Geez...I never heard of the "Famous" Robb...But I'm looking forward to hearing from him.

BTW...Ernie...Is getting banned from boards a hobby of yours???

Is that anything like Famous Amos cookies? I'll take a dozen to go, please!

No problem...They are in the oven now...I'll hop a plane to St. Louis this afternoon...They are much better when they are still warm...That'll be only $2.00 for the cookies and $2,500.00 for Express Delivery.

[DSteckler]

If I meet you halfway, will you cut the delivery charge to $1,250.00?

Doug,
I almost forgot to reply to your post on the Chimeria I spoke about New Years Eve. I'm not sure I spelled it correctly but the object that I am talking about is a heavy baked clay object that is used to burn firewood in. It usually sits on short legs to keep it up an off the surface of your deck or wherever you place it. It looks like a big gourd with the bottom of the gourd at the base and the narrower neck at the top. It is hollowed out and the bottom usually has two rectangular openings in the sides to look into the burning wood. The smoke and flames go up through the hollowed out neck an open top. It's basic premise an use is to start a fire in it and sit around it watching the fire while you knock off a few bottles of wine hoping to stimulate some sort of hallucinatory state of mind while not falling into it or the fire. Of course anything else you imbibe in while drinking the wine or any other liquid containing alcohol is up to your own tastes. Anyway it provides a neat atmosphere to sit around with a group of friends while contemplating the meaning of life which I try to do as often as possible.

BTW, with all these famous and fabulous people coming over to this forum I would rather choose to be known as the infamous Skiracer along with Doug of course since he picked it first. We all can't be famous.

Jiesen,
I knew someone would come through for me. Thank you Jiesen. My mind is slipping. Could it be the wine or Lyehopper's Apple Brandy? Or perhaps some combination of both. The brandy is almost gone now so shortly I should be returning to normal. I'm lucky I didn't say chimpanzes.

I think I had figured that out...BTW...If you want to be "Infamous"...You have to put forth some effort to be so...There is an art to giving people a hard time...yet not making them "Hate Your Guts" It is not easy...LOL

I beg to disagree...My philosphy is like the GIRL Scouts..."BE PREPARED"...No matter what they say...Have an answer...Personally...Being prepared is probably my best asset...I NEVER want to be caught off guard.

Here's a little tip that my Father taught me..."Say it with AUTHORITY"...people will believe you...Because 99% of them don't know any better anyway...IIC

Doug,
I promise to try and work harder at it. BTW are you also banned from the IBD boards? I'll never accompolish that feat since I'll never ever renew my subscription again in this lifetime. What was that word that you put up in that post and what did it mean again. Something about hallucinations.

I remember the post...But I forget the word...And I'm too lazy to search for it.

Am I banned???...Why would I be banned???...I've only been banned from one forum in my whole life...But I got reinstated after 7 mos...Guess which one???...Why would anyone want to ban me???...I only offer my opinions...Doesn't bother me any if anyone disagrees with 'em...In fact, I learn more from people that disagree with me than I do from people that say..."You are right IIC"

PS:...I am sort of on a "Read Only" basis at IBD though...We made a deal...Unless they break their end of the bargain...Then I won't either...Since we made it in 8/04 they have not...So I'll keep my end up too...IIC

Well...Robb's New thread seems to be pretty popular...So where the heck is Robb???

LOL, this thread is already 2 pages long but the Famous Robb has not yet posted anything... Don't you guys have anything better to do than to post about nothing??
hehe :P

[billyjoe]

dmk,
Maybe Mr. Market is testing us. Is there really a "Robb"? Or maybe Robb is the type that waits until the last possible moment to make a memorable entrance. Or maybe we don't have anything better to do than talk to ourselves and Robb has decided that we are not worthy of his talents.

Yeah...I know you were...You were the one who responded to one of my posts at Yahoo when I asked if anyone wanted to meet me at the Trader's Expo...You responded that you would be in Vegas at the time but that you didn't want to meet me...Well, that's not an exact quote...But that's the way I took it :( ...LOL

Anyway, maybe you wouldn't learn much of anything from me...But I'm a fun guy to hang out with...In fact, you might have enjoyed seeing me in action at the IBD booth...I bet you wouldn't have elbowed me in the side and said "Be Nice" like my wife did...Doug(IIC)

How about you start a thread called "Dave Defeats The Dealer"...You could gives us some gambling tips.

For several years back around 1990 I used to count the cards in Blackjack...One yr went 10 times to some gambling spots (Bahamas, Vegas, Laughlin, Reno)...I actually did pretty well overall...But I never did it with big bux. Unfortunately, I don't have one of those computer brains and I did not really enjoy it that much.

I also have this CANSLIM handicapping system I use based on odds etc...It does pretty good in the long run...But there are not many races that qualify to even bet on...Doug

[Robbb24]

Hey Guys....Thanks for the welcome and thanks to Ernie for setting up this thread as its much appreciated. Our EI Board lost its focus the past many months so some of the better traders will be moving over here.

For those who are interested and may not be aware I keep a public page over at Stockcharts. Here is a link.

http://stockcharts.com/def/servlet/Favorites.CServlet?obj=ID897936

Long setups begin on Page 11....the majority of my work is based on technicals. Will post some key setups to watch in the days ahead as time allows.

Thanks also to Dave Steckler for the invite over here.

Here are a few individual setups that are worth keeping an eye on in the week ahead.

"EI" is the "Experienced Investor" forum on AOL. Unfortunately, there are some posters there with emotional problems that have ruined the board.

Robb,
Some of us here have emotional problems to varying degrees. We try not to let it interfere to much with our interacting amongst ourselves. Sometimes it does but we always seem to apologize and let it pass that's why we have survived as a decent group for so long. So welcome to the forum. I know this is short notice but you'll see that we have a game called the portfolio of the week contest where we all throw one of our setups into it each week and Lyehopper, perhaps one of our most dysfunctional but richest, keeps a running score daily and weekly of the performance. It's just a game but it's somewhat of a challenge to see who does the best each week and who can keep his picks in the green with the highest % over the long term. You and Dave are welcome to join in. I, for one, would like to see how you guys stack up against us. No big deal one way or another. You can find the rules in the Portolio of the Week thread.

When I first got into the internet...late '97...although I fooled around with it from about '94...I participated in some AOL stock chat...Within hours I was getting porno spam...after a few days I deleted that screen name...Never went back to any stock stuff at AOL even though I still have it and I'm fairly certain they corrected that email harvesting problem.

Anyway...I have seen your pages at Stockcharts Rob...Good stuff.

Obviously, here at Ernie's there are a number of us who like to have a little fun...but between the jokes there are some good ideas presented. I've been investing since I bot my first stock in Jr. High circa 1967...Seriously, since 1983...The day it stops being fun for me is the day I go to cash and do something else.

Welcome aboard Rob...It is nice to see you over here. Best, Doug(IIC)

thanks for the invite to your board Robb, i plan on posting regularly re: picks and market direction, looking forward to leaving the ET board,what a shame that its gone downhill.In the meantime i'm watching my beloved Bengals get whomped by the steelers, maybe they should have had some of ernie's finest meats and cheeses last night for a pick-me-up?

Robb,
I checked your charts over at Stockcharts. I see that you have earned the sunglasses as a Hall of Fame author. That alone is impressive. Could you give us a brief description of your strategys regarding your style and what you look for in setups. How you usually place your stops. I see alot of your charts show symetrical triangles an a few ascending triangles. Is that one of the principal formations that you look for in a setup. What is your normal holding time frame for a position an are you a full time trader? I asked Dave this question earlier. Have you heard of a guy named Deron Wagner?

[IIC]

Oh yea...the remnants of the old Shark Tank.

OK...so I am exposed...the only forum that I ever got banned at was the Swamp...But after 7 months I was invited back if I behaved myself...I did...I re-joined but never posted again.

Slutsky...Is that a REAL name??? I don't think so...DePorre...Sounds like a stage name to me too...Anyway...Anyone who would pay $4800 a year to watch these guys trade is an idiot in my opinion. They are pretty good...But they are "Johnny Come Lately's" ...And so is Canslim.net...remember KG?...Who called it a week prior???

Personally, I don't think I am arrogant as some would suggest...And I'm not much of a Canslimmer anymore anyway...But anyone who is can easily find these type before these guys do IMO...And it won't cost you almost 5 grand either...Doug(IIC)

Hi Doug

Looking forward to exchanging ideas and having a few laughs along the way. We had a good group of traders over at the old EI Board but unfortunately the forum deteriorated rapidly due to a couple of wayward souls. We were quite tolerant there but things got to be somewhat extreme. Anyway looking forward to posting here in the future.

Thanks for the welcome and best in your trades.

Scott welcome....great to have you aboard as I've always enjoyed your market commentary and balanced approach.

That was sad to see Carson Palmer go down with the ACL tear early in the game...otherwise I think the Bengals would have given Pittsburgh a run this year.

o.k. fella's.Here's my thoughts for this week. overboughtbut clear breakout in the naz, i won't get to concerned with the dow as long as we hold around 10875. Based on what i see the naz looks to lead the rally, p and f chart breakout has a target of 2525 in the naz. Bottom line is 2275 prior high should act as support i see some decent chart breakouts and setups on pullbacks incl. AAPL, QCOM,BRCM,YHOO.A couple of brazilian regoinal bank plays i like as well are BBD,UBB. Ilike oil plays such as NBR and VLO, but experinced has showni'm best served playing those when they are stochastic oversold as price of oil makes these babies so volitile.Dave S's BOOM play looks good, however i'm expecting the upside to begin struggling soon in the dow once we hit s and p 10290-95 area,then i'll possibly lean short but more than likely the pullback will be shallow , with a bradley turn date of jan 16th as the next possible top.

Hi Skiracer...

You ask some very good questions. First off I am a swing trader and trade by the philosophy that out of the tightest patterns come some of the best directional moves both market wise and in individual stock plays. I run stock scans weekly by first studying about 100 sector charts and then picking out the best 3-5 sectors technically and then studying the individual charts in those groups for the best patterns technically.

Triangle patterns tend to be one of my favorite patterns to trade. The best triangles will form what I'd term a signature "bullish handle" within the pattern. This bullish handle is defined by the individual play trading laterally or back and forth between its 50 day on the bottom and the upper trendline on the topside. I've posted a few examples below. I personally seek to position in the lower portion of the handle just above the 50 day and then hold the play for a move up and out. My stop is usually not too far below the 50 day which creates a very nice tight risk/reward entry. Obviously it helps to have the general market winds in your favor. I have posted a few examples below of triangle patterns that formed bullish handle's before making the breakout move.

http://trimurl.com/3W6

http://trimurl.com/3W7

http://trimurl.com/3W8

I tend to hold most positions anywhere from a few days to couple of months depending on volume trends, key indicators such as macd/rsi divergences, general market conditions, etc.

I trade mostly full time but also do some consulting work for a market timing service.

I'm not familiar with Deron Wagner.

Best in your Trading....Rob

Just think...I sorta, kinda knew Dave over at Yahoo...And now that he and I are Buds...Well, St Louis isn't on my list of the TOP MILLION places I want to go...But a seminar???..I might JET out....Be prepared for some tough Q's Dave...But I assume you could handle 'em.

BTW...Since you are such a HIGH ROLLER Dave...Can you get me into THE MANSION at the MGM???...That is my wife's dream...And her B-Day is tommorow...And I feel bad that I only got her these Diamond Earring things...Although I will tell 'ya...The Woman that helped me was even better lookin' that the MasterTrading Lady...Doug

Robb,
Thanks for the brief synopsis on yourself and discipline. I appreciate your taking the time to provide that for me an anyone else who might be reading your post. It's good to be able to ask someone new here to talk alittle about themselves and get a positive response. You'll find that we have a great little community here that shares and looks out for one another yet are able to express their differing disciplines and strategys while accepting that others do approach the same goals in varying ways. It's going to be great to see some new faces and styles expressing their views on trading. Hopefully we'll all be able to let ourselves absorb these ideas from one another as we interact and get to know you new guys. There are alot of bright people here with good ideas on how to trade from the fundamental and technical side of all of this. If we can all keep our minds open and the dialogue flowing freely this is going to be a profitable experience for all of us. Personally I'm looking forward to learning and profiting from what you guys have to offer. I hope that you guys are of the same frame of mind as we all get to know one another better. But please be prepared to, not so much as to defend, but to present a strong basis for your picks and setups as there will be others here that will be questioning the reasoning behind what you might have to say. Thanks again for taking the time to answer my grilling. Deron Wagner is a guy I know who runs a sizeable hedge fund and a subscription trading service. Strictly technical based short term swing trading with ETF's and stocks. A very bright guy. Thought maybe one of you guys may have heard of him or knew him. Great to have you guys on board. Ed

Welcome to Robb, Scott and Paul. Really like the charts Robb, and lookin' forward to seeing any good r/r setups all you guys see, as well as market bias and reasonings. I'm really glad you guys showed up; a) the more TA eyes the better, and b) I need a vacation from posting so much, so I might post less and read more :)

I'm sure your threads will be well-read and wish yall a pleasant time at this forum and a profitable 2006. Oh, and throw a pick in Port of the Week etc.

I am new to the trading world and love to have all you "pro's" here so I can learn. I really cant help anyone out but I do read everything here to help me learn. I gave up looking up all the stock but do try to understand ones discipline. In process of creating my own. I will try not to ask silly question but at times its a must.

SO a big WELCOME!

[Trevormore]

Looking for MNTA to take out its downtrend line this week. A break above 24.50 - 24.75 should propel it 3 - 4 points imo. Realize this is a biotech and anything could happen, but from everything I've read about this company they have a pretty nice inventory of drugs they should be bringing to market over the next couple of years. Forget that though....I am playing this for a trade as it breaks out.

[jeffsaxx]

Sold all my AAPL calls this morning and rolled the profits into CELG Jan 70 calls ---- only holding CELG and ELN jan calls now --- and lovin' it

[DSteckler]

Trevor, Jeff...more of the good traders/posters from AOL's ET/EI board. Good to see you guys here!

[jeffsaxx]

Thanks Dave --- take a look at the CELG news this morning on positive phase III results for thalomid ---- CELG looks to own the matket for multiple myeloma now --- at very high and profitable drug pricing ---- just a monster yowzer yowzer

[Trevormore]

Hey Steckler.....glad to see you over here too....

Bought VCLK on Friday......expect a bigger breakout at this point, but have to agree with Robb here that it could retrace some of Fridays gap before moving forward......

[Trevormore]

Anybody here trade commodities? Anybody think that Gold might put in a double top at this point? Am seriously considering shorting the February or April contract above 540.....

It's quite a gable IMO. You know the double top needs confirmation 1st.

[Robbb24]

Welcome guys....some nice bases continue to take shape here.

Some nice base breakouts here include FLML ASF MRVL CMI SWFT WERN.

Financials such as BEN/LEH/GS look like they are starting to setup here...if the Dow is to take out the 11k area the financials will start to pop.

All setups can be viewed here...

COH looks like its trying to make a run at the 50 day here out of a long base.

PVH setting up nicely here as well in a long base...

[Robbb24]

BRCM nearing some major resistance in the 53.35 area...if this area breaks there is very little price resistance until $72ish.

That it is, Dmk. Still watching and waiting.....still surprised that gold has been so strong.....must be telling me something....and at the end of the day it can't be good.

Not quite used to the format yet, wasn't sure I was looking in the right place after the flurry of posts, then nothing.

Nat. Gas prices off 40% over the past month...this was not suppose to happen, remember? The $xng has not gotten off track whatsoever and continues its steady climb. I have to admit that something looks wierd here...on one hand I'd like to be buying swn, chk, eca for the next pop in gas prices, but on the other hand I don't want to be blind-sided when/if the gas stocks come back to earth.

No Billy but maybe I could Upgrade to one.

[Trevormore]

Rob posted this one a little while back...looks like it wants to rally late this afternoon.....breakout pt was about 59.45......now 59.80 after sittin around for much of the day..... a close over 60 would make this chart look really schweet.

[DSteckler]

I picked some TECH up this morning, Trevor. It looked good on the 30-minute chart, holding the 20-bar EMA as support since 1/6.

[SGriff]

Sorry folks have'nt posted much, busy with work. As far as the market goes imho the line in the sand for the dow is 10950 ,if we break thatarea would could be in for more selling taking us down to prior support of 10700. If hold 10950 then we could head back up. Market looks pretty overbought, other than intra day scalps i don't see alot of setups for the long side. If the retail numbers come in good, i noticed URBN and BBY held up fairly well and have fairly bullish charts. I also noticed CAT finished up on a down day and may be worth watching. RRGB got pummelled earlier in the week and could be a daytrader with support now at 36.Other than that i'm watching the bounderies and as a reminder we have a bradley turn date on the 16th so early next week we could bounce if the selling continues tommorrow.

[Robbb24]

Hi Scott...big breakout moves in HYDL and AZO today...one by one these are popping out of their bases.....TECH did a backtest of its pivot in the 59 area. Key supports I'm watching on this pullback price wise are 2280ish on the Nasdaq and 1270-5 on the SP 500. I agree on CAT in that it looks headed to its pattern projection of 70ish. Once the market bottoms out I think GRMN which could test its 50 day will make the move.

Hey robb-good to here from you. Yes, i like that 2280 area for support ,prior resistance in the naz. Even though BRCM sold off a fair amount today,the MACD trend suggests it could bounce some off a morning low tommorrow,same with AAPL, i like HYDL and will watch that one. scott

Hello Ray

Here is a solution for you....and any others who cant view those charts. I'll post the symbols beside the links and then you can locate those off my setup list at this link. Setups are alphabetized so they shouldn't be difficult to find. Sorry you are having trouble with those links but when I post a regular Stockchart link here it doesn't take with annotations for whatever reason.

Very nice setup early afternoon on the 15 minute charts on most indices as we formed bullish falliing wedges and broke out just at the close. We should start to form some triangle/continuation pattens on our 60 minute charts/bull flags on the daily charts in the days ahead before making the next move higher.

http://trimurl.com/400 15 Minute Comp Chart

http://trimurl.com/401 15 Minute NDX Chart

Leading stocks like MRVL provided a nice entry based on some bullish divergence on the 15 minute chart on a test of the top of its gap.

Lots of bullish hollow red candles tonight nearly across the board suggests the balance of power is still with the bulls here. AMD and LRCX knocked the cover off their respective reports making INTC a company specific event. AMD is taking share from them rapidly. Wouldnt be surprised to see a move higher tomorrow and then one more test before we head up and out. That would serve to setup the 60 minute charts best but of course we don't always get what we want do we???

[IIC]

Markets OK...We needed this...In fact I wish it would have been a lot worse...personally, I'd like to see sub 2100...Then a fairly steady(orderly) move up to 2630ish...But you are right..."We don't always get what we want"...Doug

<sigh> so much for the hoopla of the bull market and dow 12k, imho we're in for another tough year trading between 10100 and 11100 in the dow, i have a near term target with a short term botton at 2180 in the nasdaq,probably 10400 in the dow, that would coincide with a date on plus or minus a day -jan 30th. With all the negitivity between dissapointing earnings,iran ,high oil and now bid laden threat looks like dow 11k is history for now.

You're making it sound like it's a problem with the rest of our posts interfering with you guys communicating with one another or getting to one another's posts quickly because of all the other people here on OUR forum. Why don't you guys just hook up with an IM system or email each other and you won't have to bother with any of us interfering with your communication between one another. I can see why there might have been a problem at another site with people getting an attitude if it were put to them in this type of fashion. There's been alot of new people come over to this forum in the past 6 months to a year and they have easily interacted and meshed in with the rest of us without any type of friction or problems. You can ask anyone here how comfortable it has been for them as newcomers to become acclimated to what's going on here and to become part of the group. What you want and what you get is sometimes the difference between deciding if this is the place that suits your needs the way you want things to be. It doesn't sound as if you want things to be equitable an operate on an even playing field so maybe you should evaluate and consider other variables or alternatives which might be more suitable to your needs. You really can't expect to alter the way things are here just to satisfy your desires or special needs. I believe you can put anyone's posts you don't want to see or read on ignore. I'm not exactly sure how that works but maybe you should look into that as an alternative.

I've really eaten dog meat and with alittle sauce it tastes like chicken. Hard to get by it at first when you really know it's dog. But when it's been raining for 3 weeks and all you've had is something out of a can you'll get by it.

If I raised dogs for meat..... I think I'd have to raise French Bulldogs. My wife has a French Bulldog named PoGo and pound-for pound there's alot of meat on that little dudes carcass.... and very little fat. They're small, easy to skin and mature rather quickly.... Hmmmm.... plus they make great pets!!!! I see a market here.

Market study: If I develop me a select herd of (meat producing) French Bulldogs.... Who want's to order the first steaks?

I don't mean to ruffle feathers. I was just thinking out loud as I was asked to start just one thread and stick to it....And, once I figured out how, that's what I did. It's just takes some getting use to as it's different from the EI board....There, every topic has its own post so you can easily skip over anything. And over there, there was plenty to skip over. I think you'll find my posts to be nearly 100% market related as they've been for 10 years. The one thing about posting, or the lost art of writing letters for that matter, is you can't be sure of your readers response. The nuances and voice inflections which help convey the message are missing so try not to jump to conclusions over my questions or concerns about this site. I believe the more eyes on the market the better and that's why I am reading and writing here.

For the first three years as an AOL member, I spent most of my time in the investor chat rooms....That sound ridiculous to even admit at this point....However, in the early days, the investor chat rooms seemed beneficial maybe I was drunk at the time....I posted mostly on specific stock boards like Intel or AOL. After repeating the line about how the AOL/TWX merger was the greatest transfer of wealth and the poorest merger of all time on the AOL board, I came fairly close to being banned myself. I've never posted under any name other than JSmith7070 and don't know how....

Jim...Let me tell you...I can tell you are a serious investor...And I personally think that is great...I am too...But at this Forum there is a lot of joking around and personal interaction.

Granted...That sort of stuff is better left to A/H...But I will admit...I've been guilty during market hours between trades...You just need to sift thru a lot of info to see who may have some info that you may find beneficial. JMHO...IIC

Karel,
I have some Dutch folk in my church. They go around saying "If you're not Dutch, you're not much!" They are good people, hardworking, and very, very skillful in what they do. They are research biologists for hogs/cattle. They produce vaccines and dietary supplements to increase production. They have a herd of 1500 head that AVERAGES 105 lbs. of milk per cow per day--over the entire year! (In case you are not a dairyman), that's excellent!

Did Ernie speak to you about the two week trial and then the monthly association fees after that. You can buy the, "get 12 months for the price of 10 months", if you pay the yearly fees upfront initially or through direct debit from your checking account. Then there are the personality scrutinization interogatories that apply only after the successful completion of the two week trial period. That also can be waived through the implementation of the one time charge for scrutinization absolution allowances. Other than that welcome aboard. Our host supervisor this month is Lyehopper. Caustic personality but a real nice guy. Talk to him about the small registration fees for getting into a little weekly contest we run here called the Portfolio of the Week. Anyway hope you like us as much as we will like you. Does a two year semi cycle have anything to do with Harley Davidson?

Steel pipe maker...oil industry exposure...all the steels are up today except this one....currently down 75 cents at 43.75 as I post.....just entered for a daytrade....would expect it to rebound today

[Jim Smith]

LSS is weighing on the pipe makers with earnings out this morning.

[Trevormore]

I saw that Jim...those earnings were pretty strong in my opinion on LSS....all this stuff should bounce back imo......maintaining the course for now, but obviously I coulda had a better price had I waited

[Trevormore]

The exchanges are all busting out to new highs today....CME, ICE, ISE.....GFIG should follow suit...in at 52.01...target 55 this week

[Trevormore]

Some might see a bull flag on the daily chart...MRVL possibly getting ready to pop to the upside here, although she's already up 2.50 pts.....could be a monster pop. In BRCM from last week based on Robb's post...both of these mentioned in Barrons this week as the place to be in '06.

[Trevormore]

If this mkt really wants to rally NTES could pop nicely....needs to print over 71...with a little patience I think I can get 10 points out of this one from the 69 level

[Trevormore]

Took a 40 cent profit at 44.15....bigger fish to fry this week in my opinion...will look at this one again if it falls back to 43

[Trevormore]

Comes down to its 50 dma today...went long a few around 14.20...actually hoping it comes back to the 14 even area where I will pick up more....stop at 13.75

[Trevormore]

Thanks for the kind words Doug, Spike, Lye, Karel and anyone else I may have missed. Jim Smith great to see you over here lets nail some nice actionable bases and make some money.

How about those small caps....Russell 2k breakout today to all time highs....Transports look like they should follow suit breaking out of this triangle pattern today. I still like the semis here...nice to see how they are leaving the old guard...INTC/TXN...and moving to the smaller/mid cap issues in the group.

[Robbb24]

The Dow/SP look like they are still in short term downtrends here with possible bearish flags forming on the 60 minute charts...but I think this next push down starts to setup some bullish divergence on the oscillators providing us a nice long side opportunity. Either way am already positioned in some of the better bases in the best sectors.

This base has required patience but I think it works here....

SIRF poised for another spike up in my opinion.....been trading this one for a few weeks....am now just going to hold thru earnings on Feb 1. Did you see TRMB earnings last night? Sheesh....that bodes very well for the GPS industry in my opinion.....looking for the same performance out of SIRF that TRMB is giving this morning

[Trevormore]

Very primed in my opinion......looking for a 5 point up day any day now.....just needs some volume to propel it thru the 70+ level.....the Asian nets might get some juice off of REDF this morning

[Trevormore]

Mentioned yesterday.....bounced off its 50 day...looking swell this morning

[Jim Smith]

NTES is just under the 100 day moving average.....this has capped the stock for a few days making this level important, imo....definitely worth watching

[Trevormore]

Thanks JIm...this will be the last time I will mention NTES until I sell...currently flirting with a breakout at 71.40....target 80

[Trevormore]

Alert....if you hold BRCM it reports after the close tomorrow 1/26.....I will be keeping my shares and praying they don't miss

[Robbb24]

Trevor excellent earnings today/tonight in the semiconductor group....NVLS, MXIM, LSI, ALTR, etc. Tomorrow night two biggies KLAC and BRCM should set the tone for a while going forward. QCOM was out tonight with a so so report but I expect it will firm up nicely. Keep an eye on CAT in the morning which also reports.

As an update I sold my entire BRCM position this evening between 70.05 and 72.50....been a long while since I've had a gain of this magnitude this quickly. In any event I hope I'm not done playing BRCM...my strategy will be to repurchase BRCM in the 67 area...maybe tomorrow morning premkt should it so oblige me. And if not...then I will be increasing my position considerably in NTES, thinking we get a similar type move in it.

Hi Doug

I trade mostly off the 60 minute charts....and the daily. I do view the 5/15/30 minute charts but focus mostly on the 60 minute charts as I prefer swing trading versus daytrading/scalping. As we saw last night on the 60 minute charts they often give you a heads up of when to enter/exit proactively thanks to divergences in macd/rsi etc.

Robb,
I see that you called SBUX an ascending triangle. Was that a typo on your part? Isn't that more of a symmetrical triangle? It's no big deal to me one way or another but I see that Dave didn't call you on it. I couldn't call it an ascending triangle in the true sense of the definition. Then would you call KDN an ascending triangle also.

[DSteckler]

SBUX is in a descending trend channel; I don't see it as in either an ascending triangle or symmetrical triangle. Robb, what was your reason for using the 11/10 low to construct a triangle?

The attached chart is very interesting.

http://www.ttrader.com/mycharts/display.php?p=38426&u=dave&a=MyCharts&id=690

You can see the descending trend channel but take a gander at the Gann fan. Note how at the 1X3 line, price pretty much held the line as support from the September low until 12/8, when it fell through big-time. It attempted to get back above this line on 12/15 but failed, in line with the TA maxim that support once broken frequently acts as resistance when tested.

Now please look at the 1X2 line. The price decline on 12/30 halted and SBUX rebounded sharply on 1/3. It pulled back from the 1/5 high and bounced upward along the 1X2 fan line from 1/11 - 1/17, fell below it on 1/18, then last Friday (1/20) made a huge move lower. Here again, support once broken acted as resistance when tested.

If the current downtrend is still in play, SBUX should run up and stall somewhere between the descending trend channel resistance line and the 1X2 fan line. It should then fall back down and approach the channel support line. If the 1X2 line is taken out on the upside on a closing basis, particluarly on good volume, that would indicate that the trend is changing. SBUX did close yesterday back above its 20-day EMA and that's a pretty good sign that sentiment may have shifted back to the upside.

[Trevormore]

Curious if anyone knows anything about this company...rev's and eps look fine...small float...and stock sellf off today...wonder why. Not in it...but am thinking about it especially on this 3.5 pt fall...hmmm

[DSteckler]

SBUX broke through the resistance line of the descending trend channel. Nice pick-up, Rob.

They announced earnings today. Somebody must have been disappointed.
Fell right to support, too. Might be a good place to enter . . . be aware that today's fall makes an island reversal, and that chart formation is about 90% accurate. Makes me quite leary of this one.

[spikefader]

Robb,
I see that you called SBUX an ascending triangle. Was that a typo on your part? Isn't that more of a symmetrical triangle? Is he talking about the 3-year weekly for the ascending?

[Trevormore]

For those that missed the run up in SIRF from 29 to 33....look at the 5 min chart...very nice looking bull flag in my opinion....might be able to ride it up another point and a half on the breakout above 33.75...right now its 33.60

[skiracer]

Is he talking about the 3-year weekly for the ascending?

Dave and Ski...My bad on the description...it should have been termed symmetrical triangle based on the draw. Dave I'll take your descending channel over mine <g> I redrew that SBUX pattern a couple of times as it was forming. I think one thing we can all agree on is that the descending upper trendline was significant and it cleared today. I think it heads higher from here if the market allows.

[Jim Smith]

Regarding GE, I expect it to rise somewhat as the S&P makes a move to 1315 into mid Feb.....But not much of a move....That dividend is providing support but if folks feel the ecnomy is about to slow, a behemoth like GE can't move much, imo.

Ge has a lot of unhappy customers and the company doesn't
like to bother with those issues. Their QC has been slipping badly
over the last few years. The marketing rule "for every unhappy
customer you need 10 happy ones" applies here. Maybe stock
holders w/ GE appliances are dumping their stock. :) IMHO
