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.

How's your evil twin, Mr. Breakdown, been doing lately?
And have you been banned from flying a commercial airline lately?
I'd like to know what your crimes are. Did you vote Democratic in the last election?

Doug,
Several years ago my then 13 or 14 year old son became obsessed with the SR-71 Blackhawk spy plane. He started a website that at one time was the first that came up in Google search. He would spend hours reading and studying diagrams facts and figures and corresponded with former pilots etc.
He bought patches and other memorabilia and posted it all on the site. Soon the feds started monitoring the site and wondered where he was getting all his info. He came within a few seconds of getting some formerly classified documents off a then rival auction site to Ebay. People wrote him assuming he had been a pilot. He finally lost interest but the site may still be in existance.
Several years later I asked him how this site could still be floating around in cyberspace. He told me he thought the data was stored in a computer in New Jersey. Is that true?

If it were me, I might be getting a little paranoid right now. Could this be a you-know-who revenge play? Siccing the feds on you trying to dig up any possible dirt to make your life a living hell? Just make sure you are a declared d/t and pay every penny of your taxes. And, for gosh sakes, don't try to leave the country with a paper bag full of cash. Is your wife a citizen? Are you a flight risk? Geez oh man, I'll bet they've already got a fat dossier on you at the FBI. At least you'll have the prettiest picture at the post office. :confused:
And, don't worry, we'll all come to visit you so you won't be lonely.

Doug,
You'll love this. A local town just decided to go ahead with a revitalization plan that includes the building of several hundred condos. The population is leaving in droves and there are many new unsold units that have already been on the market for a couple years. There's an estimated 700 abandoned houses in this city with foreclosures at an alltime high. The population is around 25,000.
Looking through a nearby real estate guide for the 5 county area I see an ad "Buy Now and Save Before the Fall Price Increase" on condos. Also a condominium development near my house has stalled after building only 5 of 84 units and they can't sell the 5 but are advertising reduced prices that actually are 10g more than the initial prices. When will these guys accept reality? I don't see where their funds are coming from.

Condos are dropping like a rock out here...much faster than houses...which is to be expected anyway.
Darn...I saw an article recently about a housing project that was pulling the plug...it appeared that the article was going to tell the reader how this guy actually will make more by delaying the project.
Unfortunately I didn't read it...I don't know how these construction and development loans are structured...Ski probably knows.

Usually it helps if you have an in with someone high up in the bank. Right now I am building 58 high end townhouses. My principles are becoming strangled by the borrowing charges and by the downturn in the housing markets. Developers are dropping like flies here in NJ and many projects are going to auction just so that the developers can escape without losing everything. When this starts to happen it creates a domino effect. Builder/develpers start to run out of cash and they in turn short their vendors and subcontractors who in turn cannot pay their men who in turn cannot pay their bills or buy big ticket consumer goods and right on down the line. I have been through a number of downturns in the housing cycles over the past 35 years or so and for some reason this one feels like it it going to be worse than it appears right now.
If the guy you are talking about is leveraged to any degree. I mean if he is working mostly on borrowed money there is no way he can stop working and make money later on. The carrying charges on the money will chew you up and spit you out broke or destitute. If he is using his own money he might be able to hold out but he is still losing on the use of his money by not maximizing the opportunity. Time is the one non replenishable commodity and it doesn't stop. Neither do interest charges on the borrowed principle. You have to start, build, and finish in as short a time period as you can to make money when you are leveraged.
The banks lend money on the assessed or appraised value of the land and on the completed value (sold out value) of the project. It is a very hard proposition and you have to have everything in place to make it work including a strong housing market which this one is now in the shitter. We just dropped the price of our units $160,000 on average. That is a big bite out of the end profit.
Well...I was thinking...and I am too ethical to advocate this...that some of these Corporations just BK...and go on to the next thing

I see the day trades but never see you calling any longer term swing trades. I think I see a complex towards holding them longer. Is it a matter of confidence in your analysis of the charts. You come up with a number of good stocks but I don't see you making the plays and maximizing the opportunities on the good stocks in your list. I think you could be making alot more money but you just don't seem to have the confidence in playing and holding your calls.

I had CBEY last May for a while...and I had MR too...This Fall I had PTT and FRM that I partially held for a while....Once I started concentrating on the CwH's and PoI's I made a lot of Swing Trades...However, the market was not conducive to those types starting about October 26th so I went with what works...for me anyway. I fully intend to concentrate on the CwH's and PoI's if the market continues up.
Here is a post I made at another forum just yesterday:
Here's the way I figure it:
Let's say you buy a stock for $100,000 and make 20% in a month...I think most people would consider that great...Now you have $120,000
But let's say you take that 100 grand and turn it over once a day and you make an average of 2% per trade...Without compounding you've made an average of $2,000 per trade...over 21 trading days you've made $42,000 and now have $142,000 (+42%)...If you compound it you would have over $151,000.
Sounds pretty easy to me.
Too bad I can't come anywhere close to achieving it http://www.arborwood.com/awforums/images/smiles/sad.gif
Obviously the above works great on paper but there actually is a method to my madness...Percentage wise I have made much, much more on day trades than I have on longer term holds and this year I am throwing much more money at the wall (In many cases anyway) than I did in the past.
I had hoped to make over 100% on my entire portfolio this year as recently as October...Doesn't look like I'm going to make it.
There are many many times that I sell a stock and then it takes off...I know that and you know that...But what I remember that most others don't seem to remember are the ones I sell which subsequently tank.
IMO we should trade the way we feel most comfortable.

Hey Doug, Just thought I would comment on this. I agree that one needs to be a little bit flexible - do what works for you, which may be more than one kind of style depending on what the market is doing. I decided to give something that looks more like daytrading a try a few months ago in one account, and that account is up about 80% since Oct 5 (of this year). 13 trades in about 9 weeks, most were a day or two, one position lasted almost 3 of those weeks. One position at a time, with one exception where I saw an opportunity and took a second position on margin and sold it later that day. I did a little quick math and this looks like an average of 1.22% per trading day. I've been using trailing stops to keep gains from evaporating, which sometimes throws me out of positions which go on to make more gains, but also has served it's purpose at least as many times. One of those recent positions for me was SDTH, which I see you bought and trimmed today. I bought SDTH on 11/30 and was stopped out of it on 12/6. Made over 5% in less than a week but missed out on the big gain today. I choose to focus on the fact that I made over 5% in a week, and do that with some amount of regularity. I revisit most of my exits, whether they went on to more gains or not, to inform my selection of stops in the future.
Keep up the good work, bro'.

Bad News...I'm on Jury Duty call this week and I have to report tomorrow...If I'm not around for awhile you'll know I got chosen for some Big High profile case and am sequestered...Then I'll be on Oprah and write a bestseller...Nah!!!...They'll never pick me...Lawyers don't like jurors that never shut up
Hey..they have internet access in the jury room...Won't be doing any trading tho.
However, took my loss early on CEDU...coulda been a lot worse tho if I had sold yesterday
Darn...I wasn't excused...Big Case...Can't say anything about it or I'll be breaking the gag order...When it's all done you can check out my interview at TMZ.
No Trades again today...Still have BEAS and SDTH (Which will be the NEW IIC 100 #1 next week.
Jury Duty keeping me busy and at 4:45pm as I left the court on my way to my office I got a call that the Paramedics were taking my Dad to the hospital...So I redirected and just got home a bit ago.
I apologize to those that like to check Today's MoMo early...But it is up now...Doug(IIC)

Darn...I wasn't excused...When you were interviewed, you should have said, "Well the person must be guilty or he/she wouldn't be here."
Hope your father's okay.

GUILTY...All 10 counts
Jury Duty is over...let's just say I was not the most popular person during the deliberations...Doubt that I'll be getting any Christmas cards from my fellow jurors.
But I took the thing very seriously and I raised many points to consider and I asked a lot of questions...We all finally agreed but I didn't agree because I felt pressured...I wasn't going to let that happen. However, once all the info I wanted was out on the table I had to agree with the rest on the 2 counts I had questions about.
There were some others who dissented from the majority on various counts...But they quickly changed their minds...I believe they felt pressured to change in some cases...But we'll never know.

Thanks for doing your duty, and making the streets that much safer for everybody, Doug! It's not a fun job, but someone's gotta do it.
Ya know...I could've gotten out of it...I know the things to say to get kicked off the panel (and I don't need to lie to do so...I can just go on and on)...But, this time I figured that I would just try and do the right thing by simply answering the questions that were asked of me...However, I do feel the whole system is flawed...I do feel the verdicts were right in the end...But the process...I don't know???...Unfortunately I don't have the answer as to how our Justice System should work.
I know I exaggerated in regards to how big this case was...Altho it was important I doubt that it will make any BIG headlines...Here is a copy of a post I made at another forum:
Well...maybe I exaggerated as to how HIGH PROFILE the case was...However, it was at the Main LA Criminal Courts Building on the 9th Floor which means you have to go thru security twice to get there.
The charges were:
Three(3) Attempted Murders
Three(3) Hate Crimes
Three(3) Using a Weapon
One(1) Making Threats to Murder
I have no problem with how I personally decided to vote on each count in the end...I spent a lot of time thinking and I asked numerous questions...I also offered up reasons why I thought the way I did.
I was very dissapointed overall in how the jury interpreted things...Some thought that since the prosecuter said someting it must be true. One guy said that he just wanted this guy off the streets because he was a bad guy...Some people said that they didn't want to prolong this because they didn't want to hold others up...I'd say most didn't want to even try to understand the law...To me, the jury deliberations were ludicrous.
Bot BRKR as it went thru 13
Bot BRKR as it went thru 13
Held it over although I'm down some it is still above the breakout point...I mistakenly put it on this week's CwH list when it should've been on the PoI list...I watch both lists with equal interest but I imagine some prefer to just watch the CwH's.
I still have BEAS...waiting for a nother buyout offer and the star of the show is SDTH which I bot at 8.94...I did trim 1/2 at 9.42 shortly after I bot but I still have a half stake at 11.98.
But overall I'm over 67% cash.

I compared your IIC 100 to Spikes Voodoo 100. He agrees with all but 3 of your first 27 but only has 2 of your final 73. Doesn't have MELI, BUCY, AG. Of the last 73 he also has CBI and OI.
IIC, Spike, and Barcharts only agree on 5. POT MOS PTT CF CBI. Tried getting stockscouter 100 but it isn't working today.

Actually I have been reading here for years and still learn every day. I used to pick stocks for long term but that was a blood bath for me in 07, barely got out alive and was quite happy to save 10% of my profits. Now I am riding the waves to see if it will work better for me. Today however... how low can low go??? Jumped in at around 2:30 today figuring they bottomed and would rally before the close... now I have to wait till Monday.

I was just looking at some charts of some of the IIC 100 stocks, and I was struck by how bloody awful TBSI's chart looks right now. But when I look at their last four quarters' net income, I see 16.2, 14.4, 21.7, and 27 million. Pretty dramatic spike in the latest two. PE is 9; PEG is 0.81; ROE is nearly 32. Haven't done any further reading on the company or why it appears traders are bearish on future earnings. One conclusion I'm drawn to is that one of the IIC 100 criteria is an upturn in earnings/income. I like that. It's always one of the first things I look at.

The shippers really killed the IIC 100 results during the latter part of the year...But since the scan is mechanical it just is what it is. I know you know this but some of the newbies may not...The IIC 100 is not a list of recommendations...it is simply a list of stocks that meet some Relative Strength, current eps and projected eps criteria I set up in October 2004...I also add a few other criteria which I will take to my grave as I'm the only person in the whole world that knoows what they are...Of course I have offered to reveal all my criteria when WON reveals his IBD 100 criteria...Fat chance of that happening.
BTW...I don't believe I ever posted the final 2007 results which included Monday December 31st.
Here it is:
IIC Top 10 39.89%
IBD Top 10 16.08%
IIC Top 5 47.47%
IBD Top 5 -7.88%
And here are the 2006 results:
IIC Top 10 26.86%
IBD Top 10 -3.82%
And here are the 2008 YTD's (The guy who does this has chosen not to track the Top 5 this year)
IIC Top 10 -14.88%
IBD Top 10 -14.20%

Doug,
What about tracking the cup w / Handles?
-------------billyjoe
Billyjoe,
I think the only way if makes sense is when you actually make the call and make the trade on a specific pattern whether it be a cup and handle base or any other specific pattern or formation. When you make a call and a trade on a pattern it gives more credence to the pattern and to what you are trying to instill in people that are reading your posts. At some point you have to make the call and put it on the line as having done so.
billyjoe
01-13-2008, 03:04 PM
Ski,
Right, and you'd have to use identical triggers for the trades or results wouldn't mean anything. Now to determine the point at which to act. I know some like to take a chance even before a handle forms and others only after the handle's in place.
-------------billyjoe
Ski pretty much hit the nail on the head.
If a handle is in the downward slope phase when I post it...which many are...and it never turns up then I wouldn't buy it anyway.
I like to buy the pivot window tho and especially if the handle bounced off a support level; e.g. 20ema, 50sma...
Convention has it though that most would not buy the pattern until it has broken out...Most never break out so most would never be bot by someone trading the CwH pattern.

Doug,
Some are saying that people started anticipating future directions of patterns because of IBD's oversaturation and gap ups on IBD 100 stocks at least in the first year or 2 of them publishing the lists. This lead to earlier and earlier buys to "beat the crowd". Do you think there's anything to this theory?

First of all...I do not believe that IBD has a whole lot of influence on the stocks they feature...In the whole investing scheme I do not think that that many people follow IBD or Canslim.
However...I do believe that there is a certain element that follows the CS method and actually does try to take advantage of what Joe and Jane Canslim might do....In fact...I'd include myself in that little group...That is one reason I like to play the Pivot Window...And usually trim just before a stock Breaks Out or Breaks Down.
On another note...I don't recall a lot of IBD 100 stocks gapping up...From my recollection most of them have already made their major moves before they reach the upper echelon of the IBD 100...And I think the IBD Top 10 results make that point over the past couple of years.

Doug,
Remember when IBD first started the 100 . People thought this was what they'd always dreamed of. Just buy the top 10 and how could you lose. I'll bet the IBD top 10 performance then was quite a bit different then compared to the last 2 years. You were on the IBD forums then. Lots of posters followed the top 10 like a religion.

But even IBD admits that their 100 is just a mechanical scan of those that meet their secret criteria...If you follow the IBD or the IIC 100...or even both...You need to wait till they are technically ready for a move IMO...If one does that they could do well the way I see it...However, most people want to find some easy way to beat the market...That is not gonna happen...It takes a lot of study and work to do well. Of course the emotional side is the toughest part

In those days I was a subsciber to their premium services. I had bought into the cup and handle thing and made some money. The best thing that I got for whatever money that I spent for their subscription over 4 or 5 years was that I realized what you just said was true. If you waited for the stocks to get to the breakout point for an entry two things were almost sure things if you hadn't bought the breakout right at the exact best moment. The first being that you had just bought a stock that was past the best point for an entry and 2nd the chances of it failing were as high or higher than it continuing on up.
After alot of thought and study I realized that buying them when they were beginning to come off the bottom of the cup base and beginning to make the right side of their cups was the best time to make an entry. The best risk vs reward point is right there at that time. Once I realized that it didn't take long for me to let the subscription expire and I never renewed again.
That led me to explore deeper into technical analysis and many other chart patterns, but the one where I catch them coming of that bottom and beginning to make the right side became my favorite and the one that I have made the most money from over the past few years. It cost me alot of money over the years to subscribe to them but it was worth it in learning that IBD and O'Neil were bullshit.

Doug, I've been holding QID since I sold my stock positions and bought it on 1/15. This was a bit of a risk for me, since if I sell QID before those other sells settle, they will slap a trading restriction on me making me wait to buy until sell trades settle. So, I really needed QID to not drop until at least 1/18. I believe we're starting a real bear - profits on the long side will be getting more and more tricky. Good luck to you, sir.

I lost 20 bux on a long hold on QID last year...That was my own fault tho.
Right now I feel very comfortable day trading QID and QID...Without checking I believe I've made $$$ on every one of my last 15 or so dt's on those 2...Seems like the only thing that's working for me this year.
I've found that if I wait till the conditions are just right instead of trying to anticipate I do well overall on these dt's...been doing it for a while...Not every one has turned out profitable the last 3 months but it has been good and the losers have been very small losses.
As far as selling a stock bought w/ unsettled funds...I've done that before in my wife's IRA...It was better than losing my shirt...All that happened was my wife got a nasty email telling her she was gonna get 5 to 10 if she did it again....LOL...Actually, she did get the stern email but I believe it said her account could be sunbject to a 90 restriction if it happened again...But she got be back...By selling some SWA vouchers of mine via Craigslist she got me put on Frequent Flyer probation.
Maybe I won't get so many misses on the ETF's next year...Sometimes it is tough:

I wouldn't go so far as to call it a BEAR market just yet. A definite Descending Triangle pattern on the $SPX daily chart illustrates the current downtrend as shown here about 2 weeks ago and gives evidence of the call at that time. The $SPX has fallen 227 points since I posted this chart. And right underneath are the annotations accompanying the chart. I would call it a downtrend but to say it's a bear market for the next 6 /12 months might be stretching it a bit. Remember an election is coming up and the current adm. has to straighten out this economic mess if the want to stand a chance against the Dems.
http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/4610/spx1wj7.png (http://imageshack.us)
1/08: I see an overall continuation of the 'Descending Triangle Pattern' but within the pattern will be points where it possibly reverses, very good chance percentage wise right here, with a bouce back up to touch the top line again. As you see it has happened several times already within this triangle. If you look at the bottom horizontal line you will see it does the same as at the top when it touches it and reverses. I think the chances of a boucce back up right here is decent and if it does it could provide several long setups but overall the trend still seems to remain within the Descending Triangle pattern and a continuation of downward overall until shown otherwise by the market itself.
I'm showing a different pattern on the $INDU. The head and shoulders pattern is definitely there and was brought to my attention initially by our own super chartish and technical analyst Spike giving credit for the head and shoulders pattern where it is due. Both patterns are BEARISH formations. The $INDU was posted a day after the $SPX chart and the accompanying annotations are below the chart. The $INDU has fallen almost 1800 points since I first posted this chart and suggested the downtrend in the $SPX and the $INDU.
http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/1603/indu1ns1.png (http://imageshack.us)
1/09: I'm putting the INDU back up just to show the parallels between the two indexes and to be able to show a different chart pattern if one is there. The two indexes are almost mirror images of one another. I have shown the Descending Triangle on the SPX and the Head and Shoulder on the INDU. Both bearish. Amazing the similarity in the chart patterns.

You're not alone. I've been saying that the trend is down and I pushed the envelope on those two long positions in GEHL and WIRE. Foolish buying long into an evident downtrend with those two. Just exited both. GEHL @ $16.30 and Wire @ $15.90. I'm on the sidelines for a bit just to see where this goes.

What is it they say ? Something like, "Economists have called 10 of the last 4 recessions."
LOL.........
In the first QID instance I tried to anticipate (The ULTIMATE Sin)...and it did go up from 47.51 to 47.60 right away...But all my criteria was not in line and then it reversed down to the 46.40's...I realize I should have sold out in the 47.30's and taken my lumps...But I am human sometimes (DARN!!!) and I held on while cursing myself...It looked good again in the 46.90's but I wasn't about to add...Then it moved up over 48...I eventually sold at 47.92 which was above my limit by a few cents.
One thing to remember though is that when you screw up and still make money...Don't be happy about it...Of course, don't give the money back...But don't think you made a good trade either....That's Spike's lesson #12

If you had a substantial fixed rate mortgage, how far under your current rate would it have to drop for it to be worthwhile to refinance. How about 15yr vs. 30 yr.

Have to consider points, fees and prepayment penalties.
How many years are left on the current mortgage would enter into it too.
15 yr vs. 30 yr...I'm of the mind that I'd stretch it out...But that is not necessarily the best for each situation and goal.
Might consider tax consequences too.

Doug,
Very interesting. With the numbers I put in , for $20 more per month I could knock 14 years off a mortgage by lowering the rate from 6.125 to 4.95. With additional payments to principal along the way this is something to think about. The fixed rate of 4.95% for a 15 year mortgage was talked about as being very viable Tuesday on CNBC.

This afternoon:
QLD +.41
Then I bot QLD and gave it too much room...During that time I also bot QID +.36...Then I added to QLD...Fortunately the market came roaring back so I lost only .17 on the original buy but was able to get 1.14 on the add.
Tried something different today...was mostly watching 30 min charts rather than 1 and 5 min charts...Not sure I liked it too much

Low interest rates and bad banking policies are what caused the problem in the first place. So should the Fed lower interest rates to lend more money to delinquent creditors? No. Bite the bullet, raise interest rates, stop the fall of the dollar and inflation, stop all the government welfare giveaway programs, and make people earn their money.

Just wondering If I should get out of them for a little while they have been going up for some time now
Just taking a cursory glance at the charts I'd say they may both go up a bit more and then pullback
Missed the whole day since I'm on vacation...But it actually appears that there were quite a few good ones today
I leave town for a few days and you guys let the bottom drop out...Be back Wednesday night.

Well...My wife covered us as she did very well at Roulette...Also, my Wrong Way Craps betting did well last night...Although I'm sure the whole table hated me including the Croupier.
Anyway...even tho I was on vacation I sent out an email alert on Tuesday regarding this week's IIC 100 #15 PRGO.
They beat eps and rev ests. yesterday and 2008 and 2009 eps guidance was raised. Started out well today but after 1 1/2 hrs it faded a little and lingered around 34 the rest of the day....Up 2.06%

Triangles are formed when both the supply and demand for the stock are drying up. Prices are unable to rise but neither are they able to fall, there is an equilibrium between the buying and selling as is seen by the rising bottoms and the falling tops that form the triangle. This stalemate between buyers and sellers is finally resolved by a double top breakout in the case of a bullish triangle breakout, or by a double bottom breakdown in the case of a bearish triangle breakdown. This is one of the most reliable patterns out of all the patterns recognized by the system.

Okay! You've been touting KSU for a week now. SO that does it. I'm going to compare the two charts and we'll see what KSU has to offer these days. lol
KSU: Current price: $37.05. PnF likes it at $17. Sounds like the Kansas City Southern means South in price. lol
CSX: current price $50.26. PnF likes it to $69.
But . . . having said that . . . the weekly for KSU looks like it is going to break out with a new target of $52, provided KSU can clear $40 on volume.
Really both stocks have very similar charts.

A Leading Homebuilder Holds a Real Estate "Unauction"
http://gettopstocks.blogspot.com/2008/02/leading-homebuilder-holds-real-estate.html
By Steve Christ | Thursday, February 21st, 2008
They camped out all night in the cold. Wrapped up in sleeping bags and buried in parkas, the would-be home buyers bided their time, hopeful that the home of their dreams would soon be under contract.
And while that may have been a pretty common sight just a few years ago at the height of the housing bubble, on this particular night at least, the sight of so many people standing in line to buy a home was definitely an oddity. After all, the line that formed that night was in California, the epicenter of the housing bust.
But as you can imagine, what was going at that particular sales center was not necessarily normal either. The buyers were the participants in "The Unauction".
So what's an "unauction" you ask?
Well in short, it's just the latest bit of desperation to be tried by one of the nation's big homebuilders, DR Horton as they continue to grapple with the bursting of the housing bubble.
So what began with deep discounts during Christmas in July has now become a panic of "auction level pricing without the hassle".
DR Horton: The Nation's Biggest Homebuilder Stages a Firesale
The brain child of the nation's largest builder, D.R. Horton Inc. (NYSE:DHI), the unauction is "unlike any sale you've ever seen" according their ad. And with the unheard of discounts of up to 50% off in some 23 developments in Southern California, they may just be right. Buyer's, after all, stood to save as much as $320,000 on spec homes that simply weren't moving.
That firesale came just one week after D.R. Horton announced that it had swung to a 41 cents a share fiscal first quarter loss compared to a net income of 35 cents a share only a year earlier.
Revenues plunged at the Fort-Worth based builder to $1.71 billion from $2.8 billion a year ago, as homes closed fell 36% and the cancellation rate remained at a staggering 44%.
Said Chairman Donald Horton, "Lending standards continue to be more restrictive than during the previous year, and buyers continued to approach the home buying decision cautiously. We expect the housing environment to remain challenging."
But that challenging environment is nothing new to the likes D.R. Horton. After all, it was Horton's Donald Tomnitz that told investors last year that "I don't want to be too sophisticated here, but '07 is going to suck, all 12 months of the calendar year."
And as for 2008, it is really not looking much better, for D.R. Horton or for any of the other homebuilders for that matter.
The Homebuilders and the Housing Bubble Fallout
According to data released by the Commerce Department yesterday, the turmoil that hit the residential real estate market last year has continued in 2008 with housing starts for January remaining at their lowest levels in 17 year.
Construction began on 1.012 million homes in January, up 0.8% from December when the number of new housing units was its lowest since 1991, but down 28% from the year-ago period, which was as bad as Tomnitz says it was.
That makes the current spring selling season as critical as it has ever been, especially for builders with cash flow problems.
So is now the time to be bottom fishing in the builders? Well, not exactly.
The "unauction" is just the first of many firesales as the builders struggle to raise capital at all costs in a market that continues to decline.
That will undoubtedly crush margins even further as it continues to unfold and will leave investors out in the cold this go round as their share prices drop even further.
But it could be worse, you could be one of the people in those "unauction" developments that just saw the equity in their homes cut in half.
They will be out in the cold much longer than just a few nights.
A Note On Home Mortgage Rates
Despite massive rate cutting by the Fed, home mortgage rates have barely budged. That's because as powerful as the Federal Reserve is, it just can't simply jawbone the 30 year fixed rate lower the way that most people believe that it can.
In truth, it is actual market action, and not mere edicts that sets those rates. So while further rate cuts may indeed be in the picture, they may actually produce very little in the lower home mortgage rates that so many are hoping will help bail out the housing market.
In fact, according to the data released by the Mortgage Bankers Association yesterday, U.S. mortgage applications filed last week dropped 22.6% from the previous week, as interest rates on fixed-rate mortgages increased. That marked the biggest decline in more than four years as the highest mortgage rates in two months weakened demand for home buying and refinancing-proving that the Fed's ability to push mortgage rates lower is limited at best.
The bottom in housing is nowhere in sight.

Hey IBD...Please proof read your paper...Keri says today was a Naz Follow Thru Day...Even by your own statements on your site Q & A an FTD must have higher vol. than the 50 ADV...Wasn't even close.

Funny, after we sold -142 on the DOW and -27 on the NAZ and -17 on the S&P, the IBD today did not count it as a "distribution" day...
Really?

Well...Volume was lower on the DJIA SP500 NYSE IBD 6000...However, it was higher on The AMEX and Naz...I look for p/v but FTD's and DD's are a Fairy Tale that IBD just made up IMO
Wasn't around much today...traded QID early for some lunch money...bot CCC early and put a limit sell on and left...they came up and took me out while I was gone...Saw the last hour and bot BABY late in the 18.90's.

Hey Doug,
Just noting that you haven't given an update on how the IIC top 5 or top 10 have done in a while?
Hey Doug,
Just noting that you haven't given an update on how the IIC top 5 or top 10 have done in a while?
Because they have not done very well...Actually, I don't do the calcs and the guy that does them decided not to do the Top 5 this year.
However, if you must know the IIC 100 TOP 10 is -27% and the IBD 100 TOP 10 is -18% YTD.
But it really doesn't matter too much because I started a new feature on my Sunday Email to my subscribers earlier this year....Called the BEST OF THE IIC 100...As I've always said on Stockcharts...Look for the best fundamental stocks when they are technically ready.
On Sunday I sent out these to my subscribers:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
BEST OF THE IIC 100
This week my Favorites are: FCSX, FMCN, HANS, WBD
Others I placed on close watch are: ARD, AUY, AVD, BABY, BYI, CBI, CEDC, CTRP, FLR, FLS, HCBK, HWK, WATG, WMS
You can see daily charts of each (and all of the IIC 100) if you CLICK HERE (http://tinyurl.com/qjpd8)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I look at 100 charts so you don't have to.
Of course, I watch them all along with my other lists...But I realize eveyone doesn't want to watch a jillion stocks like I do.
Unbelieveable...I made .58 on BABY...I'm out
ASIA...I bot it 2 Friday's ago on report day...coming out of a flag type pattern now

Question: How is that in Monday's IBD they have TNH listed in Stocks Just out of Bases and TNH is listed in Stocks in Bases on page B7???
No wonder the Canslim Select Fund (CSSGX) is down 15.6% over the past 2 months.
Maybe you have to pay $10,000 to become Canslim Certified to figure it all out???
billyjoe
03-01-2008, 12:09 PM
Doug,
I think they meant to say TNH was caught off base and is currently in a rundown. For 199.95 you can get a list all stocks in the rundown situation. These have returned an astonishing 6994% in the years they have been tracked by the IBD data base.

Doug,
Do you trade much off the IIC 100 New Highs list? I'm doing some research on 52 week highs and might start a new thread.
-----------billyjoe
No I don't...I generally like to trade as stocks are heading towards new highs or a resistance point(e.g. pivot window on CwH's)...I have several scans that I run on stocks near new highs.
However, I did trade FCN on Friday after it reached a new high...I got some on a pullback. It came up on a New High scan I sometimes run at Stockcharts...The main reason I even ran it was that my regular lists were going nowhere.
Looks like Tuesday will be "LIBERAL GUILT" day

Just beautiful action today, wasn't it? Sure looks like the time to take C long, too. lol Even my CSX was down, and seems to be putting a handle on the weekly chart.
Just beautiful action today, wasn't it?
No...it wasn't...In the past 3 1/2 weeks I have made 19 buys (doing this from memory...but it is close)...Sold 17 for at least some profit...Although I'd be up if I had sold my 2 losers at the close (ASIA and CCC)...It sure seems like I have not made very much money during that time being right so often.
Just a week ago IBD claimed we were in a CONFIRMED Rally...The last few days they have said the RALLY is under pressure...Today the Nasdaq close was the lowest close since September 2006...Did I fall asleep and miss the Rally???
But Hey...My Crystal Ball says that they will tell us the MARKET IS IN A CORRECTION now....Duhhhh!!!

played one min technicals on QLD +.82
Well...since not a whole heck of a lot is going on with my Massive lists I decided to go back to January mode and concentrate on QLD/QID minute trades.
Made 5 trades...caught 4 outta 5 for an overall of 1.51 share.
If you have the time, patience and enough $$$ Day trading these 2 is not really that difficult if you are willing to accept small gains on each trade.
Where the heck is everybody???
My guess is that not too many are making $$$ so far this year...Most people including me look for longs and there are not too many to consider now...But those serious about investing should be constantly studying the market

IBD Question of the Week:
Last week we asked how a stock could be just out of a base but still in a base?
This week we ask...How is it that IBD says not to buy a stock that is more than 5% above its pivot point with one exception http://investorsbusinessdaily.com/askbill/SearchResults.asp?ID=1281&SubTopicID=2&code=BySubTopic&TopicID=5
Yet in Monday's IBD Inside the 100 on page B2 (7th paragraph) they say you should add to a position once it goes above 5% over the buy point???

Quite a change...lol
Made pocket change on COIN
Wasn't around much but early traded QID 2x and QLD 1x overall +.42, later DNR +.36 and heldover COIN which I bot late and will bail on early (at least that's the plan)
However...CCC is killing me :( Not to mention ASIA which is turning into an lth
Daylight Savings hit me today...I usually just automatically wake up at 5:30am Pacific...My plan was to sell COIN on the opening move at about 12.40-12.50...But I overslept and missed that...However I put in a stop on later at 11.80 so I lost about .35.
Early I dt'd the old reliables...QID 2x and QLD 1x on the 1 min technicals...Overall +.48sh...Since they are much closer in price nowadays I usually buy the same amount of shs. of each.
Still holding ASIA and CCC

Finally, Doug, it's official: the sky is falling. Sell everything you have now.
http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/SuperModels/SellStocksWhileTheSellingsGood.aspx
Here's an excellent quote from the article:
"In this context you can think of the Fed's move Tuesday to accept $200 billion in AAA-rated securities from banks and brokers in exchange for Treasurys as little more than a modest money-laundering scheme. Although it is accepting mortgage-backed securities for the first time, the Fed isn't taking any of the really bad stuff that's gotten investors into trouble, and its bond whitewashing service will last only a month. It buys time more than anything else."

I know who he is but I don't know him personally
I can't be around much during the day for a while...work stuff...However, this morn I traded the QID/QLD etf's 6x...got at least some gain 5/6...It is not a whole lot...but it adds up as I have found...Playing 1 min technicals is tricky and if the bottom falls out before you can react one loss may take 2 or 3 gains to even out...But it has been good ytd...It is almost like fishing in a barrel if you wait for everything to be just right(which I don't always do)...Still own ASIA and CCC
Played the ETF bit a few times today...worked out OK.
Took a walk on the WILD SIDE and dt'd BSC long...I bot and it went down...averaged down and then got out when it rebounded...It was a lunch money play and that's what I made...That burger w/ all the trimmin's was pretty good though

Well...as you can see the PV Pen, Rancho PV and South Redondo Beach were all up as were Malibu, Marina del Rey and Venice...Personally, I don't think the prime beach areas will be hit as hard although there probably are not as many sales as there once was.

For those that subscribe to my email you saw the article I posted about the wheat prices affecting bread, pizza etc.
There are other food items that have been going up too...coffee is skyrocketing.
But there is a way around it...COUPONS
If I ever get around to putting up my site http://SoCalCoupons.com at least I'll be able to help my fellow Southern Californians save $$$...Problem is I have access to too many coupons and I never seem to have the time to sort them all out.
But here is an example of how we save money with coupons.
Coffee 11 oz. is $5.49 at Vons
We use a buy one get one free coupon AND a $1.00 off coupon...Vons reinstituted its DOUBLE coupon program so the $1.00 off coupon is worth $2.00.
At the end of the day we end up paying $3.49 for 2 cans of coffee that would have cost $10.98 w/o the coupons...A savings of 68%.
If you are not picky about what you eat or the brand you can save a ton of money on food...In fact, I never buy sodas w/o a coupon.

Oop's...........
ABPI halted at 4:05pm on clinical results...They didn't sound that great
Down 69% after hours...Geez, sounds a bit harsh...Guess I'll skip lunch today
Next time I'll put it all on 29 black
VLO whacked a/h:
Valero Energy Corp. (VLO), which in January saw improving refining market conditions, projected first-quarter per-share earnings well below analyst estimates amid tight margins and outages at several plants.
Caught SEED for a quick trade the last 5 mins...Also, traded the ETF's 6x today...worked out pretty good.
Imagine my shock when CCC took off this morning...I finally saw green...At least for a while...I may have mentioned that I bot it on 2/22...I did dt it that day but my latest buy was on 3/5 at an avg. of 17.04...Since then it has been as low as 13.68...It was up over 4% today closing at 16.45 altho early it was up as high as 17.79.
China was up nicely today...FXI almost 5%...too bad my ASIA didn't jump aboard...I paid 11.97 for ASIA last month(eps day)...Has been as low as 9.82 since and closed today at 11.10.
I lost 67.56% today on yesterday's lunch money play ABPI...I actually did skip lunch yesterday after the news...But I'm in it for the long haul...LOL
The usual...traded etf's 6x today...Guess I'll keep doing it till it stops working...Also caught some bux on RMBS the last 5 mins
Hmm...RMBS kept going a/h...but who knew?
One thing I've been doing is watching some of the big movers of the day with about 20 mins left to see if any look like they'll have a decent run into the close...Caught SEED yesterday and RMBS today...Just trying max. 5 min plays.
Top Groups-Price Percentage Change-3mos.
Under the groups I'm listing some of the leaders.
Non-Metallic Mining +13.6%
CMP, POT
Gold & Silver +12.9%
KBX, GOLD, GBN, AEM, BVN, KGC, AUY, OZN, AZK, GG, HL, MFN, HMY, PAAS, LIHR, EGO
Railroads +6.7%
GWR, CSX, GBX, KSU, BNI, PWX, NSC
Retail-Department/Discount +4.9%
RVI, TUES, WMT
Construction-Supplies/Fixtures +3.4%
BXC, AMWD, BECN, AERT, TS, NWPX

Trading scared is usually not good for the account balance. And since you are a good trader, I doubt you are really "scared" when you hit the trade button... However, about the first hour's move- to say that you don't even want to watch it seemed odd to me. Based on your post, it makes me think that you are holding long positions that are at risk of suffering a short term peak of prices while you hold the bag. The realistic trade would be to play the downside, and I'm sure that's exactly what you did.
Were you trying to be empathetic to some audience? I was just wondering about your statement... It just seemed that if you were very sure it was going to go one way, you would be excited about that first hour, and trade accordingly...

As I have mentioned...I have 2 intermediate holds which I am down on...ASIA and CCC...I like the prospects on both though.
I actually expected more downside this morn than we got...I made the statement to emphasize my point of how bad I thought it would be...But as far as trading...It makes no difference to me which way it goes.
Overall...I'd say most investors are Longs...Including me until I got into the Ultra etfs a year and a half ago
The day started out crummy...lost .18 and then lost .42 on the etf's.
Regrouped and decided to look at Daily and one hour charts...went into QID in the 49.20's...put a wide stop on and took off after a while.
Later I trimmed 1/2 +.73, then 1/4 +1.01 and the final 1/4 +1.39...good thing too...look at one minute charts the last 3 days on QID and QLD...look at the final minute each day.
Missed GU 2x today cause I was too slow

Etf's again...2/1
Funny...I made exactly the same as I did yesterday...actually a bit more cause I made one less trade.
I've been buying the same amount of shs whether I buy QLD or QID...Obviuosly, that means throwing a lot more money up there at QLD...But it is working out as a very nice filler especially since I've been very busy and I have not had much time to study many stocks.

Doug,
Do you think IBD has changed their methods this year?

Have not really thot much about it...I still get the paper but I rarely look at it except for the Monday edition...I will change to Monday only when my renewal comes up.
But overall my opinion is that you can find some good ideas once in a while from IBD but their investing philosophy is archaic.
I hate to sound egotistical but I rather doubt that there are over 50 people in the whole world that understand Canslim better than I do...I just don't happen to agree w/ all of it...WON would've been smart to hire me for the $250 grand I offered to work for...Of course I would have been positive about the whole thing...with improvements rather than bashing...But such is life

9 etf trades 6/3...Well, at least I covered my commish...Guess it could've been worse...However, I did have time to update my homepage...LOL... http://DougGregory.com
Tomorrow you have to send in your IRS Extension Form...The idea is that you use the money you don't send till October to make more money in the market than the late payment and interest you'll have have to pay in October...Or so the theory goes.
The Late filing penalty is a KILLER...But if you send in the extension you don't have to pay that...
Plus, here's another little tip for the procrastinator types like me...On October 15th you don't have to actually send any money...You just have to file...Then you'll get a bill in December...The late payment and interest still accrue but you have once again dodged the Late Filing penalty...I had to pay up around the middle of December last year...since the market was graet from late April till late October...except for that summer blip...I figure I made out pretty good.
I've come to the conclusion that the best way to make money in the market is to JUST TELL EVERYBODY WHAT TO BUY...lol

That's a good idea...In fact, I'm thinking of having a Miss DougGregory.com contest...I could post all the entry photos and people could vote for their fave.
But I'll have to figure out a way to limit the voting to one time per person so guys like you don't vote for each one 100 times ;)

What good is it to buy a $20 put if the stock is $70 and going to fall to $20? The money is in buying the $70 put and when she falls to $20, you made $50 minus the cost of the put. In buying a $20 put, when she falls to $20, you put still has little or no value . . . .
Alternative energy . . . not economically viable at this time. Ethanol has produced higher gas prices, higher food prices, food shortages (on a worldwide basis), a lower standard of living for US citizens, and a lot of hot air from the politicoes. But I myself do not see the profit in a short position in these stocks just yet because it seems most likely the next president will continue the same agenda.

Despite the Federal Reserve's moves to cut short rates, loan rates are moving mostly higher with 30-year fixed mortgages jumping 30 basis points in the week to an average 6.04 percent. Yesterday's existing home sales report showed continued weakness in March. New home sales will be released tomorrow.
Traded JRJC RNT ZOLL early...did pretty well...Bot JST and heldover....Hope to bail early on JST
Had nothing but computer problems at home this morning so I couldn't
trade early.
But actually that worked out well because I would've sold JST from
yesterday at about a .60 or more loss...As it worked, out by the time
I got everything up I was able to sell JST for +1.79sh.
Late I lost a dime on a QLD DT.
Oop's...The IIC 100 was posted early but I had a work emegency before I could post a notice...Sorry

Doug,
I need real time quotes for free. I want them without opening an account with a broker. What would the stock market encyclopedia tell me to do?
Thanks in advance.

Just checking in from the High Seas...The stock market encyclopedia would tell you that there is no such thing anymore on individual stocks.
Some Indices, metals... yes...stocks no...FreeRealTime.com used to be free...But I'm not aware of any that do it anymore.

Doug you're the best stock market encyclopedia on planet earth. Thank you!
Got back and saw the last 2 hours...picked up some lunch money on GTI on a dt
NBB...Here's an idea...I know you said you were looking for FREE Realtime Quotes w/o opening up an account w/ a Broker...As I said I don't know of any Free sites left anymore.
However, there is a way to get RealTime Quotes and actually get paid for receiving them.
However, it does involve opening a brokerage account:
Open an account at Scottrade for $500.
Never trade in the account...There are no fees or trading activity minimums.
You get RealTime Quotes and they pay you interest on your 500 bux.
Admittedly the interest rate is peanuts...But it is about the same as the rate CitiBank pays on their Standard Savings Account.
Just a thot...Doug

Thanks, Doug. It's a nice suggestion . . . have considered investing $5.99 on that formerly free site you mentioned at the bottom of your posts. Scottrade is a possibility.
You're tops!

Actually he is! I use Scottrade Elite (download it, NBB) and get real time quotes on every stock list and also on demand. Super service. River

I must commend you on your IIC 100 and IIC Best of the week picks....outstanding list of stocks that are performing beyond belief........I changed up the way I monitor the lists. I fantasy traded your stock lists in my Google doc. I listed the IIC 100 and IIC BEST, as I do each week, and decided to watch the list daily and take profits by closing the individual stocks when they turned a positive result....unless the results were minimal....I figured instead of watching daily results with all positions open and just showing the difference between daily open and last, I'd try my hand at covering the stocks when they advanced and let the remaining ones open until they too advanced....Well I did a dismal job of predicting when to cover and when to leave the positions open...and it amazed me that 100 stocks left to run could perform as well as they are...As of my last look the IIC 100 are up 182% from the open on Monday....My total for the closed positons and the remaining open positons was 146%....leaving 36% on the table....
2% a week for any stock is awesome....that's doubling your money in one year...
great job Doug and thanks for sharing......hags
Not a real super day...Been busy lately however I was able to snag a
quick +.20sh on SNE.
I put a buy stop in on RCH...I wasn't aware that I was filled until it
was over $9.00 which would have suited me fine...But I ended up
waiting because there were people in my office...Then it went down to
the 8.20's...I added as it went up but now my avg. is 8.53 and it
closed at 8.26.
Plan on bailing early if it moves up...Doug

2% is a lot more if you compound...However...Blindly tracking the top 10...Top 20 or Best of the IIC 100 which I send each Sunday to my subscribers is not gonna work in real life...The BEST of the IIC 100 are the ones that I PERSONALLY think look good technically on Sunday...Sometimes I'm right and sometimes I'm wrong...I'm not a master technician like some but I look at each chart so my subscribers don't have to if they'd rather spend time having fun while I'm pouring over charts...LOL
But seriously...The IIC 100 overall will do well when the the market is moving up...no doubt about that...When the market is going down they will go down overall more than the indices....Thx...Doug
