IMO BSC aint looking too good

even the CEO had to dump all 5+ million of his shares (at a loss of about $940,000,000(compared to if he had sold it earlier))

Im going with INTC long
even though the stock is sucking. the new processors they just released are great. they finally got 45nm with quad core @ 2.5GHZ for under 300 bucks

[MrSer]

C short. It will be in the teens real soon. Its made me a bunch and won't stop for another 2-3 months.

[Gzapper]

SEED long please.. mental games on this one.. i mean cmon look at the chart... this thing goes up and down more than a nurse at a gogo bar eating fish with her aunt mary that just bought certs from the candy aisle to paint 4 walls in the fireplace dungeon at the alaska hilton. chimmichangas are a plus and dont forget the plunger people! unless u go to uncle peters house.. he will surely be stocked up with glee. :turtle: :mrgreen:

BQI long It's at the bottom of it's recent trading range and if it doesn't drop through 3.89 it may run back to 4.15. probably enough to get me 7th place again
Serious week last week, has to be one of our best ever in the weekly under current rules.

[rkahn]

SYNA - long

[Jordan]

DSTI long

[Tonkatoy]

bce long
bending buyout from Ontario Pension Teachers Union, CRTC, (your FCC) has approved the deal, people are just nervous about financing but I think peoples nerves get eased.

[1960vw]

DAR long please. Chinese counterpart just had a great run-up. think DAR will follow suit.

[John Law]

BIDZ short. Recent run up on low volume looks to have lost its steam.

Can't believe I didn't even medal with 16% last week. I need to study solar stocks more, obviously. :)

[yupyup]

BBY long.

[Assault on Reason]

Long DXD

I like this stock too, but I'll take it short.

More than doubled in price this past week, hit it's head on resistance at about $5 and started to pull back, and I believe it's downhill from here, (for the short term at least)

BPAX short

[Pinguin]

I'll take CRTP long...filter pick based on RSI(11) at 30 cross

[wehttamsivad]

i'd like zinc long please

[wehttamsivad]

thought i'd add zinc is also an agricultural play

[Keventerprises]

I'm going with TSRA Long this week. Still experimenting with filters. Price is 22, with an RSI(15) crossing up sharply through 50. I also liked the historical consistency of both the MA(50) and the MA(200) for months before the price seems to have temporarily deviated from. That downturn appears to have now reversed upward. I haven't been using Vector Vest lately, so I hope there isn't a good reason for the recent decline. I'm looking for 10-15% with a possible double top in the middle:

[BetonBeer]

FSLR - Short. Great run up last week

[mlegha1]

RT short they report WED hopefully will miss,blame the credit crunch and guide lower.

[Keventerprises]

Long DXD

2962

Hi AOR, :welcome:)
From what I've seen, Ultras are mostly a day trade because they cycle up and down within a fairly narrow though often consistently predictable range, and DXD is up near the top of it's recently traded range. 1-3% up or down is the usual max back and forth almost daily. If DXD goes over 57-58 I would short it. The diversity of the DOW 30 keeps it from moving too much whereas sector funds move more directionally with more momentum. The NASDAQ moves more directionally because of the higher contents of Technology stocks.

Just sharing my thoughts and limited experience.

[primer]

EWS Long

[Hondaboy]

Going with V again please then next week I will pick a real stock unless someone got this.:cool2:

[Luvnrio]

BVN Long please.

[BentleyVTech]

I'll go with EMC long...its at 14.30, just over its 52 week low, hopefully as the market turns around, this will as well. I know I shouldnt invest with 'hope' but its only the weekly challenge.

My other play would be SNE because its near its 52 week low as well...

[Hondaboy]

Going with V again please then next week I will pick a real stock unless someone got this.:cool2:


I didn't see anyone take this but if so I will like FUL please.

[stockviper]

TIE long please...Titanium Metals

The 2 recent gap downs are too hard for me to ignore.

Could run $25.00 fast.

[flybynight]

SIRI please

[stockviper]

Just saw that...Hilarious (but how true). Sometimes the only cure for these things is death.

[Jordan]

I should have went with ASTI again

[Pinguin]

What a great short my filter picked...too bad I was looking for a long...argh

[Keventerprises]

I didn't see anyone take this but if so I will like FUL please.

Your V is FUL, and y'all are out of control. They shouldn't close this joint after the week is up. We need some after hours rhetoric, to properly gain closure on the week(ly challenge). The after hours Chat is among the best. 'Course here on 'PST' we have a distinct disadvantage to you Easterners, but you guys need all the help and charity you can get, so we'll call that a 'Gimme' and you can park in the Handicap spot, once or twice.
I know your pride won't let you accept charity, so maybe it's true, the Sun does rise in the East... :saint: But it sets in the West. Just kidding, Go Yankees!!! Oh, the men in white are here. Gotta go.

Yeah Tonka, don't feel bad, we've all been there! We've all been to the House of Pain, and doubt. :stickyman: :help: :nurse: :banghead: :sheep: :driver: :top:

We all get sick too, and when you get sick and tired of being sick and tired, you get better!
