[dmk112]

I'll take HOM long here.

[Runner]

I'll give CAL as try long here was my plan on it

CAL- The set up pullback from highs. This stock is in the Transportation sector/sub Major airlines. Both are in uptrends. Look for trigger @ 15.72 with stop under LOD or 14.49. Scale out 50% @ 16.95 and trail rest.

[diogenes]

[skiracer]

A veritable bloodletting today. In my own trading portfolio I cut the losses to my previous gains with both positions in PDLI and SIRF. Exited SIRF at 27.75. Hate to give back those hard earned gains. Exited PDLI at $28.25. I'm keeping a close eye on the position in PDLI. 7%, which is my normal is $26.72, but if it hits $27.50 today I want to close the position so it doesn't screw up our total %. So I'm placing a stop loss on PDLI at $27.50. If it hits it I'm out and will look for something new.

Cesv

Let er ride......ya never know.....I know pigs get slaughtered but I gotta figure out what the runup is for first before I give in to selling pressure.

p.s. can someone summarize the rules of this new game..can I sell and buy back later.

[Lyehopper]

Here are the rules....

Attention ALL $$$Mr. Market$$$ Members!!!!

You are welcome to play in BillyJoe's POTW contest on a weekly basis. It can be found (right here) on BillyJoe's Thread. (I'm just the scorekeeper)

Here are the Rules for all interested members. PLEASE READ ALL RULES!

(1) Pick one stock and post it (Long or Short) on the POTW thread anytime this weekend OR.... before the market closes on Monday.

(2) Any pick entered premarket will be entered at the "open" price. No limit orders are allowed.... If your pick is entered during market hours on Monday, the ticker price at the time of your actual post will be used to price your entry (I'll calculate the price, you just need to post the play)

(3) You can hold your pick all week.... or you are allowed exit your trade at any time to lock in a profit (or limit a loss).... After that, you can go into "cash" and make ANOTHER pick any time during the remainder of the week.... (You are allowed to re-enter your first pick if desired, that [then] becomes your second pick).... You may exit the SECOND pick to protect profit (or limit loss) but you must sit in cash after that.

(4) Try to pick a consistant gainer you have a valid reason to beleive will be profitable that week. PLEASE NO bb stocks allowed!... We're looking for volume and quality! Good Volume is critical in these picks because other's may be playing them in real life. I suggest an average of about 70k shares traded daily as a minimum vol. (volume requirement is not a hard rule just a suggestion) PLEASE NO "HAIL MARY" RISKY PICKS! This is a points race folks, BE CONSISTANT.... try to stay "Green".

(4) If you play a stock short, make sure shares ARE available to be shorted Example: I shorted a stock in the contest last week and when I attempted to "really" short it, there were NO SHARES AVAILABLE to short, thus that stock is NOT affected by short selling pressure AT ALL... and it kept rising. A very bad play on my part, and it cost me in my points standing. Learn from my mistake.... Make sure your "stinkers" can indeed be short sold in the real world!

Even if you are late to the game I invite you to still play You will be penalized for games missed.... but you'll be gaining valuable experience and the score card will reset to zero after the New Year begins.

Have fun! Do TA!.... Do FA!.... Do much aditional dd!.... PICK WINNERS! Enter your best picks in BillyJoe's POTW contest.... We'll all make money!!!!
