    You're right about that! CMT is one parabola I wish I'd got in on

      MCZ may have a fantastic earnings report, but there is no way to know, unless you're the CEO.

      Although it's tempting to buy the dip, I'll still wait for earnings.

        Nice day for ERS. On June 1 it came close to a channel long at its 6.99 low. Just like me to miss that, but at least it was a bullish confirmation if nothing else. My average purchase is 7.57. Hardly celebrating yet.


        Webs, watch SIRI. Nice chart, volume dry up. Maybe nice entry soon. DHB can't get through its 50.
        A pullback on ERS might be the opportunity I'm looking for.

        I've noticed the lack of interest in SIRI. I'm looking for a drop back under $5.50 before I get back in.

          I was in with +17% two days ago but got off too soon. I was expecting a pullback which is about to happen for this stock... but it didn't happen

            Webs, I heard some insiders have been selling ahead of earnings. Maybe nothing, maybe DHB all over again... You're wise to wait.

              Time to play look on the bright side of life:

              I had placed a limit buy for ERS (replacing the half I sold at 9.30) at 8.30, but decided to split into two half orders (one gap fill at 8.73, the other at 8.30). Well, I'll be damned if it didn't only get down to 8.35, but at least I have the other portion working for me.

              May make a run down there again.

                Awwwww crap (sort of)... back to 9.

                I think the market does this to me on purpose (sending a stock to within a nickel or less of my order)

                  I see what happened... The channel long moved up to 8.35 at the open. At least bullish behavior if I missed an add...

                    Updating things... screwed up last week. SSNC gave me one buy sign, but a sell sign at the same time. Ate a slight loss Monday, but it's a good one that I'll wait a little bit for. Looks like it will consolidate for a week or two.

                    Added a nibble to ERS yesterday at 9.45 during its runup. Sold half of my holdings today at 10.11. Right at the upper portion of its channel, but it could pull another CMT, hence my holding half. Otherwise may add again on a drop to the low 9's

                      ERS is another CMT already. It doesn't have any sellers left after overcoming the $11.00 resistance (some 50+ green buy streak without any sale on the ERS T&S). It's long upper channel is in 20's

                        I'll be happy to see it go that far, Mood

                        ERS is down to my only holding. Sold FICC for a small gain. Haven't been thrilled with the chart since I bought. Nothing but crosses and black sticks. That kind of look is what preceeded DXYN's plunge.

                          I closed ERS on this morning's reversal (10.70). I'll buy back at a lower price, hopefully in the 9's. It's bound to come back sooner or later. I'll feel stupid if it doesn't

                          Bought EZEN at about 2.30. BB stocks normally give me a lot of pause, but this one has a rapidly expanding revenue and earnings clip.

                            Profit on ERS: 36% (b 7.62, s 10.40). Makes up for a lot of the investment buffoonery described elsewhere in my thread

                              Congrats on ERS! I think it just closed the gap and reversed back up. A strange buy for $10.5785 at 14:35:24. Somene just broke the gap. I wonder why?

                                Ezen

                                I bought EZEN in Mar at $ 1.48,$1.75 and $1.95 then sold all on 5/10/05 at $2.57. Have been hoping for more of a pull back to jump back on.... Just my 2 cents as I found it interesting that you are buying this. How did you find it ?
