Manipulation Monday: 8 Stocks I’m Watching, Could Be Setting Up…

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Mon 8th of Sep, 2008 10:48:47 AM

That’s right, no more posting my watchlist right at the market open…only TIMalert subscribers will get access as I emailed/posted this on the TIMalerts.com subscribers-only website this morning at 1am…in addition, that site is also gonna have a subscribers-only chatroom as of next week…sign up HERE now!

FNM/FRE is gonna be the big story today, stocks will both drop 80%+…overall market will be up big, or at least open up big, big risky government bet, if it fails, get ready for depression…then, even penny stock promoters are miserable, so I’m rooting for the plan to succeed

TGIC is one such troubled financial play, already up to $3.5 from $1.5…no real resistance til $5ish…short, maybe good for 50 cents/share…if you’re lucky, not my kind of play, I prefer pump and dumps, always remember that.

DSL is up $2 to $3, same financial issues, no thanks

COIN rebounded off its drop, perfectly natural, especially for a bouncy stock this one, I hope it squeezes the living daylights out of the remaining shorts, c’mon fluffy press release, you can do it Blackman! I doubt I’ll re-short anytime soon considering how much trouble it was the first time around (detailed post coming later today)

PCYC has a chart that’s gone vertical, combo effect of ANALyst upgrade and forward looking annual report, now is a positive breakout off some solid sideways action aka a breakout, still in a nasty longterm downtrend, not up enough…yet to really get me excited about shorting, but it’s definitely high up on my watchlist of potential shorts, love these NASDAQ plays as opposed to OTCBBs

CHFI is my #1 potential short this week, up on a lot of fluffy PRs/filings/fast growing earnings, now nearing a $300mil marketcap, gotta love/respect these scumbags, something is fishy, as ual…watch it, but respect this price surge

SIRF was rumored to be a good takeover candidate up in the $7s, lots of ANALysts thought so, now it’s one of the most perfect downtrenders of the past few months, first up day now on patent infringement settlement rumors, I hate playing news rumors, too unpredictable, just watching it for now.

STSI just keeps squeezing shorts, god bless em, let’s see how far it can go, don’t even think about shorting this strong a pattern

  1. Tim, what do you use to make your trades? E-Trade, Scottrade, etc?

  2. Wow! The market is going CRAZY today. How does TOS manage this sort of volatility.

    Just watched UAUA go from $12 to $3 to $10

  3. i use and recommend thinkorswim

  4. Lots of lag in quote streams here. Anyone seeing lag in Level II?

  5. 5

    Made $240 off shorting TGIC, but left tons of money on the table…tanked way further than I thought it would

  6. You guys using TOS are experiencing lags in quote streams too? My quote streams are pretty much frozen today. I have to hit refresh all the time.

  7. TGIC had a huge pool of liquidity from $2.50 to $4.50 ….should keep tanking to $2.50

  8. Buying back some URRE here @ $2.50

  9. I am using TOS web based trading. How do you bring up the Level II?

  10. CHFI just so thin and no volume…

  11. FRE testing lod .. good risk/reward for daytrade ..
    have an order for .90 but not filled yet

  12. Wow! some sellers got soooo raped on UAUA bankruptcy rumor!

  13. Yea Alex - all airlines take a look at JBLU AMR LUV etc

  14. Yeah..UAUA was really to the extreme, though…from $12 down to $3 and back …
    UAUA triggered an alert I had set, I saw it at $4, put an order in for $4.5, but by the time I sent the order off it was already at $5.00 and I didn’t want to chase it.

  15. out FRE at .85 … didn’t even want to get filled the SECOND time it hit .90 .. thought I had canceled my order but I guess not … only insiders getting filled at the ideal opportunites here

  16. You have to download the java platform for ToS if you want to upgrade from web based trading. It is a great great platform and ToS is far and away the best discount broker I have used.
