y, I agree, hate the place. Think it's a ripoff most the time.
Reason I'm sht, but if they happen to beat or something, stk can
gap 3-4 pts either way. Planning on covering most of mine prior.
You're right, up strong and good news may be built in, but it's a
gamble, so not what I'm into.

Everyone here should look at downloading jing. I've been using
for awhile and I know Matt used for a short recording, up to 5 min.
Will take you about 15min to learn to use and a ton quicker than
using screencapture and then png files. Can literally pull up and
post chart in about 10seconds. And it's FREE. Think someone
else posted something about the other day. Great tool.
Green RL is my intial target on AAPL , IF we get selling-
see how stock has reacted around it past 10 days. Would sell
partial if not all and then wait to see if it breaks. But may not
be a concern, LOL. This mkt sure acts like it wants to keep going
up

y, on BIDU should get retest, which it's doing. Won't put
on a position till my 15min 50 starts to turn. When it breaks it
(15min 50ma) and it's at sharp angle up like past few days,
about 85-90% chance it will re-test it. If it fails and I can get a
down TL then will try it.
AAPL just playing for a scalp here at the moment and Qs too.

Pdani,
As someone who as run a trading room as well as a hedge fund,
Matt and Steve have to walk a very fine line. Though the SEC
doesn't have time or manpower to go after the Madoffs of the world,
they have plenty of resources to go after operators of investment
rooms and newsletters. So you have to be extremely careful on what
you say and how you say it. Why do you think Cramer says a 100
times a show if he has a position in anything he mentions? In fact,
many room operators purposely will not trade the same stocks as
they rec. or if they do they have to disclose.
The problem comes that when they disclose, a certain number of
clients will follow them into the trade, in essence chase the trade
even if it's already moved. Each person's risk tolerance and
financial capability is different as well as their ability to
manage a trade. So if the trade goes against them whereas they may
take a small loss, the clients may take a larger loss. That can
lead to suits and complaints to the SEC. Matt and Steve have
often talked about there are two ways to take a trade when a stock
is in a channel, well actually 3. When the stock is on the bottom
of the channel, which is a little riskier, but does allow you to
have tighter stops; when it initially breaks out or after it
initially breaks out and retests and you buy it off the re-test,
which is probably the least risk of the 3. So if Matt chose to buy
GDx prior to the breakout for whatever reason, that's not
necesarily something that he would share with his clients because
it was a riskier trade in some respects.
RP and I trade identical, but our style of trading is definitely
not for everyone, at best, very few. Reason what few posts I make
tend to be real short term swings because they're based on longer
term charts and are probably less risky than some because we have a
lot of swing traders in here. So the point I'm trying to make is,
what Matt and Steve may do personally may not be in the best
interest of the majority of the traders in here. As you can see
from the track record of their posted rec. taking the conservative
route can be very profitable and pretty darn high percentage. Yeah,
I was ticked that I missed the GDX trade too, but I was long gold
futures and some other gold stocks and as Matt stated he'd been
talking about it for a week.
One other quick point I'd like to make it the quality of the
technical research that you get here, though I personally think a
little too much emphasis given to Elliott Wave, is literally first
class and way over and above board for what we pay. I 've seen and
have gotten institutional technical reports that STARTED at
$5000/mo that were not as frequent or comprehensive and gave
way fewer trade ideas. You guys don't realize what a gift this site
is. It saves me 3-4 hours/day at least.
