Can you include the intraday chart in a newsletter this week and
show us how you played it and in what timeframe? Would be a
great educational piece for anyone wanting to take a shot
intraday.
I don't get it, Matt. Maybe I'm wrong but...it appears
that you and Steve have held this "story" stock for a several years
for fundamental (not technical) reasons...riding it all the way
down. The two of you are so disciplined and successful
trading based upon the charts and technical factors, why would you
do so? It seems completely out of character for both of you.
My apologies if I have this wrong, but that's the impression
I have and it seems contradictory to all you espouse.
Stock closed February 6th at $1.51 with volume of 114,000
shares. On February 7th the stock touched $41.00 intraday on nearly
22 million shares. Just curious: Did they announce they found a way
to bottle the fountain of youth?
I'm confused about AZ. It was brought to the BPT community's
attention a few years back for fundamental rather than technical
reasons. I bought and sold at a slight loss a long time ago.
Here's my question: If this stock was bought for
fundamental reasons AND held through the long draw down, wouldn't
updated fundamentals (not technicals) determine whether it's wise
to continue holding (or even averaging down) at this point in
time?
Never quite understand that but...on just about any time frame
(daily, hourly, 5 minute), if you're using a candlestick chart you
would have been stopped out. Giving it more room than today's
spike low near the open is the equivalent of not using a stop at
all.
BOIL: Matt, You noted in last night's newsletter you like the
long base in Nat Gas and would monitor the current pullback for
entry. I bought BOIL and cashed out end of day of the 1-20
reverse split. What would be your re-entry trigger?
Matt: A few days ago you mentioned you were in BOIL. I bought in
the other day at $3.14. Today the stock had a reverse split 1 for
20 and is up 5%. Do you read anything negative into the reverse
that would cause you to cash out of the ETF? Usually reverse
splits are perceived to be negative. The chart looks
positive.
Took a look at the scan list this morning. Made a short
list of five to watch (probably too many). Traded two (UCAR
and PCT). Made a few dollars but still learning. Most
of these stocks move quickly in either direction. Learning to trust
the patterns, trust my instincts and keep stops tight...though I
suspect it's better to give them more room for a bigger payday. Any
specific tips, Matt?
I agree about Google. Bought in at $110.75...sold yesterday at
$124. Haven't liked the feel of the stock since it produced
that big red candle on the daily chart (after making a new high)
about 2 weeks ago.

Why not just help them do the bond ladder yourself and drop the "advisor"?

Which always begs the question: Do you take the long side trade right here (with a tight stop), or do you wait for a breakout...and why?
Is it simply a question of individual preference and style or do other technical factors come into play?
