Hot Pick Of The Day

[New-born baby]

Not long

NB, stalking VPHM for a possible DT. I caught it Friday and will see if I can play it tomorrow. I’m not opening any swings for now until I get a clear pic of direction.

Not optimistic of the direction right now. The high oil price is going to make the correction pretty violent this week, I think.

New-Born,
Is this latest wave of future increases in natl. gas and heating oil going to make some cans more attractive?

Too overpriced to touch

New-Born,
Is this latest wave of future increases in natl. gas and heating oil going to make some cans more attractive?

billyjoe

BillyJoe,
The Cans are so overpriced, that if you don't own them already, you'd best not touch them until we have a severe pullback. PMT.un, which usually trades for $16, is $20.65. And the exchange rate, usually .79 or.80, had been .8350.

BUT: my view is buy all these you can at the next severe pullback--if there is such a thing.

Vector Vest gives it a buy , but of course its fundamentals are poor.....although the stock's Growth Rate is good. Spike what is your take on this one......or is anyone familiar with this one?

Market Indicators say "down"

Here's the latest that I have on the market direction:

Click on the chart, then click again to enlarge.
What does the Trend of Advancing Issues tell you about the Stock Market?

The trend of Advancing Issues is an important key for any investor ... Here's why:

Think about what is occurring when "more and more stocks keep advancing to new highs".

When it happens, it is telling us that investors are continuing to chase stocks ... even as they keep rising higher. This kind of investor behavior propels the market higher until "reluctance and fear sets in" as investors start to feel that price levels are getting too high.

So, when Advancing Issues stop rising and start declining, that is the sign that investors are pulling
in their reins and are stopping their "stock chasing behavior". If fewer and fewer investors keep chase rising stocks, then a rally in the stock market will slow down ... and then the balance of power will shift from Buyers to Sellers.

With that understanding, let us now look at our Advancing Issues Trend Model to see what it is currently
saying about investor behavior.

On the very top of the chart, are Red and Green trend lines for Advancing Issues. When the Red line
drops below the Green line, then Advancing Issues start to trend down ... and along with it, the market
drops lower. As you can see at label 6, Advancing Issues are now trending down.

The Black trend line just below that is our Advancing Issues Time Trended Indicator. This serves as a
useful confirmation tool about the directional change of Advancing Issues. Currently, it is moving down
and just broke below a support line.

When you look at the price of the S&P 500 right below it, it has still managed to stay ABOVE its
support line. This creates a situation where it will be very difficult for the S&P to hold this support
unless Advancing Issues start to rise again.

Today, I would like to ask you for a special favor. If you enjoy our daily stock market updates,
would you help us and tell some of your friends and co-workers about it? I would truly appreciate it.
To make it easy, there is a "send this page to a friend link" just below this chart. It is done with
complete privacy as we don't know who you send it to. Many Thanks ... Marty Chenard.

Wow can this baby move!

I generally run from stock tips , but I met a guy who is a stockbroker and heavily invested in (BCON) Beacon power inc . Vector Vest gives it a buy , but of course its fundamentals are poor.....although the stock's Growth Rate is good. Spike what is your take on this one......or is anyone familiar with this one?
The chart right now looks good but who knows?

BCON was $3.58 on 8/19/05 and closed on 8/24/05 at $4.74 a stellar 32% increase in 2 business days ...........what is going on ? The volume has increased from 7M to 37M .....obviously there is some interest in this one........any comments?

[New-born baby]

It is not yours to question why . . . .

BCON was $3.58 on 8/19/05 and closed on 8/24/05 at $4.74 a stellar 32% increase in 2 business days ...........what is going on ? The volume has increased from 7M to 37M .....obviously there is some interest in this one........any comments?

Pete--
The only question to ask is this: is it up volume, or down volume? If it is up volume, then you have INSTITUTIONAL buying. Some smart money guy with billions of $$ thinks BCON is a double or ten-bagger. So he's buying mega shares.

If it is red volume, that means the rats are jumping overboard, and the ship is in peril.

So if I were you, I'd be buying right now, and in a few days, the reason for the buying will become apparent. Weak acting stocks will be the same, except you ought to be selling.

Insiders make the first moves in this business; the best investors simply follow their tracks.

I just bought some--thanks to your post.
