DUG LONG for my first post haha

[Hirsch]

NTRI Long

After the big gap up two weeks back and last week's placid performance despite the positive rise in the market overall, I'm still thinking NTRI has more potential for upward movement. Something that resembles a Bull Flag can be seen in the charts for NTRI

With the S&P 600 small cap move for NTRI and the number of companies releasing earnings this week, hopefully it'll be better than last week. RSI and Slow Stoch indicate NTRI getting near over-bought which makes the chart seem iffy (both are around 70), but it appears as though the stock hit bottom a while back and the last week could have been shaking weak hands out.

Since this isn't real money, who needs to wait for confirmation?

PAET long.

Explanation is in my thread.

[bigzip]

AXL long

[Shhhhh]

Long NCC. This guys had the crap beat out of it lately. hasn't really participated in the financials rally either. I believe unless they experience some sort of bear stearns sized catastrophe, i.e. and takeunder for $3-$4. They have cash, a sizable ($1B+) position in visa. and a strong presence in the midwest.

The market should respond nicely to their earns which come out tuesday. There is so much bad news caked into their current price, I think they could experience a relief rally. I believe this is going to be a good play for the week, and also long term.

Disclosure. I am a holder of NCC. So my money is where my hypothetical mouth is!!

best of luck to all.

[Tonkatoy]

PEIX long please. Small Ethanol play. Daily Charts show RSI is low. Stochastics show its oversold.

[Supreona]

UFPT Short

[Keventerprises]

If it hasn't been taken, I'm going to show faith and confidence in PAL Long.

Thierry, where are you getting quotes for RDTA? It's been stuck at $9.48 since Monday. I can't get quotes for RDTA anywhere.

Maybe you should do at least 5 minutes of fundie work before trading purely on technicals. They changed their name to "Tiger Logic" the day (friday) they launched their new Chunkit! search engine add-on. The moment I saw your pick I read about them and went to their little demo on the website. I think it's a crock of useless cr*p but then most everything on the internet is and it's all almost impossible to value any of it. Therefore I just thought "don't touch it" - although maybe you'll make money since maybe everyone else came to the conclusion that it's cr*p too - seemed to be down quite a lot recently!

Well you say that but how the heck did thechartguru get an opening price of 6.70? Everywhere else it looks like $10 to me and he'd be doing quite well.

[TheChartGuru]

Symbol changed to TIGR

Thank you.
Shouldn't Monday's opening price be $10, instead of $6.70?

I do briefly look at a stock's fundies, but I didn't even bother since it was just a contest pick. I never expected the name change, but the fundies and technicals remain the same and as you said, this company is garbage and it is overbought. Exactly what I look for as a short candidate.

Well said, Aiki! That's good you can still get the good stuff. They used to have some big league fireworks too.

I am pleased, I came back a lot on that pick of mine!!!!

Fortunately, PAL came back at the end of the week! If it had done that all week, it would have been well into the Positive Percentages.
