Spike's Scientific Stock Analysis

Greetings Spike,

Would you consider this a valid short?



I see the double bottom,yet it appears to have gapped to upper channel.Not sure of the R/R yet.

Another "celler dweller" coming up! HUGE insider buying!!!! HUGE! Volume up by 50% at this time already. Not the best fundies. Big saucer (or messy cup and handle) coming out of 2 year formation.
So what do you think, my furry friend?

Keep a close eye on it. If you have 10% or better in it (gain that is), I would consider rollong back a little or, at very least, get a stop limit in to protect your gains.
It's on light volume, but could still get some profit taking from the folks that got in 2 weeks ago or the long term holders that have a chance to recoup some here.

Spike BRCD just came up on my radar screen .wow the volume is 37 Million Plus For a 6 dollar stock......Looks as if she is really moving . Has she ran out of gas or does the stock still have legs? Thanx Pete!

DISCLOSURE: I am long in Brocade.

I got in BRCD in mid Feb. under $5, and I have a sell target of $7.04 for them, which is roughly 15% above its current price. The scary side is that it has had a steady, but not meteoric, rise over the past 3 months or so, and pretty decent volume.
With that said, there are an awful lot of people sitting in BRCD with some nice gains. If they start taking some profit off the table, it could stall out the stock or cause a pullback.
A pullback would not necessarily be a bad thing; rather, I would see it as an opportunity.
Keep that in mind if you decide to go in. Normally I would say that you were chasing gains that already occurred, but the fundamentals are still very strong here.

Yep Tom, NB is right, you should use the TWS demo platform to practise http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en...?ib_entity=llc. Choose individual demo. If you want to feed IB data into QT, you have to enable TWS to do so.

Greetings Spike,

Could you give some input on this one?



It looks similar to BEL,Im looking at a bid of 10.43 or so,with a stopat 10.20,targeting 15.

2% risk,50% gain,am I in the ballpark?

cordially Tom

Beautiful setup you have planned dude! It's worthy of following It's a boomer on the weekly with room to 15.00 where weekly channel is. I like the bullish band action and especially that vol gap up earlier this year. Channel turn up 4 ays ago so your bid area and stop are excellent. Now it's just a matter of whether it comes back for you.

Good luck dude!
EDIT: Forgot to comment on that fantastic r/r too Now that's putting the numbers on your side

Greetig Spike,

I applied at IB,and am waiting tranfer of funds from Scottrade,cant wait to get started with direct access.Any thoughts on setting it up,I thought I saw you mention TWS platform?Anyhow thanks for the info,along with NBB.

cordially Tom

Tom,
It's about time! Welcome to the big leagues! No excuses now!

I would simply suggest that you practice on their tutorial platform. It is going to take a few days to transfer your account, so make good use of the time by practicing. They have tons of options for you. Consider the'fill or kill' order and other conditional orders. I think you'll do well here.

Hi Spike,
Is that a good enough RS&H on LSI on 2 1/2 year chart? Looks good except for the big ol dent in the head....(does that really matter?)
thanks.

Looks OK to me, heads are allowed a degree of complexity and ugliness hehe You could probably get away with calling that a cup with handle too. See how that handle has a wedge/triangle shape. For me, it's gotta do a weekly and monthly close over 12.00. And THEN it's gotta pull back to the neckline or give a channel long or sumfin. But it's an excellent one to bring to da table! Thanks fer the heads up. Just added it to the stalk sheet. I will do a blog feature on this one if ya don't object It's got potential this one!
