A Day Meant To Be Taken Off But The Lessons Remain

Tags: Thinkorswim

TIM $15,001, Up $68, Stupid Trade Pays For Sushi Dinner

Another slow day—no big smallcap movers—but just some more reasons to love Thinkorswim. This time around, it wasn’t excellent customer service or their letting me slip by the ridiculous Pattern Day Trading Rule, it was them letting me short a stock under $3. I thought that was a hard rule, but apparently the customer is always right with these guys—I love it! IB, Ameritrade, E*Trade and Scottrade users, you poor poor people, you deserve better, you deserve Thinkorswim.

The stock was Arte Medical (ARTE), a company that makes a supposedly safer Botox-like product, that quickly surged 30%+ on news that Botox is more dangerous than previously thought. (hmmmm, injecting toxins and bacteria into your face because you’re a superficial slut is dangerous—who knew?!?!)

TIM $13,928, Up $20, Gonna Splurge Tonight, Maybe Olive Garden!

Daily comedic relief

Potential Supernovas: None, unfortunately

See which stocks I think you should buy ahead of earnings!

FRPT another Lionmaster pick, spiked mid-afternoon on TradeTheNews.com big contract rumor, rumors are usually wrong, too tough to chase, continuation of this move possible, but not overly likely, avoid until after the fact because if true, this can really go up big and that is predictable.

APWR, Superman on TheLion.com’s call of the day, called it around $15ish after contract news (unfortunately not signed, just LOIs, could be fluff, but it’s hypeable fluff!), great, great, great chart breakout of 3 month base between $12 and $14. Now that is a breakout, none of that possible breakout crap, click this chart:
