11.17 Watchlist

Just a handful of stocks that caught my eye and I may take a position in on Monday...

SPA - Up green at 14.29%. This should be a great short if you can find shares to borrow.
DFT - Finished Friday green at 41.76%. Beautiful.
ABG - Closed Friday in the green at 13.76%. I'd like to see some red action first before taking a short position.
RAS - Had its first red day at -17.79%.
SGMO - Also had its first red day at -9.09%.

11.13 Watchlist

SNMX - Finished the day green at 2.00% even after starting the day in the red. It's had a five day winning streak, so I'm keeping an eye on this one still. Still a lot of volume holding this one up though and I'd like for it to die down much more.
PLA - Look who's back from the dead, with a 14.29% pop finishing Wednesday in the green on earnings related news however.
IPSU - Finished the day in the green at 14.20%. This stock hasn't been at these price levels in a long time and hopefuly interest dies down a lot more.
ATRC - From my yesterday's watch, this stock had it's first red day at -7.50%. Nice!
HQS - I try my best to stay away from earnings related plays, but after a huge pop Tuesday, this stock had it's first red day today at -4.31%. Other than Tuesday, this stock hasn't done much - exit bitter shareholders. This "company" is an integrated aquatic product producer and processor in China of toxin free tilapia, other aquatic products, and marine bio and healthcare products. Ha ok, whatever that means...but I swear those Chinese related companies are the shadiest!

Position Update II - HOTT Daytrade, Not So Hot Exit

HOTT - I used a daytrade to get out of HOTT with twenty minutes left in the trading session, which I entered about thirty minutes after this morning's opening. My exit could have been much better, but this stock is holding up well at the end of day, so I'm walking away with a small gain of a whopping $101 after commissions. Otherwise, the chart was nice, predictable, and boring until the last hour. When it gets unpredictable and the trade starts going against me, that's my cue to exit. My exit could have been much better, such as when there was a small increase in volume about an hour ago, but that's all in hindsight to me. Oh well, on to the next play folks!

Position Update

HOTT - I just took a short position of 500 HOTT at $6.95 at 7:10AM PST. I observed this stock to see if it had enough strength to get above the $7.00 mark, but so far it's stayed under just like it did last Thursday. I'll keep a very close eye on this one.

11.12 Watchlist - Come On Red!

I scanned and scanned quite a number of stocks, but I only found a few that really caught my eyes. I try to be extremely picky in order to minimize risk to my account. I haven't been able to trade as much as I would like to because of my school obligations, so I'm hoping there are great trading opportunites out there tomorrow morning. Here we go...

SNMX - Finished the day green at 21.95% with a green streak up about 55% since last Wednesday. I'll be watching this if it finally runs out of steam. Any sign of red should make this a good short play.
HOTT - Closed out Tuesday in the green at 16.01%. If this stock cannot hold $7.00, then I'll jump on it and ride it down.
SIRF - It's first day in the red, closing out at -9.33%. Lots of luck trying to find shares for this one!
ATRC - Up green about 40% since last Friday while closing Tuesday in the green at 15.27%.
FSE - A nice boring stock that hasn't done a thing until it finished green today at 21.17%. Lots of luck trying to find shares to borrow though!
CPHL - It's first red day at -1.57%. This is the biggest company on my list with a 408M marketcap, so I'd like to see this stock lose more steam.

Position Update - Great Monday Calls on These Bleeders!

No position - I woke up too late this morning to borrow shares! I hope you guys made some cash on these calls though!

NCT - Wow, this one closed a very red -33.75% If I only woke up earlier!
SIRF - This stock closed barely red at -1.32%, it's first down day today.
NCEN - This 26M "company" finished Monday red at -12.41% today after a one week green streak.
ZYXI - This slow moving stock closed Monday red at a solid -3.23%. Plenty of downside left if you have patience.
CNO - Like I said yesterday, if it didn't break the nice $3.00 mark, it would be a great short! Another nice showing of red, closing Monday at -16.20%. I hope someone enjoyed the ride downward and made some cash! This stock shows exactly why Muddy and Laura have taught me to pay attention to the first hour of trading because it offers clues to where the stock might be heading for the day.
RAS - Another one that closed very red at -26.14%. I hope someone made serious cash from this play!
AFFM - This stock was in the red for most of the day with a low of $1.37...until the last hour of the trading day barely finishing green at 0.58%.
