Stenz,
Now 11.70. I must have not read your thread closely. EMKR was on my hot list. If it made the earnings it was cash in the bank. Lucky for me it was only a POTW loss. I've learned that holding a stock for an expected development usually backfires.

As it turns out, I could have gotten out higher for about half the day today. The late filing that prompted me to bail out probably had much less effect then the general market mood. The general market mood has been good to my QID, though, currently up 5.8%. I adjusted my QID stop up to $39.50, so if it triggers, I'll only be up 2.5% on it.

I should say that it serves you right for not reading my thread more closely.

Another interesting ETF, for those who may think that the Chinese market is in a bubble
- FXP: UltraShort FTSE/Xinhua China 25

ProShares also has ETF's that short or ultrashort other international indices.

After the initial strong market open this morning, I tightened the stop on QID to 39.90.

If traders are selling rallies, then the opening should be the market high for the day (and the low for QID) as bears remain in control. If bulls are taking over, then after an initial attempt to drive the strong open back down, the market could head up again beyond the opening, driving QID back below the opening price.

After the initial strong market open this morning, I tightened the stop on QID to 39.90.

Tightened it again to 40.75, which has now triggered.
40.75/38.55 = +5.7% since last Thursday.

EMKR up strong today after conference call this morning.
Oh, well. You can't go broke taking profits, as they say.

It looks like WATG has just been determined to get down to where the private placement was priced at $8.65. Maybe that level will provide some support.

I bought some LUNA this morning at $8.81.

Though I may have made a premature entrance, I'm liking the way CYBS is behaving, it looks like cup w/handle to me. My entrance was at $17.38, on what now appears to be the right side of the base.

Bought SDTH at 9.85.

Bought SDTH at 9.85.

Was lucky enough to grab this on an intraday pullback.
Recent news on patent, PEG about 0.6.

WATG came up nicely off the 50 day average today.
I'm trying to find a pattern to follow to trade this better than I have been.

[stenzrob]

Tightened it again to 40.75, which has now triggered.
40.75/38.55 = +5.7% since last Thursday.

Glad to be out of the QID position, I don't like hoping the market will be in a long term downtrend. Well, that, plus QID is already back below where I bought it. After-hours trading following RIM's results indicate another probably up day tomorrow as well.

Bought SDTH at 9.85.

Holy SDTH, batman!
No wonder this was #1 on the IIC100.
Now over 11.80, this is up about 20% in two days.
I placed a stop at 11.40, which if triggered will still be over +15%.
On vacation next week, but will be trying to escape the family for a few minutes each day to check in to see what's up with this and others.

If the stop triggers, I'll be looking for a lower re-entry,
and if it continues to move up, I will adjust the stop as needed.

SDTH is incredible. I adjusted stop to 11.90.
It went up $1 on a half day of trading,
but I only adjusted the stop by 50 cents.

Merry Christmas , Stenz. May we all find a bunch of SDTH's in 2008.

Great play by both you and Doug Stenz. Protect those gains!

Stopped out of SDTH today, executed at 11.90.
+20.8% since 12/19.
I will be looking for another pullback to consider a re-entry.

Meanwhile,Piper Jaffray raised their target on WATG today.
"Piper Jaffray reiterates Buy. Target $12 to $15. Piper raises their ests and target to $15 from $12 after the co announced a 3-year $32 million export contract win. Firm says the contract win continues to solidify the co's position as a global supplier of auto parts, and they believe that future contract wins with global OEMs will provide positive catalysts for the stock"
I bought WATG on 12/5 at $10.55, now at about $11.50 (+9%), but this move may bring more attention.
This one is too thinly traded to use a stop.
