ASR is making new all-time highs and looks good.
With less than 1 million float and a volume spike today, ABIX looks good for the daytraders - they should keep an eye on it.
TZOO reversed up from its 50dma with volume - it looks like a good time to get some with little risk.
ZEUS broke out over $25 - looks strong and ready to make new all-time highs. Another stock in the steel sector, TONS, is looking great.
HWG is trading under its 50dma and is looking weak.
SIM is getting a lot of interest the last few days - if you could get it at a pullback to around $4.50 - I think it is a good bet.
Recent IPO KBAY looks pretty good.
Starting Wednesday, the QQQ is now the QQQQ, trading on the Nasdaq.
The markets look to retrace a bit from here. The question is whether it will continue down and break through support, or bounce back and break above resistance to new highs. After such bullishness the last few months, I want to see how it reacts to its 50dma, and to upward trendlines.
This 3 million share volume spike in the QQQQ could have significance (i.e. short-term top):

You don't need me to tell you that it's bad for you - that's the whole idea.
The burger, which packs a bulging 1,420 calories and 107 grams of fat per portion, also bucks the trend of fast-food restaurants offering healthier alternatives.I hate when people use the word "tree-huggers." I prefer "health Nazi."
"It's not a burger for tree-huggers," said a Hardee's executive, rejoicing in their defiance of the fad for salads and "Atkins-friendly" menus.

Recent IPO and ugly pick, ELOS, gapped down 20% this morning yet it is still way above its 50-dma and above its trendline. That's because it is up over 300% since August. Gapping down that much would usually be a sell signal and totally screw up a chart, but that is not the case here - not yet at least. Let's see how it reacts to its trendline and 50dma.

I was born in Akron, Ohio. Ohio is called the "heart of it all" because of its shape, location, and its people. I think Akron is the heart of the heart. Here are some interesting quick facts about Akron.
Akron also broadcasts free hardcore porn.

Click here to read about one of the greatest pranks of all time.
"It was the sheer public spectacle of the prank that set it apart—that it was staged not just at a college football game, but at the nationally televised Rose Bowl, probably the most famous annual college football game of all. Added to this was the universal admiration at the skill with which the prank was pulled off."

HRVE is breaking out and showing that it is being accumulated.
PRFT also broke out and made a new high.
Less than a year old, KCI is making new highs and has a strong chart.
VLLY is another lightly traded bank stock that looks good.
ABXA looks like it is headed for a breakout and new all-time highs.
PARL, one of the strongest stocks in the market, finally broke out to a new high and looks strong.
HURC looks to break out to a new high very soon.
DCAI finally changed direction - a tree doesn't grow to the sky. I feel so relieved, it was a much needed correction.

Tonight I watched the first DVD of the Samurai Trilogy box set that I purchased this past summer, Miyamoto Musashi.
This is one of only two or three movies I have ever purchased. The only reason I will purchase a movie is if the libraries and video rental stores do not have it and I really want to see it.
I thought it was great and I am excited to watch the second and third part to this series.
Toshiro Mifune, one of my favorite actors, plays an orphan who becomes a samurai. Like other great samurai movies, you see the distinction between the non-samurai and the samurai. Not only in skill, but in courage, strength and honor. Mifune portrays this perfectly as the orphan grows into and becomes the samurai.
This is another movie for men. I don't think most women will be able to understand it in the same way.

The strongest stock in the market, IIIN, is moving up with volume and looks to break out to new highs. Careful with your position size as it is not very liquid.
In the same sector, WEB broke out and looks great.
CKCM more than doubled in November with a lot more volume than usual. It is attracting attention.
With the move up in Steel, ZEUS looks to be bouncing back from its 30-week moving average support and could be a good risk to reward trade. IST is also looking good. It may be time to watch one of last year's favorites, SCHN, again.
Recent IPOs, MFLX and ANGO are looking like good plays.
An Ugly Pick, TGA, made a new all-time high on Friday and looks good.
RES went nuts Friday - you'll have to watch this one now, too.
This week I will watch to see if 2153.8 or 2050 will break on the Nasdaq

More from Market Wizards:
I learned how to play poker at a very young age. My father taught me the concept of playing the percentage hands. You don't just play every hand and stay through every card, because if you do, you will have a much higher probability of losing. You should play the good hands, and drop out of the poor hands, forfeiting the ante. When more of the cards are on the table and you have a very strong hand -- in other words, when you feel the percentages are skewed in your favor -- you raise and play that hand to the hilt.
If you apply the same principles of poker strategy to trading, it increases your odds of winning significantly. I have always tried to keep the concept of patience in mind by waiting for the right trade, just like you wait for the percentage hand in poker. If a trade doesn't look right, you get out and take a small loss; it's precisely equivalent to forfeiting the ante by dropping out of a poor hand in poker. On the other hand, when the percentages seem to be strongly in your favor, you should be aggressive and really try to leverage the trade similar to the way you raise on the good hands in poker.

The Incredibles was really good. I wasn't looking forward to seeing it because I have been turned off by so many bad animated comedy movies that have come out within the last five years. It also appeared too main-stream and "made to please" (i.e. unoriginal). And I did not see that it had a very high rating of 96% on rottentomatoes.com. So I was pleasantly surprised - it was well made, funny, and had an interesting story.
I also saw Sideways, which was very good. I like Paul Giamatti, and was looking forward to this movie, which was rated extremely high on rottentomatoes.com (99%). It didn't disappoint me and was very funny. I also thought it was well directed and enjoyed some of the seventies-style screen splits, along with the music. I think it is much more of a man's movie - men will be able to relate to and understand it better. I love these types of movies for guys - many Kurosawa movies and also Roger Dodger are of this nature and highly recommended.
I have created a list of recommended movies, similar to the ugly picks page.

Even pomegranate juice, organic vegetables, and daily exercise can't keep away the occasional illness. So I am now taking antibiotics along with the usual antioxidants.
This is why there were no ugly picks for today. I'll put up picks for Monday sometime this weekend.

OKSB is another not-very-liquid bank stock that has almost done nothing but go up for the last several years - why stop now?
I like the looks of DISK - it has had a nice move up with volume the last couple months.
TWGP, a recent IPO, continues to continue.
I think the timing is right to get SNDA and UPL. I think they both look very good.
HANS also made a new high and looks strong. I got this one at $30 last week.
ARLP broke out to a new high and looks good.

More from Market Wizards:
I have learned that when you have a destabilizing loss, get out, go home, take a nap, do something, but put a little time between that and your next decision. When you are getting beat to death, get your head out of the mixer. Looking back, I realized that if I had had a trading rule about losses, I wouldn't have had that traumatic experience... I learned to avoid trying to catch up or double up to recoup losses. I also learned that a certain amount of loss will affect your judgment, so you have to put some time between that loss and the next trade (p.91).I don't like to discuss that [the qualities they were looking for in the "turtles" candidates] because if I told you one of the things we looked for was chess players, and we ever do it again, we would be inundated by resumes from chess players (p.95).

BUCY, a recent IPO made a new high and looks good.
Some block trades and heavier than usual volume on GLYT make it one to watch.
VLCCF broke out to a new high with volume and no news - looks good.
GMR made a new high and has a nice steady up trend since the end of '02.
TGA, one of the strongest stocks in the market, looks ready to break out.
NGPS looks great.

PARL successfully tested its 50dma - bouncing back with nice volume.
JUPM, however, did not. It looks like we're headed to the 30-week moving average.
DCAI has been super strong and looks great. I'd try to get it at a pullback.
The markets took a dip on Friday on substantial volume. Some very short term trendlines were broken and CCI crossed below 100. This tells me it is a good time for swing traders to take profits. I think the market may come back down to reality for a bit. Maybe the big traders took their profits to enjoy the holiday. I think it is a good time for a break.

On my flight home to Ohio today, I was reading Market Wizards. I have read these Wizards books by Jack Schwager in reverse order. The books are very enjoyable to read and can give you a lot to think about.
Here are some quotes that stood out today from the interview with Bruce Kovner:
Whenever I enter a position, I have a predetermined stop. That is the only way I can sleep. I know where I'm getting out before I get in. The position size on a trade is determined by the stop, and the stop is determined on a technical basis. (p.65)
For me, market analysis is like a tremendous multidemensional chess board. (p.76)
First, I would say that risk management is the most important thing to be well understood. Undertrade, undertrade, undertrade is my second piece of advice. Whatever you think your position ought to be, cut it at least in half. My experience with novice traders is that they trade three to five times too big. (p.82)

I think CACS is a good one to short, $10 and the 200dma are too much resistance - it is reversing back down. Also, the CFO resigned.
The importance of volume is shown with the way the QQQ reacted to the 10-million share block trade on Oct. 15 - shown in the chart below. There were also daily volume increases on up days, which showed heavy buying around this time. In the present, as it is making new highs, I am not looking to short but waiting and watching for a point to possibly buy at a pull back. Volume was pretty high on the Nasdaq yesterday and should be noted. Its significance will become more clear as trading continues.

Drunk and blogging again - not a good combination. Don't worry, I have extremely good control of my stock scanning skills and can perform almost without flaw - even drunk. Same with karate. But when I play chess drunk, I suck.
GEOI went completely nuts today - I would keep it on the watch list.
IIIN looks good - had a nice volume thrust with price today - looks like it will break out soon.
FRD is looking good too, check out the chart. Over $8 or so is a new all-time high = no resistance.
FSL, a recent IPO, has a chart that looks like it could give you a nice reward to your risk ratio.
NUCO looks to break out - watch it.
The QQQ made a new 52-wk high today and the Nasdaq is close. Obviously the momentum is up. But it is too strong lately - it will definitely correct at some point. I am looking for a volume thrust in the QQQ, similar to this one, which changed and should change the momentum.

TSRA had a jump on news today, but the chart looks nice and I would say that it would be a good one to pick up on a pullback.
CWCO has had a bumpy ride, but its long term uptrend is still entact. It showed strength in the face of market weakness.
MTEX, an ugly pick, was strong today.
TOPT looks good - strength + volume today.
WLK looks strong as hell too - I would buy these at any dips.

Having a system that fits your style and makes you comfortable in your clothes is important psychologically. Psychology is crucial in any strategic sport where you have to perform on time and think clearly - trading is no different. Your style is what saves you from the psychologically devasting losses. It is a system that you can return to and stay on track. It keeps you steady. It is a reminder that the past is unimportant - to concentrate on the present in regards to the future.

Most of the time, if you are lucky enough to hear anything about cutting losses - you hear something vague like "cut your losses if it drops 5%." In a vague way, that is good advice. It at least gets you out of a losing trade. However, you can still lose all your money in a week or two following this rule. For example, if you put all your money plus margin into one stock and it drops 5% - you are down 10%. Do this a few times in a row and you are out about 30%.
A better way is to limit your loss for each trade based on your portfolio size. For example, a 1-2% maximum portfolio loss on each trade, and you can last a long time - especially if you let your winners go as far as they can.
I made a lot of mistakes before I understood this, and I continue to make mistakes even though I know this much.
But I did win at poker tonight - rockets again!

Have no fear - eBay has re-opened bidding on the famous grilled cheese sandwich!
It was delisted because eBay thought it was a joke, after bidding reached over $20,000.
It is currently up to $15,000 with over 6 days left for bidding.
This is great news for any of us who might want to sell grilled cheese sandwiches for thousands and thousands of dollars.
Now, if they will only put these boobies back up.

Many people starting off in the market think that you must be a daytrader if you are going to trade stocks. Or they think they must be a long term investor. They have a preconception of what it is that they are supposed to be and so they try to fit into it. But I think it takes a long time to find your style and a system that fits your personality. It is an ongoing process. But I think it is very important to find a system that you fit into comfortably. Instead of pulling your hair out each day, it is important to find a system where you are comfortable with losing as well as with winning as well as with not making trades. And you have to have enough control to stick to what works and feels right for you.
I believe that whether a person daytrades, invests for the long term, swing trades or whatever they do with almost any system - even throwing darts - by keeping a tight limit on risk with position sizing and stops - and no limit on gains - it isn't hard to come out on top.

Low float stocks are still at it, as you can see from OLGR, SHF, FSTW, SYBR and especially MAHI - the trading at the end of the day for BLUE makes it look like it might be the one to watch for tomorrow. Also MSGI.
CLFC looks pretty good - for a swing trade also.
NGPS looks good - it was up today because of an IBD article of the weekend.
PROG, which I've mentioned before, had some block trades today. I think it would be a good risk-to-reward buy at around $10.
I think Turkey is looking pretty good for Thanksgiving - don't stick a fork in it yet, it's just getting hot.
QSND has been on fire - it's one for the crazy day and swing traders to watch and play with.
TWGP, a very recent IPO, looks good but it is hard to read the cute, little tiny chart. However, other secret indicators I use, combined with the little chart data available, is telling me that it is worth watching and even buying.
PRAA is making new all-time highs and looks good.
NANO is showing life again and might be a good play.
After taking a beating earlier this year off its 2003 rally, HRT is looking good again.
Let's not forget HWG - looked very good today.
I am wondering if the recent rise in the markets will just make a double-top chart with January's peak, or if it will be the beginning of a second leg up in a bull market that started in 2003.
Starting very soon I am going to start a "mock portfolio" experiment. It will consist of three parts:

Speaking of non-violent resistance, a man set himself on fire today in front of the white house. It doesn't say, but it must have been in protest to Bush and/or Iraq. Secret service agents surrounded him and paramedics administered aid. It reminded me of the Vietnamese Buddhist monks who lit themselves on fire in protest to the Vietnam war (picture to the left).
The idea is that instead of acting in violence towards others against what you think is wrong, you instead sacrifice yourself. Similarly, Gandhi fasted. It is about acting out of love and sympathy instead of hate.
I think most people dismiss it as insane, but I think it can be very inspirational. I didn't know that it was possible for a person to light themselves on fire, remain completely still, and then blow away as ashes with the wind. I wanted to know how it was done, so I took a ten day meditation course in India. Now I have a better idea. If you have time and you are interested, you should definitely take one of these free courses.

Our world is wracked with violence and war. But Jesus said: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God" (Matt. 5:9). Innocent people, at home and abroad, are increasingly threatened by terrorist attacks. But Jesus said: "Love your enemies, pray for those who persecute you" (Matt. 5:44). These words, which have never been easy, seem all the more difficult today.It is so refreshing for me to read this letter, when Christianity today seems more like a politically conservative team than a way to live spiritually. Mixing of religion and politics is not at all new. The way they have and continue to get people is by telling them that they "must have faith. " You can't think about it or use reasoning, you just have to believe that Jesus is the son of God and that all other religions are wrong - or, for example, that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction and are aiding the terrorists.

From the volume advances:
WSBA is another low liquidity bank stock that has done nothing but go up for the last 4 years.
I would start a position in KONG if it made a new all-time high over $10.50.
CCJ looks good, $100 for sure.
VSEC looks like it is holding at its 50dma, might be a good risk to reward bet.
I would watch ALVR. If it makes new 52-wk highs, I would buy.
from the top 100:
HWG, since breaking over the psychologically important $100, looks like it will now go to $200 quickly. It is very strong, bouncing off of its 20dma. Now, will KMRT do the same?
HANS broke over $30 - I think it looks great. I will put in an order at $30.
Some block trades on SBAC on Friday make me think it is a good swing trade for this week - it looks ready to pop.
SWN broke $50 and looks good.
DECK looks like it will never stop.
The market has been super strong lately, but it is also over extended. A lot of stocks are also over extended. I wouldn't buy anything over extended, and I wouldn't short anything super strong. This week I will look to buy strong stocks that aren't over extended. I am also interested to see if the QQQ, Nasdaq and DJIA can make new 52-week highs.

There are some false charts going around, but here is a supposedly authentic chart showing average IQs of states and which candidate for president they voted for.
By the way, this page makes a good faith attempt to estimate average IQs by state from SAT and ACT scores. The methodology is far from bulletproof, but the author's results sound not too implausible: his estimates range from an average of 94 in Mississippi and South Carolina to 104 in New Hampshire.

My Jesusland post is getting a lot of traffic, I guess because it is coming up 8th on a google search for "Jesusland".
My second most popular post is Heian Shodan, which is 23rd on a google search for "heian shodan".
And the next popular post is about TZOO, which is 43rd on a google search for "TZOO"
This post is an experiment with a title derived from the top ten gaining queries on Google.
In other news, someone is going to sell a grilled cheese sandwich for at least $15,000 on eBay.

I have further refined the volume advance page, so that it automatically sorts out stocks that are trading at less then $1 and where the volume is less than 75000. This usually sorts out 100 stocks or so and brings the list down to around 150 - which can be scanned daily in no time at all. In my humble opinion, this is a great resource available only at uglychart.com.
I am also thinking about keeping market data stored in a database so that uglychart.com will automatically point out ugly picks that are pulling back to their moving averages or pivot points - a good place to buy or add to your position. I don't know of any other website that does this for free. I will keep you updated on this progress.

CDSW broke out from a long base and looks good.
WEB is strong since its breakout in mid-October - it is one to watch to get at a pullback.
SFCC is making new all-time highs and looks good - probably one to try to pick up around its 30-week moving average.
ALDN broke out to a new high over $30.
If you could buy ECIL at its trendline which started in the beginning of 2003 - it would be a good risk-to-reward bet.
BKE broke out on earnings and looks okay. It is one to watch at least.
KEYW, an ugly pick from September, broke out and went up over 17% today. I think KEYW looks very good and has the potential to go a lot further. I will definitely watch to buy this at a pullback, if it pulls back.
TNH's chart got a little more fugly today. It is at its up trend line now - will it reverse? Doesn't look like it, but it is something to watch for. I would also like to see how it reacts to its 30-week moving average.
JUPM is at its 50-dma, will it bounce or drop to its 30-week moving average?
KMRT broke the one-oh-oh, as did TZOO - now to 200? Or is that it? These round numbers have psychological importance. I think they do with eBay bidding, also:
Most people bid in round numbers like $15, $30 and so on. You will want to place your maximum bid at odd numbers like $37.51 which trumps both $37.00 and $37.50.

The housing boom rolls on, but it can't last forever - nothing does. Buying a home is one of the biggest investments a person makes in their lifetime. I dream of owning my own home as much as the next person, but I won't buy until I see that real estate prices are reaching multi-year lows. And people stop telling me "real estate always goes up!" If I have to rent for the next thirty years, then I will.

I sold three Michael Moore autographed books on eBay for a total profit of around $130. The last book I sold, which cost me $16 and change, sold for over $88 - which was over two times the amount I got for the second book. Perhaps because people are Christmas shopping? Or because Michael Moore is no longer on tour? I don't know. This was the only book I sold after the election.

Further evidence of yesterday's post about how becoming a millionaire has less to do with how much you make and more to do with what you do with your money is the number of lottery winners that go bankrupt.
Evelyn Adams, the N.J. lottery double-winner, learned these lessons the hard way.
"There are a lot of people out there like me who don't know how to deal with money," laments Adams. "Hey, some people went broke in six months. At least I held on for a few years."

Is she roundin' the horn? The QQQ crossed below CCI 100, so some swing traders might want to lock in their gains. Whether this will lead to a break in the up trend line or not, the market looks like it needs to take a breather after its recent climb. The numbers to watch on the Nasdaq are 2000, its 50/200-day moving averages, and the up trend line.
MAHI went up nearly 300% today on no news like ANLT yesterday - these really low floaters are being day-traded up. This seems to happen every now and then.
FSTW, ANGN also. If you want, you could search stocks for float of around 1M and watch them tomorrow morning to buy if they start to run. TRFDF only went up 40% - so it could go up another 400% or so tomorrow. Maybe ASAA is next?
MTEX did great today - I mentioned it when it broke out at the beginning of October - since then there was a great chance to pick up shares at a pull back to the breakout point. I missed it, damnit.
ASVI broke out - looks good, maybe if you are lucky you can get it at a pullback to around $40.
It was pretty exciting today at the dojo. Two blackbelts got into a fight and were screaming and fighting. When they were sparring, one hit the other and the other accused him of doing it on purpose. Sensei had to go and break it up. He said it was the first fight in 40 years. If two blackbelts start fighting, get out of the way.

I played in a poker tournament tonight and won. I played this one pretty well - cutting my losers and letting my winners run. This is the same with the stock market. I was more prepared for the large blinds at the end and adjusted my strategy. I also got some pretty good cards.
In the last hand I went all in with two aces and the other guy had a pair of tens. An ace was turned over on the flop.
Did you know blue chip stocks get their name from poker?

We should have let them go when they wanted to leave. But no, we had to kill half a million people so they'd stay part of our special Union. Fighting for the right to keep slaves - yeah, those are states we want to keep.

I wear a shirt that says "Future Millionaire" on it to work somedays. I always get a few comments. After I become a millionaire, I will change the 'm' to a 'b.' After reading The Millionaire Next Door, I realized that it didn't really matter how much money you make - it is more about how you manage the money that you have. The number one trait that millionaires have in common is that they are frugal. For example, going to the library to rent movies instead of to Blockbuster. Or cutting your own hair instead of going to a barber. Here are some other tips.
