Well I did a small trade in CTLX this morning. I made a little over 10% I think, which I am happy with but dang. It is up a solid 120% right now.

Oh well, a gain is a gain. Can't look at what could have been.

Gorlax, you mind me asking what forum you're seeing these penny stocks on? I enjoy playing with them when I have some down time

Dude holy fuck!! I missed out huge on that~! It was 0.41 cents a share when I was tempted to buy but backed down NOW ITS 3.95!!! FUCK!!!

I got it from a person I've been in contact with. If I get anymore information I'll pass it along. I'm def going off his intuition because I think it was more then that.

Response to Traveler. It wasn't mere speculation it was a recommendation from someone. I was just given the information and I saw the company as possible valuable but with a failed trial in the past I became skeptical and back away. Now it's Well up over 3.95 from 0.41 cents a share, now after hours are looking more like 4-5$ range... jesus. Imagine the profit. I'm about to scour for more information.

Does anyone think it will stay or will it power drop?!??

well shoot, didn't see that it closed so high... definitely should have held longer. Oh well.

I imagine that it will be up a little at open, but I would not trust that thing. They usually come down twice as fast as they go up (I think? actually not sure about that). But thats just my 2 cents.

Definitely curious about anything else you hear about.

I guess #NTN Buzzwire has potential. They make the devices being used at buffalo wild wings to order food and play games and stuff. They also are in thousands of other places as digital jukeboxes, games, and casinos. There's just no knowing when it will pop. I'm skeptical on this one because I rarely see anyone using this technology. They used to own the ringing when your table is ready devices but sold that off.


I also got info on MCZ. They make gaming controllers like the steering wheels and shit for racing games. They also are going to make the controllers for iphone 6's for some games. Previously this company made the call of duty headsets which made them a huge profit. I'm just not sure what new games are coming out so I'll buy this one when I can next time  around. They also have a few insider buys recently


I feel like throwing 40$ into any of these is a solid tactic. you will lose some which I did with Midway Gold (fucking gold and silver man).. These others are companies actually pulling in money but need product explosions or good PR.

It's a gamble on these product line ones. I like to evaluate drug companies because you know when a drug will work (kinda). If a company is trying to make the cure for cancer you can bet you'd want to short them in the long run because almost all that technology fails. If they are making a better modified version of an existing drug then that's a good sign of investing in them.

CLTX was a fluke I missed. I think they will remain around 4-5$ range unless they break ground with their pipeline. ??? Hope I didn't miss another 300% day with CLTX because it's 50/50 with people I've been talking to. There's either going to be a massive dump of shares or another jump.


I'm going to find more biotech in the penny range and get my advice from my friend about them. Or maybe some tips.! :smile:

I'm gonna buy MCZ man, I feel responsible for you not taking a buy on there, What sort of money would you have thrown at the .41c stock? because damn that means like 200$ is now 1000$

Have u considered like Chemical companies and do you know if business school or financial schooling you would encounter people that are studying the stocks or would it be better to seek the actual engineers and chemists? because I always thought taht planting T mckenna in peoples especially college poupels ears would give way to some major companies, because I think a Mckennist is more likely to make a diverse disruptor company that would pop better than traditional ways of thinking might take a person's approach to their ideas.

Stock Update for August 20 2015 [Re: geokills]
    #22116402 - 08/20/15 12:01 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

A quick note of caution that most of my stops have been hit (today is one of those unfortunate down 10% days in my portfolio :bored:), the market is selling off hard and slicing through its 200 day moving average.  This is the deepest we have been below the market's 200 day moving average since October of last year, and I believe capital preservation is the best strategy right now, which is to say, stand aside and let it all shake out.  The market is continuing to deteriorate, and while we are still technically in the range, an S&P close below 2040 is likely to portend a cascade of lower prices.  Be careful, respect risk and save your capital such that you may live to trade another day.

Closed the last of my $SUNE short puts ($12's and $13's that expire tomorrow) for a minimal profit that has not outweighed the losses I have taken on the short $15.50 and $15 puts that were assigned to me last week, even as I have mitigated some of the loss by selling calls that will expire worthless tomorrow. With the market looking increasingly tenuous, I'd rather have my capital over any more assignments.

I wouldn't have bought too much but I would have had a large profit. Probably 100$ worth so I mean you can do the math. There's several under my belt that I'm aiming at but right now all my stocks are getting fucked by the turn around today. The market didn't do well lets just say that.

People I know who majored in economics and business know nothing about real stocks. The finance majors are a little different and have some insight. This girl I know works at Charles Schwab and is still not as savvy as most normal stock traders. She just knows the technical but I'll tell her about a stock say Apple and she just rants about how Google is only going to grow. Then the next day Google is down a few points. Sure it's going to grow but you won't ever have extreme success betting with what everyone else is betting on.

I have a physical science degree so I'm good at analytical shit I guess. I'm sure if I took the path of finance major I'd have a very comfortable job but I'm more interested in scientific shit.

I wouldn't incorporate too much philosophy into stocks. The only thing that can really be shown in stocks is mathematical statistics and patterns. Most stocks run on News releases and hype.

I saw a thing about fibonacci sequences in stocks and that really amazed me.

I finally picked up the intelligent investor (been reading mastery/power two robert greene books) but I been reading Tii at work and have had two days to integrate what I learned sofar and Like the notion of your intrinsic science likeness, and investing vs speculating you would almost benefit by reading the intelligent investor because aside from me about to point out why you didn't buy in you seem to have investing character that you should grasp. For example had you bought few bucks and made few bucks would that positive affirmation made your hard looking technical needs to easily swooned by the next man? Had you done nothing watched the stock pass you by learned not one thing from that other then damn buy each and every tom dick and jary slipin like patroleum jelly? benjamin graham sez:  the true investor scarcely ever is forced to sell his shares, at all other times he is free to disreguard the current price quotation. he need pay attention to it and act upon it only to the extent that it suits his book, and no more. Thus the investor who permits himself to be stamped or unduly worried by unjustified market declines in his holdings is perversely transforming his basic advantage into a basic disadvantage. that man would be better off if his stocks had no market quotation at all, for he would then be spared the mental anguish caused him by other persons' mistakes of judgement. - Benjamin Graham The intelligent Investor.

Low level stocks potential to boom

MCZ
AVEO
NTN
CIDM

Blue chips under-rated

PYPL
EBAY
TWTR
DIS - when star wars comes out expect a huge price increase in stock income. (100$ a share) tho
GPRO

As oil stays low GMCR is a good investment. When it hits a high again they will make a lot more.

First off, I agree with Geo. I'm finally admitting the market looks bad. My biggest concern is that I don't expect any good news to be surfacing anytime soon. I still expect, or well I suppose its starting to become hope instead, the fed to raise rates before December. This is something that I think just needs to happen. But good news from China? no way. Good news from Europe? doubt we hear anything from Europe for a while. The only good news we had on the horizon was the continued string of good earnings, but now those are behind us. And now it is time for the market to go downwards.

That brings me to your blue chips, Gorlax. I agree that DIS is unfairly being beaten, but I think it has further to go. GPRO won't be anything until they begin to expand their product line and that could be a minute. TWTR is being beaten bad, but I'm not a fan of the company. PYPL and EBAY, dunno how I feel about them. But what I can say: I think that with a down market there will be no blue chips worth being in. They will all be brought down with the market. But again, thats just my 2 cents.

I'll check out your penny stocks tomorrow. One I am looking at is CRGP. I like it if I can enter below 0.002, maybe sell it above 0.0022. Maybe get a quick 10% to 30% in a day or two. I dont see this as a stock that will have anything more than a 50% day and even that is unlikely.

And lastly, Geo or anyone else with some insight. How do you think NTI might fair in a bear market? It is a refinery MLP so it makes money off of the spread between crude and gas prices. They pay out just about all of their profits and thus have a yield around 17%. My intuition is that their business model should keep them separate from the overall market, especially as crude prices continue to fall. Plus with such a large dividend (albeit unsafe) people might flock to it to get some sort of return. Now barring a significant dividend cut, I would think the stock's performance to be isolated from the overall market, but today it tanked with the market. I know the market isn't rational, but still. What do you think?

Edit. missed your last statement. what does GMCR have to do with oil? Could you elaborate on your thoughts some more?

Tii reads that in blue chips because managers have so much influence they are forced to sell bluechips when they are low and because their are so few bluechips worth buying their is so much  piled in by so few so when they make moves you see the real radical drops so for example a stock I noticed did this TSLA and I noticed WFM took a real slump. so no holds bar the history of A&P could be extrapolated to WFM. gonna look at buying WFM. cant afford atm.
but I am going to try. U guys notice my spleel about atvi wfm and metro and A&P few pages back? american A&P filed bank rupcy and ATVI is up like 6$ since then WFM lost like 9$ and metro was picked by a pro for liking the company.

Err.. looks like I was wrong. Would have been up over 100% right now if I had bought yesterday at 0.002 instead of placing a limit at 0.0018... oh well.

Stock Update for August 21, 2015 [Re: Bambi] * 1
    #22121799 - 08/21/15 10:57 AM (8 years, 5 months ago)

This is some serious carnage here today, and whatever support we had at the 2040 level on the S&P was sliced through like a hot knife through butter.  The volatility index is starting to spike and it looks like some stocks are stabilizing, but I would caution against getting sucked in too early.  There is a LOT of pain in the market right now, and I would expect any strength to quickly be sold.  I am almost entirely liquidated at this point, with the exception of some short option positions that will expire worthless at the end of the day, and that nagging position in SUNE that has really tugged down my account balance.  I understand the temptation to start buying things that have fallen so quickly, but do you really want to be holding stuff over the weekend and worrying about what Monday might bring?

Capital preservation is the name of the game right now, there will be plenty of time to trade stocks with higher probability setups, after the dust has settled.  It wasn't fun to see my account shrink this week, but adhering to my stops and stepping out of the way of this freight train of selling is allowing me to maintain some clarity and calmness by knowing that I will still have money to invest once this selling pressure has settled out.  I would expect to see some measure of a relief rally next week, but I am not going to position myself for it today, it's just too risky.  Looking at a longer term chart of the S&P, I could see this thing trading down to 1600-1700 before the year is out, not saying that will happen, but that is the range of the last market top in 2007 and the trendline connecting the 2008 market low with the 2011 low.

Bambi, in so far as NTI is concerned, it looks fairly stable, but it is a relatively new issue, so it has necessarily only been trading amidst a very strong market.  Therefore, there isn't really any historical evidence by which to gauge how it may weather a market downturn.  It does appear to be the type of company that could be a safeER place to house your money in a bear market, but I would still remind you that you should not necessarily feel compelled to own stocks in a bear market.  Just sit out the mess and wait for opportunity to come to you.

A couple of stocks that are standing out to me today, are PANW, tagging its 200 day moving average and bouncing to be almost flat on the day, and MO, also holding up nicely and sporting a decent dividend yield for added protection.  I'm not buying, but it is a good idea to take note which stocks are hanging in on days like these, those are the stocks you want to consider buying when the market shows signs of stabilization.

I am still confident that the economy will continue to improve. I think the sell off is temporary and there will be some good opportunities to be had in the next weeks. But then again this could be the beginning of a long term bear market. It's always a gamble. I want to pull the trigger on apple call options, although I'm worried that we're not at the bottom just yet. We'll see what Monday brings.

Well that was an exciting opening.  Unfortunately, it was very difficult to participate, as I simply would not get filled on my buy orders this morning.  It seems like we've hit a short term low with today's massive gap down, and I would be looking towards the stocks that have been in strong uptrends and haven't really broken longer term support. $NFLX, $ULTA, $HD, $MO are a handful that come to mind just looking at my screen. For my money, I am sitting on my hands. I tried to get some fills this morning, but as many traders I speak with have also noted, market functionality has been, well, fairly non-functional. I don't want to get trapped in a position while this all settles out, so I'm sitting out. I mostly trade options though, and during this type of move the spreads are so wide that it really stacks the deck against you to be buying. Waiting for calmer waters before I dip my toe in, even if that means I miss some impressive snap backs (which I did).
