You know you like'em hot stocks!

Check out LPSN
RMTI
ILMN
WZEN
CBIZ
PLA (yes Playboy,lol)
RWC
IINT

Oh, heres an interesting one....First Pet Life Inc (FPLF) at .25 and a price target of +6.55, it almost sounds too good to be true! And maybe it is! But you'll never know unless you take the risk! My advice is, buy between 2,500 - 5,000 shares at the most at .25 (or under). If they recieve the contract then you are going to be very happy! I'm talking about "buying a new car happy"! I know, I know I'm getting a little ahead of myself. But seriously, don't go too crazy! If you are that person who likes to drop $5000-10,000 (or more!) into penny stocks, don't come bitching to me that you lost a couple of g'z. I don't wanna hear it! All I'm saying is, investing a little over a grand is no big deal. Lets say the contract deals don't come thru, no big deal, you don't lose your shirt. But if you drop $10,000, thinking you're going to turn it into $200,000, well then good luck buddy! Don't bet the house!

and I got a few others up my sleeve! Pay extra attention to previously mentioned ones, such as PRLS, ADST, MTRX, QDEL, because these are hot right now as well! Once I am done studying for Midterms, I will be able to re-organize all these ideas I've thrown at you ( I know, its chaotic, I must have recommended like a 100 stocks since I've been low key due to midterms) so that we can take a better look and pick the cheap stocks with the best charts, news, fundamentals, etc! Its all about picking the right stock at the right time, ladies and gents!

The most exciting stock you/'ve own/ed....

Hey guys!

I was just thinking of some stocks that have kept investors and traders on their feet with wild movements and volatile upward (and sometimes downward trends). These stocks and the wild ride they provide is what makes the market such an exciting place! My two candidates are...


HISC.PK (bought at 0.0168 sold at 0.124)

VPHM (bought at 3.70- sold some at 13.50's, 17's, 19's)

I'm loving the chart on CBIZ........

Hey guys, I'm just popping up to say "wassssup" as I am taking a small break from mid-term studying. Don't think I forgot about the site and the market. But duty calls and the next few days will be hectic.

Anyways, check out CBIZ!




Yea I know the chart doesn't look that clear! Thats because the image loader does not let me upload any Bitmap (BMP) pics! Strange isn't it?! So, until I correct the problem, I will use the JPEG images! I guess its better than nothing!

After Midterms.....

Hey guys!

After Midterms are done and over with, I will have more time to post some new stock picks and comment on existing ones. I understand, alot has happened in the last few days and I feel like I have missed out! Can't wait to get back!

-Nick


p.s. I have to also fix the problem with the image loader because it doesn't work! Without, I will not be able to post charts and pics!

Have a great weekend!

RSTO is a buy now....

I have been patiently waiting on RSTO and I gotta say, todays huge volume spike and bullish reversal is good enough for me! See you at $8 in two weeks or less!

ONSC.OB kicked some A$$ today!

Onscreen Technologies (ONSC.OB), has been on a roll the last few days! Just cause I've been busy doesn't mean I haven't paid attention! At first I was starting to give up on ONSC, but then I noticed some life being breathed into it. I had purchased several thousand shares for myself around the time I mentioned it and believe me, I was ready to part with them. I decided to stick with it and gave ONSC another try (a few posts ago) and today we've been rewarded! When I mentioned it, ONSC was at a mere 0.20 cents! Today, ONSC had hit 0.50 cents and closed around 0.48 cents! Incredible! That was over a 100% return! Now thats what I am talking about! I like doubling my initial investment and I know you do to! There is more life left into ONSC, but I caution, you sell half or a quarter of your position so you can enjoy some of the profits! Remember what happened to NVAX?! Remember, I said sell some and buy some more when it dips! Come on, pay attention guys!

Got some time to kill, so I'm trying to add an RSS Feeder. Unfortunatly, I don't think I installed it correctly...lol

Hey, anybody know how to put an RSS feeder on a blog? I know it sounds like a stupid question, but Im a little technically challanged! Any help is appreciated!

Just a note on ACR and a few others........

I told you guys ACR is a hot long-term stock. Just look at the chart! It has been pretty bullish as of late and it continues to scale the 50day MA! I think ACR is the sleeper of the year! I love that rebound off the 50day Ma! Thats strength in its purest form! Anyways, yes I like ACR and yes I have a small position in it as of late (selling TRMS-which holding thru earnings was a bad thing. Still I escaped with some profits)! Anyways, I gotta get back to studying! Later!


American Retirement Corp (ACR) 3 month chart












-----------------
Also take a look at Home Solutions (HOM)



HOM is looking like a beast! Beautiful 3 month chart! I recommend this as a buy without a doubt!








HQ Sustainable Maritime (HQSM.OB)


For a penny stock, this is one nice looking chart! My target on this is 1.10








-----------------------------
A nice speculative play... American Oriental BioEngineering (AOB) at 5.56



I really like the chart and believe this stock will at least hit $10.00









---------------------------------------------
And now for a new potential....Beijing Medical Pharma Corp (BJGP.PK) at 1.45














Quidel Corp (QDEL)
Beat Earnings Estimates with Total Revenues increasing 47% and world-wide product sales increasing 58%! Way to go QDEL!!!

Just a note on NVAX

hey guys,


if you have bee following NVAX and bought some when I first started mentioning it, its time to take a small profit. I recommend selling between 25-50% of your position for now. If you have doubled your money, sell 50%, if you haven't sell at least 25%. I like the run-up, but you gotta take a profit. Tommorow or the next couple of days, the stock will drop (retrace on profit taking). If you want, you can buy more shares at a discount! Short term, I believe the stock will hit $6.50. Who knows where it will go from there. It may sound crazy, but this stock could easily hit $10-20 in a year or less! =P

PS: Dont forget about QDEL, BCRX, AVII, HEB, and the other plays!

Taking the Back Seat for a Few Days...

Hey Folks!



Midterms and 2nd Exams are coming up in the next few days (up until early next week), so I have to shift my focus from the market, directly to studying. I know I haven't finished the New Hopefuls and Potentials part 2, but I will get to it and finish it after the midterms are done with. In the mean time I will leave you with some stocks that I wanted to talk about, but I will not have the chance to do so......

HQSM UGNE ACE EEEI BTUI LEXR SYKE APT ARBA ACTG TMY BWNG SYS FTEK CPSS SSFT STEL PFCO MUSE IINT RNWK GROW AOB and RWC. Check them out, read up on them and take a look at the charts. Let me know which ones you like the best, Im serious!

In the words of Al Pacino, todays market is...."Envigorating!"

hehe, hey folks!


That phrase is from one of my favorite Al Pacino movies. I hope some of you can guess the movie, lol! Anyway that what I felt like screaming when I was able to sneak a peek at the market during a break in between classes! I just hope it keeps up! A couple of days like this and i'm going to be screaming "Envigorating!" as well! Lets hope the market continues this bullish reversal! Oh by the way, I am not done with posting all the stocks under the New Hopefuls and Potentials Part 2 section, so check later for the rest of the stocks. Anyways I'm off for now, I'' be back laterz!

-Nick

Oh by the way. keep an eye on NVAX, BCRX, RWC, AOB, HOM, BABY, VIVO, ACI, KNOT, and SKYW! They are all taking advantage of this up day! These are the kind of stocks I want and you should want as well!

New Potentials and Hopefuls Part 2: The stocks your broker didn't tell YOU about- Volume 2

Hey ladies and gents!


I have already posted the first installment of this highlight and decided to continue it in this 2nd installment! Of course I have more stocks to add and maybe a few to throw out as well! Also note that there are some previously mentioned stocks that I will be mentioning again! I need to emphasis the real winners and I will repeatedly do so until you guys recognize the winners and get some in your portfolio.

Disclosure: I have a small position in ADST, PRLS, NVAX and QDEL



Natus Medical Inc (BABY) is a wonderful small stock that I have been watching for some time now. I have watched it grow and then I watched it trade sideways for some time, wondering when the right time to jump in would arrive! That time is now! The stock is currently trading at $14.29. What are you waiting for?

Natus Medical Inc (BABY) 3 month chart


You gotta love the big volume buys! Those are insider and institutional buys! As a matter of fact, Insiders own 38.41% of the company and Institutions own 50.90%! That means that nearly 90% of the shares are owned by insiders and institutions! Also, company insiders have bought some stock not too long ago! Insiders have bought 787,000 shares since August, most of it part of a big 600,000 buy a few days ago!


BABY's past quarter performance

When it comes to beating earnings, BABY does it like a grown up. Make no mistake, not that many companies have such a nice looking track record. This BABY is all about growth! For the moment, BABY is the most attractive and technically sound play in the Medical-Systems and Equipment Industry.




So what does BABY do? Lets take a look!
Basically, BABY develops screening products for the identification and treatment of disorders in infants. The company’s product line includes ALGO Newborn Hearing Screener, a product line for hearing screening; neoBLUE LED Phototherapy device, a medical device for the treatment of newborn jaundice; Neometrics line of diagnostic reagents, used for newborn metabolic screening; neonatal heat shields and oxygen delivery hoods designed to provide a stable environment of oxygen and humidity for newborns with special needs; and MiniMuffs neonatal noise attenuators, which is designed to reduce noise exposure for babies in neonatal-intensive care units. BABY also offers its products to hospitals, clinics, labs, physicians, nurses, audiologists, and government agencies. BABY sells its products through a direct sales force in the United States, through its subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Japan, and through distributors in 50 other countries. As you can see, BABY's involvment in infant care is rather extensive. Now I know why the SEC gave it the "BABY" ticker! It is amusing, entertaining and fit for Natus Medical's line of work.

---------------------------
Adstar Inc (ADST) is a NASDAQ small-cap weighing in at $3.15. It is in the Internet- E Commerce industry. Some of you should know this because I have mentioned ADST before. Still I feel like I need to mention it again and get into more details. To me, ADST feels like one of those stocks that you feel like you've caught early, near its break out stage. Its one of those stocks that you have a feeling can double or even triple in value in a year (or maybe less!).

Adstar Inc (ADST) 3 month chart

One of the nicest chart I have seen in a while! it is probably one of the reasons I looked at ADST! Also, 50% of ADST is owned by company insiders, which is not a bad thing. I am hoping that it picks up some more institutional ownership in the future! If you haven't done so already, grab a small position and hold onto it! It will be worth it in the long run!



---------------------------------------------------------
Mesa Air Group (MESA) is an airline stock that I like! Just like SKYW, MESA is begining to show signs of life! It must be the falling gas prices. Regardless, like SKYW, MESA has a great looking chart that is ready for takeoff!!

Mesa Air Group (MESA) 3 month chart MESA is currently trading at $10.51


Shorts own nearly 20% of the float, so I beleive that this stock will go up nicely just on the short squeeze alone! The bottom line is, now is the time to get into MESA, while fuel costs are balancing out!





SkyWest Inc (SKYW) 3 month chart SKYW is currently trading at $28.25


A stock chart so nice, I had to post it twice! This is a double buy rating from me for SKYW! Don't get in at the last minute! The run-up is happening now!






----------------------------------

Neoware Systems Inc (NWRE) and Aware Inc (AWRE) may sound similar, but thats where the similarities end. Well actually, there is one other similarity! They are both hot stocks with awesome charts and fundamentals, that you need to own! The choice is yours really! Lets see...

Aware Inc (AWRE) 3 month chart AWRE is trading at $7.01

What I like about AWRE's chart is that the stock has just begun to break out! I really do feel like this is the early stage of a much bigger and stronger breakout! Look at the volume! Whenever the stock dipped to $4.5, massive buying commenced and the stock jumped itself up. Now, the stock has finally gained enough volume and momentum and has blasted thru the 50 day MA! Currently, 15% of the company is owned by company insiders and another 27% is owned by institutions.


Neoware Systems Inc (NWRE) 3 month chart NWRE is currently trading at $17


In comparison to AWRE, NWRE has already started its runup along with a huge increase in volume right before the big jump. That was the point in time when the institutions loaded up big time! And they still are. Average volume has increased 2X and the stock is just ripping it right now! NWRE is only 2nd to AAPL in the Computer- Manufacturers industry group! And thats saying alot! Also 13.51% of the company is owned by company insiders and another 50% is owned by institutions. The stock currently has 12% of its float short.

I'd like to comment that the university I attend uses Neowares computers and they are pretty cool! They are very thin, and rely on centrally managed servers for computing power, so there is no need for a hard drive or other bulky add-on! Because of this, my school is able to fit in more computers in a single table at the Library, and that helps make use of available space and ensures better, more efficient computer use.
------------------------------------------------
When it comes to the Internet Content industry, the first name that pops up in my head is Google Inc (GOOG). Yeah thats right, GOOG the monster! The stock that just keeps defying gravity. I wish I was in this game sooner. I caught glimpse of google when it was trading at the $170-180 level. And I decided to buy some. I regard it as one of my first stocks and probably the only one that I have held onto for so long. Unfortunatly I didn't have too much to put into it, so I bought a measly 20 shares! Not too bad! By the way, I am still going to continue to hold! That is because I believe that GOOG is one of those rare stocks that hasn't reached or even realized its full potential. But enough of that. I am going to recommend an Internet Content stock that I believe you should own. I know I mentioned REDF (has more momentum left) already and its all good, you can play that! Or maybe you prefer TOMO! TOMO has an awesome looking chart as well! Ok, maybe you don't feel like playing an Asian internet company.
So how about.....

Knot Inc (KNOT). KNOT is currently trading at 12.97.

Knot Inc (KNOT) 3 month chart

KNOT boasts one healthy looking chart! And to top it off, 75% of the company is owned by company insiders, while another 12.6% is owned by institutions.

Provides wedding related content, media and shopping services through www.theknot.com to engaged couples.



---------------------------------------------------
Bally Total Fitness (BFT) at 5.85 is a steal!














-----------------------------------------------
Ace Limited (ACE) is not "Ace the helpful place" as in home improvment. Instead, ACE is an insurance company that is going to make a ton of money off the damage caused by this years intense Hurricane season.

Bullish Indicators: Part 1

I believe it is important to point out some bullish indicators that can help you make more sound trading and investment decisions, especially when it comes to buying a stock.

Arguably, one of the best indicators of a stocks performance are the moving averages. These data points which are plotted as lines, outline a stocks expected course of movement. In addition, they provide clues to a stocks support levels as well. Many traders and investors use the 50day MA, 10 day MA (for quick changes in a stocks direction-perfect for day and swing trade) and 200 day MA.

The first bullish indicator that I will talk about is the phenomenon of when the 50day Ma crosses over the 200 day MA. I have included a chart to show illustrate this point.

Novavax Inc (NVAX) 6 month chart

As you can see, the point in which the 50 day MA crossed over the 200 Day Ma is marked with a huge increase in volume and a rise in stock price. In this way, it is a good idea to buy a stock that crosses its 200day Ma, as it signals a bullish reversal. In addition, many analysts and brokerage firms post new upgrades for stocks that have begun this bullish reversal.

The Great Lengths Men go Thru to keep Women Happy......

Hey guys,


I'm taking a breather from the market right now and concentrating on other matters, lol. Matters such as an anniversary present to my gf. It seems that she is into parrots, so naturally of course, I am on a bird chase to find an inexpensive parrot! I have looked and looked and it seems that the pet stores are a complete ripoff when it comes to selling pets. Because of this, I have looked around to find breeders, hoping to find a bird that is priced just right! I have found some birds called Quaker Parrots (average $150-$200) and Conures (average $250-450). These in my opinion are the best bang for the buck, parrot-wise! So how do they look? I'll try and post pictures! I am hoping somebody will have an opinion on which parrot looks better, lol!

Quaker Parrots

The Great, almighty Quaker Parrot! Exciting isn't it? lol


















Sun Conures babies

Personally, I like the Conures more, and evidentally so does everyone else. In result, they are higher in price than Quaker Parrots.










White-eyed Conure

ONSC may prove to be a good buy after all...

Although I have been contemplating to forget ONSC (Onscreen Technlogies) as a trade, recent insider buying has made me reconsider my stance on it. I say if you bought keep it and if you plan on buying, the .20 cent area seems like a nice place to buy. We will see how it trades in the upcoming days and weeks.

OnScreen Technologies (ONSC.OB) 3 month chart

Bird-Flu drug companies are popping out like weeds!

Accept no imitations folks! In the upcoming days and weeks, we will be seeing the emergence of hundreds of different companies all swearing that they are developing vaccines for the Avian Flu! All B.S! There are a few out there that are even worth it! Here they are....

RHHBY.PK (Roche)
NVAX
BCRX
CRXL
HEB
SVA
NNVC
QDEL
MYL
and maybe AVII Of course, do your homework on which ever ones you choose! Make sure they sound legit!

My favorite are:
NVAX (of course, lol)
BCRX
QDEL
NNVC
HEB
RHHBY

and maybe MYL! There is news that Roche will select certain generic drug manufacturers to make a generic version of Tamiflu. I know MYL is on the roster. I will try to find out some other names as well!

Novavax Inc (NVAX) 3 month chart


Now thats a hot chart! I do expect a retracement to at east 3.00 soon! This is because the stock is a little over extended from its 50 day MA. In a more extreme case, if the stock fell heavily, it would have some support at 2.5 and above. Still, I do believe that there is plenty of upside left in NVAX. This could be a big winner for 2005 and maybe early 2006! Do I hear $5 coming up?

SLXA and AHCI are trending higher!!!

SLXA (my 3rd pick) and AHCI (another early pick) are starting to move upward and began a new bullish pattern! I was criticised for both those picks not long ago from a broker. He didn't believe in either of the stocks. I told him to watch and learn! Oh and to also be patient, because patience has a lot to do with it as well!! This was a long time coming, but I do feel confident enough to display these 2 charts below as buys!

FINALLY!

Solexa Inc (SLXA) 3 month chart 10.20.05












Allied Health Care (AHCI) 3 month chart 10.20.05


MBRX is ready to blast-off!!!!

Hey guys!



MBRX is a small bio-tech/pharma play that I have mentioned over 1 a week ago (maybe 2 weeks ago). The stock is looking healthy and the surge in volume today confirms what I have already believed. This stock is looking like it may breakout and settle in the mid 7's any day now. Keep your eye on it!

Home Solutions can make itself at home even in the most diversified portfolio.....

Hey guys,


One stock that I would like to note is Home Solutions (HOM). I have been watching it for weeks and I have to say, it looks like a great long term winner!

With the NASDAQ up and the DOW down...

its easy to see where the money and the institutional buying is heading! Tech and Healthcare (medical and pharma) are the big winners in the NASDAQ market and they are being rewarded graciously! Just look at GOOG, REDF, BIDU, CPTV to see what I mean! Even QDEL and NVAX continue to do well! I told you, get some of that QDEL! Also BOT is ripping it! I like this stock but I unfortunatly didn't have any funds freed to buy it a few days ago when it first came out. I am waiting for a pull back and that way I can buy a few!

Thursday, October 20, 2005

Penny Stock of Pick for the rest of October.....

IVME is looking like a good buy to me!

New Potentials and Hopefuls Part 2: The stocks your broker didn't tell you about- Volume 1

Hey folks!


Okay, okay so yeah I have a couple of stocks that I am really excited about! I didn't want to let them out so soon, but I might as well let you guys in on some real movers and shakers. Whenever I am not at school, working, doing homework, working out or with my gf I am hunting and I mean really hunting for hot stocks! I go all out! Sometimes I use a stock screener, sometimes I don't. I look for insider buys and I look for sound charts and stocks with good news. Preferably, I like the low key ones, but sometimes I feel like I find a good one and then the next day or week everyone knows about it ( i hate that!). It doesn't allow me to get in a nice position. So I gotta rush along with every other Tom, Dick and Harry that has just "discovered" the stock! This has happened on NVAX, AZMN and a couple of other ones.
Don't get me wrong, the other plays are fine too! The only ones I would consider selling or not buying are, LGF, TRMS, ONSC, and a couple others that are stinkers right now. The Flu bio-techs are still hot! I like those a lot!

Here we go......

NeoMagic Corp (NMGC) at 3.55 is a tiny semiconductor company that is perfect for a quick trade. It is attempting to break out of a huge base that it has holed itself into. Although I like NMGC, I can only recommend it as a trade and not an investment. Don't be afraid to take a profit either as this stock can quickly turn on you.

NeoMagic (NMGC) 3 month chart


If NMGC can bounce off the 50day MA, then it is in perfect position to attack $5. The last thing we need is NMGC trading sideways and then eventually crashing.







-----------------

Birch Mountain Resources (BMD) at 5.20, is one of my favorite Metal Ore companies (besides AMZN). As you know, mining is hot right now, especially with Gold, silver, diamond, and copper prices up recently. If a picture is really worth a thousand words, then BMD's chart does all the talking for it!

Birch Mountain Resources (BMD) 3 month chart

BMD's chart is sure looking good! As you can see, higher volume has been consistant, especially after the big burst of volume during the major breakout! Look at the volume before the breakout! A big improvment!






------------------
Sykes Enterprises (SYKE) is a hot NASDAQ stock trading at $13.46. SYKE is in the Commercial Services industry which is technically sound at the moment.

Sykes Enterprises (SYKE) 3 month chart


I really like SYKE's chart! This is a very healthy stock that I believe will eventually hit $20








---------------------------
Concur Technolgies (CNQR) is a stock that I have mentioned previously, but I will mention again! I really, really really like this stock! It is a stock that is very slept on! Don't sleep on it! grab some and forget about the shares for a while!

Concur Technologies (CNQR) 3 month chart


CNQR is in my opinion, one of the most consistant and greatest performing stock for 2005. I really like CNQR!








-----------------------------------------
Capital Source Inc (CSE) is in the business of giving you money! Only problem is, you have to enventually give it back or end up with some major legal issues! So instead of taking out a loan with them, buy their stock (like all the other company insiders did) and wait a few month, cash in the stock and voila! You got a free loan!

Capital Source Inc (CSE)


The good news is, the stock has just begun to breakout. The bad news is, your chances of buying it cheap will not last long! Especially once the institutions start buying!






----------------------
Pressure Biosciences Inc (PBIO) is an interesting small company trading at $5.65! It is in the Medical Products industry. PBIO develops products that utilize its Pressure Cycle Technology that allows control of biomolecular interactions. In English, it develops enzymes that pharmaceutical companies utilize in their drugs (pills, longes, etc). These enzymes react to different variable, such as temperature, acidity, pressure in the body and perform a specific task. For example, it can develop a special enzyme that provides a protective coating over a pill of asprin so that it slowly dissolves in your stomach acid or a pill that can resist a stomach acid. Anyways, enough of that...














--------------------
MIRKQ
















Yukos Corp ADR (YUKOY.PK) is a small international Oil and gas company. It is a risky stock, but as the chart suggests, the company has started on a new uptrend. Whether or not it can sustain it is another story. Let the stock fall closer to the 50 Day MA. This should give us a better view of the stocks situation before we even consider buying.

Yukos Corp Spons ADR (YUKOY.PK) 3 month chart












--------------------------------------------------

SYS (SYS) is a mysterious, small computer tech service company trading at $5 on the AMEX. I am not very crazy about the industry that it is in, but still the chart looks promosing and the stock has been rising on above average volume! It may be a buy...we'll keep an eye on it!
-----------------------------
Adstar Inc (ADST) is a stock that I have already mentioned! It is trading at $3.19 and it is in excellent shape! I really think this stock should be trading at least $4-5! The concept to ADST is simple as well. It is basically a company that provides a web based market place for people to buy ads.













------------------------------
Home Solutions (HOM) is another hot stock that is just ripping the market apart, a little at a time! The stock is currently trading at $5.48. I believe its a good buy here.













------------------------------
SkyWest Inc (SKYW) is the only airline transportation stock that I am going to recommend. I honestly hate that industry and the stocks that go along with it. Still, SKYW is an awesome stock and for that reason, it is a buy. In my opinion, it is the best performing airline stock!













-----------------------------------------------
HealthExtras (HLEX) is another hot company that has just recently broke out into a new bullish trend! Buy some and hold for a few months!





Quidel Corp (QDEL) I dont know how many times I have to mention it to get everyones attention! This one is going to be big! Don't be the last one on when an analyst or Cramer recommends it! Get in now before the hype starts!



* Due to technical difficulties last night, I was unable to finish posting the last of the stocks. I will try to finish posting them today!

Replacing QGEN with QDEL

hey folks,


I know I mentioned QGEN not too long ago but it seems that the stock is not performing that well as of late. So instead of wasting time and sticking with a stock that sucks (I had to put it bluntly) I decided to recommend QDEL in its place! I mentioned QDEL in my Avian (bird) Flu special the other day. In case you want me to recap, QDEL is a medical supplies company that designs and makes the testing strips and drug tests to test out vaccines and to check for the presence of the bird flu virus! You know this is big, so don't get in when its too late!

CaN YoU HeAr mE nOW?! Part 2: More Telecom

Hey guys!


This is the 2nd installment of my telecommunication segment. The first telecomm stock that I profiled was Big Daves's pick, Dobson Communications (DCEL) a while back. I still like DCEL, and as a long term investment it is a rare gem that could easily double in price. But still I have other picks for those who want to play other telecomm stocks. Although not as hot as DCEL, these stocks have pretty decent charts and have some potential as well.

Rural Cellular Corp (RCCC) at 15.00 even is a steal!














-------------

Kongzhong Corp Ads (KONG) at 13.39














---------------------

Hutchison Telecomm Intl (HTX) at 19.47

I'd wait to see if the HTX bounces off the 50day MA, just to be safe.

TDC As Adr (TLD) is a foreign telecomm stock at $26.79

Although this is thinly traded, it is in a bullish run and may be worth a look for the foreign telecomm investor/trader.

NVAX and the Bird-Flu plays are the real winners today....

Stocks like NVAX, HEB, BCRX, NNVC and QDEL are the real winners right now! My advice is to at least own one of the above. If bird-flu is not your thing, then try some MEMT, or ADST ( a new hot stock that I have recently found). I would stick to the winners though! I have a Mid-Term to study for tonight, so if I have a chance I will post some more stuff, if not, I will be back tomm! Later guys!

A lesson about holding through earnings part 1

I decided to hold my small position of TRMS through earnings tommorow, October 18th, 2005! I took a little off the table so I can escape with a little profit incase things go sour (which they may)! I am doing this as an experiment so that we can all learn, including myself. I noticed that sells at 15 were quickly gobbled up with out a moments hesitation. I also noticed more orders on the bid (which I believe is offers to buy at the bid price) than the ask side, so maybe this is bullish! This is what I am testing! We will see tomm!

At times, it can be hard to tell when to sell....

Even though at times it may seem difficult to spot a good buy point, it is even harder to spot a sell point. We get wrapped up in the moment when we see our all-star pick shining with a +20%! At this point in time, you are probably asking yourself, "do I sell and make out like a bandit?" or "do I hold on and get another +10% profit?". I will discuss this and also post up charts highlighting sell points and signals! I will also post a buy point special and highlight key buy points so that you can jump in a stock before its big run up! All this and more after I do my homework and labs, lol!

Ok, I'm done with some homework, so I decided to try and post some charts so that we can spot some tops and selling signs.


One of the clearest signals pointing to you to sell a stock is industry sediment.









Yes, both of these charts are from two major homebuilder stocks. The top is Toll Brothers (TOL) and the bottom is NVR Inc (NVR). These 2 behemoths are industry leaders, and "speak" for the majority of the homebuilders. So basically, by noting and citing weakness in the big dogs, you can essentially figure that, that particular industry may have topped off. This is obviously the best time to take your profits and perhaps open up a short position. Now although industry weakness (the housing bubble in this case) is a great way to spot a top, it is not always the most reliable. Because of this, we have to also take a look at and explore other theories and clues (both technically and fundamentally) to spot tops and selling points. A perfect exception to the "follow the industry leaders" rule is that sometimes, companies that had been lagging during the leaders runup have just started their bullish uptrend. A perfect example is Brookfield Homes (BHS)

Here we can see that BHS is defying the notion of the industry sell off. Still, I do see BHS going down soon

Have a great Saturday Night!

Hey guys,


Before I leave you for the night, I want to highlight one more stock. Its RSTO and it is about to begin a bullish reversal! I also like TUC. Do not leave these out of your sight, because they are going to go higher and higher and many people will not even "discover" them. Anyways, Im out for now cause its all work and no play and you no that aint riiiight! So have a great Saturday night, and I will be back later tomm after some hw!

A couple of sick stocks that are gonna benefit from this Avian Bird Flu hysteria....

Hey folks!


If some of you listened to me since the begining, you would have already carved yourself a nice position in NVAX. If not, its still not too late! I have a couple of other bird flu plays that I would like to share with you all!

Novavax Inc (NVAX) 3 month chart


Here's our wonder stock! Now I realize why all these insiders bought!








-------------------------------------------------

Hemispherx Biopharma Inc (HEB) on the AMEX is another small bio-pharmaceutical company racing to develop an effective bird-flu vaccine! It is also looking great technically as well!

---------------------------------------------------

Nanoviricides Inc (NNVC.PK) is a small pink sheet bio-pharma company also developing a vaccine for the bird-flu. I like this one because it has the right momentum to shoot it up to $1.















-------------------------------------------------

Quidel Corp.(QDEL) is a hot stock as well! That is because QDEL make the testing kits that labs use to test for bird-flu virus and for the vaccines. That means that QDEL at 10.46 is a bargin. This stock is going to $25-30, and you can bet on it!

Quidel Corp (QDEL) 3 month chart













----------------------------------------------------

BioCrystPharmaceutical (BCRX) of course is an excellent bird flu and I feel a little bitter that I didn't see it earlier. This is because BCRX had caught my attention when it was no more than $6 a few months ago. Now it is at 16 and I missed out big time. I am still waiting for the inevitable pull back that mutual funds will use to load up. If not then I will buy a small position on minor pull back and I will add to the position if it dips lower. Don't buy more than 50-100 shares at these levels just incase it pulls back.















--------------------------------------------------

Sinovac Biotech ltd (SVA) an AMEX stock, is also hot!














-----------------------------------------------------

Roche Holdings (RHHBY.PK) is another hot potential to take advantage of the bird flu craze. They already have a vaccine out called Tamiflu and I am hearing that they can't even keep it on the shelves!













-------------------------------------------------
Also there are a slew of other bird flu plays as well, such as like GMED, SUWN, EMFP, GNBT

GNBT 3 month













SUWN 3 month chart













GMED 3 month chart













EMFP 3 month chart














Thats it for the Long side of things! I dont even care if there are any other ones out there that I have missed, thats enough stocks to play with (unless its really hot!)! These stocks are all at varying prices and should cater to all traders with various buying power. Now I want to concentrate on the short side of things!
----------------------------------------------

Stocks that you can SHORT to take advantage of the Bird-Flu scare............

My 3 top short candidates are:

Pilgrims Pride (PPC) For some reason, I can't post a chart!!! Believe me, PPC's earnings will be nothing to be proud about!

Anyway, chickens are birds and can contract the virus, so its a safe bet that if people stay away from chickens, companies that sell chicken products will suffer horrible sales and the stock price will go down. There you go! If this is your first time shorting stocks, these chicken stocks should be a great way to pop your cherry, lol.

GoldKist (GKIS) 3 month chart


You can kiss this one goodbye in a few months!










Tyson Foods (TSN)



This one is going down and out like the Mike real soon!
