That list is seriously shrinking. I wonder how short it would get before it becomes contrarian?
Yeah...I'm wondering too. I've been running this daily scan for well over a year. So far, the past 2 days have been the shortest in memory. However, sometime last summer I changed the parameters a little bit. Here are little charts on the MoMos:

BTW: there are lower levels of support...I just didn't post them because I didn't think we would go this low...next level under 1899 would be 1867-1877 according to my scan.

Thanks for that Doug. That would be another 30-40 pts downside. Is the support pretty strong there?

Not particularly
I had a losing week in my short term account...but it wasn't too damaging. I am trading on the premise that no matter what the market is doing...there is always something moving. Have not had the opportunity to try this out on such bad days until this past week. But it has proved true overall for the past few months at least on my end. The reason I switched to this is because the market was so Blah...I got tired of waiting for market direction.
Yesterday, there were only 4 IBD groups up out of 197. 3 were Medical groups and the other one was Water Utilities. For the week...the following DJ Indices were all up:
DJ US Pharmaceuticals Index 3.26%
DJ US Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnolo... 3.17%
DJ US Biotechnology Index 2.86%
DJ US Aerospace & Defense Index 2.44%
DJ US Water Index 2.18%
DJ US Health Care Index 1.18%
DJ US Medical Supplies Index 0.87%
DJ US Soft Drinks Index 0.71%
Here is a little tidbit that may be just another indicator that people are throwing in the towel:
At my site, the "average daily unique" visitors increased 5% in February vs prior month. In March it was +18%. In April it stands at -28%. Also, the "page views" for last weekend's report is the lowest since I started on October 9th. In fact it is 19% lower than the previous week low which was January 30th. There will end up being some more views but not that many. Just thought that was interesting...IIC
Doug this Is great Info can you give us this every week? That Is the one thing I miss the most about IBD.

Sorry to hear that Doug.
I think you have a pretty good idea staying in stocks for only a few days in a market like this. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm under the impression your brief exposure to a particular stock is designed to minimize the likelihood of bad news while you're holding it.
Obviously didn't help in this case...

One bad week isn't going to ruin my year...it happens...and it always will. Basically you are right. There really doesn't seem to be much in the way of consistently strong stocks lately....Obviously there are some...but many are whippy which is dangerous.
I see problems in the Group/Sector movement too. One place I look for ideas is in IBD Groups. I look for Groups, not necessarily in top groups, that have moved up in rank. For example...I was looking at the Internet-isp group yesterday...it moved from # 110 to 48...Ooh, now there's a potential place for me to look...but you know what?...The group overall is down 3.2% since the close on April 8th. So I look at Leisure-Toys...moved from 138 to 71...But the group price is -6.3% since April 8th. In a better market this always seemed like a good way to catch some before everyone else knew about them.
Anyway, my standard ways of looking for ideas are kinda weak this year...that's why I decided to just try and find the one's that are moving at the time. That is also why I don't post a bunch of watchlists like I used to...Seems like the lists are outdated the next morning...IIC

I’ve seen the set all to often where the pop hits a wall and then drops and cleans the house. Tough markets require tough action for me I simply unplug my mouse and wait until direction is clear.. For me right now I think being long can cost a trader some money, but sure stocks went up today and they will tomorrow, but as far as Risk/Reward goes I will simply ride out the storm from the safety of land. I surely do not want a 70 foot wave hitting my little raft…
Your ways are not weak for finding stocks this Year; we just have a weak market!!

Nice chart Runner...but actually I was happy till about a week ago.
To be honest, I still am...I just need to be super-careful. Like this morn...Pre-M...I was pretty happy when I saw CNTY's numbers...there was some concern about sales...but I was pleased...then they get downgraded. If it was in my long-term portfolio, I would not be that concerned w/ the downgrade...but short term...I shoulda bailed quick...woulda saved me quite a bit. But mistakes are part of the game...I continually try to minimize them though.
No problem...there's always tomorrow...Best, Doug

By Joseph Rebello and Paulette Chu
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--U.S. consumer prices rose at the fastest clip in five months in March amid a surge in gasoline and housing prices, surprising Wall Street and validating the Federal Reserve's worry that inflation is heating up.
The Consumer Price Index rose 0.6% last month, marking the biggest increase since October, the Labor Department said Wednesday. The closely watched core index, which excludes food and energy items, rose 0.4% - the fastest pace in two-and-a-half years.
Wall Street expected milder inflation. The average forecast of economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires and CNBC called for a 0.5% in the overall CPI and a 0.2% gain in the so-called core index, which excludes food and energy items.
The numbers could rekindle speculation in financial markets that the Fed may step up the pace of interest-rate increases. Amid a gradual increase in inflation since the middle of 2004, Fed policymakers have raised the key federal funds rate by a quarter percentage point at each of their last seven meetings, lifting it to 2.75%.
Last month, however, some members of the Fed's Open Market Committee began to doubt the central bank's own forecast that inflation will stay low this year. "The odds that the Committee might need to step up the pace of policy firming were thought to have increased," they said, according to minutes the Fed published last week. They expressed "concern" that consumer-price inflation recently has exceeded expectations.
Economists, however, said the committee isn't likely to take that step at its next meeting, on May 3. Since the policymakers last met, U.S. retail sales have weakened, housing construction has declined, stock prices have taken a dive, and Wall Street has begun to fret about a new "soft patch" in the economy.
On Tuesday, one FOMC member acknowledged that the economic recovery may be slowing and asserted that inflation "remains basically well-contained." In an interview with CNBC, Janet Yellen, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, said: "We have had some recent readings, the trade and retail sales, that suggest maybe we hit a soft spot in March."
Most economists, as a result, expect the FOMC to stick with its campaign of "measured" interest-rate increases for now, lifting the funds rate by a quarter percentage point on May 3. That would put the rate at 3%.
The Labor Department's report Tuesday showed that much of the overall increase in consumer prices last month reflected surging crude-oil prices, which have climbed about 40% over the last year. Energy prices rose 4%, the biggest increase since October. Gasoline prices rose 7.9%, also the biggest increase since October. Food prices rose 0.2%, the biggest increase in four months.
But prices outside the food and energy sectors also rose at a faster pace. Housing prices, which account for about 40% of the CPI, rose 0.5% - the biggest increase in more than four years. Transportation prices rose 1.9%, the biggest increase in five months.
Apparel prices rose 0.8%, the biggest increase in a year. Prices of airline fares rose 2.7%, the biggest increase in nearly four years. Prices of medical care, however, slowed to a growth rate of 0.5% from 0.6% in February.
In a separate report, the Labor Department said the average weekly earnings of U.S. workers, adjusted for inflation, fell 0.3% in a second consecutive month of decline. Average hourly earnings rose 0.3%. Average weekly hours were unchanged.

Reliv Intl In Trading Plan To Buy Back 200,000 Shrs >RELV
WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--Reliv International Inc. (RELV) said Wednesday that it entered into a stock trading plan Monday to repurchase 200,000 shares of its common stock at a price of up to $12 a share.
According to a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Chesterfield, Mo., company said the repurchase will take place from Monday until Aug. 31. Seidler Cos. was named the plan's facilitator.
Rule 10b5-1 allows insiders to adopt written agreements under which they can buy or sell their company's stock legally, even if they later acquire inside information.
Shares of Reliv International recently traded at $9.74 each.
Reliv International makes food products, including nutritional and fiber supplements, diet management products, functional foods and sports drink mixes.
Well, I was pretty busy at work today...so I cashed out SNHY on the gap up early and I sold ABLE for a .15 sh gain...missed most of the rest of the day although I was able to sneek a couple of peeks in.
The CPI figures were above consensus an hour before the open, although there seems to be some confusion about the Core CPI...but if I use the Barron's numbers it was above consensus.
The first hour on the Naz seemed to be a battle between the CPI and some EPS reports...but I knew the Beige Book was coming out at 2pm EDT...Now, I'm assuming it did come out on time...and look at what happened on a Naz Chart after it came out...that was all she wrote.
The FOMC uses the Beige to help with their decisions...at least that's the official story...And since they meet again in 2 weeks, I have heard rumblings of 50 basis points...Could just be rumor and it is certainly only speculation...but it did not help the markets any...for today anyway.
Additionally, housing starts stunk yesterday...wonder if the bubble is ready to burst this year???...It is overdue IMO.
BTW...Anyone notice that today's Down Volume was alot higher on the NYSE than yesterday's Up Volume?
Japan is falling apart...although I consider the foreign markets to be followers...and they have to deal with the China thing.

On a positive note...The Naz Futs are down only 1/2 pt...but the SP and Dow Futs are slightly green.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The number of Americans applying for initial jobless claims plunged 36,000 last week, the largest drop in more than three years, the Labor Department said on Thursday, partially because of difficulties in calculating seasonal adjustments.

Nice day...but I cashed out the short term account...Traded VLO SMMX early and PHM DTAS PLLL later. PLLL was a newsplay...CNBC pump...I made .11 on it but geez!!!...I heard the news(actually I got an email alert) and put in a market order...went up 20 cents before I was filled. The best one for me was SMMX(+.52 avg)...the worst was PHM(-.22)...Made .90 on VLO but I bot about 3x more of SMMX. DTAS...paid for my commish and lunch.

Geez...A/H was not so pretty...I really liked TSRA too:
Shares of Tessera Technologies Inc. (TSRA (http://finance.myway.com/jsp/qt/full.jsp?symbol_search_text=TSRA): news (http://finance.myway.com/jsp/nw/newsheadlinebysymbol.jsp?symbol_search_text=TSRA)) fell nearly 29% to $29.00 after the distributor of semiconductor-packaging technologies forecast second-quarter revenue of $16.5 million to $17 million. Tessera also forecast 2005 revenue of $89 million to $91 million. Analysts had expected the company to report second-quarter revenue of $21 million and 2005 revenue of $98 million.
I don't post this here anymore because the format doesn't work...but if you fiddle with it you can see what happened...Look at the overall daily Up/Down vol...IMO, the market sucks unless you are quick:

IIC thanks so much for all ya do. Your work is splendid. If you find time and if
possible could you direct me to web sites that list upgrades, splits, and
future dividends. Any help pertaining to this info would be appreciated.
Thanks and good luck.

I remember that day...but I sure as heck can't remember why I bot it...LOL
Seriously, I was watching medical groups and it had a short flat base on lo vol...it moved on vol that day...but I was late to the party.

There are a number of them that list splits/upgrades...here's a couple:

http://www.theonlineinvestor.com/subscription_center.phtml
I don't pay attention to dividends...actually, I prefer stocks w/o dividends although I buy some...but not for the dividends.
I'm in the process of cataloging useful sites...but I don't know when I'll ever get around to finishing. Also, at Mr. B I list sites that I think some might find useful every weekend...Some are not stock related...but most are...and 98% of the one's I list are free....Best, IIC

If you want Canslim stocks...I think it is almost mandatory. I'm not much of a Canslimmer anymore, but I have used DailyGraphs since the '70's.
As far as DGO, I find the Industry Groups very helpful. I also find the Reports helpful. I have RealTime DGO now that they include Intraday...hopefully the big stink I made at last year's Chicago and Las Vegas Expos and all the stuff I posted all over the Net had something to do w/ the addition of R/T Intraday. I love it, although the groups, screens and reports are still delayed...but when you click on a report chart or an individual stock chart from the Groups page it is R/T. If they would change the reports and groups to R/T I'd gladly pay a lot more.
As far as fundamental data...DGO is pretty good at a glance. For my short term trading, fundies don't play a big role w/ me...but for intermediate and long term they do. One thing that bugs me though is that their EPS dates are ALWAYS wrong. I have complained about this many times to no avail.
I mentioned Reports earlier...They also have Market Indicators and some other stuff which I believe most people don't utilize. In fact, the IBD people don't even know about them. I had a little fun at the Las Vegas show last November during a DGO presentation...I asked about the market indicators...now I knew how they are calculated...pretty simple...but the presenter didn't even know what market indicators were.
There are some other examples of stuff I pulled too...Like in front of about 30 people I interrupted this guy telling us about IBD and Canslim...I said that the problem I have w/ all your info is that it is backward looking...e.g. EPS rating. I don't care what a company did 3-5 years ago...I care about what they will do tomorrow. He went into some non-sensical(sp???) explanation about how the Composite Rating projects future performance...BS!!!...I gave up after a while...But I got asked for a lot of Biz Cards which I just happened to have handy.
Anyway, I think I'm a pretty decent guy (I actually feel a little bad about giving these inadequately trained employees a hard time) and I wouldn't pull these little games on regular people like us...But if I'm paying IBD $1,500 a year, I expect some answers to my questions.
Well, now you got me started on my IBD bashing...maybe I should write a book 'cause I could go on and on. (Webs and maybe you know that I got semi-banned at the IBD Forum)I don't even want to tell you the fun I had at the DailyGraphs Seminar in LA in 9/03...Actually I do...but I'm a slow typist and I have other things to do this evening...LOL....But the gist of it was that the presenter finally said that "We realize that we have customers who use our data for Non-Canslim type investing.
But to answer your question...If you need and will use the info they provide, then $1,000, although I think it is overpriced compared to some other sites, is worth the bux. The way I figure it is I make a whole lot more than 1000 bux yr.(The R/T is 22.95mo extra) from their info.
Best, Doug(IIC)
Doug, very interesting. One question I have offhand: (I think the answer is probably no, but) Does DGO cover BB stocks?
I've always had the same problems with CANSLIMJIM as you. FIVE YEARS earnings growth? Sounds more like the run is almost over to me. That said, when you wonder what a stock will earn tomorrow, do you consider recent sales growth (theory being sales leading to earnings)? Is ROE (efficient capital management) critical? I like to think a stock that is rapidly flipping red to black with accelerating sales could do pretty well.
Another question: How does DGO's market indicators compare to IBD's "Big Picture"/Market Indicators pages? I'm wondering if I can just go ahead and replace an IBD subscription with DGO...
If we ever meet up (now not looking good for me in the near term, go figure...) maybe you can show me some printouts and examples?
BJ...I have not forgotten...just very busy till the end of the month at work...I will be taking a few days off in May...I get 6 weeks vacation and I'm tired of being paid off for it.
As a matter of fact, DGO does have some Bulletin Boards...But I can't tell how many...In the Custom Screener one of the criteria you can designate is Naz NYSE or AMEX...but not BB. But, I see BB's in Groups many times. And then they have the charts...But there does not seem to be any way to hunt them down.
One of WON'S philosophies is what has done well in the past should(not will) do well in the future...He has used the .300 hitter vs. .200 hitter in baseball as an example. I think there is some validity to that...but...
I don't even look at ROE...To me it should be calculated by Industry...Also, and this is a simple example...Is a co. better off buying real estate/equipment or leasing??? Same thing with margins...A great margin in one group may be lousy in another...Or how about debt??? What is the company doing with those loans? A perfect example is Real Estate leverage...Are you better off buying a little commercial office building for $1 mil. cash that brings in an NOI of $150 grand or putting down $100k and making only $75k after Debt Service??? If you have $1mil you can buy 10 of 'em and you will make $750k on your $1mil....Now I just quickly did those calcs in my head so they are not exact...but the point is "LEVERAGE" and Debt MAY or MAY not be a plus...so you have to find out what is happening with that debt...IBD simplifies it by saying high debt is bad...BS in many cases IMO....Shades of Donald Trump ...LOL
Another thing to watch for which IBD does not adequately explain...Sales down...EPS up...Could mean they are getting "Lean and Mean"...So, sales growth, while on the surface is good...may not mean that much unless EPS is growing at a higher percentage.
I used Market Indicators as an example of things that are sort of in the backround that most subscribers probably don't even use or understand. They are not all inclusive by any means...but they are there...Heck, I'm paying for them...why not use them???
Anyway...I get my money's worth from IBD stuff...but I still think they are overpriced...and I also don't like all these little add on things like E-Tables, SmartLinks...Hey, I heard they are going to start indicating buy points on their charts...that should make it easier to take advantage of the IBD Drones...IIC
Doug, very interesting. One question I have offhand: (I think the answer is probably no, but) Does DGO cover BB stocks?
I've always had the same problems with CANSLIMJIM as you. FIVE YEARS earnings growth? Sounds more like the run is almost over to me. That said, when you wonder what a stock will earn tomorrow, do you consider recent sales growth (theory being sales leading to earnings)? Is ROE (efficient capital management) critical? I like to think a stock that is rapidly flipping red to black with accelerating sales could do pretty well.
Another question: How does DGO's market indicators compare to IBD's "Big Picture"/Market Indicators pages? I'm wondering if I can just go ahead and replace an IBD subscription with DGO...
If we ever meet up (now not looking good for me in the near term, go figure...) maybe you can show me some printouts and examples?

IIC,
Thanks for the great information. I wouldn't want you on my case if I were in IBD's shoes. They should hire you as an advisor and take some of your advice for their own good.

Guess I had high hopes for the new IBD changes...they were not exactly what I expected...check out Monday's paper.
BTW...I've also heard that they will be enhancing DGO this summer...not sure what they will be though...IIC

Oh yeah...Now they are pumping stocks under $10...I'll take that as an admission that strict Canslim doesn't work....I think I will switch to their new theory..."The Needle In A Haystack" approach...LOL

Mr. Breakout is updated if you'd like to take a look. In the Site Watch Section of this weekend's report I have an interesting site where you can actually see a photo of your own house on the Net. Guess you can't hide out from anyone anymore...LOL

Doug, do you use a program when you scan for your chart patterns for your site (e.g. cwh)? I'm trying to find one that will look for triangles, flags, etc.. Thanks
Speaking of IBD...It is not that I don't like them or their info...I just think that they are gouging people who want to follow Canslim with all these little add-ons and seminars. But business is business and they have every right to charge what they want.
But their pricing structure sure seems strange to me...Let's compare it to The Wall Street Journal and Barron's. Now, I don't read WSJ because it doesn't have the info I want. It is interesting to read their articles...but I have to budget my time. I do like to read Barron's though.
Pre-Internet which was 1997 for me I used to spend a lot of time at the UCLA Biz library and the Beverly Hills City Library because they are close by and they have a lot of good biz pubs. I occasionally visited the Main LA City Library downtown too. I liked to read Barron's among other pubs there.
A few months ago I started receiving all these magazines that I didn't order, in the mail...Most were women's mags but Barron's was the first one...I thought maybe Barron's was comping me like TA of S & C was. But after a while my wife admitted that she signed me up for all this stuff with my unused AMR mileage that was expiring (I usually fly Southwest).
So I got used to reading Barron's because it came on Saturday's...but lately my regular mail delivery guy has been taking Saturday's off...How much vacation does he get???...And it has been coming on Monday's which means I will never look at it.
So, yesterday after the sub delivered a bunch of junk mail...I went online to see about getting Barron's Online...Geez, the cover price is $4 or $208yr...but online, if you are a print subscriber to either Barron's or WSJ it is only $39yr....plus you get WSJ "AND" Barron's Online for that price...great deal(although I prefer the Barron's print)...Even if you are not a print subscriber...it is only $79yr.
Obviously, I will continue my IBD and DGO subs because I want their info...But the price difference is pretty amazing to me.
BTW: If you live in L.A. you can go to the UCLA biz library and look at the Institutional version of Dailygraphs...It is called the O'Neil Database...It has 2x as much info as DailyGraphs charts and the price is well over $100k yr for the weekly. At UCLA they only get it 1x a month. At the Beverly Hills Library they had the print of DailyGraphs...I used to look at the NYSE book there because I dropped that one in the 80's(They have a separate one for the Naz/Amex) and at the LA City Library they had the WON Options Guide...But it's been a while since I went to the latter two.
Later...IIC
Doug, do you use a program when you scan for your chart patterns for your site (e.g. cwh)? I'm trying to find one that will look for triangles, flags, etc.. Thanks
I knew someone would ask that. I don't mind giving out 99% of the ways I find things...But I am going to refrain from divulging how I get the CwH's, my RS Database and EPS Figures/Projections....It took me over 5 years to come up with a CwH screener...Sorry.
As far as other patterns...check Stockcharts.com...Doug(IIC)
I am working on adding scans for triangle, pennants, flags, etc. I am slowly getting there, it just a time factor between my massive stock market load and recoding my scanning system. I might just pay another that I know to start doing these for me, but it does take some testing to get the scans to be as efficient as possible. I hope by the end of the summer I will have many more if not by the end of the year.
:D :D :D

IIC on the ball as always, Here are the ones we played today. An unusual upside day thats for sure!
GME, HLEX, TALX, HANS, NDAQ, VLCCF, HYDL, FORD.
Very nice day . :D
Only if they were all like this. :D
I was just looking at all the technicals I usually check...this is a tough call...but I see a little more upside going into the GDP on Thurs...but then a reversal...Of course, the GDP news will have a fairly large effect...even if it is temporary...Unless you want to make quick trades...I recommend cash till after the announcement on Thursday...IIC
Very solid recommendation!
I am an avid S&P futures trader and today was total crap! In anticipation of thursday's number's tommorow I will find something better to do. :D

Looking forward to your take on the WITS report.
I remember WITS. I made a few dollars on it last year.
I d/t'd LVS ALTR VEXP early and ENER late and took a flyer on FORD late. In a better mkt. I probably would've heldover ENER

I didn't listen to the C/C...but I read the report...was hoping for an unexpected surprise...but hope doesn't go very afr in the market. Have not decided what to do yet. Long range I like WITS. However, I've been thinking of freeing up this money for short term trades. A year is a long time to only be up around 15%.
What's your take?

Hoping for a bad GDP to fill the gap then from the looks of it getting a bounce.

"Confirmed Rally already seeing some signs of distribution"...IBD

Doug, I'm with you there. The IBD rally signals seldom work. The market top signals seem fairly reliable, though. When the signals conflict is when IBD seems REALLY CONFUSED :D
Well the market rallied back this morning as I expected but is now fading. This is not good!!! If we continue to fade this could get VERY UGLY!!!
:-P
If we take out 1145 on the S&P E-mini's we could easily see this years lows today.

And there is the nasty cracking of the market. :D :D :D
1145 taken out.

IBD doesn't know $h!T.
Calm down Webs...I still use IBD/DGO info to make many of my investment decisions...I just don't believe in their "Theoretical Super Duper I Beat The S & P 500 by 1,000,000% Every Year" tout...or whatever they claim it is...I forget.
BTW...I'll send you a buck if you post at IBD Forums..."Whatever happened to WallStreet Wally aka IIC"? I think you can find him at Mr. Market.

Personally, I think what bothers many is that we have not had that blowout down day or two or three...Many, I believe are waiting for "Capitulation". The markets are simply grinding...wearing people out right now.
It would be nice to get the whole thing over with...circa October 1987...But I don't think that will necessarily happen. I am Bullish long term...Of course, I always am...But in this case, and I can't predict when, I think we are all going to wake up one morning and say to ourselves..."Hey, it is time to get back in long"...Meanwhile, I will just play it day by day and try to buy whatever is in favor at the moment...IIC

I think that is all you can do in these markets is to narrow it down to which sectiors are in favor and which stocks in those sectors are in favor. Still doesn't gurarantee anything but puts the edge a little more in your favor. The only true winning play in these situations is to stay in cash while looking for a momo play for a intraday or short term swing for a day or two.
Time for a bounce...IBD says "Intermediate Correction"...LOL

Great job IIC!!
I know where my short term account will be on Tuesday 1 min before the announcement.
This is from Barron's:
The FOMC meeting is likely to bring a widely anticipated result of a 25-basis-point increase in the federal funds rate target. Market players will be more interested in the post-meeting statement. Will the word "measured" be deleted from the statement? Such a change could wreak havoc in the financial markets.

Interesting day...I took the day off work and concentrated on trading. Traded STMP CYCL SPLS. But I cashed out before the FOMC...just to be safe.
Afterwards, Naz hit a ceiling right at medium resistance and then fell back...I decided to go take a shower and water the plants. I didn't bother watching the last 1/2 hr...But there was a small spike at the end, apparently due to the inadvertant omission of the long term inflation contained thing...Sounds like BS to me...we trust these jokers with running the economy and they can't even type the shortest announcement in memory correctly??? No wonder it takes 3 weeks to publish the FOMC minutes. (they will be released 5/24)...BTW...Here was theier original statement:
The Federal Open Market Committee decided today to raise its target for the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to 3 percent.
The Committee believes that, even after this action, the stance of monetary policy remains accommodative and, coupled with robust underlying growth in productivity, is providing ongoing support to economic activity. Recent data suggest that the solid pace of spending growth has slowed somewhat, partly in response to the earlier increases in energy prices. Labor market conditions, however, apparently continue to improve gradually. Pressures on inflation have picked up in recent months and pricing power is more evident.
The Committee perceives that, with appropriate monetary policy action, the upside and downside risks to the attainment of both sustainable growth and price stability should be kept roughly equal. With underlying inflation expected to be contained, the Committee believes that policy accommodation can be removed at a pace that is likely to be measured. Nonetheless, the Committee will respond to changes in economic prospects as needed to fulfill its obligation to maintain price stability.
Voting for the FOMC monetary policy action were: Alan Greenspan, Chairman; Timothy F. Geithner, Vice Chairman; Susan S. Bies; Roger W. Ferguson, Jr.; Richard W. Fisher; Edward M. Gramlich; Donald L. Kohn; Michael H. Moskow; Mark W. Olson; Anthony M. Santomero; and Gary H. Stern.
In a related action, the Board of Governors unanimously approved a 25-basis-point increase in the discount rate to 4 percent. In taking this action, the Board approved the requests submitted by the Boards of Directors of the Federal Reserve Banks of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Richmond, Atlanta, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Dallas, and San Francisco.

Doug,
What Is your take on the banks In this environment? Intrest rates up they must make more money on all types of loans plus more money put Into CD's etc. I don't know how It works just the way It seams It should be.

I think the way bank stocks perform versus interest rate changes can be pretty counterintuitive. Sort of the way a bond fund drops when the interest rates go up. You'd think that if the rates increase, your money will be making more money in the bond fund, but actually the bonds get cheaper because they were bought at a fixed interest rate which is lower than what you can buy now. Same is true for a bank, to an extent that they have a bunch of mortgages at fixed rates, which they were making a good spread from the low current interest rate.
Say a bank has $100M in fixed mortgages that they got for an average of 6%. At the time they got them the interest rates they paid on the deposits and short term CD's were 2%. That's a nice spread on the loans of 4%, or $4M per year, but if their borrowing costs go up (say the market rate goes to 4%) their spread now drops to just 2%, and their earnings are now just $2M (sounds eerily like a stock I own...). They can go and get new mortgages at 8% to make up for this, but in the meantime they're still stuck with all those old 6% loans they made before. So like a bond fund, the higher rates mean bigger profits, but later on. But short term, higher rates mean a drop in the current earnings and, as a consequence, IV of the investment.
I worked for B of A and Security Pacific for over 16 years...but I was in Real Estate.
Anyway...he's right...it is all about spreads.
But I posted an article about banks recently...I think they will have problems with the Cash Cow fees...they will be heavily regulated in the next yr or so IMO

Doug,
Coincidence that MAIN came up on your list of momo plays today. I have been watching it for a couple of weeks. Did it come up on one of your scans? My feelings are that it may turn out to be a good one.
Doug,
Coincidence that MAIN came up on your list of momo plays today. I have been watching it for a couple of weeks. Did it come up on one of your scans? My feelings are that it may turn out to be a good one.
My MoMo scan simply consists of stocks in the Top 5% of my RS database(which doesn't match others exactly 'cause they have more stocks in their database...I only have about 5,000...but it is consistently within 3 points)...that close up 2%+ on at least 1.5x ADV.
Some of the restaurants do look pretty good right now though and the group was up for the week after 3 down weeks...Doug(IIC)
BTW...here is an article about APPB:
http://kansascity.bizjournals.com/kansascity/stories/2005/05/02/daily55.html
The chart looks pretty bad on it though. Look at the DAVE chart too.
I have been watching the CwH pattern on RRGB
Mr B is updated if you would like to take a look...It is a bit short this week because I closed it w/o saving it and I had to re-write the whole thing.
Thanks, Doug(IIC)

I use this list to see what moves in the first 15 mins to 1/2 hour and then pulls back...I wait for another move. Of course, I miss the majority of them as I am also checking other lists for the same action...Now if I could just organize 40 people to watch 100 stocks who are all looking for the same thing I am...we'd be in business...Doug(IIC)

Doug, a couple of things...
I'll volunteer to help you watch, if you are ready to organize a group. Also, I know someone else very sharp who may be interested.
Also have questions about DGO. I recall the old printed version contained the fundies over the last 2 years or so, all moving averages, etc. I assume I can get the same information online, but are the numbers downloadable and sortable? And does it have the same market info as IBD's markets and sectors/big picture columns? Would you consider DGO a significant upgrade over IBD? Thanks in advance.

Well...not a great day for me...Had to leave early...Bot CRYP -.03, IRIS -.26 and FORM -.06...not a disaster or anything...but made a big mistake per my plan on CRYP...I bot on the p/b when it moved up at 34.00...a few mins later it was up to 34.84 or so...My plan is to trim...but I got greedy...it happened fast...but I could've trimmed at about 34.45 or so easy...I didn't...then it goes down into the 33's...then up to about 34.35 or so...Anyway, I wanted 35...Real loss wasn't much...but paper loss was not good. Meanwhile, I'm watching it so much...I didn't sell IRIS when I wanted to because I wasn't watching it...Such is life..."Live 'N Learn"...IIC
PS...No trading for me tomorrow...gotta hit the road shortly after the open

And does it have the same market info as IBD's markets and sectors/big picture columns? Would you consider DGO a significant upgrade over IBD? Thanks in advance.
I rarely read IBD anymore...usually only the Monday Edition...I only paid $120 yr on some super special extension deal 5 years ago...have another year left.
I don't get the print DGO anymore...I did get the Naz 1x a mo on another deal up until last year...but no more.
Some stuff at DGO is downloadable...e.g. Reports, Screens...I don't save it though.
I like charts and P/V...so I like DGO much better for D/T's...If I go back to Intermediate Trading(which probably won't happen???) then I'd say IBD would be good.
I posted that list last night to see if I'd get a reaction...I use that high RS list in R/T every morning to see if any meet my p/v action criteria...some always do.(But I have to be at the right place at the right time to catch 'em) The list changes everyday to some extent...so I keep 2-3 days up at all times...very helpful IMO...but the scan is my own.
A group???...I have thought about that...but very hard to find 5 people who all want the same thing. I have a trading partner who looks for maybe 85-90% of the same things I do...but that is about it...IIC
Doug,
Don't know if I am sharp enough, but I offer my help here.
Micky
I try to keep things very simple...I'm not really an expert in anything anyway...But when you do the same things many times over it becomes second nature and many of those things become almost automatic.
I have made changes in my trading style a number of times since '00...prior to that I was very CS for almost 20 yrs...Made some big changes in mid '00 and again in the Fall of '03. Then again in 8/04 and again in 2/05...But I think it is good to make changes gradually...test them w/ small dollars...paper trades are not realistic, although doing p/t's is educational...it just doesn't happen that way in real life...;i.e. I p/t'd dt's from 1/04-8/04...(made a few real one's too)...But, I WISH I could do that well in real life...Best...Doug(IIC)
Hey Doug, I found some promising ideas in your flat bases section of this week's Mr. Breakout report (posted them in Spike's section). Thanks!
Actually...there were some nice ones last week...but that list is way down on my watch...I used to set alerts on them...good idea, but most never break up...But if one a week does and you see it...

Gapped up then pulled back forming a bull flag with a wide range bar to the upside.

Doug,
Thx. I use p/v filter also, and some fundamentals. Watching your posts here, realize that playing news (earning surprises, upgrades) is doable for d/t these days. I swing instead d/t. Do have some time to watch the market (i am teaching in a business school). More a style issue. My next step is to learn how to find long term holdings.
IMHO, market is in the up trend.
Micky
Micky, good point about the surprises, but it seems like the price moves after apparently strong reports have been a mixed bag of late. If earnings are coming up, IMHO probably better to at least trim prior to the announcement.
MTM,
Nice posts. It might be even nicer to post them in another thread like "MTM's watch list".
Thanks for sharing.
Micky
Thanks Mickey! :D
I will just post in here, IIC said it was ok.

I will just post in here, IIC said it was ok.
It's fine with me...anyone is welcome to post in this thread as far as I am concerned...Even if they want to bash me...No problem.
But I do see Mickey's point...You seem sharp MTM...maybe you do want to post your stuff in your own thread...just to make it easier for people who are interested in your style to follow you...I would regularly read your thread.
Either way...no problem with me...Doug(IIC)

VLO is making money hand over fist. And there are no new refineries coming on line anytime soon. And yesterday they got hammered by the dropping oil price, but today they should bounce.

Webs...just as I suspected...Now what is the name of my site????????????
You owe me a dollar...obviously you are not a frequent visitor to my site...you can't even get the addy right...I'm hurt.
Anyway, I'm not here to promote http://MrBreakout.com (Got the name now???)or any of my other sites I own which I never mention here. I am here to interact with some good people like you.
BTW...I also own some cool domain names which I have never activated...For example, I own Breakouts.com which I plan to use in the future...problem is...type in "Breakouts" at Google...you'll get a bunch of acne cream listings...I guess we all have our hobbies...I collect domain names...Who do you think owned Loans.com and America.com in the beginning?

Doug, I bought BABY at the open. Pretty bufuddled that it lost half it's gain, but managed to bag about .35/shr. Do you like its chances of following through?

Looked at the technicals...I'd be careful at this point...wait for the P/V action to be right...and maybe another scalp???

Note: The R1 and S1 is added to my my scan using the formula that I posted in the Site Watch Section at Mr. B on Sunday(Which I graciously stole from Spike)...R1 and S1 is part of a larger commonly used Daytrading formula...I do not know the validity of that formula yet though...My normal numbers I come up with are based on a confluence formula based on multiple technical factors.

You are most definately right! We rallied right up to mid-term resistance and our treasury department is kissing China's Bleep! :D :D :D
Great Job noticing that!!!
1182.50 is the key point to watch on the S&P 500. That is where we want to see what type of reaction we get. Lets see if it pulls back to a 38% fibonacci retracement at the most and breaks above. That will put us long till we near the top.
Nice long watchlist Doug. Does this mean you're bullish again? :D
Nice long watchlist Doug. Does this mean you're bullish again? :D
Not really...actually I pull these off my high RS list...I watch to see which one's move and then pull back during the first 1/2 hr...I might get 3-10 to watch after that time.
I also don't filter them beforehand...so many I would never be interested in for various reasons; e.g. price, ADV etc...but it takes about 30 seconds to come up with the list and it gives me something to watch at the open as I keep them all in Real Time...IIC
US Apr. Consumer Prices +0.5%; Consensus +0.4%
U.S. April core CPI unchanged; CPI up 0.5% By Rex Nutting
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The underlying rate of U.S. inflation was unchanged in April, the Labor Department said Wednesday. The consumer price index increased 0.5% in April, driven by a 4.5% gain in energy prices, the fastest increase in energy prices in more than two years. Food prices jumped 0.7%, but other price increases were moderate. The core CPI, which excludes food and energy costs, was unchanged in April, the lowest rate of underlying inflation since November 2003. Economists were expecting the CPI to rise 0.4% in April after a 0.6% gain in March. The core rate was expected to rise 0.2% in April after 0.4% in March

BABY and BEBE. Sounds like twin sisters :D
Doug, when day trading, how do you avoid getting warned by your institution that you're trading before settlement? One way I would assume is that you trade with maybe 1/4 of your balance at a time. Any other suggestions?

Sign up for a margin account. That will end all problems.
I agree Newborn, however this is my IRA (should have specified :D ).
I think I need to just adopt a 3 day (as opposed to one) plan, trade with smaller positions, or just do so 2-3 times a week.

And you're on top of the leader board for two days in a row. WTG.
I agree Newborn, however this is my IRA (should have specified :D ).
I think I need to just adopt a 3 day (as opposed to one) plan, trade with smaller positions, or just do so 2-3 times a week.
I have 4 accounts...or should I say "We"...used to have 5...Anyway, last year a few of us went on a rampage about this settlement cr*p...to no avail though as far as I know.
I've gotten warning letters in the past about using unsettled funds in tax accounts...but we were never restricted.
But for daytrading you should have a margin cash account...Limit d/t's in tax accounts...although I don't know what the penalty would be if you did d/t in an IRA as a Pattern Daytrader if you don't use unsettled funds...What are they gonna do???...Take away your margin...Heck, you don't have any margin in an IRA...So I never understood the penalty for that; e.g. you make 10 d/t's in an IRA in a week w/o using unsettled funds???
If you are a pattern daytrader you need 25k or more in a cash-margin account as far as I know...But there is a way around that if you don't have 25k...Lets say you have 10k...open up 5 different accounts on margin for 2 k each...as long as your balance doesn't go below 2k you should be able to make enough d/t's to keep you satisfied...maybe not...but you'll be able to make something like 15 a week.
I would have to check the rules...but I don't d/t much in tax accounts anyway. Also, since I'm pretty new at daytrading(seriously since last August) I have not been using margin for d/t's in my cash account, although I could. I figured I would give it a year...and I've made many changes in my d/t style...but I think I am ready to start using margin soon on d/t's in a month or two...IIC

Doug,
All I can say is oh BABY oh BABY. Are you saying that you picked it for the contest and didn't own any of it. Up 11.2% over the course of 4 days. You're firmly entrenched at the top of the leaders board. Hope you had some of it. I was out in the field all day an only checked on my picks, I have positions in all three of them, and thought for sure I had a chance to catch you. Got home to see that HTRN, which was up .77 today, was demolished by BABY's +1.04. Nice play. Hope you owned some of it. What brought you to it?

Today it took off and settled back...never took off again...but I watched the move. I've been watching it for about 3 weeks...and I did dt it...but not this week :( Just have not been at the right place at the right time.

Doug,
Glad to see you got some of PARL. Did you happen to see my post in Portfolio of the week? Only had a half position in it but caught it nicely from 19.75. Exited at 21.85. I see that you have both PARL and HTRN on your daytrade list this morning. I still own HTRN, from 12.75, an am holding. If you have been watching the stock I'm sure you have notice the wide swing range on it daily. I haven't been playing it like a daytrade but it has presented an opportunity to buy and sell daily because of the wide swings. Yesterday the range was about .55 over the course of the day. I was watching all day and several times it dropped .25 or so and then came back, but always seems to recoup by the end of the day to close near it's open or high of the day. Institutional support of it has increased dramatically over the last several weeks. Also they just brought out a new product, some kind of instrument for Urologists, that is going to revolutionize Urology procedures. Keep an eye on it. Missed you in the game this week.

Ski,
Did you click on the chart itself? That should take you to Imageshack. Then at Imageshack, click on it again to enlarge. IF that doesn't work,
I think it is your pop up blocker. If you disable it for this site, this session, it should work.
In case you don't want to try it, here's what I said:
Beautiful bull flag points to a min. target of $25.50 (possibly $30)
Impressive the way it busted resistance yesterday at $20.
Faces significant resistance today at $22.50.
If it can crash the $22.50 barrier, looks super hot.
I am going to try a daytrade with it today. Market probably won't be very good, and that may affect it. I hope you make a nice pile with it. And Ski, we are glad you post at MM forum.

Doesn't like that $22.50 resistance line. Needs to regroup and punch through it. I doubt if that will happen the next couple of days. Or perhaps even more likely, PARL is going to form another shoulder and then break the neckline for a nice move. Worth watching.
If it is the complex s-s-h-s-s formation, she's coming back to $20 before she starts upwards.

I was out most all day shopping with my wife for a dress for a wedding this coming Saturday.
I called my brokers quote desk several times during the afternoon to check on HTRN and PARL. I also own PTMK and MAIN. I said I thought it was quite a ride up yesterday and that I would be very careful with it today because of it. I don't know what it will do in the near term that's why I took the money and ran yesterday. Anyway when it went up from the open I had my reservations because of the resistance at 22.50 and again at around 25. 22.50 stopped it right at that line and fell the rest of the afternoon to 22 to fill that opening bell gap up. I still would be very careful. It it opens above 22.10 or 22.15 and goes above 22.50 and holds it might be a good intraday play tomorrow as it could easily go to resistance at 25 after that. You will have to watch it closely. It looks like the big move was yesterday.

Doesn't like that $22.50 resistance line. Needs to regroup and punch through it. I doubt if that will happen the next couple of days. Or perhaps even more likely, PARL is going to form another shoulder and then break the neckline for a nice move. Worth watching.
If it is the complex s-s-h-s-s formation, she's coming back to $20 before she starts upwards.
Was anyone watching PARL yesterday. It broke that 22.50 line and was a pretty nice play. Up 1.32 for the day. I wouldn't touch it today with the long weekend in front of us after yesterdays gains.

Doug, how are you liking ABLE? ERS?
Sorry...I couldn't watch after the first hour yesterday...so no trades for me.
ABLE and ERS...now I'd wait for pullbacks...But I don't particularly like trading AMEX stocks(ERS) although I occasionally do...Doug(IIC)
Agree about ABLE. Needs to pull back to the 15 range for me to buy again, but I really doubt that it will too soon.
I think ERS has too much gas to pull all the way back to its gap, but it'll pull back to the mid/low 7's.
Hope everyone is having a nice holiday weekend. Mr. Breakout is updated if you'd like to take a look. I mentioned a few forums including this one in my Weekend Report today.
Thanks, Doug(IIC)

Doug, I do have one question on your S/R's. Do you use price by volume or some other benchmark?
Doug, I do have one question on your S/R's. Do you use price by volume or some other benchmark?
Actually...it is a formula using Fibs, Gaps, MACD, Stochs, RSI, Congestion, Highs/Lows and some other factors. We tried to mimic someone else's criteria about a year or so ago...But I am not the one who came up with it...I just click a key....My friend is the computer whiz. As far as the R1 and S1 I get that from the daytrading site that Spike posted a few weeks ago.
Is sorta strange that we closed right about at today's S1 on both.

Is that good or bad???
The criteria I use for the MoMo list is:
In the top 5% of my RS database which goes from 1-100. I only have access to a little over 5000 stocks for RS so my database does not exactly match other's databases...but the RS is usually within 3. The MoMo stocks must have closed up 2%+ on at least 1.5x ADV. Fairly simple formula.

Great updates, Doug. I especially like the link to the Bank of Tokyo. Will definitely have to check out all of the other sites you recommend when I have the time.
Doug I sure don't know of all the sights on the net for research but of the ones I do know about, yours Is surely the best and If not right up there with them. But thats the reason I have to throw darts not enough time to research thoroughly enough. Now I have a question why did you pick EBAY do you feel that this Is just a short hold or could It run?

You actually daytraded HTRN. I sold it myself today at 14.10 and re-entered it at 13.12. Originally in at 12.75. Couldn't not take the gain when it couldn't hold the big initial gap up. Still love the stock but had to do the intraday trade when I saw it wasn't going to hold. Re-entered at 13.12. Gain on the 2000 shares less the difference in the previous entry at 12.75 vs new entry at 13.12 = $1960.00 gain.
Nice turn of events in my direction today but still hurting from VTIV position and still ended up with initial position of 2000 shares in HTRN. Also stock is up in afterhours. Would sure rather to have had it held the 14 range as opposed to the drop. Still on balance volume and adv./decl. lines trending up.

Can anyone shed any light on this??? On my sites I don't use any IBD info...I have plenty of other sources for similar info and my scans include info/stats not available from IBD...And anyway, I'm not much of a Canslimmer...But I'm wondering?...Where is the line drawn???...I understand copyright infringement...But some things seem to be "Public Information"...In fact, much of what IBD provides is not protected by copyright. Yeah, maybe their EPS rating or Composite Rating and maybe their RS rating(although the RS formula is so simple anyone could do it if they take the time)...but I use my own which is always close.
Here is what I'm talking about: http://istarquest.com
I don't follow the IBD 100...If any of my pix are on it...then it is simply a coincidence. Heck, who knows???...Maybe they read MrBreakout???
Anyway, too bad for those of you who follow the IBD 100...But I guess you should keep your discussions about it to yourself...or so it seems...Best Trading, Doug(IIC)

If you have not been using IBD’s data I would not worry about it! I personally could care less about the 100 ibd list.. They would need to prove you are using their info!

I like to think of the stocks on the IBD 100 list as good shorting canidates.
oops...Will I get sued by IBD for saying that?
I'm very suprised I haven't been banned fron the IBD boards yet. I've been trying real hard, but they let me keep posting.

Ah, but the market can be so unpredictable. It should go back down...but will it?
There is no sure thing.

IIC, I’ve noticed many stocks sitting right close to a triple top. Newborn mentioned it on his thread and so I investigated further into this. Go back One year on the daily charts
STN- right near triple top
DHC- 17.50 17.79 triple top
PVTB 34.76-34.90 triple top
UNFI-same
Notice the amount of stocks sitting right near a triple top.
Now the big question is what direction will the breaks happen!!

These are good scans for "Joe trader". I think a scan that includes fundamentals ie p/e debt growth.......are more useful to "joe investor"

That's a good point. I do have access to P/E's...but I don't have access to Debt #'s except through IBD...and I'm not using IBD info for my scans.
My IIC 100 which I update monthly uses recent eps as well as projections.
One complaint that I consistently hear is that I list too many stocks. However, I'm listing different criteria for each scan...so I tell people to just look at the scans that they find interesting.
I'll think about what type of scan I can come up with for the longer term investors...thx...Doug

Doug a story just came across on ABC that second chance body armor vests are no longer reliable and they are bankrup. Who do you feel would be used to reorder this product?
Vests pose risk, firm says
By John Flesher
The Associated Press
Posted June 23 2005
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. · The nation's largest supplier of bullet-resistant vests to law enforcement agencies is urging its customers to replace vests containing the fiber Zylon, saying they may not be safe.
Second Chance Body Armor said Wednesday it had sent notices to police agencies nationwide. The warning affects about 58,000 Tri-Flex vests and an additional 40,000 Ultima and Ultimax vests with Performance Pacs, the company said in a statement.
New research shows that vests made even partially with Zylon "may fail to perform and result in serious injury or death," it said.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the parent company of Pompano Beach-based Point Blank Body Armor Inc., which makes body armor for the U.S. armed forces, police and federal security agencies, said the company is "quite concerned" about the Second Chance notification.
"We're waiting to get more information," said Ish Burks, a spokesman for DHB Industries Inc., based in Westbury, N.Y. "We're still looking at it. We do use Zylon, but on a very limited basis.
"Everyone in the industry uses Zylon," but safety issues with the material could depend on how it is woven or applied into body armor, Burks said.
In February, Point Blank agreed with the Southern States Police Benevolent Association Inc. to exchange certain models of antiballistic vests containing Zylon for other vests. The agreement followed a suit filed by the PBA in Broward County Circuit Court.
Point Blank said the company had begun to exchange the vests before the lawsuit. It denied all allegations and any liability to the plaintiffs.
Second Chance, based in Central Lake, Mich., is undergoing reorganization in federal bankruptcy court after being targeted in numerous lawsuits claiming its vests made with Zylon are defective.
The company said it would ask the court to devise a procedure for vest owners to make claims arising from the latest warnings.
"While Second Chance has not received any reports of field failures of the products in question, we felt it was our obligation to report these new research findings immediately," said Matt Davis, the company's vice president of sales and marketing.
"The safety and well-being of all the officers who wear our body armor is of primary importance to Second Chance, and we strongly encourage all officers to replace ballistic vests that contain Zylon as quickly as possible," he said.
Second Chance began making vests with Zylon in 1998, saying it was lighter and more comfortable than other fibers used in body armor. The company announced in 2003 it had concerns about the durability of Zylon vests and recalled more than 130,000 of them made entirely with Zylon.
The latest notice pertains to vests containing a mixture of Zylon and other materials.
Lawsuits against Second Chance have been filed in at least 11 states, and federal and state investigations have been started. Seven suits have been filed by state governments.
Doug a story just came across on ABC that second chance body armor vests are no longer reliable and they are bankrup. Who do you feel would be used to reorder this product?
Good question...worth looking into

Cubist Pharmaceuticals (nasdaq: CBST (http://www.forbes.com/finance/mktguideapps/compinfo/CompanyTearsheet.jhtml?tkr=CBST) - news (http://www.forbes.com/markets/company_news.jhtml?ticker=CBST)- people (http://www.forbes.com/peopletracker/results.jhtml?startRow=0&name=&ticker=CBST)) said results from a Phase III trial for Cubicin met its primary endpoints, and said it expects to file a supplemental new drug application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration before the end of the year. Shares gained more than 13% in late trading on the news. Last March, Morgan Stanley said positive Phase III data would likely provide "meaningful acceleration" to sales. The research firm added, "If better than our expectations, the detailed data, to be presented at ICAAC [Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy] in September, could provide upside to our estimates."
Made pocket change on IIJI and LSCP early.

Yeah...saw that.
BTW...Look for a lo vol bounce on the Naz tomorrow. Tomorrow morn is my last chance to end green for the week...Heck, I shoulda bot my contest pix...But there is a big difference between picking stocks that will end up after 5 days and those that will end up after 5 minutes...IIC

Mr. Breakout is updated...Please take a look.
http://MrBreakout.com
Also, some of you may know that I'm setting up various niche websites. If you are bored you can take a look at my latest which I put up last night. It is a dating site (For "general" audiences)...Still have a lot of work to do on it though http://LoveLinksOnline.com
I also have a credit/loan site ready to go and I'm working on a weight loss site. My biggest project is an online gambling one...but there are some legal and advertising issues with it (Guees I could always move to Antigua)...so I'm not sure if that will ever come to pass...If not, I will turn it into a Vegas type site and offer trips and supplies.
Happy 4th...Doug(IIC)

Well...it's do or die time for the Naz IMO...either blow out 2080 or fall back to the 2040's or worse. Doesn't have to happen tomorrow...but there is a lot of resistance here...2080, 2090 and 2100...IIC
I made a whoppin' .17 on CTTY...but I traded per plan...so no problem in missing out...Lost .06 each on DSTI(lucked out on such a minor loss) and the same on a flyer on news...ELN.

BJ'
IPII is fine. This thing is just making a handle; shaking out the weak sisters.
Check out "HOT PICK of the DAY" chart on it.
I think so too Newborn. I was just using it as a blatant profit taking example from yesterday.
Had to leave a bit early today...GGR +.09 and CPKI +.69...all I had time for. Yesterday I was all ticked that I missed out on the BOOM move...that was the reason for the swearing...only lost .13...but then it went up another buck plus...but late last night I noticed that it had pulled wayyyyyy back...Have not looked at today's action yet.

Thanks,

FYI...I might be a little incognito for a couple of days...I had to switch DSL plans at home...both SBC...but of course the 4 day overlap did not occur...got cut off 1/2 hr before the mkt opened and the new service was not activated...apparently it is activated now...but SBC servers to finish the install for the new modem have been down for over 3 hrs...but they apologize.
So, I'm on dial up on my laptop...but I don't really feel like running any scans till I'm back to normal...maybe I'll take a few days off from the mkt.
I don't trade very often at work anymore...but I caught IIJI for .42 today...actually, it was luck because I went to a meeting for 2 hrs and when I came back the dip was just recovering...Had I seen it I would of sold for a loss...worked out...but it kept going at the end...Best...Doug(IIC)
Doug, I love your site. Your scans give lots of good ideas. I actually considered buying DSTI (before the move).
Doug, I love your site. Your scans give lots of good ideas. I actually considered buying DSTI (before the move).
You will find some good one's and you will find some bad one's on my daily lists...they tend to be HIGHLY volatile...But on my Main Daily List and the MoMo lists I watch the one's that meet my preferred price/volume action in the morning...The night before I really have no idea which one's will be on my pared down list 1/2 hr after the open...But remember...I am looking for stocks that I can hold for less than an hour in most cases. Sometimes longer and sometimes for less than 5 mins...it is a lot different than Intermediate term or even Swing trading....THX...Doug

greetings,
Great site Doug,its my first visit,and I am impressed.
Ill recommend and visit often.
cordially Tom
Absolutely Doug. Some of your picks (like DSTI was) happen to be hanging around decent support/entry points that swings look for. Conversely, a lot of you picks aren't close.
Well, The SBC Servers were still down this morn...I called them again and now there is a message on my home machine saying they are back up...But I decided to run some of my scans at work today just in case.
I watched the market early on dial-up but I didn't buy anything today...too bad...looks like I missed the boat.

I HIGHLY recommend that everyone bail on SBC...Geez, I've had them over 4 yrs...now their "TEAM OF ENGINEERS" can't get West LA up...Who are they?...The "B" Team?
I wouldn't mind so much if the "promised" overlap had happened...but c'mon!!!
So I resort to dial up again this evening...I forgot how much I hated it.
But at least Miss Valerie from the SBC Order Dept is my new best friend tonight...Unlike that witch Michelle from SBC Tech Support this morning...Ahh, I shouldn't be so rough on Michelle...but I hate it when people read scripts...I love interrupting them...HEY!!!...Let's have a REAL conversation!

Nice day today...I traded CTTY early for a nice gain and STJ for a scratch. Later I traded BK WYE PTMK...all worked out pretty good.
But I really think it is time for the Naz to pullback. Maybe it will form a handle? A lot of resistance at 2190.

I really don't understand...seems like it is all over the news and everyone I know seems to be complaining about the heat...Personally, I think it is a psychological thing. I don't even have A/C at my house...Although I live less than 5 miles from the beach so that helps...Yeah...it is a little hot and muggy...but what's the BIG DEAL? Better than freezing to death IMO.

Friday...Basically flat...a bit green...made Hot Dog Money and since Wed. was good for me I did OK on the green side this week. Friday: traded ANGO and PXLW for small gains early...lost a bit on DXPE...Late I made a few cents on PSUN.
Been a tough last 8 weeks on the Day Trade front for me...been green each week...but many of them I have just squeaked by...IIC
I really don't understand...seems like it is all over the news and everyone I know seems to be complaining about the heat...Personally, I think it is a psychological thing. I don't even have A/C at my house...Although I live less than 5 miles from the beach so that helps...Yeah...it is a little hot and muggy...but what's the BIG DEAL? Better than freezing to death IMO.
I was out in the Inland Empire today...105+...Actually I liked it...Helps you get rid of the water weight...not that I need to...LOL
The heat is the least of your problems out in the IE. The air quality is horrible. But if you like it so much, you could probably move out there, buy an equivalent home, and pocket about $300K :D
Actually not a bad plan. With your skills you can trade your profits, and in five years, be able to buy a foreclosure, free and clear. There will be plenty of them IMO once these crazy interest only variables expire, and people finally wake up to it.

You are right about that...Smog is much worse than heat...Although the smog is much better than it was in the late 50's and early 60's...I mostly grew up in Culver City...about 5 miles from the beach...I remember taking field trips to places like the LA Arboretum in Arcadia late 50's...My eyes would run...my chest would hurt...YUK!!!
As far as foreclosures...I am anticipating quite a few in the next 5 years...I will comment on that at Mr. B tomorrow in the THIS 'n THAT Section...Doug(IIC)

What, you actually read it? I've lost mine already.
Is it IBD, Rummy or Congress? But yes, one of the three is ready to roll. I always wonder though: why would China want to obliterate their top trading partner? Just don't add up...
Doug, read your real estate take. You think it will take only ONE year... a lot more than my pessimistic 3 to 5, but I guess there are a lot of one year ARMs in the mix. That's some scary stuff. But if long term rates crawl, it'll be a bit of a reprieve, you think?

GM to sell up to $55 billion in loans
Analyst lauds deal as 'big coup' for Bank of America
By Shawn Langlois, MarketWatch
Last Update: 6:45 PM ET July 26, 2005
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- General Motors Corp. on Tuesday said it will sell up to $55 billion in auto loans to Bank of America Corp., a move aimed at raising cash while the automaker focuses on selling more vehicles.
Shares of General Motors (GM: news, chart, profile) jumped on the news, closing up $1.09, or 3%, at $36.96.
Charlotte, N.C.-based Bank of America (BAC: news, chart, profile) will make an initial purchase of $5 billion and will buy up to $10 billion in contracts a year over the next five years.
GMAC originates about $40 billion a year in U.S. auto loans, according to General Motors spokeswoman Joanne Krell.
GM Chief Financial Officer Sanjiv Khattri said the deal will allow General Motors Acceptance Corp. -- the parent's most profitable operation -- to finance more GM vehicles, without placing "undue strain on the balance sheet."
"This further advances GMAC toward its 'originate and sell' business model in U.S. auto finance, providing us far greater flexibility to reallocate capital and further diversify the business portfolio," he said in a statement.
'Critical' for GMAC
GMAC has been a cornerstone of profitability for the world's largest automaker in recent years at a time when slumping car sales has cost the company precious chunks of market share.
In the second quarter, earnings from GM's lending division fell to $816 million from $846 million a year ago, as lower profit from financing was partially offset by the unit's surging mortgage and insurance sides. Despite another strong quarter for GMAC, GM turned in a loss of $286 million. See full story.
David Healy, analyst at Burnham Securities, said that the deal, while big in terms of dollars, doesn't come as a surprise and is in line with what GM has already been doing.
"This is an efficient form of financing since the company was closed out of raising money in the bond market when it was cut below investment grade," he said.
Separately, J.P. Morgan analyst Himanshu Patel reiterated his overweight rating on the stock and lifted his 2006 earnings target.
"By partnering with a third party bank, GMAC has secured another source of funding, a critical step as it attempts to maintain its size despite being junk-rated," he told clients in a note.
A big leg up
For Bank of America, the deal opens the door to growth in its automotive finance business.
"In recent years, our deposits have been growing faster than our loans, and it's an opportunity to put more customer assets on our books," said spokesman Bob Stickler.
It's a good deal for Bank of America because it will increase the yield on the loan portfolio and boost its loan-to-deposit ratio, said analyst Dick Bove of Punk Ziegel.
"GMAC is now junk-bond paper, so Bank of America can fund these loans more easily and at a lower cost," he said. "The banking industry sees a tremendous opportunity to re-penetrate the auto industry. Bank of America scored a big coup here. They got a big leg up by cutting this deal."
Bove also predicted more banks would cut similar deals, with Ford Motor Co. (F: news, chart, profile) and perhaps with DaimlerChrysler (DCX: news, chart, profile) .
Bank of America shares finished down 13 cents at $44.53.

I don't recall saying I ever got a warning letter. However I was contacted by them last year...We came to an agreement which we both agreed to keep confidential...They've kept up their end of of the bargain...And unless they violate that...I will keep up my end of the bargain...I consider myself an "Ethical" Guy.
But...I am still entitled to voice my opinion...Which I frequently do.
As far as Webs...I'd like to hear the story...I get emails from quite a few lately that have heard from IBD for one reason or another. Of course, I keep them all confidential...If you would like to send me the details...or anyone else for that matter...My personal email addy is DougGregory2000@aol.com.
I will give my opinion...But I will not give legal advice...Even though I think I know more about the law regarding this stuff than most lawyers...I don't have that piece of paper that says I passed the Bar.
Actually...I'm proud of 'ya Webs...IIC

Doug, on Mr. B, you've been waiting for a pullback the last couple of weeks or so, and common sense would support that. Yet the market keeps going up. Do you see a "wall of worry" thing going on, where people are afraid to be left behind?
Doug, on Mr. B, you've been waiting for a pullback the last couple of weeks or so, and common sense would support that. Yet the market keeps going up. Do you see a "wall of worry" thing going on, where people are afraid to be left behind?
Wall of Worry...apparently there is not enough worry??? However, I still believe it is just a matter of time...I'm not predicting a crash or anything...just a healthy pullback. It took 7 tries to bust thru 2100 this year...now we are trying 2200. Generally you would look for a big p/b when everyone is euphoric...that doesn't seem to be the case as far as I know....In fact, I sense "Dis-Interest" in the markets generally right now.
It seems that there really is not a whole lot of conviction here. Yes, vol was OK this past week...but almost +6% on the Naz in July and the monthly volume was the lowest since September '04...same on the NYSE...You could say that there was a holiday...but we were lower on the vol than last July too. The 100 DJ Groups have been declining on the A/D/U too...This week we were led by TIRES...that doesn't thrill me much...Although this new Telcomm deal could be good.
Seems kinda Ho Humm to me...which actually suits me fine for DT'ing. Not that the market cares...but I'd like to see a nice summer pullback and then a run from Mid October to the end of the year...I can envision 2350+ by December on the Naz....Best, Doug(IIC)

Well...I guess I should enroll in "Remedial How To Call The Market 101"...I've been calling for a correction for weeks...and it just has not happened...Not predicting a crash or anything...Just a Healthy pullback...But for my trading it really does not matter too much what the market is doing unless it is flying in either direction.
I have done well on the Daytrades this year...but some week's I've just squeaked by...Last week was very good.
Anyway, today I made a major screwup...tried to call the bottom early on CUTR...lost a buck a sh...But the good thing is that I didn't get all frazzled...Went in and made some on MYOG and did good on RNAI...Was still Red for the day...But it is very important to not lose your cool when you make the inevitable screw up....I think the key is to not screw up too often...and when you do...just get back to plan...Doug(IIC)

Doug,
LWAY and ESMC have come back like a house afire. It only took them about 15 months once IBD got through with them. And no, they are not all the way back; they just are headed the right direction.

I know we have talked a lot about IBD lately...the letters and lawsuits aside...And my opinion about their marketing practices and pricing..I grew up on MoMo and then CS...I really don't think it is a bad system...But I do think it is archaic.
Here is a copy of a post I posted at another forum this evening:
It appears to me as an investor who learned Canslim in the '70's and grew up long before that with a Growth Stock mentality that whoever is running the show at that outfit has lost it.
I called for changes in the CS theory over 5 years ago...But I didn't mean throw it out the window and grasp for straws...Too Bad...But IMO just because some Stock Guru did well in the past doesn't mean they will do well in the future...Look at the dinosaurs...They apparently ruled the world for a long time...What happened to them???...They did not adapt.
I re-read the 24 Whatever book the last couple of days...Is that now a joke?...IIC

What's changed is the Internet. Jessie Livermore never traded on the 'net. Add to that the fact that he eschewed charting, and he probably couldn't outtrade me in this environment.
I am not aware of any lawsuits vs. IBD, you, Webs. I did see that Webs said he got a warning letter from them. But hey, them stinkin' Vulcans never did take a regular bath :D
That's okay, Webs, because I'm taking a bath in KBH :D

I was not talking about Webs or probably anyone else you ever heard of...I know A LOT of people...I hear A LOT of things...And yes, I am a busybody...But I can keep confidentialities...Never a problem...But then again...I'm 52...So I've had more time than most around here to meet so many people I guess. IBD is on a legal Warpath...Why??? I have my opinion as to why...But who cares what I think?
BIDU set to IPO on Friday http://sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1329099/000119312505140785/df1.htm#fin13000_8
No trades today as I had to leave just after the mkt opened.

Hello IIC,
I saw your comment on BMHC thread about real estate market. My gut feeling is that there are some areas in USA were housing prices have appreciated way too much. I hae been trying to figure out what might be a best play in anticipation of correction in local real estate market. One that I can think of is bying 2006 PUTS for housing stocks. Any idea as to what might be other good play?
Thanks in advance for your suggestion.
Best Regards,
Stocks.
