Great job on MED so far.

I was watching it late...Looked great at 15.80 with 6 mins left...If there had been about 10 mins more I would have bot for a quick trade...However, it surprised me and did go up to 16 in that short time...Missed out...IIC

Doug thanks for your concern , no I very seldom buy these picks

Outstanding ski! Congrats on finding a gem!
lol at that comment. Yeah, nice short dmk; ELOS running for the Burnt Toast Award now that it's lost that major support. Channel turn down today green lights the intraday pivot short (22.53) tomorrow people. 2.5% risk to target 17.00 is r/r of 10. Now that's hard to pass up.

Thanks Spike,

Even with the big lead I can still feel you right behind me. Hope it holds up throught tomorrow. Might have to exit and just coast in Thursday and Friday. Interesting fact is that yesterday I was looking at the daily and through up a Raff Regression Channel on it an it was just about showing a channer long signal. I was thinking that except for the fact that they were reporting earnings after hours yesterday it looked like it could be getting ready for an upturn and then the earnings report came in super and that provided the impetus for the gap up this morning. Sometimes I call the company and try to talk to the information officer or VP of Sales and Marketing to get a better idea of how the qtr. is shaping up. Over the last few weeks that I have been watching this stock I have called them several times to question how they are doing an although they are not allowed to give out to much info they were very upbeat about their situation coming into reporting earnings. I felt it was ready for a pop. I got more than I expected. Now I'm looking at the same chart with the Raff Regression Channel an it looks like it is giving off a channel short signal an is somewhat overbought on the RSI indicator. I'm up $3.75 in the position in real life. In the morning I'm placing a stop up real close around $15.75 or $15.80 to lock in those gains and protect the 1000 shares I own. This is going to get me close to even with this stock. It was one of my biggest losers a couple of years ago. I was a heatbeat away from buying 2000 shares but it was in front of earnings and that held me back somewhat. Just a great feeling to catch a nice move like this.

Thanks Spike & Rob. Will look tomorrow to possibly cover if it bounces, it can turn into a double bottom.

Keep an eye out on OLAB... it has been consolidating recently and it went up late in the day...it can make a run at $8 again...IMO

There are a number of players who were among us last week who are not here this week. We have to bring these lost sheep back into the fold. They are:
BJ, New-born Baby, T-Fred, and Scifos.

Formerly active players absent for two weeks in a row now are: Bjdj and Dakat.

Jim Smith has been gone for three weeks now.

Then there are nine others who used to play here who've been gone for many weeks. It would be nice to have as many as possible return, so if gentle persuasion doesn't do the trick, perhaps we can try shame and humiliation. And if that doesn't work, we can move on to things like blackmail. Does anyone have any photos of these absent players in compromising situations? Do you have their spouses' email addresses?

I'm not necessarily talking about those you mentioned...But in general when the market is tough and many lose money...Posts drop off...There are very few of us that have played this game since the 60's and just keep going in good times and bad...But actually...I don't really think it is bad right now for those that are adaptable to whatever is happening...But for those that stick to one system...Do or Die...Well...Die might be apropos...IIC

In my opinion, everyone has different passions in life. Some people spend all of their waking hours at this site. Others, such as myself, have other responsibilities, and therefore go MIA from time to time. I think the scorekeeper should just put them into a market index ETF by default. Kind of a QUASI MIA pick for those who forget or are unable to play for whatever reason.

Spike the 10% is nice, but Ski that 30% is even better.
