in 30 mins…

There is no shares available to short TIGR whatsoever. Finally, Scottrade gave me a small number of NFLX shares to short, not the number I wanted was available.

TIGR shares are tough due to the name change, it’ll open up eventually, sneaky little pumpers
KOG is a nice breakout, doing things COT only dreamed of…great example though of why u cant be longer term shorts, they either go down or they dont, don’t wait around hoping

COIN nice demolition, too bad its become so illiquid…damnit where the hell are you pumpers, don’t u nwo the market’s coming back, time to give us some volatility/liqiduity….sri if you’re reading can u go on CNBC Asia and promote EDEN? would u mind? i’d appreciate it!

Could you ask to borrow TIGR using the old ticker symbol?

How about PKTR which can pumped by CNBU with a nice breakout?!
14Dan-O
April 21st, 2008 at 10:34 am
PKTR is a buyout

My point is that it is not worth shorting M & A news, it’s too uncertain.
Most M & A plays usually are just guessing games where you short the strong company and go long the weak. There just isn’t enough of an edge in that game unless you have privileged info.

gotta love TIGR, now $13!

Dan, agreed. But news is the pumping deal which we need to look out and dump it when the news dies down right. THats kinda of TIM’s strategy if I am wrong.

no vijai, u dont touch m & a deals, media coverage is meaningless

FYI people vijai is a great example as to why my biz model works…i can blog all day long and u’ll understand a bunch, but to learn my entire strategy, u really do need my DVD…otherwise u miss stuff like this and those mistakes are probly gonna cost u more than $300

wow that drop on TIGR was impressive, $5 in what felt like almost as many minutes
24Dan-O
April 21st, 2008 at 11:19 am
Yeah, Mergers and Aquisitions (M&A) are one of the many lessons on the DVD.
I sound like a f’n toadie, but it is useful, and easy to understand.

Oh OK! Tim. Since I am not Day trader, more of a swing trader I don’t usually like to do penny stocks a lot. I like your open concept. But since I don’t deal with penny’s a lot now which is the reason for holding on checking out your DVD.

Ameriturd didn’t have any shares of TIGR this morning, so I have had luck in the past going long in that scenario.
However, i noticed that the pumped POS is back to 10. I would still short there if they had some to borrow.

Wassup Tim, in one of your replies above you mentioned the markets coming back. Can you explain why you believe that?

Mr. Sykes :
I believe you may be underestimating the technology here,as did many when Google went public.I was one of those sceptics early on,only to watch GOOG go to 700 from 100, and never did jump on the bandwagon.This search enhancer works incredibly well,and I have little doubt GOOG and the other search engine companies are taking notice, from both a marketing AND a technologically strategic perspective.
So is the stock a buy or a sell?
I would not want to be short when a 25 dollar bid comes in,and a possible bidding war starts amongst the big boys.Much-O speculation here.
On the other hand, if you are right on this one and a huge number of shares actually do become available at some time, being long at a much higher price could be detrimental to your portfolio as well.
So it is a risky stock,isn’t it?
Bottom Line?
Trad’em as ya see’em boyz…….
PS : Mr. Sykes…I do enjoy ready much of your commentary..
Regards ;
Bruce

LOLOLOL the technology of all these microcrap is complete junk…less than 1% will ever make it, i play the odds and don’t feel the need to qualify that 1 in a million shot…if it does turn out to be useful, then just buy it on the breakout, until then, its a pump
