IIC,
TASR is having big problems today which reminded me of KKD which also seemed all along to be too good to be true. Several months ago you mentioned that you didn't think much of TZOO and didn't know anyone using them. I don't either. Not to start any rumors but could TZOO become a similar situation down the road? I'm just thinking outloud , but there do seem to be parallels.

Wouldn't surprise me...but my favorite one was ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZBest Carpet
Looks like it woulda been better to just trade A/H this week.
This morn before work I caught NMTI -.08sh, VIDE +.30sh and CYBX +.36sh.
Daytrades went pretty good this week, however my "Stock of the Year"...COGT is down almost 4 bux since I bot it earlier this week.

Selling Dreams
Look at Page B7 of Monday's IBD. You'll see that, compounded, IBD claims a gain of 704.9% using CANSLIM since 1998.
I'd like to see the details on that...wouldn't you??? Why are the details such a BIG secret???
Now, look at Page A8. IBD claims a gain of 155% on the New America's since late 1998. I have neither the time or inclination to go back and verify that...so let's assume it's true. But, if you believe the claims on Page B7 you certainly wouldn't concentrate on New America's.
Let's take a closer look at the New America chart. If you take the 1st quarter 2000 highs of the New America's and the SP 500 you'll see that both are down 20% in the past 5 years. Not very impressive IMO. In fact, I urge IBD to either get their act together on the New America's or discontinue the column. Even a mediocre portfolio manager beats the SP 500 by 10%.
OK...So now let's look at the Friday edition of IBD on Page A17. Take a look at the IBD 85-85 Index chart. Notice that they claim that the 85-85 Index is up 70% since the lows in early 2002. But the Nasdaq is up 90% since the lows in late 2001.
Again...As Shania Twain would say..."That Don't Impress Me Much".
In fact, if you eliminate the 25% lowest rated Nasdaq stocks during that time, the remaining Nasdaq stocks gained 138%.
Another thing...Why does the 85-85 Index chart end over a year ago? What happened in 2004?.
The whole point is that anyone can twist the figures to meet their NEEDS and IBD NEEDS to sell papers.
My suggestion..."Buyer Beware"
Nasdaq at Support????

IIC,
Concerning IBD's claim of a 704% gain in canslim stocks since 1998.
Check all stocks back to 1998. Determine which qualify as canslim candidates. Check performance. If they tanked they obviously weren't canslim stocks. That can be verified by determining what canslim characteristics they didn't meet. Since virtually no stocks are 100% canslim, you can retroactively dismiss all that fail and accept those that perform well. I honestly believe that's how they come up with their numbers. If they would just have a "canslim" column each week listing stocks in a canslim portfolio and performance it could be proven, but they won't do that.
In three years I haven't found anyone other than Mr. Market posting buys and sells and results. Please let me know of anyone else doing this.
billyjoe
Well, in 2 of the Chatrooms I'm in I always post my buys/sells within 3 mins. That is not practical for me at Forums/Clubs/Groups though.

Maybe we should sell papers. Unlike IBD, we actually MAKE money...Hahaha!!!
IBD sucks in a lot of new investors. It didn't take me long to realize that Canslim was a joke.
Sorry that I have not been around...Major computer problems at home and I can't post here(I'm at work now)...also can't do a lot of things although I can get online...but no javascript, no html...Windows restore/fixes are not accessible, no online printing ,no stockcharts etc...
I have been attempting multiple fixes, but whatever hit me knocked out my Port Magic, Norton was destroyed among other things...so I installed PC-cillin which I think is much better.
Anyway, I am going to try a couple of things tonight...if that doesn't work, I'll reformat the hard drive and reinstall XP on Thursday. If that doesn't work, I'll just get a new computer.
Taking the week off as far as stocks...Best to all...IIC

Well, the reformat...worked out(did it at work so I could get some support...I found out what happened on Saturday...Hacked to the hilt)...Anyway, I bring it back home and now my monitor is the weirdest hue of blue...very annoying...tried everything...update drivers...the controls only make it worse...But I'll get somebody over here to fix everything on site.
Meanwhile, even though my computer is only 13 months old...I'm getting a whole new system next week...I have DSL on this one...will probably go cable on the other one...That way if one's messed up I can just switch to the other one.
Very frustrating when you have computer probs...I know just enough to screw things up more.
Hope all are doing well...IIC

...do you want to eat humble pie... Doesn't this mean he was proven wrong though?
Sorry to hear of your PC problems IIC. Norton Ghost is a wonderful thing, as are simple .bat files with Windows scheduled tasks to daily automate your backing up essential data to a second hard drive.
Doesn't this mean he was proven wrong though?
.
Why would that be wrong Spike? The indicators were way high at that point...I call that Overbought and possibly ready to correct...which it did...Thx, IIC

"eating humble pie" means you make an assertion and get proven wrong, thereby calling for you to 'eat humble pie'. You on the other hand made an assertion and were proven right, so the term 'eat humble pie' that Newborn used is incorrectly applied to your wonderful predictive stock skills :D

Now I really feel stupid...I didn't even know what Humble Pie meant to be honest with you...I guess it's a Midwest or East Coast term...LOL
Anyway...wonderful news...I got EVERYTHING fixed finally on my home computer...What a NIGHTMARE....A week from Hell!!!...Although there's always a Silver lining...At least it got me off my duff to install everything on the laptop I got for Christmas. Also, I'm getting a new Desktop delivered in a couple of days too...Now I don't need it...but it will be good to have a backup in case this type of thing ever happens again.
BTW: I mentioned that this thing disabled my Norton when it hit. I have
PC-Cillin now. You might want to give it a try??? I've known about it for a couple of years. It even cleared up some viruses on several friend's computers last year when Norton and MacAfee wouldn't.
They offer a free scan, no registration required. Even when I had Noton I would periodically run their freebie and it usually found something that Norton didn't.
Here is the addy if you'd like to run a free scan:

Humble Pie an Easterner's expression??????? Now I am insulted!!!!
How about a SOUTHERN expression? I just live in Wisconsin because I married a Swiss Miss--kinda been stuck here since.
(Just kidding you about being insulted [:-)] )
Seriously, thank you for the PC-chillin address. I have Norton and it isn't that good. No wonder Symantec stock is dropping like a rock . . . .
Spike, how do you get those icons to come up into the text?

Also, even though it is a pain...it might be a good idea to reformat your hard drive every once in a while. My computer has not run this fast for months. It's a Dell Precision 360...got it for Christmas 13 months ago. I'm always fooling around trying to tweak things...unfortunately I usually have no idea what I'm doing...now all those tweaks that I probably screwed up are gone :)

The answer is yes. Trend Micro is listed on the Nasdaq as "TMIC". It's trading at $49.61, and has made a steady climb upward for the past year. Judging from the excellent superiority of their Virus scanner software, I'd say that this a stock to consider. I will ad it to my watchlist.

I aquired the habit of talking to myself at work. I couldn't find anyone else intelligent enough to carry on a conversation with.

I still have a great undersatnding of the busness and stay up to date on the technology side as a hobby. Try this web address for industry knowledge:

Actually, I didn't...Saw it early but was waiting for a p/b...but I had to hit the road early for work...so no trades today.
I really think their donuts are over rated though...about as bad as this woman Michelle who was just thrown off of American Idol...but if I had had the time I might have gone in for a quickie. For daytrades I usually play the news(great when you see the news R/T...although that takes a lot of patience)...if it is
pre-m news(like this one) then I usually wait for a lo vol p/b and then wait for a possible 2nd move on vol...somewhere after 1/2 hr or more...IIC

IIC,
I'd like you to talk a little about COGT. I know you own some. I have been watching it the last few days since you mentioned it, and it looks interesting. What kind of prospects do you see for it in the next six months, allowing that the DJIA will be at, say, 9900 in June, 2005. Do you have this as a buy recommend? How much confidence do you have it this company? And tell me anything else you think relavant.

I anticipated they would would beat and increase guidance. Rumor has it anyway...but you can't count on rumors.
I'm not pleased that I couldn't get responses to my emails from the company and their IR firm. So I called them...but that was like talking to a wall.
Finally found out that they will announce on Feb 22. Seems like that is a bit late which makes me wonder. I only bot a small amount in the low 32's...then when it tumbled I had all those computer probs...so I didn't trade at all that week.
My plan was to add on the dips...but, I'm too unsure about it right now...so I'm just gonna hold my stake unless it starts acting better or I can find out anything newsworthy.

There can be few things more dear to the heart of a college aged boy then "all you can drink for 3 bux." Aside from that, Johnny Carson was a real gentleman who will be missed tremendously.
Here are some others that I will be watching on Monday...Now, if I could just figure out which one(s) will take off:

Tough Day...but I didn't see anything after the first 2 hours...Was able to catch 3 dt's before work... TTN -.18sh, NGPS +.19 and GERN +.19.
Actually on the DT front I'm doing OK playing for pennies this year...but my longer term holds pretty much s*ck.

Hey IIC, maybe this DT thing is what you do best! Wise man once told me too find your nitch and stick with it. From reading some of your posts you’re doing well with your DT’s. Nothings wrong with that, after all your making money right? Let me ask you a question before you pull the trigger do you know what your up/down target is on your DT’s? What about your longs? I bet you have a better routine for your DT’s!!!

I bet you have a better routine for your DT’s!!!
Many of my DT's are based on news...I normally have my Buy screen up. When I see news I click over to a one min. chart...If it reacts well I may just go ahead and buy...then I go read the news details...while also trying to watch the P/V on the chart. Hard to explain...but once I think the run is over...then I sell...I'm rarely right on my timing though. But it's an ODDS game. I don't mind a brief tick down on vol. 'cause I believe there are pre-arranged deals...but if a runner comes down on multiple sells then I usually sell.
There was one the other day that had some 25k-50k sh block sells on down tix...I just sold it 'cause of that...It was MIPS on Friday...I lost 4 cents a sh...but then it tumbled.
Other DT's are based on early(pre) news...I wait for the gap and then a lo vol p/b...If I am watching the right one, I may catch a second vol. move...But some luck is involved...not so much buying at the right time...more so, watching the right stock at the right time...I miss the majority of moves because I'm watching the wrong stocks.
I never have a sell target in mind if it goes up...I usually want 30+ cents a sh...but if I'm wrong right off the bat...I don't want to lose more than 2%...although, obviously it happens...IIC

Wow, that sounds like a plan IIC. Do you have Direct Access? If you don’t mind me asking what is your round trip airfare on a position? Spike turned me on to IB 1.00 in 1.00 out on 100 shares. This is an edge for DT’s??

Runner, IIC
Would you agree with this statement: 100 shares ain't worth foolin' with.
100 shares X .30 on a daytrade = just $30 before commisions. And it isn't easy to grab .30 on a daytrade either. I always wrestle with 1000 shares or more. But 1000 can be unwieldly on low volume stocks.
IIC, you're the expert. What do you say?

Yes...I have heard good things about IB...Some of my buddies use it.
I'm paying 14 bux on market and limit orders R/T.
If I was to do this F/T I would get Direct Access...but I don't have it.
Most of my DT's were between 200 and 3000 shs...Avg. during my 3 mo. experiment was 300-600. Now, it is 800-1200shs on avg...with up to 5,000 shs.
But it depends on the price of the stock a lot as well as how comfortable I am with it.

IIC, you're the expert. What do you say?
I generally would not buy only 100 shs unless I was playing with some extra cash...but then 100 shs of GOOG at $200 would be more than pocket change...at least to me...But then again, I wouldn't buy a stock like GOOG.
But, contrary to your statement...I am not the Expert...If you had BOT 100 shs of GOOG at 100...then it woulda been nice...I'll take an 8-10 grand gain any day...although it did take longer than a day...Best, IIC

New-Born, some Day Traders look at it like time is money. .20 or .30 for l0 minutes of time is not a bad trade off. I was implying that commissions and execution for this style of trading is very important. Sure 1000 shares @ .20-.30 is not bad for 10 minutes of work. Would you agree with this? Many will hit their targets by 10:00 and be done with it. They may hit it again around 2:00-3:00. Sure position sizing in day trading is just as important as any other style….

Yes, I agree that a $300 gainer for 30 minutes or less of "work" is great. I'd like to do it everyday! I know I lack the market savvy to do it every day. I need a mentor. IIC has many years in the market (anybody that can remember the '70's investments is a "seasoned" investor). It's as easy to him as eating a piece of cake.
But I do like Interactive Brokers. They seem to cater to more serious investors like you, IIC, Spike and me. I still have a Scottrade account because I am sitting on a large chunk of Canadian stock that I do not want to take my eye off of for ten days or so. But first real chance I get I am leaving Scott for IB.
I also like to hear IIC talk about his daytrades because I want to learn how to do it more proficiently.
Both of you add a lot to this forum. Thank you and keep sharing!

It is tough this year...If you DT you need to decide what your criteria will be...News is just one...It can get pretty boring watching useless headlines...but if you are patient you could try that.
I'm doing pretty good on DT's...But my BIGGEST mistake seems to be buying something that "sorta" meets my criteria just so I'm in...Usually doesn't work out so well on those.
Today, I scratched on DNDN and I lost .34sh on PACT...neither were good trades...but it happens. After 2 days...I'm just about flat for the week on 7 daytrades...IIC

My goodness you all must laugh at my awesome grammar. If I don’t have a spell checker thing I’d really be lost, never did well in school. Hey here is a general question. How much does having a college education affect a trader or investors performance? Does it increase the potential of doing better than one with out any college?

Okay, Runner, you're still better than MEA, but please, don't give him any more competion.
Success is counted in dead Presidents; not in spelling or grammatical prowess.
However, college does teach one how to study, and how to think analytically. On the other hand, investing is a skill, and not all people have the knack for it. Some good plumbers make lousy roofers; and some good students make lousy investors.

Simpletons make great traders cuz they follow the KISS theory :D
WITS...I like the recent base on lo vol. Some say there is a CwH...more visible on a weekly chart.
I've tied up a lot of $$$ in this. I did not play it right...but if I make 50% in one year on it...then I won't feel too bad.
EPS projections are extremely optimistic...If they don't beat...Well, my wife's IRA may be toast.

Okay, a year of nagging, a couple of Martha Stewart 'buy WITS' tips via your thread, a couple 48 count boxes of Alka Selter, and a spell check later, and I think I am going to buy WITS this morning. "Thanks."

IMergent Had Record 2Q Revs; Net Beats First Call >IIG
OREM, Utah (Dow Jones)--iMergent Inc. (IIG) saw record quarterly revenue in the second quarter as a result of specific programs implemented to offset what is typically a seasonally slow sales period.
In a news release, the company reported second-quarter revenue of $31.4 million versus $17.7 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2004.
Net income rose to $3.1 million or 24 cents a share, which beat Thomson First Call's mean earnings estimate of 14 cents a share. In the year-ago quarter, net income was $1.5 million or 12 cents a share.
IMergent said sales execution across all geographic regions exceeded the company's expectations in the latest quarter, and it experienced exceptionally strong results internationally. It said it held a record number of 177 workshops this quarter, including 32 workshops in the U.K., Australia and New Zealand.
IMergent said it now expects full-year revenue growth in 2005 to range from 30-35% over fiscal 2004. The company accelerated the timing of some international workshops into the second quarter that were originally planned for the third quarter.
Consequently, third quarter fiscal 2005 revenue is expected to be lower than fiscal second quarter 2005 revenue, yet to exhibit continued substantial year-over-year growth compared to fiscal third quarter 2004 revenue, the company noted. Sequentially higher revenue level is anticipated in the fiscal fourth quarter 2005, it added. Previous outlook had been for 20 to 30 percent revenue growth in fiscal 2005.
In addition, IMergent said positive operating leverage is expected to continue with the annual net income growth rate to possibly exceed the annual revenue growth rate.
iMergent provides eCommerce products and services to entrepreneurs and small businesses enabling them to market and sell their business product or idea via the Internet.
Your the man have a great day & weekend

Geez!!! This Tsutae Kamada from Tradingmarkets.com sure knows how to cover all the bases...read it closely...He can't be wrong.
Diamonds Trust (AMEX-DIA - News) finished just above the 38.2% retracement level to avoid five consecutive losing weeks. Notice, the 14-period RSI is improving. We may be seeing a recovery rally next week. If this current level does not hold, the issue may test the prior declining trendline.

Note: There are actually many more levels that come up in my scans...both Support and Resistance...but I try to limit them to levels that could realistically be reached in the short term...otherwise, the list would be too long. For example, the QQQQ resistance levels in the 40's are still there...but I really don't think we will be approaching them any time soon. Also, as time goes on, the significance of far away levels diminishes. Of course, sometimes i get carried away and list more levels.

Regarding an exact opposite of AIRT, do you know at what point a stock such as GMSV is off the pinksheets? They are giving penny stocks a bad name. Seriously ,there must be a point of no return. I wonder if they have any guidelines.

I thought it might be interesting to see how Fortune has done. Below, are the 7 stocks featured. Even though the article was written prior, I have listed the Closing price on Sept. 3rd-Closing price on Feb. 4th-Intraday high price during the period. The one's with an * reached their high on Feb. 4th.
4 up, 3 dn...and only BDY was down a significant amount. The overall average % gain if you bought one share of each was 14.5%
BDY 24.82-14.33-24.99
SYMC 24.35-23.43-34.05
ERTS 48.25-68.12-68.24*
THO 26.49-35.80-37.99
EAC 29.70-39.34-39.57*
FRX 42.80-41.50-49.10
PHM 59.86-70.72-70.85*
Compared to most of the major averages the list did well. During the same time frame the following indices were:
Naz Composite +13.1%
NYSE +10.9%
AMEX + 18.3%
DJIA +4.4%
SP 500 +8.1%

Trading Wisdom:
Temperament costs traders more than ignorance. Learn to master your emotions and execute trades based on logic and probabilities. Never use the term “hope” to describe a trade. If you don’t know “why” a stock is going to go up or down, you shouldn’t make the trade. Hope is not part of the equation.
This one from Uncle Al:
It has been my experience that competency in mathematics, both in numerical manipulations and in understanding its conceptual foundations, enhances a person's ability to handle the more ambiguous and qualitative relationships that dominate our day-to-day financial decision-making.

Another tough question that I don't have the answer to.
However, I just ran a scan of stocks that are 90%+ off their highs. That doesn't necessarily meet your criteria though. Nothing is worth mentioning from that scan...but BKHM popped up with one of the worst charts I've ever seen in my life.
Another thing you could try, although you'll have to look at a lot of charts is to run a scan of the lowest Relative Strength stocks. You'll find some of what you are looking for in a scan like that...Sorry, I couldn't be more help...IIC

IIC, I’ve been working on a database. I’ve mainly been just inputting historic data, but I guess one could set one up for earnings per share. I use Access for my database and excel for the charts. Very simple and fast, I can download the data I need from yahoo and import it into my DB. I guess using this thing is only limited to what you can think of!!

Runner,
Thanks, yes that's something close to what I'm thinking. A great chart would be price chart with earnings chart on top of it. Points could be set at future earnings dates. If you can find consensus earnings and potential surprises, theoretically, you might guess at the price reaction based on past price reaction to differing levels of earnings.

Doug, don't know If you have ibd feb. 7th. but In stocks In the news nyse [lev] Is about to hit It's 2yr. low and 2 times that low would be 32 also It's new high on the naz [tcbi] has broken thru 11 and 2 times that would be It's also just shy of It's new high.I have been watching this for some time but by the time I find It It's to late. To be a winner In the market we need to be early. Take a look at other stocks and 2 times thier 2 year low seems to create a good move up and goes on to a new high or forms support untill the move up. Hope you can understand what I'm trying to say or am I smoking something funny. Hope your wrong on a BEAR this week.

One thing I like to look for is EPS increasing at a lot higher rate than Revenue...To me, this could mean that they are getting much better at controlling costs and theoretically becoming more "business efficient"...IIC

Dec. consumer credit rises $3.1 billion
Consumer credit shows a far less-than-expected increase in the last month of 2004, Fed report shows.
February 7, 2005: 3:32 PM EST
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. consumer credit outstanding rose a less-than-expected $3.1 billion in December, capping a year of straight monthly increases after a large upward revision to November's data, the Federal Reserve said Monday.
The December rise undershot Wall Street expectations for a $7.7 billion monthly increase, but followed a much stronger November result than first reported.
November's reading was revised to a $2.0 billion increase from its initially announced $8.7 billion decline, which had been described as the largest monthly fall on record.
After the revisions, Fed data showed December's increase as the 13th consecutive month of rising consumer credit outstanding. Consumer debt levels rose in every month of 2004, for a total yearly increase of 4.5 percent.
Both revolving and non-revolving credit levels increased in December to total $2.104 trillion.
Non-revolving credit, which includes closed-end loans for cars, tuition, boats, vacations and other items, rose at an annual rate of 2.0 percent in December. Revolving credit, which measures credit and charge card activity, rose at a more modest 1.4 percent rate.

OK...now what is there to prevent another lawsuit???
Who wants to take the lead???
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. (Feb. 12) - McDonald's Corp. will pay $8.5 million to settle a lawsuit accusing the fast-food giant of failing to inform consumers of delays in a plan to reduce fat in the cooking oil used for its popular french fries and other foods.
BanTransFats.com, a nonprofit advocacy group, sued McDonald's in California state court in 2003, alleging the company did not effectively disclose to the public that it had not switched to a healthier cooking oil.
In September 2002, McDonald's announced it would lower trans fat in its cooking oils and said the switch would be completed in five months. In February 2003, McDonald's announced a delay. The lawsuit accused the Oak Brook, Ill.-based company of failing to adequately inform consumers of that delay.
The agreement announced Wednesday requires McDonald's to pay $7 million to the American Heart Association to use the proceeds to educate the public about trans fats in foods. Heart-clogging trans fat is made when manufacturers add hydrogen to vegetable oil - a process called hydrogenation.
Wednesday's settlement also requires McDonald's to spend $1.5 million publicizing that it has not followed through on its 2002 pledge.
Additionally, the company will pay $7,500 to BanTransFats.com and $7,500 to Katherine Fettke, who had filed a separate complaint against McDonald's and has also agreed to settle.
McDonald's has reduced the amount of trans fat in its Chicken McNuggets, Crispy Chicken and McChicken sandwiches, said spokesman Walt Riker.
He said the company is working to reduce trans fat in its other fried foods.
"We're continuing to test. We want to make sure we get it right for our customers,'' he said.
Dolby labs looks like a good one to me. Great track record and product recognition.

Rise and Fall of JOBS
Lawyers To 51job.com: You Mean There's Gambling Going On Here?
Posted by Perry Wu
How glorious for a Chinese company to be listed in the United States! You have access to all that money from hapless American investors. And you can be a company like 51job (JOBS) with nothing but a website, and if you meet the right investment banking people you gain access to all those tens of millions of American dollars.
But what the Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away.
If you haven't heard yet, 51job, the online Chinese job website, delivered a shocking report last week. The CEO, Rick Yan announced on an analyst conference call that there would be much less revenue in the fourth quarter than 51job had originally expected.
Yan reasoned that this was because Chinese Human Resources departments had somehow all used up their budgets earlier than expected. By December, according to Yan, these HR departments had essentially run out of money and had no more money to spend on 51job's classified ads.
Investors, very much unconvinced by Yan's reasoning, promptly kicked more than one-third of 51job's market value out of the air. The stock now trades at a shadow of its former high of over US$50.
And now it is high noon for the American lawyers. Within 48 hours, attorneys from firms all over America purporting to represent aggrieved investors began to issue press releases promising to punish 51job.
Like the famous "there's-gambling-going-on-here?" Casablanca line, the lawyers were saying, "You mean there's misrepresentation going on with Chinese Internet companies?"
Whenever a company's stock sharply declines, you can be sure that there will be many American lawyers on standby ready to pounce. But this is especially ridiculous. This is a Chinese Internet company we're talking about. And the market was valuing this company at more than $US 1 billion not too long ago.
Chinese Internet companies (and pretty much most non-American companies) listed in the United States have a great advantage over similar types of companies doing business in the US. You see, if you are a company like 51job, your stock is being bought and sold by people who know very little of the day-to-day dealings in China. Most of these investors have never walked past a Shanghai subway newspaper stand hawking 51job paper-based classifieds. Most of these investors have never sat in a Beijing mini-bus whose seat cushions are emblazoned with 51job's logo. And most investors know nothing about the daily Chinese-language online forum postings that say both good and bad things about 51job and its rivals like Zhaopin.com, Sohu.com (SOHU), Netease.com (NTES), and the hundreds of other smaller specialized job websites. American investors are in a bubble [sic].
So if you are an American investor, you rely on the reports issued by analysts in the ivory towers of Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Beijing. You read the news reports from foreign journalists based in China who often need translators to understand what is being said in press conferences and whose greatest desire is to get out of China as soon as possible so they can win a Pulitzer for war coverage in Afghanistan. You rely on the sanitized press releases issued via BusinessWire and PRNewswire on behalf of these listed firms. You are also relying, to a large extent, on the "laws of business" operating the same in China as they do in America. You are hoping that just because "GAAP" is flung around on a Chinese prospectus like a used napkin on the side of a hotpot table that you can get a firm grasp of a business in China.
China's business environment is constantly shifting. No news report, book, analyst's briefing, or conference call can give a more-than-half picture of the environment on the ground in China's different provinces.
Many of China's business sectors are booming. But with this boom comes rough seas and unexpected twists. If you are an investor in China's tech sector and you do not expect turbulence, go put your money under a mattress.
If poor accounting practices are found to blame in 51job's decline, than shame on them. But if their only fault was riding the wave, then shame on the investor.

IIC, could you fix the layout of the text on your site's pages so that the width of the text automatically adjusts to the width of one's browser window. What you have now makes it pretty hard to read the very wide lines of text.

Sorry...I don't know how to do that...Although I will try as you are not the only one who has mentioned it. You must have a monitor of less than 19"???
The host I use is really a beginner's type setup...I can mix html with regular type and mix Java/non-Java but I am using the preformatted setup...don't know how to use the Free Form.
I will check into it...If you use a a smaller size on your Contol Panel/Display/Settings that would probably do it...but I shouldn't expect people to change their display just for me. I use 1024x768 on a 19" monitor at home and it fits just right. But I know what you mean as I use 800x600 on a 17" monitor at work and it is a pain...although I rarely look at the site at work.
There is another alternative I just thought of...I will give it a try next week.
Sorry, I'll see what I can do...Best, Doug(IIC)

I think you must place the text in an HTML table, or use what are called CSS (style sheets), to determine the minimum and maximum width of the lines of text in a given series of text paragraphs. The result you want is for the width of the text lines to adjust to the width of the browser's window (not to the size of the screen). Look at most websites, and you'll see that the text layout has this feature.

I know what you are talking about...but now I need to learn how to do it...But actually, I have had probs in the past with Yahoo forums using a 17" monitor w/ 800x600. Some of the post text is covered by ads...Well...You gave me something to work on...Thx

Doug,
Why the big drop AH?
In the report, it mentioned the non-wager website at mainland China. A such web in Hongkong may be a better idea, since horse betting is not legal (at least for now) in mainland. IMHO, this brag can be ignored.

As far as I see UBET missed by a penny...which is 33%. They reaffirmed guidance though for 2005...but that is not a big deal. The main reason I sold those 2 is because I believe the market is headed down in the near future. I want to trim more of my holdings in coming days unless I see something change.
Unfortunately, I will miss the entire day on Tuesday as I have to hit the road prior to the open...IIC
BTW: They have Hong Kong Racing:

ExxonMobil Becomes World's Most Valuable Company Friday, February 18, 2005
http://www.foxnews.com/images/foxnews_story.gif NEW YORK — Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM (javascript:stockSearch('XOM');)) Friday knocked General Electric Co. (GE (javascript:stockSearch('GE');)) from its perch as the world's most valuable public company ranked by stock market capitalization.
Riding the tide of high oil prices, tight U.S. refining capacity and market enthusiasm for its dynamic cash flow growth, Exxon Mobil shares have risen more than 40 percent over the last year, outperforming all of the major U.S. stock indexes and GE by nearly 4 to 1. GE is up just 10.3 percent over the same period.
Exxon Mobil shares, after touching their latest in a string of all-time highs, closed up 2.2 percent at $59.41 on the New York Stock Exchange (search (javascript:siteSearch('New York Stock Exchange');)), giving it a market cap of $383.27 billion, according to Reuters data. GE, meanwhile, ended down 0.42 percent at $35.88 with a market value of $379.33 billion.
GE, a provider of everything from light bulbs, mortgages and sitcoms to jet engines and power-plant turbines, held court as the most valuable company for the better part of 10 years, and had been so for the past three years in a row. It endured periodic hiatuses in 2002, 1999 and 1998 when New Economy fervor vaulted Microsoft Corp. (MSFT (javascript:stockSearch('MSFT');)) to the top spot.
google_ad_client = 'foxnews_440x100';google_ad_width = 440;google_ad_height = 100;google_ad_format = '440x100_pas_abgn';google_safe = 'high';http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/pagead/imp.gif?client=ca-foxnews_440x100&event=noscript
Microsoft is now a distant No. 3 — fully $100 billion behind the two leaders. Microsoft finished down 0.66 percent at $25.48 on Nasdaq.
GE, built over decades through an aggressive acquisition strategy and a determination to be No. 1 or 2 in all of its markets, has held a position among the five largest U.S. companies going back through the 1980s, according to Standard & Poor's.
This is not the first time a company bearing Exxon's name has held the top spot. Predecessor company Exxon Corp. (Exxon bought Mobil in 1999) ranked atop the S&P 500 at the end of 1990 through 1992 when the first Iraq war sent oil prices rising.

IIC,
Do you have any idea why WLK tanked an hour or two after its oustanding earnings report? It started breaking out up maybe 5% or more before the tumble began. BJ must think it will be corrected as he has picked it again this week in the contest.

No I don't...but the upside vol at the end of the day was encouraging...but something is fishy...Why are insiders selling 33 shs each?
Anyway...I don't like the fact that one entity owns 80% of it(if I'm reading right)

IIC,
I just stumbled upon a great and easy way to pick stocks. Buy stocks with the name "California" or "L.A." in them. Two stocks I've been tracking for months , but never did buy are LCAV and CDIS. Being from California , you probably already knew this investing technique. Next time I'll be ready.
billyjoe
OK so LCAV is from Cincinnati , it still has an L and an A in the symbol and the C could be California , spooky isn't it?

If it does good it counts. If it tanks , it didn't fit the rules.

Home detention phase for Stewart draws near
By Jim Fitzgerald
Associated Press
February 26, 2005
KATONAH, N.Y. -- She will be able to return to work and start drawing her $900,000 salary again, and she will be free to throw lavish house parties -- as long as she doesn't invite any criminals.
Martha Stewart will also be wearing the must-have accessory for the convicted felon on the go: an electronic anklet that will allow authorities to monitor her movements.
After five months in prison in West Virginia, Stewart will be released next weekend to her 153-acre estate in the rolling horse country 40 miles north of midtown Manhattan. There, for another five months, she will serve the home detention portion of her sentence for a stock scandal.
The woman behind a billion-dollar homemaking empire will be confined to one of several houses on her estate in Katonah, except for 48 hours a week for "gainful employment," said Chris Stanton, chief U.S. probation officer in New York.
Stewart, 63, who also has homes in Connecticut, Maine and the Hamptons, chose the Katonah estate, which she bought in 2000 for $16 million, to be her prison away from prison until August.
Authorities will use the anklet and random phone calls to enforce the ban on going outside during nonworking hours.
As for employment, besides running Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia and writing a column for her magazine, Stewart can prepare for the two TV shows she will be starring in -- a revival of her daily homemaking show and her own version of "The Apprentice." Her contract with her company says that her salary, which was suspended while she was behind bars, will be reinstated during home detention.
It has not yet been established whether she will commute to Manhattan, travel to her TV studio in Westport, Conn., or work at home. The details will be worked out with her probation officer in the first few days after she gets out.
After being convicted, Stewart expressed the hope that she would be out of prison early enough to plant a spring garden, and there has been talk that she might use the grounds or her huge new greenhouse to tape gardening segments for her show. But that would require a town filming permit and no application has been filed, said Alexandra Costello of the town of Bedford, which includes Katonah.
While confined, Stewart will be free to entertain colleagues, neighbors, friends and relatives as long as they are not criminals. Convicted felons are not allowed to consort with convicted felons.
WAIT...that means she can't hang out with any of her "close" friends!!!

I was just reviewing the Feb. SSS(Same-Store-Sales)...overall it is somewhat encouraging. AEOS, BEBE, PLCE, DRBN and WTSLA came in w/ some nice numbers.
Overall, vs. last Feb's #'s they were not really so hot though...+4.9 on the 75 stores I track...last Feb...it was +6.8%. if you look at the first 2 months and annualize the avg...it looks good...but you really can't do that since the summer months always drag it down.
In reading the news the last few days I was enthusiastic...but now I am not so sure...IIC

Coleman wins this week's Briefing.com Trading Call of the Week for telling us that JDA Software (JDAS) shares would run hard and fast as a secondary play in the retail software group after SAP announced plans to buy Retek (RETK). Traders who made it to work on time and listened to Coleman's advice scored as much as a 14% gain on JDAS shares in about two hours. (See Monday's comment in the Archive at 9:51 a.m.) So, we had to ask Coleman which software stock he's eyeing next. He came back to us with Witness Systems (WITS), maker of software companies use to capture customer contact data and to optimize workforce performance. For Coleman's comments on WITS
Will be on the road all day tomorrow.

IIC, pertaining to the MOMO lists you post, is there a way to play these stocks? I mean, just because a stock has a runup one day it doesn't mean it will continue to do the next. I was just wondering and I any feedback would help.
Thanks

I am particularly interested in the one's that recently pulled back and still are in the top 5% of my RS database...then if they make a move on vol they show up. The criteria is Top 5% of my RS database, up at least 2% on at least 1.5x ADV.
Many are extended...I don't even look at those myself. I further look at how the group they are in is doing. I really don't find that many that I like...but it takes me less than 1 min to run the scan and then a few mins to scan the charts. After that I may only have a couple that I really want to check out. I used to pick some I liked to see if they would pullback in the near future...but that is time consuming and I don't do that too much anymore.
I know different people use the list different ways...but I am not sure how. Actually I run a lot of different scans for my personal use. After I run my scans, then I do my DD and set up my watchlists. I will never even come close to buying the majority even on my refined lists...but I can watch them and since I am at least somewhat familiar with them by that time, I can buy at the point I am waiting for...if it happens AND if I happen to be at the computer if it does happen.
My favorite scan is the recent new high pullbacks...but I never post it because rather than do today's after market one's...I prefer to do it during the first half hour or so after the market opens...and there is no time to post them because I am looking at so many charts.
Since I'm pretty busy lately I have pretty much put my news play daytrades on hiatus.

Well, I missed the whole market day...now I see IBD has the Naz close at 2065 and the rest of the world has it at 2061 including the Nasdaq itself...Anyway, I ran my scan with each...the only difference would be first level resistance which is 2063 or 2066(if I input IBD's fig.) Geez, I pay these people over a grand a year...I would expect that they could get the Naz close right.
The Naz closed at last night's quoted Strong Support...which I quoted at 2062-2065...The Q's closed 3 cents below Medium Support...Tomorrow should be interesting.

I posted this elsewhere in response to energy prices:
I just went to http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl
In 1976 I paid .69 gal for gas...2 days ago I paid 2.28 gal...Less than the rate of inflation...According to the calc. at this site I should have paid 2.31...What is the BIG Deal???
I think the Big Deal is the volatility...Just like the markets in many other things. I own 2 SUV's and I have a Co. SUV...I had a '78 Camaro that got 8 mpg City/11 Highway...Am I better off w/ 2 Escapes that get over 20 mpg and an XTERRA that gets 14 mpg...I think so.

Doug,
IMHO, oversold and RSI are not enough to catch the turn. Combining with MACD bullish divergence might do.

You might be right...my scan is very simplistic...In fact all my scans are. They are just a starting point. Look at the Cup w/ Handles and flat bases I post every week...Not many of them will break out...I just offer scans as a starting point.
Doug, remember how stocks were looking in the late '70's? http://mrmarketishuge.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
Follow-up to my post:
I have nothing against trying to develop alternate energy. But I think there are some scare tactics going on. How much oil is there? Will we run out in the next 200 years? I have no idea...But I can see the point of developing alternate forms of energy...but I can't buy the increased price of gas complaint.
Adusted to 1996 dollars the price at 2.07 gal today is equivalent to 1.70 gal in 1996...which is right where it was.
Lets use 1996 dollars to compare gas prices back to 1949....The reason I'm using these dates is because of the chart below....which only goes to 2003...but I converted the figure for 2005 using the CPI on the present price of 2.07 back to 1996.
In 1949 the price of gas was 1.55 gal in 1996 dollars...so, after 56 years the price has increased .15 gal in 1996 dollars or 10%.
If the price of gas followed the CPI from 1949 till 2005 the price of gas would be 2.08 gal...Pretty darn close, isn't it?
My calcs are not exact because I have to eyeball the chart...But the reality is that gas is not overpriced vis-a-vis inflation over 56 years.
http://www.cato.org/dailys/images/09-06-03.gif
Here's where I get my CPI numbers: ftp://ftp.bls.gov/pub/special.requests/cpi/cpiai.txt
Here is where the chart came from:
http://www.cato.org/dailys/09-06-03.html
Speaking of inflation...there are many factors involved and everyone is not affected equally. There is also a domino effect as the price of one thing affects another. But let's take an example...Housing has far exceeded the rate of inflation...but the average wage earner who has owned their house for 30 years is in great shape. The avg wage earner who is a first time home buyer today must sink a much larger percentage of their income into it.
I'm a lot more concerned about lack of affordable housing than I am about gas prices.
Look at Telephone service...I pay 48.95 a mo. + taxes for unlimited long distance anywhere is the US. 10 years ago my phone bill averaged over 150 mo.

Well, for better or worse...I'm back home.
The New Mexico(Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Las Cruces, El Paso trip was pretty good...at least all the people I met were nice and I had some EXCELLENT New Mexican food...Not that I'm really into food)..."I eat to live, Not live to eat" ...but it was good overall.
Now for the bad news...I am on the(AND I QUOTE FROM THE LETTER I NOW HAVE IN FRONT OF ME) "TSA's watchlist of persons who are known to pose, or are suspected of posing, a threat to civil aviation or national security."
Now...this makes it pretty difficult to get on an airplane. However, in Albuquerque I found out that it is NOT REALLY ME...but, someone who uses a similar name. Within 45 days the TSA will be contacting me regarding how I can avoid the searches and ID procedure that I am required to go through now.
I can no longer, until I get contacted, use the internet, kiosks or curbside check-in services until I get the procedure...Well, maybe being famous isn't all it's cracked up to be...LOL...Personally, I think this has something to do with my EVIL TWIN...Mr. BREAKDOWN...LOL
All I know at this point is that I need to be at the airport 3 hrs early...IIC

Thanks for the list IIC.
I like a few of them, like CPSI and PGI on the long side.
But come on Analysts - PKI long? I think not. I was very tempted to short it at R1 21.30 a few mins back. I think I'll let it develop a pattern for a few hours and see.

03-23-2005, 09:55 AM
IFLO and MACR out of that list are two more very nice short opportunities, especially given current market weakness.
Personally, I don't even read the list...but I post it because I think some others like it...Maybe I should post the lowest rated list too...There might be some good long opps on it ;)
Bot PLMO and lost 6 cents this morn. Bot GIGA at 3.89, sold 4.60, bot 5.16 sold 5.32/5.10...then I had to go to a meeting and it goes up to 6.19...Darn, but I will certainly take one's like that :)

Happy Easter Everybody!!!
Mr. Breakout is updated if you'd like to take a look...Thanks, Doug(IIC)
http://MrBreakout.com
This is a little something I posted at another Forum yesterday:
There are literally hundreds of ways to try to project market direction...if I knew which one was the most accurate I'd probably be sitting on a beach in Bora Bora sippin' Mai Tai's right now.
But I thought I'd review a couple that I use(I also use many others) and you can decide for yourself whether they are worthwhile.
I'd also be interested in hearing how others try to project the direction.
The first 2 graphs are Nasdaq Advance/Decline Issue Oscillators for short term direction.
Notice the correlation between the A/D lines and the Naz movement. Especially, when the A/D crosses the red lines.
http://tal.marketgauge.com/dvmgpro/charts/COCAD05.GIF
http://tal.marketgauge.com/dvmgpro/charts/COCAD12.GIF
Here is the same type of Oscillator for Naz A/D volume. Notice that the A/D line never crosses the red lines for the time frame of this chart. But, generally when the line turns up the Naz goes up and when it turns down, the Naz turns down.
http://tal.marketgauge.com/dvmgpro/charts/COCVL05.GIF
Here is a chart depicting A/D issues and A/D volume for the NYSE:
http://tal.marketgauge.com/dvmgpro/charts/CNYVL10.GIF
Dailygraphs also has indicators, which I won't post here, for the 10 day Moving Average of Up/Dn volume with separate lines for each. Interesting to note what happens to the market when they cross in either direction. They also have the same thing for New Highs/New Lows.
Of course you don't necessarily have to wait for lines to cross as you can see the daily direction.
Obviously these indicators are not foolproof...but they are helpful IMO.
If you don't have access to sites that show these types of oscillators...I have a few at http://MrBreakout.com you can plot them yourself. The formulas are very simple; e.g. To calculate the 12 day A/D issues line you simply subtract the declining issues from the advancing issues ignoring the unchanged issues( A-D) for the past 12 days. Total the positive and negative numbers for each day and divide by 12. On the following day, simply eliminate the first day and add/subtract the present day A-D and divide by 12...and just continue every day using a trendline.
Be sure that you get your A/D numbers from the same source as I see some fairly significant differences...which doesn't make sense to me, but that's the way it is. I use an average between Yahoo and Merrill Lynch myself.
You can do the same thing for volume and new highs/lows. You can also use any time frame you wish. A normal intermediate time frame would be 30 days.
One question that I get is..."The Naz A/D was negative but the line went up...How come"? The answer may be elementary to many, but I've heard it many times. Here is an example of how that can occur:
Let's say you are plotting 10 days. On the first day the Naz A/D was 1000/2300...A-D= -1300. On the 11th day the Naz A/D is 1300/2000 A-D= -700. Since you are now dropping the first day (-1300) and adding -700, the trend line will turn up even though we had a bad day. Be careful to watch for this.
Well, as I said, this is not foolproof by any means but hopefully some find it helpful...Best, Doug(IIC)
Only trade today was ELBO before work...avg. +.70...too bad I had to go to work...Saw Hospitals and Apparel doing well...but a F/T job and daytrading don't mix that well...IIC

IIC, why don't you just trade full-time?
Because I am paid pretty well.
Also, the majority of my net worth is in a Real Estate Trust...This allows me to take risks on stocks that I probably would not take if I depended on equity gains to eat. Although, the way I'm investing now doesn't seem to pose a whole lot of major risk.
But I think I would have to change my investment style if I was full-time though...Now, I'm not saying I couldn't do it...So, if you are willing to fund it...I'm willing to give it a shot.

Well, we did dip a little below the 1970 level but I am pleased that we closed above it. On an encouraging note the volume in the last 5 minutes on the Naz Composite was triple any other rounded 5 minute period today and we went up 5 points....Doug
PS...I decided to sign up for the DGO R/T since they added Intraday...I'll let you know what I think of it.
Made .67 and .40 sh on VRSN early and .20 on HPQ...but just watched later in the day.
Hospitals sure doing well...maybe because of so much "Blood On Wall Street" ;)

.... come on Analysts - PKI long? I think not. I was very tempted to short it at R1 21.30 a few mins back. I think I'll let it develop a pattern for a few hours and see.
Nice drop today. When I closed my short for a push I actually thought about selling April 22.50 strike calls when they were 0.40. Now 0.05x0.10. Ces la vis.

Well, I really like the DGO Realtime thing...wish it covered the Industry Groups and Custom Screens...but it paid for itself today. I was only able to watch the first 1 1/2 hours today...but I bot VRSN...made 2 cents...but I also bot INSP...It appears that the DGO RealTime is more RealTime than Scottrade...by about 30 seconds on their 1 min charts. Well, I was prepared to sell INSP when it took about a 20 cent dip this morning on the 1 min Scottrade chart...but it was a blip as I could see on the DGO chart...so instead of getting washed out for what might have been a 55 cent sh loss I ended up making 30 cents sh on it.
It is nice that it is streaming too. The main thing I like is that even though I am not much for Canslimming, I use a lot of the IBD data and reports to help make my decisions...IIC

Doug, pretty crappy market performance in the face of good news. I saw the futures up big before going to work, then when getting to work, the market is down. Pretty much says it all IMO.

Impressive array of screens. Would you mind giving up the size of the individual screens? They all seem to be across your desk with that as the control point. Real neat.

I'm highly impressed. That looks too complicated, even for a highly evolved Vulcan, such as myself.

Doesn't matter what I say now...but I expected even more gains on even higher volume in the first 20 mins on the Naz...When that did not happen, I assumed that the euphoria would be short-lived...then I had to hit the road, so I missed the carnage...but Oil did well...so you can always go with whatever is moving.
My longer term holdings were 4 up 4 dn...led by WTSLA which I bot on 3/7. But my large holding, WITS, is getting to be a drag. Seems like I am tying up too much money for a small gain.
I'm concentrating on moving groups now for short term trades...I did make a news play a couple of days ago...CEPH...but I scratched...I like to trade news but I really don't have the time to do so much anymore.
IBD says the Top Group yesterday was Textiles...but I ignore that group...there are only 7 stocks in it and HWG is so heavily weighted. In fact, it was the only stock in the whole group that was up yesterday. Need to understand which groups are meaningless...If the group has Miscellaneous or Diversified in its name...I usually don't pay much attention to it...IIC

Did I get sucked in. Are you saying that that is a picture of someone else's desk and setup. You're right about the sizeable task of watching all of it. I'm working on my 3rd screen, just getting it setup, and it takes alot of time to watch it all on just two, but will eliminate alot of switching back and forth between programs which will save some time.
Anyway that was an impressive array whoever it belongs to.

Looks like Monday's are the worst trading days on the Naz back to 1971...And to top it off, April 4th is the worst day of the year on average.

2:00 PM ET: Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, via satellite, spoke about the energy market to a Texas oil conference. He said demand for energy has outstripped supply, describing shortages of refining capacity as "worrisome". He said sharply higher prices for energy have so far only "modestly" cut into demand, though consumers may cut back consumption if price gains persist. He described similar conditions for the natural gas market.
Heck...I coulda said that
PS...I'm cutting GM's Bonds to "JUNK" Status...What is wrong with this outfit???
BEIJING, April 6 -- A United Nations ban on oil tankers that use a single layer of steel to separate their cargo from the sea may leave the industry short of tankers, London-based shipbroker E.A. Gibson Ltd said.
According to a UN ruling that came into force on Monday, all single-hulled ships will have to stop sailing by 2010. Shipowners must scrap 169 tankers with a combined capacity of about 6.9 million tons this year, or 2.1 per cent of this year's global capacity. By 2010, as many as 1,402 ships carrying 104.6 million tons, or a quarter of global tanker capacity, would have to be scrapped, Gibson said.
Ulsan, South Korea-based Hyundai Heavy Industries Co, the world's biggest shipyard, and other shipbuilders have limited capacity to build new tankers as they struggle to meet demand for more profitable container ships and liquefied natural gas carriers. "The problem now is that shipowners will have to wait until 2008 to get any delivered with the South Korean shipyards already full with orders, said Kang Sang Min, a shipbuilding analyst at Tong Yang Investment Bank in Seoul. "Shipowners have already put in orders for most of the tankers they would need with the new regulation."
The UN's International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships was amended to speed up the phase out after the Prestige sank off the coast of Spain in November 2002 while carrying 77,000 tons of fuel oil. Double-hulls, mandatory in all tankers built since the mid-1990s, reduce the risk of pollution if a ship is damaged in an accident.
The phase out is staggered by age. Tankers built before 1997 and those with certain kinds of cargo tank structures were required to have stopped going to sea on Monday. As tankers reach the 26-year-old mark over the next five years they have to be phased out. All remaining single-hulled tankers are set to be abolished in 2010.
Rate impact
The UN's move "will have some impact on the oil tanker rates because this ruling will affect the supply and demand of these vessels, Kang said.
Oil tanker rates, which usually fall in the second quarter, may climb in the next three months as OPEC boosts production to meet demand from the United States and China.
With demand for ships exceeding yard capacity and rising steel costs, the price of building a 2-million-barrel oil tanker, or very large crude carrier, has more than doubled since September 2002. If the schedule turns out to be too drastic, the industry may have a get-out clause. Under the convention, individual flag states may authorize single-tankers younger than 25 to carry on trading until 2015.
The rules also ban single-hull tankers from carrying fuel oil, one of the dirtiest products of oil used in power generation, and heavy grades of fuel oil.
Singapore has required single-hulled oil tankers to announce their arrival 24 hours in advance since Monday.
The city state's Maritime and Port Authority said in a statement on April 1 that single-hulled tankers of more than 5,000 tons must inform authorities of their cargo 24 hours before they arrive in Singapore. Ships that do not comply may be denied entry to the port or detained. About a 10th of the 133,185 vessels that arrived in Singapore last year were oil tankers.
In 2004, 12,930 oil tankers with total capacity of 286.54 million gross tons, arrived at the island nation, 6.6 per cent more than the previous year in gross tonnage terms.
Singapore will also waive port dues to help cut costs for double-hulled oil tankers, Lim Hwee Hua, minister of state for finance and transport, said last month.
South Korea will deny entry into its ports to single-hulled tankers. Starting yesterday, South Korea's companies will be banned from operating single-hulled oil tankers that have a capacity of more than 5,000 tons.

What a cr*ppy day...lost about 3% each on NGPS and CYCL...then CNTY pulls back...but closed well, so I heldover.
WTSLA...SSS +36%...up pre-m and then tanks...I got out in the 3.90's...made 8% though on it from my 3/7/05 buy...but dissapointing.

Highlights
The nation's international trade gap widened further in February, to $61.0 billion from $58.5 billion in January and against expectations for $59.0 billion.
Imports rose sharply once again, up 1.6% to $161.5 billion. Exports continued to disappoint, unchanged from February at $100.5 billion. The lower value of the dollar has given exports little boost, suggesting that foreign competitors continue to sacrifice profit margins to protect market share.
Much of the rise in imports once again reflected higher energy costs related to oil. Petroleum imports surged 10.3%. Excluding petroleum, the nation's gap widened to $47.3 billion vs. $46.2 billion in February.
Imports of consumer goods rose $0.7 billion boosted by a sharp rise in textile & apparel imports from China (reflecting the end of import quotas).
But imports of capital goods fell, down $0.8 billion in a bit of a surprise, suggesting that domestic business investment, after a strong 2004, may be softening.
Among our trading partners, unadjusted data showed China way out in front with the largest gap followed by the EU, Japan and OPEC.
The dollar dipped only a bit on the trade report, though it shows no let up in currency outflows from the United States. Budget data later this afternoon are expected to show continued increases in the federal government's deficit. But the appetite among foreigners, especially from China and Japan, for U.S. financial assets is enormous, as Treasury International Capital data later on Friday are likely to once again show.
Market Consensus Before Announcement
The international trade deficit on goods and services widened sharply in January to $58.3 billion, reaching its second highest monthly trade deficit on record. Import growth continues to outpace export growth by a wide margin - thanks in part to surging crude oil prices
International trade balance Consensus Forecast for Feb 05: $-59 billion
Range: $-57 to $-61.4 billion

Early drops were partially due to the high end of the consensus on the trade deficit report. But, the Fed news sparked a late rally. What particularly pleased me was that Naz 1970 support held and that we actually closed above 1st level Naz resistance which was 2005. Even the volume picked up back to at least a reasonable level. But before I get all excited I would certainly like to see a few higher volume follow throughs.

Interesting day...I was surprised that we went below 1990...but at least support held. I traded DOX CELL MDTH ALDA...then cashed out and went to work...Traded PENN and WTR at work for DT's. Did OK today thanks to CELL and WTR...WTR was an interesting one. I saw that Water Utilities was the number one DJ sector and checked out some charts...Picked WTR...Not sure how any of the others did...IIC
Just a few minor changes...For those that see me on the Chats, you know I was obviously wrong on calling 1990 the day's bottom early on...After I went to work I got defensive...Bot WTR...Can't get more defensive than that...I couldn't find an "Air" Sector/Group...LOL...But I am still a mildly optimistic since Support held...even on the Q's
