I have 22 consecutive profitable trades of 15% or better. How is this possible? Every day there are hundreds of stocks setting new highs, no matter what happens in the overall market. Many of these stocks are still at very reasonable valuations. Afraid of buying stocks at their highs? Think of it this way: a new high is really a future floor for companies with solid financial underpinnings. Quantitative momentum modeling makes it easy to identify stocks that can continue this upward momentum trend. Why does this happen? It's really very simple..ask me about what investors and cows have in common. I am $$$ MR. MARKET $$$. I AM HUGE!!! Bring me your finest meats and cheeses. You can join in on the fun.

Hope you get a lot out of it. It's pretty much the same stuff each time; a blend of channel behavior, volume by price, volume by movement, support resistence, common patterns, FIBs and EW. Throw in some sensible trade management and there you have it. Not everyone's cup of tea, but that stuff helps me greatly.

I am curious as to how you develop your watch list. With so, many stocks in the universe - how do you zero in on potential buys.
Well, I don't spend a lot of time looking. I've noticed that this site throws a lot of good ones around. I also check out Zeev's board at http://www.investorshub.com/boards/b...?board_id=1125 and sometimes the boards at http://www.fool.com/. I'll do simple scans at stockcharts.com and sometimes look at strong performing stocks at http://www.equitytrader.com. I like trading the eminis these days so I devote a lot of time to them.

I noticed that you purchased CDE. What is your current thinking of Gold and Silver? Maybe you can do a chart on the HUI. Thanks
Well, the recent selloff is a bit unexpected actually - or at least the pace of it. Today's precious metals selloff obviously linked closely to Greenspan comments and the USD bullishness. The USD chart looks pretty bullish, so what precious metals will do from here will be interesting. Here's a chart of HUI for you.
I just want to thank you spike for your insight on Mace. I got a little burned on it before but hope to make it back on shorting it a bit. I really appreciate your expertise.

I am a big gold trader in case you didnt know spike. I have owned CDE more times then I can count.. If your are interested in a few reversals that are in perfect wave count and fibbonnoci sequence.. Try DROOY and WHT
For my thoughts on the recent slide in gold.. Traders are not sure about what type of gold bull run they are on.. They are comparing what is happening to the last bull run of the early 80's.. Therefore any news that is not in parrallel with there current mind set leads to a sell off. Todays Greenspan news on Deinflation should do nothing but support golds current bull status, Todays dip was nothing more then scared traders. GOld will bounce to $410 before next tues..

You're welcome. Good luck on a short if your broker has it available. I'd suggest only shorting at resistence today, with tight stops that won't burn. That way if your setup is wrong, you admit it quickly and get back in the hunt for the perfect entry again without any pain.

Thanks for the info! Hey, what are your thoughts on speculation that silver has been manipulated for years and that there could be an enormous short squeeze sometime?
CDE update: Exited at 5.06 for -.34.
Re-entered long 5.08.
Reasoning: This morning's USD price action suggests weakness which should will help CDE, and PAAS (Silver mining co. that tends to lead) bullish break of inverted SHS neckline.
CDE stop is now 5.05
EDIT: PAAS bullflag intraday, so the new entry looks like it might be perfect.
Obviously CDE stopped out for another -.03. Small losses at logical points of failure while occasionally frustrating are a necessary evil and it's who loses the best in this game that wins the best
Today's action is long-term bearish for precious metals IMO, but I'll not be chasing short now. Perhaps channels down the road.
