No trades today...It was a bad start as I accidently deleted my "A" Watchlist...Took me a while to put it back together.
By that time I was busy...so I just watched off/on when I could.
Although I may not appear so...I like to be very organized when I'm trading...That snafu sorta messed me up so I said forget it.
No trades again today...Nothing really looked that great.
I have the IIC 100 for next week and I'll post it tomorrow...However, I've received a few emails recently asking why MTOX is not on my list...
MTOX is not on it again next week...The resaon is that I use more forward looking info than some 100 lists and projections going out 8 quarters don't meet the min. parameters I set up...Doesn't mean it won't go up or that it is not a good co...It just doesn't qualify to make my list.
This ain't gonna be pretty:

Are you getting your money's worth???
Unfortunately, my creditability has been questioned because many people think that anything offered for FREE is worth about as much as you paid for it...Including some people that are very close to me...So, if you feel like sending me anything...Go right ahead...lol
I'd like to urge everyone to check out my USEFUL LINKS page at http://Sharptraders.com
Even if you are not interested in my Cups w/ Handles, Today's MoMo or my IIC 100 stuff...Even if you don't like me...I'm sure you'll find something of interest in the links on my Homepage and/or my Useful Links page...I've posted over 100 links so far and I have a lot more...Obviously, I don't use most of them but when I find one on my own or that somebody posted I save it so I can share it w/ those that might like it.
PLEASE take some time to check them out...I'd be amazed if anyone didn't find at least a few that they like.
I also have a link up to this forum, with Ernie's permission...Hopefully, some of our members came from my mention.
Took my wife to LAX today...She flew to Idaho till next Saturday...Geez, I sure get a lot of vacations...LOL
Many times I see the signs at LAX saying something to the effect that there may be a Checkpoint...First time I ever actually saw a Checkpoint...We were waved thru...Maybe because I had on my BRIGHT ORANGE REALTICK T-SHIRT???

They waved you through? What more proof do we need that Homeland Security has gone completely to pot. You--the very same man that they forbid to fly on an airplane just two years ago! Oh yeah, I remember you give us MM-types the schpill that it was actually your evil-twin brother "Mr. Breakdown", you said. SSSSUUUUUUUUUURRRRRREEEEEE, Doug. SSSSUUUUUUURRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

If you are an IBD'er then I assume you are waiting for the market to tank...Problem is...We don't know when it will happen...But, although I'm not much of a Canslimmer anymore...I can see it will happen again circa late August 1987.
I'm not gonna post proprietary IBD info...But, I will tell you to look at their A/D stats...I strongly recommend that you pay attention if you are long.
IIC Top 5 vs IBD Top 5 YTD:
IIC...+55.58%
IBD...+9.59%
IIC Top 10 vs IBD Top 10 YTD:
IIC...+20.90%
IBD...+12.11%
I read in IBD the other day that the IBD 100 was +29% YTD...If that is true I'm gonna assume that by the time they make the Top 10 that they have already made their move???
However, although I have no stats to back this up... I recommend that CS'ers check out those that appear on both the IIC 100 AND the IBD 100 along with the NEW ADDS on both lists...Best, Doug(IIC)

Have you ever seen IBD explain how they come up with their IBD 100 performance numbers or can slim numbers? I mean an explanation of calculation that could be tracked by anyone other than IBD. I know Hulbert's checks out newsletter performance and says most of them are very creative in determining their success.

I can see it will happen again circa late August 1987.
I remember going white-faced to my husband with the news that the Dow had just dropped over 500 points! Almost unheard of then. He said, "don't worry, it will come back. I'm not doing anything here." Taught me a valuable lesson, even though I was not invested at all then. River
Doug,

----------billyjoe
Don't know Billy.
But I think that people should pay attention to those on both the IIC 100 and IBD 100. I don't post the combo list because I don't feel like hearing from IBD...But for those that have access to the IBD 100 you can easily copy them from their site in .xls...then you can copy my vertical list of the IIC 100. Paste them in an .xls column and sort alpha...You can then easily see the duplicates.
I've never tracked the combo list but I'd say those would be worth checking out...This week there are 20 duplicates.

The IBD 100 list was warping my investing thoughts. Now if I post on a stock that happens to be on their list, it's just a coincidence. We can come up with as good or better prospects than IBD.

I was in cash by the beginning of September 1987...I was starting to doubt myself but I took the advice of those that knew better than I.
The Naz chart doesn't resemble the 1987 chart at this point and maybe it never will...But, if people can put up with +4% eps on the SP 500(yoy % increases have been steadily dropping) and all the economic mess we are in then I don't know what to say...Maybe the foreign growth is keeping us going???
But as somebody said..."The markets can act irrational longer than you can remain solvent". So in the meantime I'm just playing it short term and going w/ the flow.

-------------billyjoe
Well, in IBD's defense, I've never heard them say that you should buy a stock just because it is on the IBD 100...I'd say the IBD 100 is just a list of ideas...just like my IIC 100...There are many times that I'd like to manually delete a stock on my IIC 100...but I don't...it is just the results of a mechanical scan...But I happen to believe that my IIC 100 is more forward looking overall and the results the past year and a half plus have so far proven me right.

I didn't know IBD was waiting for the market to tank? I read the big picture daily and it seems pretty positive. Many others seem like they've been negative for the last few months, but IBD has kept me in the market.
Are you referring to the A/D stats for the indices? I do find it a little curious that the Naz and the IBD100 don't have higher ratings, but I guess that's probably due to lower volume on these recent increases.

IBD has not said so...Yes, I am talking about the overall Accumulation/Distribution which has been on a 7 year downslide...But in particular I'm looking at this latest run since March...The falling accumulation makes this rally suspect IMO
As far as the Big Picture...It seems to me that there are a lot of contradictions if you recall what they say from day to day...As far as I'm concerned they go with the wind...Which is OK for day and swing traders...But I'd think a true canslimmer is at least an Intermediate term investor???

Leading Indicators at 10am EDT
An index intended to show the economy's future direction declined by 0.3% in June to 137.5, according to preliminary estimates by the Conference Board.
The Conference Board, a private research group, said Thursday that its composite index of leading indicators declined in June after a revised 0.2% increase in May.
The June reading for the leading index contrasted with the 0.1% median decrease estimate of 22 economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires.
The index was equal to 100 in 1996.
The Conference Board noted that the biggest negative contributors, in order, included building permits, average weekly initial claims for unemployment insurance, consumer expectations, vendor performance and interest rate spread.
Also, three of the 10 indicators that make up the leading index showed improvement in June. The largest positive contribution came from average weekly manufacturing hours, manufacturers' new orders for nondefense capital goods and stock prices.
The composite index of coincident indicators also increased by 0.2% to 124.2 in June, after a downwardly revised 0.1% increase in May.
The index of lagging indicators increased by 0.5% in June to 129.2 after an upwardly revised 0.3% increase the month before.
The Conference Board is a non-profit research and business membership group that computes the composite indexes from the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Doug, just curious, do you have a post somewhere describing how you determine price targets or stops for your trades? You seem to have something in between a daytrading and swing trading style.
Doug, just curious, do you have a post somewhere describing how you determine price targets or stops for your trades? You seem to have something in between a daytrading and swing trading style.
I have to go out when the market closes...I'll answer tonight or tomorrow
Doug, just curious, do you have a post somewhere describing how you determine price targets or stops for your trades? You seem to have something in between a daytrading and swing trading style.
I see that you joined here in Feb 2007...The beginning of February was when I took a break from trading (except for a few trades thru the end of April).
I took a break for a few reasons...1) I was very busy at work 2) I wanted to study options 3) I made a lot of money in January and traditionally I have not done very well in February.
Anyway, if you had been here before you would have seen that I was mostly a day trader from August 2004...Playing MoMo and News looking for 30 cents a share on many trades.
However, my backround was as a fairly strict Canslimmer from the 70's till early 2000. Did very well overall especially starting when the IBD paper came out in 1984.
But in 2000 I recognized that Canslim was not working very well due to increased volatility...maybe it was just my style that wasn't working. So I started making adjustments until I met my trading partner in 2003.
At that point I started learning some basic technicals and started swing trading a lot (However, I sometimes make a longer term buy).
In April of this year I decided it was time to start getting back in. I was also trying to think of something that I could use to bring more visitors to my site.
I've always liked Cups w/ Handles but I only found them by accident...I figured that quite a few people liked the pattern too but the sites that offer them are rather expensive plus from the trials I subscribed to I found that they offered up some pretty poor patterns for the most part. So I brainstormed and came up with a way to find a lot them on my own....I could actually come up with many more than I do but I've already received a few complaints that I list too many.
I also decided that I would use the CwH's and Patterns of Interest as my own personal watch list and ignore everything else...So far so good as the lists are all I'm trading...It is much easier than tracking news everyday....I will continue unless it stops working at which time I'll adapt accordingly(News plays will always be there)
The Cups w/ Handles can be used by all types of traders/investors...So can The IIC 100...I realize that not many trade like me so in order to make my site more valuable I figure I should offer something for everyone. I don't personally use the IIC 100 myself and I have only used my Today's MoMo list off and on over the years...But some people like them and it only takes a few minutes for me to scan for them.
Back to my current style...Several factors determine how long I hold...If I'm playing the pattern only my time frame will be short...I watch price/volume along with support/resistance and a few technicals...Many times I will sell at the first sign of trouble (which is often a fakeout or natural correction)...If I am familiar with the co. and I like it I may give more leeway... like MR although I've already trimmed for $1.54 at 32.38 ...If I don't like the co. e.g. RPM... I just bail.
It also depends on how much money I invest...which can be quite a wide range...On larger buys(like MR) I will often trim off profits....Sometimes on smaller buys I give more room.
But in general all I try to do with my site is offer up some time saving info so people can use it for their own purposes and styles.
Best, Doug

Remember last year?...The IIC 100 kicked the IBD 100's butt...However, both reached their peak for the year in 2006 at the end of the first week in May. The IIC 100 just went down a lot less than the IBD 100 for the remainder of 2006.
This year we may both have already reached our peak in July???

Text Of Federal Reserve's Interest Rate Decision
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--The following is the text of the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rates released Tuesday, Aug. 7:
The Federal Open Market Committee decided today to keep its target for the federal funds rate at 5-1/4 percent.
Economic growth was moderate during the first half of the year. Financial markets have been volatile in recent weeks, credit conditions have become tighter for some households and businesses, and the housing correction is ongoing. Nevertheless, the economy seems likely to continue to expand at a moderate pace over coming quarters, supported by solid growth in employment and incomes and a robust global economy.
Readings on core inflation have improved modestly in recent months. However, a sustained moderation in inflation pressures has yet to be convincingly demonstrated. Moreover, the high level of resource utilization has the potential to sustain those pressures.
Although the downside risks to growth have increased somewhat, the Committee's predominant policy concern remains the risk that inflation will fail to moderate as expected. Future policy adjustments will depend on the outlook for both inflation and economic growth, as implied by incoming information.
Voting for the FOMC monetary policy action were: Ben S. Bernanke, Chairman; Timothy F. Geithner, Vice Chairman; Thomas M. Hoenig; Donald L. Kohn; Randall S. Kroszner; Frederic S. Mishkin; Michael H. Moskow; William Poole; Eric Rosengren; and Kevin M. Warsh.

My crystal ball says there will be some very bad financial news out within 2-3 weeks...And it will not be pretty...What happened w/ the ECB is only the beginning.
Undoubtedly there will be some up days which will get the masses excited...and subsequently slaughtered...I'd say it is a good time for Longs to take a vacation
Good time to buy some puts on some of the financial companies hey IIC???????

and that is the market is going down alot farther than it is right now and so are the financials...all that garbage money being pumped into the system will just make the markets go down abit slower ...there is alot more trouble ahead..just think the fed pumped all that money in and the S&P 500 is just 6% off of the highs....that is just a little correction...there is alot more crap out there that we dont know yet and probably dont want to know....alot of these financial institutions are in serious trouble!!!...and all the fed did was devalue the US dollar ....which means ...Gold and metals are going alot higher.
Just looked at all the charts in the Naz 100.....Except for a couple, those are some horrible looking charts
“Wednesday marks 45 days before the end of the quarter, the deadline by which most hedge fund investors must notify the funds if they want to redeem their investments.” NYT
As if hedge fund investors do not have enough to worry about, a wave of redemptions could sweep over hedge-land in the next two sessions. Does this mean more funds will announce that since NAVs are incalculable redemptions are halted? If so, market reaction to these announcements may not be favorable.

Now it's hitting the money market funds!
From www.briefing.com: Follow up on Sentinel Management Group halt of redemptions
"As mentioned [earlier], the mkt has sold off after news that a lesser-known fund, Sentinel Management Group, halted redemptions in a money market fund... For people who are wondering who Sentinel Management Group is...according to a bio posted on gtnews.com, Sentinel has a base of over 150clients with assets under management of $1.5 bln (this bio is dated Oct 2006). So with ~$1.5 bln in assets under mgmt (as of 10/2006), the fund may not be a major player. However, the market was spooked because money market accounts are traditionally thought of as one of the "ultimate safe havens", and this is the first firm to announce it was halting redemptions."
And, "...If [the] market gets hit today and Sentinel becomes the headline news event of the evening, people will be at the banks tomorrow morning moving cash around. To a certain degree, this is good for banks b/c will lead individuals to move money from higher yielding accounts into lower yielding accounts, improving the spread for banks. However, don't think this is good for the market -- and the Fed will need to step in again to calm things down."
Ouch! I bailed on quite a bit this morning for a small overall profit, before the big hit. Good thing. Still have some red ones that need paring. River

River,
CNBC this morning said the worst zipcode in the U.S. for foreclosures started with 44. Mine starts with 44 and it's bad around here but apparently worse in the Cleveland area. People don't want to take a chance to flip a property regardless of how inexpensively they can purchase because population is leaving the area in large numbers.

-----------billyjoe
The reason for the foreclosures, IMHO, is that the banks saw an opportunity to lend to an otherwise usually overlooked population in the city at previously favorable rates. They (the banks) reaped the rewards, and the mortgagees could not escape the escalating interest with their variable rates. I know we've had population loss for many years now, but I thought it was mainly because of the (formerly or maybe still) rotten school system, the worst in the whole country. I have to confess I don't read the Plain Dealer (shame on me)! Too depressing and not worth the 50+ cents I would have to spend on it. Flipping in the areas that are affected, again IMHO, wouldn't be able to attract able buyers simply because of...well, the conditions in the areas that are affected. There is some urban renaissance/renewal going on in downtown now, but it's sure no "Chicago" or any number of other cities you could name. So why do I live here? There is only one reason I still live here. I'll be happy to pass that on privately. Riverbabe

NY Fed Cites Technical Problem In Canceled RP Operation
.
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--In an unusual move, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on Wednesday announced an overnight repurchase agreement, then canceled it, and announced again that it was implementing an overnight operation.
The Fed cited technical problems in the canceled operation.
The New York Fed had said earlier that "preliminary estimates suggest that an overnight RP, which would be conducted at the Desk's normal operating time of 9:30 a.m., will be needed to accommodate heightened reserve needs typical on a Treasury mid-quarter refunding date."
It went on to say that "in addition, the Desk stands ready to conduct further operations later in the day if needed."
The central bank's overnight target rate was trading on target at 5.25%. Open market operations are the Fed's tool to achieve its monetary policy objectives, and involve borrowing and buying a mix of Treasurys and other fixed-income securities.

Today's MoMo Realtime: AUXL
At its usual 9:30 am New York time, intervention time, the Fed awarded $12 billion at its overnight repurchase agreement.
But just saw this: The U.S. Federal Reserve said on Thursday it added $17 billion of temporary reserves to the banking system through 14-day repurchase agreements, in two separate actions.
14 days is very unusal for repo's
My first thot is that the normal 1 and 3 day repos cause too much volatility
What they did last week and what is happening this week was a pretty easy call IMO
Crazy Day...Too much volatility for me...I was tempted a couple times so I got up and left for a little while...Options tomorrow.
Once the credit news becomes old hat maybe we can settle down a little bit.
Inflows/Outflows...For people that pay attention to the useful links on my site you already know this...I watch this closely when I am not in the trading mode anyway...Have you noticed the many imbalances in the Index ETF's the last few weeks?...Espectially the 2x Goal Funds...Pretty crazy IMO.
Pretty obvious that $$$ are going into ETF's rather than individual equities...
Now, what does that tell us???
Aug 15 - Equity Fund Inflows $6.5 Bil; xETFs - Equity Fund Outflows -$2.4 Bil;
Aug 8 - Equity Fund Inflows $9.8 Bil; xETFs - Equity Fund Outflows -$298 Mil;
Aug 15 - Equity Fund Inflows $6.5 Bil; xETFs - Equity Fund Outflows -$2.4 Bil;
Aug 8 - Equity Fund Inflows $9.8 Bil; xETFs - Equity Fund Outflows -$298 Mil; Hmm.
(extra text inserted to satisfy minimum text requirement)
Guess the Feds actually want inflation to rise...they are doing the opposite of what they are supposed to do
Took long enough.....
Home Solutions of America Inc. (HSOA) is able to borrow under its credit facility and has resolved a $21.7 million note issued to a director.
The Dallas-based provider of restoration, construction and interior services issued the note to board member and Executive Vice President Brian Marshall in partial consideration for its purchase of Fireline Restoration Inc.
Home Solutions is in advanced talks with its lenders to receive a waiver to allow funds to be transferred to Marshall if receivables are collected from the Florida Insurance Guarantee Association.

The Gov't is now trying to bail out the banks for their greed...Where the heck was the Gov't when the predatory lending practices were rampant???
Anyway, I'm sure the Gov't has a few more stupid tricks up their sleeve...Too bad the Feds are giving up on their primary function to help out the banks.

POINT OF VIEW: Bank Of America Smelled Opportunity In Countrywide Deal
.
The foundation of any financial system is the confidence its participants have that it can function and that it can function efficiently.
And when that confidence begins to wane, it can have far-reaching effects for individuals and companies around the world.
This is of course what has happened in recent months as concerns about the mortgage meltdown in the U.S. have spread beyond our borders. Once thought of as just a problem for the mortgage securities market here, the billions of dollars lost as bad mortgages blew up has created recently a worldwide aversion to anything perceived risky.
The easy money that financed acquisitions dried up. Healthy companies began to have difficulty tapping crucial short-term funds. The mortgage malaise spread from the junky subprime market to the good credit arena - meaning far fewer mortgages are being created, which means far fewer homes will be sold. And don't kid yourself about the importance of this - the housing market is a crucial part of the U.S. economy.
So it was on Wednesday that two major confidence boosters took place. And the financial markets around the world have cheered loudly ever since: a handful of major banks took the symbolic step of borrowing from the Federal Reserve's discount window to show the institutions that are really in need of funds that it is more than okay to do so.
And a major U.S. retail banking institution, Bank of America, took an equity stake in Countrywide Financial Corp., the nation's largest mortgage company that has recently faced a liquidity squeeze. Last week, an analyst at a major Wall Street firm even speculated that Countrywide could be pulled into bankruptcy.
These two confidence boosters are very different, though. The banks going to the Fed clearly did so, perhaps with a little nudge from the Fed, to show the world it is fine to borrow from the discount window. They did so, albeit in small amounts, at a cost greater than where they could borrow elsewhere.
Bank of America wasn't being quite so altruistic. It saw an incredible opportunity. And that of course is what being successful in the financial system is all about - making money and being smart about how you do it.
Countrywide sold to Bank of America $2 billion of convertible preferred securities that carry an annual dividend of 7.25% and are convertible into Countrywide common shares at $18 a share. Countrywide's stock closed Wednesday at $21.82 (the equity infusion was announced a few hours after the market closed).
Granted, to sell a big stake in a company you would likely need to sell it at a discount. And a company facing a liquidity problem needs to sell equity at an even steeper discount. By making these preferreds convertible at a price $3.82 below where Countrywide actually closed, Bank of America not only bought some healthy downside protection but bought the stock at a roughly 18% discount.
And its $2 billion investment at $18 a share rather than $21.82 allows it, upon conversion, to effectively own more stock - roughly 20 million more shares (at the $18 conversion price, the preferreds would turn into about 111.11 million shares of Countrywide. Bank of America becomes a roughly 16% owner of Countrywide).
In addition, Bank of America picks up a healthy annual dividend: about $145 million a year. It's actually worth a little more to Bank of America because the convertibles were structured as equity, not debt. Under tax rules, dividends received by one company from an investment in another are subject to more favorable tax treatment.
If a company owns less than 20% of the stock in another company, it can exclude from its tax calculations 70% of the dividends it received. So, Bank of America gets $145 million in dividends from Countrywide. But under the dividends received deduction rules, it only has to report to the tax authorities 30% of that dividend income, or $43.5 million. So, at Bank of Americas roughly 33% tax rate, it pays taxes of $14.36 million. After tax, the investment provides income of $130.64 million.
If this was interest income, Bank of America would have to pay taxes on the entire amount - roughly $47.85 million in taxes, leaving it with after-tax income of $97.15 million. By crafting this investment as a preferred stock rather than a bond results in more than $30 million of additional income for Bank of America.
(The DRD, by the way, is meant to lessen what is effectively triple taxation. The company paying the dividend does so after it pays taxes. That dividend to the receiving company gets taxed as investment income as well. And then when the receiving company pays a dividend to its shareholders, it gets taxed again).
The flip side of this, of course, is that this financing was more expensive for Countrywide. A company issuing debt can lower the amount of income it reports to the tax authorities by the amount of interest it pays out, effectively lowering its tax obligation. But dividends on equity securities, common or preferred, are paid out after taxes. So, no tax benefit.
But Countrywide didn't really have a choice.
Bank of America got another little concession to help protect its new investment in Countrywide. While Bank of America agreed not to increase its stake in Countrywide or to make a proposal to outright acquire the company, it did receive the right to be able to match any offer a third-party might make for Countrywide, according to a filing Thursday that Countrywide made with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
With some much-needed cash in its pockets, Countrywide can go back to transforming its mortgage model to one that focuses primarily on underwriting high-quality mortgages. What this investment does is shore up its balance sheet and adds some punch to its capital position. What it doesn't do, of course, is remove the short-term risks that have been created in the marketplace - volatile mortgage pricing and lack of liquidity. And that's why Standard & Poor's Thursday left Countrywide on its credit watch list with negative implications.
As I mentioned...I'm going on vacation tomorrow...Be back by Labor Day...Unless my wife pushes me overboard off the balcony ;)
I'll try to check in while I'm gone...Doug

Morning Doug,
I just saw this post and it stopped me short. Nice return on the top 5!! Especially with the market upheaval the past few months, this is very impressive.
Could you tell me how it works? Is it quite simply..."buy" the first 5 in the top 100 list and replace any that fall from top 5 with new top 5's?
Thanks,
Matt

Matt,
if you are new to trading you probably don't understand the skewed percentages of what Doug has posted. unless you buy at the proper entry and sell at the proper exit none of these numbers mean you are going to end up with these percentage gains. although these percentages are probably correct, over the year to date period, they don't guarantee anything and doug himself most likely has traded very few of them, if any, for swing trades of any duration. It looks nice and to someone like yourself appears like all you have to do is to buy the top 5 and replace them as they fall out of or enter into his top 5 but believe me it doesn't work like that. you had better go out and build a wide base of technical and fundamental knowledge to enable yourself to analyze any of these stocks and where they are at in their cycles or chart patterns before you buy anything. all of these stocks cycle up and down over the course of a long time period, such as "year to date" and unless you catch them at the right time in the right pattern you are going to end up losing alot more than you gain regardless of what has been posted here.
a much better scenario would be to see the analysis of each individual stock and trade, the planning behind it, and the strategy for each entry, exit, and result of the trade and something more concrete with consistent proven results. besides ibd is a terrible comparison to guage anything by in any market other than MAYBE a full blown bull uptrend.
this list may be a decent starting place to take and research their charts for possible setups and trades but to give a "carte blanche" to the list and buy all of the top 5 stocks without full consideration of numberous other factors is going to turn out to be a bad bet.

Matt...your question has come up before...Below I am pasting an answer I posted on June 6th.
But before I post the old answer I would like to say that the IIC 100 is presented as a List of Ideas ONLY...It is not a list of recommendations...The stocks simply meet the criteria I enter. It is purely mechanical.
The IIC 100 is also a better list in an uptrending market...at one time this year the Top 5 were collectively up 56.30% (July 6th). But since I post it every week regardless of what the indices are doing, the overall results are at the mercy of the market.
Last year only the Top 10 were tracked...The IIC 100 Top 10 was +26.86% last year. However, the high for the year was +34.45% on May 6th.
In reviewing this week's list I was hard pressed to present a Chart of the Week...I almost decided not to post one...However, I picked GIGM as the best of the worst looking charts I have seen this year.
Another thought, which used to be tracked by others, is to take my list and the IBD 100 and concentrate on those that are on both lists. Last week there were 33 and this week there are 31. This week that calculates out to 40% because I have 23 that are under $15. (31 divided by 77).
Unfortunately, I'm not at liberty to post the IBD 100...But if you have access to it you can track the Combo List yourself.
As I say on my Stockcharts.com page:
The IIC 100 is not a list of recommendations...They simply meet some basic criteria...Notably, fundamental criteria. One of my trading philosophies is to watch the best fundamental stocks for a buy when the technicals are right.
http://stockcharts.com/def/servlet/Favorites.CServlet?obj=ID1659925
Ski mentions that he does not think the comparison to the IBD 100 is fair. I disagree with him because my list is designed to do better in a Full Blown Uptrend and I believe the IBD 100 is too...So what's the difference???. But there is one thing that gives me an edge IMO...The fact that I include lower priced stocks...For example, CRNT is both an IIC 100 and IBD 100 darling. CRNT debuted on the IIC 100 on April 2nd. It had closed at 5.68 on the previous Friday. As far as I know, IBD has a minimum price of $15 so they missed the approx. 200% increase that I got.
Perhaps a comparison of our Under $10 lists would be good???...But I don't have access to the IBD Under $10 list so I really don't know. But I have wondered why IBD has an Under $10 List and an apparent Over $15 list...What happens to all those in between???
Here is my post on 6/6/07:

Doug...how do you figure your returns on your 100 list? Over what period of time and how are substitutions factored in?
I don't calc it...It is done independently by others.
Here is my understanding:
At the beginning of the year all stocks are taken at the open (in the top 5 or 10)...Then the avg. % gain/loss is reported for the week.
The following week (and subsequent weeks) are calc'd that if a stock is new the following week then you use Monday's open...If it is a repeat then you use the previous Friday's close etc...I think the results are compounded.
The problem is (although it is a fair comparison...and they compare against other lists that I'm not at liberty to reveal too) is that in the real world nobody knows which ones will be dropped for the following week until after Friday's close...I could run my IIC 100 scan for the following week in R/T 5 mins before the previous Friday close....I don't do that but even if I did there could be some after hours adjustments...And IBD sure as heck isn't gonna do it....So you can't sell at Friday's close because you don't know which ones will be dropped for next week.
My suggestion...Both lists are only a guide...There's plenty of times when I would like to manually remove some...But I don't since I offer it as a Mechanical Scan ONLY...The comparison is presented ONLY to show that people can get a better list of ideas for free than they can by paying an arm and a leg.
I can say with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that the IIC 100 is more forward looking than the IBD 100...I think the last few years prove that...Will it always be?...I don't know...But at least you don't have to pay me to find out...And you NEVER will.
In conclusion...All I'm trying to do is offer people some NEW IDEAS at no charge...Perhaps some day I might charge for something???...But it won't be for the IIC 100.
Thanks For Asking,
Best, Doug(IIC)

Gap and Crap...I believe there is reasonable support in the 13.40 area.
So the FED drops 1/4 point tomorrow...So what!?!?!?...The REAL FED rate changes everyday and is already down there:
http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/update/
.
Intraday support held...in SGMO 11.80's
Wow...Up over 12% today...Unfortunately I had to leave about 1/2 hour after the market opened so I put in a limit sell order...that certainly got taken out...Well, a gain's a gain...IIC
Without reading all the commentary...My first thot about a 50 point reduction is that the FED is telling us that things are worse than even I thought they were.
So interest rates go down...Who benefits? Do you??? Perhaps you do...However, I don't see any immediate benefit on my end...I hardly owe anyone anything anyway...Although, I will look at the deals as I might buy my wife a new car in the next 6 months.
Not for everyone...But on the last 3 cars we bot for her I got pre-approved loans on the Net...Took in the papers and when they asked how much I was planning on putting down I said "NOTHING... I DIDN"T BRING MY CHECKBOOK...I'm not taking any cash outta my pocket"...Of course they always beat the loan I already have approved by a smidge. But the last 2 were under 5%...So let's see what they are offering next month.
They came up and got me...Out the rest of MR +$10.00 sh :)

IIC,
I'm in CRNT at 14.20. I'm trying to set a trigger price. Do you think it wil gap to the (higher crest) Sept 5th price, or to the lower sept 13th price because it has more support and heavier volume.
On the learning Curve,
Chris

CRNT needed to cool off...I had put support at about 13.40...It didn't go down that far. Generally I think most would like to see lower volume on the down slide. Also notice that the overall volume last week was only average for the 5 days combined. However, I don't mind seeing higher volume when it finally bottoms...sort of the inverse of the exhaustion run on the upside. Too early to tell for me because the overall market has done so well the last 2 days and I don't know how long that will last but I can envision 17.50ish to 18.00 before another major pause here...Doug

Yes Billy...It was on the list as recently as the end on July. Unfortunately it misses the cut on only one criteria...But I can't tell you which one it misses on...If I told you... I'd have to kill you ;)
You see, even though I give a general description of my criteria...I'm the ONLY one who knows the complete criteria...My wife doesn't know it...Even my trading partner doesn't know it...It is not even stored on any of my 4 computers...The only way it will ever be revealed is if I have a laptop with me on my death bed...Although, come to think of it...I might consider telling you for an amount in the low 7 figures....Like $5 million cash.

Now think carefully about this billyjoeY. This is a man who does not trust anyone with his secrets! Even his wife. Even his trading partner. Why in the world would he trust his secrets to a senile guy from Ohio with a limp? For $ 5 million cash? Not on your life! Notice he said "I might consider telling you..." Besides, we already know that at least 3 of the 4 computers are not functional and are still in their original boxes, never set up! So, he's also a wannabe con artist! All you have to do is be there when he's on his death bed to confiscate the laptop! So how do we do it? You know, get him onto his death bed. On the other hand, is something as trivial as his so-called valuable secret really worth it.....? How much could we sell it for? Notice here, I am volunteering to be a co-conspirator for a cut of the loot if it's worth in the range of the low 7 figures! River

Well...it didn't go dn to support as I saw it and it didn't go quite as high as I thot...On your end a lot depends on your style and goals...If you loaded up...I recommend trimming if you didn't already...Long Term I like it...Short Term is risky IMO
Demand for previously owned homes tumbled in August to the lowest level in five years as mortgage market troubles hurt sales.
Home resales fell to a 5.50 million annual rate, a 4.3% decrease from July's unrevised 5.75 million annual pace, the National Association of Realtors said Tuesday.
The August resales level was in line with Wall Street expectations. It was the lowest pace since 5.36 million in August 2002.
"The credit market freeze in August no doubt contributed to the sales decline," NAR senior economist Lawrence Yun said.
The median home price was $224,500 in August, up 0.2% from $224,000 in August 2006. The median price in July this year was $228,700.
Yun said the unusual disruptions in the mortgage market, including a significant climb in jumbo loan rates resulted in a fairly high number of postponed or canceled sales.
"Lower sales contributed to a buildup of unsold inventory," he said.
Inventories of homes rose 0.4% at the end of August to 4.58 million available for sale, which represented a 10.0-month supply at the current sales pace. There was a 9.5-month supply at the end of July, revised from a previously estimated 9.6 months.
Existing-home sales tumbled in all regions. Sales dropped 5.2% in the Midwest, 2.0% in the Northeast, 9.8% in the West, and 2.7% in the South.
The average 30-year mortgage rate was 6.57% in August, down from 6.70% in July, according to Freddie Mac (FRE).

As far as I know you must own it at the close on Friday if that is the day of record. This site confirms my thoughts...although I have no idea who they are: http://www.dividendtrader.net/stocks/dividends.html
However, I recommend that you call your broker to find out...Doug

In looking over your IIC100 list for ideas to use for under $10 stocks month of Oct. I was surprised you didn't pick PTT for my $10-$15 contest. Newborn will probably take it (just kidding, PTT specializes in adult entertainment). Then my surprise turned to shock as I saw the price and chart on DAR. That's my pick in the contest. Thanks, hope it doesn't open over $9.99 tomorrow. Of all my sources, DAR showed up only on IBD and IIC100 lists.

Not all banks are losing money:

Maybe it's just the ones caught in the US housing implosion right now. But this sucker's done great for me ever since $$MM picked it two splits ago. Of course, OFG is a different story, though.

Thx...but STV is not on the list.
As I may have mentioned, since April I have only been trading from our CwH and PoI lists except for six 10 O'Clock Bulls Trades the week after I came back from vacation and now STV. I just couldn't pass STV up after reading about it on Thursday. I paid 32.80 which wasn't the best price but I had to leave early Friday so I just put in an order and got filled.
This has been a very good year...with a couple notable exceptions as usual..But no real disasters

Oop's...you are right...I did miss it.
Ya know...I ran an unofficial IIC 100 Scan last Wed or Thurs just for kicks and TBSI would have been # 1 if it had been Friday after the close. I was surprised when WX came up on Friday evening as # 1

Hi Doug,
I know CwH is Cups with Handles. But, I looked on your site and I'm missing what PoI stands for??
Thanks,
Matt
also, sure wish I had the guts to buy STV after your email today, but IPO stocks scare the heck out of me! I sure missed the boat on that one! grrrrr. :-)

Actually...the email alert was sent Saturday...But I know a lot of people don't check their inbox over the weekend.
PoI = Patterns of Interest...Along with the Cups w/ Handles I post every Sunday at my site I also post the PoI's...The PoI's are simply stocks that show up on my CwH scans that look interesting but do not meet my own personal criteria for a CwH ( It also includes some that others send me to check out to see if I think they meet my CwH criteria)...It does not include other stocks that I may think are interesting (e.g. STV) that I find from other methods.
I run scans for CwH's from my own database and Stockfetcher...along w/ looking at every chart of the IIC 100 and IBD 100...If I don't look at 800+ charts then I pick some other lists to look at. For example, last Sunday I had only looked at 787 charts...So I decided to look at the DJIA to get me over 800...Well, I found HON (which may be debateable on the left side run.)
I will admit that some that make the CwH list really should not...perhaps the handle is too low...or the left side run is not 20%...Or the rt and lt side cup highs are not within 5%...I don't sit here w/ a calculator on most (some I do calc tho)...I estimate %'s mostly...That is why you might see a stock on the CwH list one week and the PoI list the next or vice versa...But IMO both lists are worth checking out...Thx...Doug(IIC)
Hey Doug,
Having watched IPO's tank after the initial first couple days, I'm just wondering what you think of STV yet today?

Nope...but I must be destined to hold...tried to trim late yesterday at 38.80 and I had entered the trade in the wrong account...then the market closed...tried to trim at 49,20 today and my computer crashed

Hey...I hear "IBD TRACKER" said today that WX would debut on the IBD 100 at Briefing...Well, that woulda been nice since the "Ackowlegeables" like IBD, Rev, Lizz etc are pretty good stock pickers...IF YOU LIKE TO BE LATE TO THE PARTY...But unfortunately, although WX was # 1 on the IIC 100 last week...It is nowhere to be found on next week's IBD list.
However...altho it will still be up there...it won't be # 1 anymore.
Up to you to decide...'Ya want 'em early for FREE...Or 'ya wanna pay a fortune to get 'em late???
I know I sound a bit conceited...But after years of this I really cannot understand why people pay for something that they can get earlier for free....???

Yes, I like 'em earlier for free from IIC. That ought to be your moniker:
GET 'EM EARLIER
FOR FREE
FROM ICC
Now that I think about it...what I said didn't really come out right...Even though I think Briefing and IBD are over priced...you do get a A LOT more info from them than you do from me.
I pay quite a bit to IBD for my own purposes and although I don't use most of their stuff or share what I do use...The parts I do use do pay for themselves.
As far as my own database...it is free to me...but somebody has to pay for it...And I do have free access to much of Briefing while others have to pay for it...And to be honest...Any of the ones that I offer still have to be checked out somewhere else...it is not like I give you a complete analysis or even much in the way of comments about the ones on my lists.
My lists are simply a starting point...so I'd like to retract that last post.

China Precision Steel Inc.'s (CPSL) fiscal year 2007 earnings fell to $8.3 million, or 29 cents a share, from $8.41 million, or 35 cents a share, a year earlier, hurt in part by higher administrative expenses.
Earnings from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30 were 26 cents a share, down from 31 cents a share a year earlier.
However, the Chinese steel processing company's revenue for the fiscal year grew 55% to $54 million from $34.9 million, boosted by a greater volume of precision steel sales.

I see a pretty strong inverse correlation, Doug. It makes sense, too. The less the dollar is worth, the more dollars any given company/stock should be worth. So, all else being equal, it makes sense for the Dow to go from around 8000 to 12000 as the dollar drops from 120 to 80, right?
Of course this should only matter long-term because short term, the market really doesn't care what the dollar does, and tends to be much more irrational.

Of course this should only matter long-term because short term, the market really doesn't care what the dollar does, and tends to be much more irrational.
I ran a similar one on $GOLD too...I remember when the markets went up when gold went down....But I saw that change quite a ways back... The reason I posted that chart is because I really never followed the dollar till this year...and I don't really know how the whole monetary system works.
In a way I feel like I was bamboozled on my QID loss, which while not substantial $$$ wise (Made more on STV on my 60% trim than I lost on QID), because I listened to some rather sharp, rather rich oldtimers...I finally came to the conclusion that while they may be intelligent...They may be very wealthy...They may also not be with reality anymore.
I'm not really sure about that though because some of these guys are sharp and mostly make sense...But they have sure called it wrong on the $$$ effect....So far anyway... But nobody is perfect and I know we all have to make our own decisions...right or wrong.
One thing that came to mind...I probably read it somewhere...Is that as the dollar goes down the companies that export do well because foreigners can get the products cheaper...That certainly makes sense.

Interesting data Doug. It can sometimes be a bit o' fun to buy something near the end of a horrible day that is down for no other reason than that it was a horrible day and see what happens with it the next day.

Trading A/H is too tricky for me...Too many Sharks and I don't have the time to follow what they are doing...So much manipulation...Much of which I don't fully comprehend anyway...So I don't trade A/H or Pre-M
I'm mostly in cash so I'm just intending to trade what is happening when I have the time...Jobs report tomorrow.
My CwH and PoI lists which have been my main concentration since April were HORRIBLE today...But I made a couple of Quickie DT's as I posted...Just tryin' to adapt to whatever is happening when I have the time.
You read the headlines...FED pumped $41 bil in today...Did they really do that?

All I will guarantee is that my IIC 100 is more forward looking than the IBD 100...If you can set it up I'd be happy to debate Bill O on CNBC or where ever regarding this subject.
Recently I have been placing some Buy Stops sans Limit...Today I put some in on GTLS IMMR CEL ...I ended up canceling them all and wouldn't 'ya know it...they all moved up after I cancelled each...No trades today
I think Paulson should resign...And anyone who is trying to call a bottom on the financials here should give it up and forget about being an investor...You ain't seen nothin' yet IMO.
I've been calling this for over 2 years...The only thing I was wrong about was the timing...In 2005 I thot this all would come out much sooner.

Doug,
I've been going to foreclosure auctions at the county courthouse mostly out of curiosity for the last few years. Today I noticed a difference in the bidding patterns not seen last year or even a few months ago. The plaintiffs (mostly national banks) will now only make the minimum bid which is 2/3 of the appraised value. If anyone bids first or after them, they do no further bidding. Several of today's properties were foreclosed by Deutsche Bank or Wells Fargo , in fact about 50% of the total number of sales. In the past, their local reps , usually attorneys, would bid up the parcels to ridiculous levels and list them with realtors at inflated prices. Most of these houses are in a city with a declining population currently about 25,000. I can't imagine how many houses throughout the country are being sold at sheriff's sale by these 2 banks alone.

Doug,

Chris...I present my IIC 100 in descending order from #1 to #100 each week...The results are based on the Top 10 (or Top 5 ) that I already presented.
When you see my list, the first stock listed rates #1 based on the criteria I developed in 2004...I don't necessarilly think that the first 5 or 10 are the best stocks (In fact, sometimes I'd like to erase one that appears...but I don't...e.g. FTK appears in this week's top 10...It met the criteria to do so...but I wouldn't even consider it if my list was subjective)...But my mechanical criteria which uses fundies and some technicals puts them in descending order.
Is my criteria the best? Maybe not...But it certainly seems to be better than IBD's.
My suggestion...If you are interested in checking some out but you don't want to spend a lot of time...Look at my new additions and/or look at the ones that appear on both the IIC 100 AND the IBD 100 (Then you have their backward looking view AND my forward looking view).
But as I state on my Stockcharts Page: "The IIC 100 is not a list of recommendations...They simply meet some basic criteria...Notably, fundamental criteria. One of my trading philosophies is to watch the best fundamental stocks for a buy when the technicals are right".

So, IIC top 10 is not a get rich quick list... ;)

I have been doing this a little already, selectively, and have found a few winners like CRNT and CELG. But I am looking into trying something a little more programmatic rather than just randomly picking one of the IIC stocks and researching it.
To be clear in regards to your IIC top 10 results for 11-02-07, the +78% is the combined result of stocks# 1-10 of the IIC 100 of that week as published 10-29, OR is it the combined result of the 10 stocks that performed the highest out of all the IIC 100?
BTW thanks for all of your posts. It's great to be on the learning curve here with people like you.

The calcs are not done by me...but I understand that you would have taken an equal dollar amount on the first trading day of the year and bot each stock in the top 5 or top 10 as listed in descending order...You would hold each stock until it dropped off the list of TOP 5 or 10...However, you would not know until after the market closed on Friday which one(s) you should have sold...You take that and buy the new ones that appear at the open on Monday....The %'s are YTD
However, doing that is really just for comparison against IBD...It is not a realistic way to trade and in fact it is not possible.
The IIC 100 is simply a list of stocks that I think have a fundamentally good chance of increasing in price.
I suggest you copy the whole list and scan it thru your own criteria and see which ones pop up for further DD.
I'm not going to tell you my exact criteria but basically these are stocks that have excellent recent eps increases and very good eps projections going out 1 to 2 years. I also use some technical criteria.
Also...lets say you are looking for favorable technicals...I post the whole list at Public Stockcharts...I show a number of technical indicators...they may not be the indicators you use but it only takes about 5 mins to run thru each week's chart list...jot down which charts/techs look interesting to you...and then you can check those further...If you are more interested in fundamentals then yes...it would take you quite a bit longer to check 'em out although if you have a fundamental scanner you could simply run the whole list thru it...Best, Doug

I agree, if you run the IIC 100 through fundamental scans you'll get a nice selection and if you're more fundamentally than technically inclined the resulting list will be the best of both. It might be interesting to match a list of 10 IIC technical picks vs. top 10 IIC list fundy champs. I'd volunteer a fundy list if anyone would do a 10 IIC techny list. Only using IIC stocks, of course.

Ok, Doug, I think I get it now. Your list is based on fundamental criteria and a bit of technical analysis thrown in. Since everybody sets different values of importance on various fundamental indicators, 100 people could rate your list fundamentally and all come up with different rankings . I might throw out a stock with ROE below 20% while you may reject one with a drop in projected earnings for 2nd quarter '08. For a while I thought you were basically technical then it seemed you were 100% fundamental but you're a combination . Well, I'll rate your list the way I see it and hope for the best. Thanks for the continuous stream of ideas.

--------------billyjoe
Basically correct Billy...the list is really just a start...There is a large emphasis on current and projected earnings. But there is no weight on past earnings. Now if someone wanted to add past earnings or even sales they would have to filter the list themselves.
As far as ROE...I don't have an ROE filter. And actually I'm not interested in ROE...although I realize some people are.
So the list is really just a start...But if someone has the ability to take the list and further refine it by adding their preferred fundamental and or technical criteria I'd suggest they do that. Blindly buying those in the Top 5 or 10 is not a very good plan IMO.
As you may have noticed I offer a few basic technical scans on the latest list each Saturday on my IIC 100 Scans Page at my site...But it takes more than that to find which ones will be future winners...thx...Doug

My take is that if he can't handle the job he should quit or be fired.
Anybody can handle the rosy times...But we see what people are made of when the going gets tough...Reminds me of one of our old HS Football Mottos..."When the going gets tough...The tough get going"
Here is another one: "Blood makes the grass grow"
His situation also reminds me of the Peter Principle..."Members of a hierarchical organization eventually are promoted to their highest level of competence, after which further promotion raises them to incompetence"....Although he might just be a Blazing Liar???
JSDA C/C:
Jones Soda Inc. (http://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/gen/Jones_Soda_Inc_71360258350148A0908CA6A680A61816.ht ml) Thursday reported that it lost $1.5 million in the third quarter, or a loss of 6 cents a share, which compares with net income of $194,700, or 1 cent per share a year earlier.
Revenue rose to $13 million from $10.3 million in 2006.
Analysts polled by Thomson Financial Network expected earnings of 2 cents per share and revenue of $13.85 million.
In after-hours trading Thursday, shares in the Seattle soda company (NASDAQ: JSDA) had plummeted more than 10 percent.
"The results are below plan for the quarter and we are disappointed with our recent performance," said Peter van Stolk, president and CEO, in a statement.
Earlier this week, Jones was named the official soft drink (http://seattle.bizjournals.com/seattle/stories/2007/11/05/daily11.html)for the National Basketball Association's new Barclay's Center being built in Brooklyn, N.Y. The NBA's Nets will move into the center in 2009.
I was SUPER LUCKY enough to get a confidential photo of their recent board meeting:

Doug,
Call me crazy but I just bought DAR at 10. Announced great quarter .15 vs. .13 estimates and good guidance. Not a lot of competition. Reminds me of the local septic pumper. Might not look like much but cleans up real well.

Also, another interesting tidbit...As you know I post the IIC 100 New Highs each day at SharpTraders...Yesterday was the lowest number ever...Just one: AG ...And although it hit a new high intraday it closed down 3.55% and went down another 1.15% a/h

Well I would love to add to the conversation but with the markets so different I don't have a cognizant thought to bring...
NBB has helped me out with trading some options, made a little money there. But as for the rest... I sold everything and am sitting on %40 shares of PCP @138 (said with fingers crossed and eyes closed). And then I think to myself WWDD. (what would Doug Do?)

Doug,
I know this Q may seem elementary but;

Chris
Well...sometimes news...But I refuse to trade a/h and pre-m...I like to swim w/ the sharks...But I don't like to get eaten alive...Bunch a crooks running the show IMO...If I was f/t maybe I'd join in...But no way at this point
Waited the whole last hour for the market to tank with my mouse on the Confirm button for QID...Never happened.
Hey...Maybe BofA will try to takeover E-Trade...You heard it from me first...LOL
BTW...FASB rules on Thursday
And WMT...Super...Heck...Everyone has already done their Christmas shopping there w/ all the October discounts.
I'm very Bearish over the next 2 weeks...except the day after T-Giving which is a day traders paradise w/ the short hours.
Partial fill on GSB...canceled the rest
QID traded again...Out with another gain...maybe I'll just dt QID every time the NDX goes dn...lol
QID traded again...Out with another gain...maybe I'll just dt QID every time the NDX goes dn...lol
Ended up trading QID 4x today...I just watched the NDX, Q's Top Naz 100 heavyweights, market movers list and the QID 1 min. technicals...When they all seemed to come together I bot...ended up buying the same number of shs each time for an overall 1.45 sh gain.
Partial fill on GSB...canceled the rest
Well...I only ended up with 10% of the shares I had originally tried to buy...I sort of forgot about it till the end of the day. Announces tomorrow and since I have so few shares I decided to roll the dice and hold over...The 10 Q came out this evening...not impressive and down quite a bit a/h
For those wondering...In the past I usually day traded in my cash/margin account and never had a problem. I also have 3 tax accounts where there are limits on day trading. I periodically made dt's in them always using settled funds and always buying/selling the whole thing at one shot.
In my cash account I started trimming a ways back on dt's...In the tax accounts my trims were usually days apart.
Anyway...recently, due to market conditions I have also been day trading in tax accounts trying to not exceed the dt limit in 5 days...So I had a question:
If I buy a stock in a tax account in the morning and trim half that same day and sell the rest later the SAME DAY does that count as one day trade or two? (I'm only using settled funds in the tax accounts)
Took a couple of emails to ST to finally get them to stop sending me CANNED responses about settled funds and Reg T...But this is the outcome in case anyone is interested:
If you buy 100 ABC stock in the morning and later that day sell 50 ABC and then later that day sell the remaining 50 ABC, this is one day
trade.
If you buy 50 ABC and buy 50 more ABC and then later than same day sell 100 ABC, this is two day trades. Any closing transaction that closesout any portion up to all of an opening transaction will be counted as a day trade.
I really don't know what the penalty would be if you made 4 dt's in a tax account within 5 days...They can't take away your margin because you don't have any...I guess they could only allow you to trade with settled funds for 90 days...But that's what I want to do anyway in tax accounts and if you have plenty of settled cash it really doesn't matter...I will admit that once I sold a stock bot with unsettled funds right away because it was tanking...It was LCAV for those with a great memory...But it was in my wife's IRA...so she got in trouble...Not Me...LOL...However, the trouble was only a nasty email saying something to the effect that you better not do that again.
Anyway...I think this unsettled funds thing is bogus...When I used to be in 11 forums I tried to organize a protest...But got nowhere...Although I really didn't try that hard...Oh well...Doug(IIC)
My site is not PRO or CON China...But sometimes I wonder why some of the China stuff I try to post completely messes up my site??? And I have to delete it and spend hours with tech support to get my site back to normal.

Have I got a great stock for you. With a P/E of 2.5 and yearly earnings growth of 111% and 3 analysts rate it a strong buy accordings to Zaks research. Can you guess? Hint, It's a long time favorite of yours. To top it off, it's a steal at way below $10.

there is so much that you don't know about the woman. She is not afraid to put it out there.
Traded FXP 2x today...been watching it since it started...+.54 and +1.08...Trickier than QID but basically the same concept...I keep these up on a streamer page along with 1 min. technicals.
FXP FXI PGJ EWH $HXC CHINA LFC SNP CEO CHA CHU ACH HNP PTR SHI
The last 10 are components of the FTSE/Xinhua 25
Spread is tough though...I lost about 20 cents from the time I decided to sell till the time I sold each time. Held both times for less than 10 minutes.
Not sure I'll make a practice of trading FXP and unfortunately it does not have a long counterpart.

Random thoughts: I got whacked on BIDZ short in the last 5 min. of trade yesterday. Didn't get stopped out, but close. I wonder what today will bring?
What was your second order from BIDZ? Just wondering, are you now one of their Associates? I noticed that they supply banner ads to their Associates.
Hope you get a chance to watch the OK v. MO game tomorrow. I still remember the good old days of Barry Switzer v. Tom Osborne (he sure has his hands full right now).
John McC, Barack, and John E are late with their Christmas cards this year. Watching the mailbox with baited breath. :)

“Baited” breath? What does that mean? Have you been eating sushi? ;):rolleyes::eek:
Sorry, River, but I couldn't resist.

Good price. I hope it's not a Timex. :o

It's a Dufonte...Lucien Piccard's cheaper brand...My wife loves it.
I still have doubts about BIDZ tho...I couldn't find out when it was supposed to be delivered...The tracking number didn't show up in their USPS tracking page...Since they require 48 hrs notice if it is not delieverd in time to get a refund I emailed them on Wednesday demanding a refund just to protect myself.
I never heard from them...But delivery was attempted on Thursday...My wife took the slip to the PO on Friday and picked it up...Geez...Now she's already seen her big Christmas present :(
There was no signature required on the first watch I got...it was just dropped in the mailbox.
I still have my suspicions about their site...As I think I've mentioned I have tried to bid in the last few seconds on items that were going really cheap...and my bids wouldn't register...This has happened too many times to be a coincidence IMO...But if that is true maybe they will stop it now that SL somewhat exposed them???

Glad to see BPHX back on the list. Up over 14% last week and over 171% since March.

Wake Up Billy...BPHX has been #10 for the past 4 weeks
I'm a bit surprised that CSSGX is still around...originally I had given it 2 years...It has now been 26 months. But what really amazes me is that IBD still posts all the funds holdings everyday at their site...Doesn't seem like a very good promo tool.
I noticed that 20% of the funds holdings do not have an EPS or RS rating of 80+...Doesn't seem very Canslimmish to me.
A few facts...
Since inception in Sept 2005... +11.8% which works out to a 5.1% APY...A bit less than a Countrywide CD...CSSGX is considered a Mid Cap Growth Fund...I think a good comparison would be The S&P Midcap 400/CitiCorp Growth Index (Ticker Symbol $MDG at Stockcharts.com)
Since the day CSSGX started the $MDG is +26.6%.
Since May 9, 2006 CSSGX is -7.3%...$MDG is +9.7% over the same period.
Even the entire S&P 400 is +21.98% and +5.3% over the same periods.
I just don't get it...If the Canslim Experts cannot do any good...how do they expect Joe and Jane Canslim to do any better? Now, I've heard the arguement that it is tough to trade Canslim with too much money...But the fund only has $36 mil under management and an average holding of only about $525,000...So I don't think that arguement stands up.
Funny...How they alsways print the IBD vs. SP %'s and their 85-85 Index %'s...both of which have never jived with my calcs???...Wonder when they'll post the CSSGX perentages?
IIC 100 vs. IBD 100 YTD
IIC 100 Top 5 +39.20%
IBD 100 Top 5 -3.58%
IIC 100 Top 10 +43.86%
IBD 100 Top 10 +8.60%

Doug,
If you started an IIC fund I might have to buy into it. You'd take it seriously and tweak it if it stopped working.
