    I would be cautious of the daily chart right now as my tone has shifted and currently I’m bullish on it down to today’s LOD.

    Best trading!!
    Got my "Eagle Eye" on it Runner.... Thanks for the opinion. I've actually daytraded it some today.... but I'm still holding a nice (longer term) short position.... I'll post on it this evening.
    BEEF!... it's whats for dinner!

      VPHM short play....

      Well that thing DID NOT act "exactly" right now did it fellas?

      I covered onto the rally (off the bottom) this morning and nailed down a pretty good profit. Then when she filled that upper gap I shorted again (right near the top). Then I farted around with it making several daytrades and basically breaking even on them. Then at about 3:30pm I decided.... "this stupid thing is just acting too strong".... and I covered ALL my shares..... So I'm out of VPHM completely..... Not the SUPER GREAT play I wanted it to be.... but I made about 6% anyway, so I can't complain.

      NOW.... watch that stupid thing crash 15% tomorrow morning while I just watch it.... and choke on my scalding hot coffee.lol

          Man what a strong stock that VPHM is.... Can't beleive I was actually short on it just yesterday! THANK GOODNESS I COVERED THAT PLAY!!!! Whewwww!

          Hey Fellas! how-bout some short prospects here! Two days to cover will work fine! I'd like to see some 5% two-three day short plays being posted here! what's wrong with you cats?.... Get off your butts and post us some shorts....HEHEHEHEHE!!!!!

          Here's mine.... I just sold OSUR today and took a nice two day gain of 8.3% (Thanks DOUG!).... How about OSUR.... SHORT at the open tomorrow for a 5% gain target (cover by Friday)? Got a couple of gaps below to shoot for now too.... Plus if it fills that 12.38 gap I'm loading up the truck long on that sucker!

          • Lye, the Health services sector does look better then VPHM’s on the short side. It cleared September highs and fell back in. Currently the sector is trying to find support. Now as for OSUR you got a fireball here. Huge volatility on this stock and so the moves will be possibly violent. Caution is needed if it turns sideways here and does not stumble tomorrow. I’m sure the first 30 min. will be interesting on this one!!

            NMTI has been tight and in lead position in that group now. CMED was one on my list and it fell down hard today. Best with OSUR!!

              I think JOE would make a good short at this point.

                JOE is definitely under performing the group. Nice down trend for a while and has recently found a little interest. I don’t see a short set up on it yet, but one to keep an eye on

                  If you has shorted OSUR this morning at the open like my above post said.... You'd be up 3.5% right now. Hmmmm..... I might be figuring this short thing out after all.

                    CKCM is a short candidate...although this market is too strong to be on the shortside IMO

                          Just be careful with this one. This came across the Briefing.com newswire Friday AM and PM.

                            ESLR short....

                            I started building a short position in ESLR yesterday morning fellas @ around $12.... the more I study it.... the more I like this short play.

                            Stalk this one and short it into any strength....

                            (1) short interest increasing month over month
                            (2) Low RV = 0.48
                            (3) Negative earnings
                            (4) SHS pattern forming
                            (5) stock overvalued and in general just SUCKS!!!!
                            (6) Nice gap.... Fib retracement and 4x1 Gann fan lines align PERFECTLY at the Gap!

                            BEEF!... it's whats for dinner!

                                Duuuuude. Lye and me have this idea to bring this thread alive again. You won't like it cuz it involves work hahaha but I think it'd be fun havin' a short-off or a poop-shootout. Anyway, if you like the idea, maybe we can encourage others to put a port together (or for lazy Vulcans, just pick 1) of the slime they like and have a race. See who can get a port average of -100% the fastest. No tuff and time consuming rules; just pick 1 dog or pick 50. First one to -100% there gets a free set of Vulcan ears or sumthin. Whaddayasay?
