XXIA broke out and looks good.
SNDA, one of my favorites, moved up strongly today with volume and looks to break out soon. It looks like now would be a good risk to reward entry on this very nice looking stock.
AMSG has made a new all-time high with volume and looks pretty good.
MNDO is very strong lately.
And portfolio pick TASR broke out, while HANS made a new high. SIM continues to be very strong.
I'm leaving tomorrow morning for New York for New Year's and I won't be posting here again until Sunday.

UNFI broke out over $30 to a new high because of a deal with Whole Foods, a natural and organic foods supermarket where I frequently buy groceries.
Although light on volume, NNDS broke out with some significant block trades and looks good.
MANC has a nice chart - after breaking out from its long base at $5. Today it was up over 20%.
CTSH is a very strong and good looking stock.
I mentioned the breakout of KEYW to a new high, earlier this morning just as I added it to the portfolio. It looks very good.
Recent IPO BLKB looks good - it made a new high today and is one to watch.
Leaders, PMTI and JUPM were strong today, which in my opinion is a good sign for the market.
After ELOS gapped down over 20% at the end of November, I mentioned that the chart was not broken. It was not and looks very good now.
The block trades on MFRI today look very tempting.
There are just so many to buy and not enough money.
And TONS continues to go up tons and tons.
Despite the light volume due to the holidays, the chart for the Nasdaq is looking bullish as it makes new highs.
However, this is a good time to remind myself that any fool can make money in a rising market. Any pride that I have now will probably humiliate me in the future. Bloating about profits in a rising market and then losing as the market turns makes me nothing more than a chump. It is very important to keep your mind calm and clear and to trade without emotion.

TAYD for the daytraders. Also watch SIRI for a breakout, it "closed the window" today on its gap up and is forming a base.
ZEUS made a new high, continuing the move it started at the end of November.
NGPS and ANTP still give me no chance to get in. WEB gave me a chance last Thursday at around $10, but I missed it. At least I got SIM.
Because of a mention on uglychart.com this weekend, TZOO was up over 10% and closed at a new all-time high. Unfortunately, even Ugly himself didn't get in and his order remains unfilled.
After making another new all-time high today, DECK is now at the psychologically important round number $50.
And ugly pick PRFT has a nice chart after touching a new high today.

I went out with some old friends from the University of Akron chess club, where I was a member while in high school. I am not in town often, so it was great to see them and to play some bughouse.
My uncle was there and was telling us about the trouble he had with his neighbors - an older man and woman who were always bothering him. My uncle and his neighbors hated each other until recently, when the husband died.
My uncle believes he killed his neighbor with Feng Shui. He had read in some Feng Shui book that if you did not like your neighbors, you were supposed to put a mirror in your house facing their direction so that their bad karma would reflect back to them. So he put a large mirror in his window facing their house and soon after, the man died.
It is at least a good idea for a kung fu movie.

From the portfolio, a stop was triggered on OMM today and I'm glad to let that one go.
Two recent high fliers, TRGL and PARL are pulling back today, while SIM and HANS pull ahead.
I had an order to buy TZOO, but it didn't fill. Tonight I will reconsider.
ANTP continues to make new highs - congratulations to all ANTP holders.

The market is closed tomorrow (Friday) for Christmas. Volume was light today as everyone took off early for the Holiday weekend.
From the portfolio, HANS is showing some life after doing nothing for the last month.
OMM is the lame dog of the bunch, I will probably cut this one out soon.
CIB looks good.
TZOO looks like it is about to break out. TZOO, TASR, and the Nasdaq all looked poised to break out to new highs. You can't be sure until it happens, but this makes me think we will see a continued rally for the end of '04 and the start of '05.

CNTY broke out to a new all-time high and looks good.
PENN is a very strong and attractive stock. I don't think it will let you down. In mid-October I said it was going to $50 - now I say $100.
CEDC looks like it is about to start a run, after peeking above $30 for the first time.
BEBE and ODFL both look ready to make a move.
The nasdaq is riding its 20dma and looks to break out to a new high.
Minneapolis is the most creditworthy city, while Dallas and Houston are the least.

Portfolio picks, SIM and PARL, made new highs and are looking great.
Because of a mention yesterday on uglychart.com, SNDS was up over 14% today.
I think LMIA has a nice chart for any type of trader and should be everyone's list.
FORD looks pretty good, there were some block trades today that look interesting.
ANGO, up 20% on good news, looks to go higher.
WEB went nuts, it looks great if it comes back to Earth.
CMC passed the psychologically important round number $50 for a new high.

I am in Ohio for the holidays, and one of my uncles is a big movie fan. He knows everything about every movie and goes to conventions, etc... I went to a 3-d film festival with him last summer.
Because of him, I enjoy and watch many old movies. He brought over The Kid a couple nights ago and we watched it.
This silent movie is really funny even though it is over 80 years old. The Kid was written, directed, and starred in by Charlie Chaplin. His co-star in the movie, Jackie Coogan - the "kid," grew up to become Uncle Fester in the Addams Family.
It is a great movie, and the print of the film on the DVD we watched was almost flawless.

MIKR was up over 50% today on good news. I think it is one to watch.
VLLY has almost doubled since its IPO at the end of September. It is a low volume bank stock, but otherwise it looks very good.
Some stocks, like NGPS, ANTP, I want very badly but I never get a chance to get them at a price I want.
MCRI, from the casinos and gaming industry, looks ready to make new highs.
FRD, because of a mention yesterday at uglychart.com, took off like a rocket - finishing up almost 20%.
SNDS, which I've mentioned before, still has a very nice chart.
TASR - is it ready for another run?!?! Looks like it. And it could really go with all the short sellers.
CMN looks good, too.
Recent IPO, JOBS, looks like it is being accumulated.

Portfolio pick, FMD, looks to be reversing up from its 50dma and trend line - probably a nice entry with a good risk to reward bet.
The same goes for STN.
I think STEM looks good for the day or swing trader.
The breakout at the end of the day on Friday for ADSK looks very good.
FRD has a beautiful chart - this is the way a chart should look.
STST mentioned way back on Aug 23rd - before I started the Ugly Picks page, continues to make new highs.
Another IPO and ugly pick, KCI, continues to make new highs. They will both keep going until they stop.
ANTP is too hot for me to handle, but I would like to get my hands on it when it cools off a bit.
The volume in the markets lately could be a sign of a top, but they are trending up so it will most likely continue that way. Trading below 2100 and the 50dma on the Nasdaq would make me feel more uneasy in the trend.
After a 13 hour drive yesterday, I am back in Northeast Ohio - just in time for the blizzard.

After suffering losses in options trading, I have come up with a theory which I call "Min Pain" - derived from the options trading term, "max pain."
I believe that it is extremely important for a trader to be comfortable with their trading. The more comfortable and at peace a trader feels when entering trades, watching their positions rise and fall, taking profits, taking losses, etc... the better they will trade. The better you feel - the better you will trade.
No trader can win with every trade. Losing money is not always a mistake and even a fool can make a fortune with dumb luck. It is especially hard to know if the way you are trading is the most profitable way for you to trade.
I believe that min pain analysis can measure this to some degree. If you are trading and depressed, stressed, anxious, angry or even physically sick, you are not trading in the right system and you won't be successful. If you feel relaxed, satisfied, and in an enjoyable mood while trading, you have a much better chance of being successful.
With min pain analysis, you take some time to consider how you feel about your current and recent trades. You consider if you are feeling bad in some ways, and about what could make you feel better.
"If you find yourself considering, weighing, or judging, then you are either not predefining what a loss is or you are not executing them immediately upon perception, in which case, if you don't and it turns out to be profitable, you are reinforcing an inappropriate behavior that will inevitably lead to disaster. Or, if you don't and the loss worsens, you will create a negative cycle of pain, that once started will be difficult to stop." - Mark Douglas, The Disciplined TraderThe min pain point is the point where you trade your best.

I have now started referring to TRGL as "my baby."
A tree does not grow to the sky. Still, letting your winners run is essential to successful longer term trend trading. As tempting as it is to take some off the table, I will wait until my rising stop is triggered.

I was stopped out of CTRP yesterday in the portfolio. This was probably due to bad buy timing and poor position sizing. It touched its 50-dma today - we will see how it reacts to this. I will re-enter if it shows strength.
I don't usually look at the BB stocks, but ABXA looks good.
STNR looks strong.
And Ugly Pick PKOH continues to perform nicely - it is also one of the strongest stocks in the market.
IIIN, the strongest stock in the market, moved up today with a volume increase - reversing from its 50dma - this is probably a nice risk to reward bet.
If you can afford some for over $900/share - SEB broke out to a new all-time high with volume - looks good. And it is coming up on the psychologically important magical round number $1000.
WEB looks good also.
TONS went up tons today and I think this stock looks great if you can get it at a good price.

I had the second of my semi-annual massages today. I would get one every day, but they are too expensive and I am too cheap. However, I get one every once in a while because I think they are good for your health and they feel really nice.
Scientists are now finding that massage can reduce blood pressure, boost the immune system, dampen harmful stress hormones and raise mood-elevating brain chemicals such as serotonin. - Newsweek, "The Magic of Touch"I think massage is even more important for us stressed out stock traders. Stress, one of my most unhealthy habits, can kill if left untreated:
Stress drives people to an early grave, says a leading physician. It lowers a person's immunity to the common cold and makes him/her more susceptible to ailments like asthma, cardiovascular disease and even cancer...

I watched the Paper Chase last night and thought it was really good. It was a coming of age story about a new Harvard Law student and the pressures of competition. Most people would not consider this a guy movie, but I do. Not a macho guy movie, but a movie with real, well developed men characters - about how they relate to each other and what they think.

The QQQQ just dropped below $40 and all of the block trades are looking very toppish. We'll just have to see how it reacts to its 50dma and the $39 area. 2100 on the Nasdaq. If these areas of support do not hold, there would be a bearish double top chart formation.

Portfolio picks, TRGL and CWTR made my ego swell, despite valiant attempts to humble myself.
PSYS has never stopped going up. I think it looks good - but I prefer to see a move like this without news, but it still looks good.
The same goes for LEV.
NIKU broke out and looks good.
WCG, a recent IPO, looks very attractive.
As for the market in general, it is as simple as this: it is in an uptrend - odds are it will go up. However, it may not, so keep your risk under control.

There have been quite a few block trades on the QQQQ this week. It could be due to options expiring, the fed meeting, new 52-wk highs, or anything. It isn't so important about why - more important is what it means.
Volume represents strength and importance. It is needed to move up. Volume also defines tops and bottoms, whether they be short term or long term. The more volume, the more important that area becomes - for resistance or support.
Generally, I believe that where there is an increase in volume that means there will be a move away from the volume area, one way or the other.

I totally missed the drama in RIMM today, I noticed some daytraders were talking about it, but I didn't see how it halted trading and gapped down once it resumed. That is an example of where even well managed risk can go wrong.

WTW looks like it could be starting a move.

MNDO looks good.
CFCI has a nice looking chart - breaking out of a 5-year base.
The nanotech stocks were hot today NANX, ALTI, NGEN, JMAR, etc... I leave them to the daytraders.
Ugly pick, PROG, continues to continue and looks good.
One of my favorites, MCRI looks like a perfect strong buy today or tomorrow. Another favorite, NGPS continues to party like a rock star.
If you have a chance to get LB at its 30-wk moving average, or any dip, I would do it.
From the portfolio, PARL continues to make new highs. OMM looks to have finally reversed off the 50-dma. TRGL made a new all-time high.
Today was a great day for me. The market has been doing extremely well for the last few months. Anyone can do well in a market like this. I'm saying this because if you let it get to your head, you are bound to go bust at some point. After getting a break and doing pretty well, you have to strive and struggle to humble yourself, because it is really no achievement to make money in a market that is as strong as this. When you lose, you have to move on and keep your confidence and trade without emotion - and when you win, you have to humble yourself and remember the market will stab you in the back when you look away. You are good, but you are not a genius and you have to continue to trade without emotion.
The 5-million block trade on the QQQQ has made me very bullish. Unless there is trading under $40, I believe the markets will rally through the rest of the year.

Here is an article from last week.
In fact, Rogers' calls have been so dead-on lately that now he thinks a short-term correction could be coming in some of the trends he has identified. A long-term bear on the U.S. dollar, he thinks the currency is due to rally in the near term. "Everyone is talking about the collapsing dollar," he says. "Whenever something has been pounded down, that's usually time for a rally," he says. However, he adds: "Long-term I expect the dollar to be seriously depressed." - via the kirk report

Another important lesson for the stock market samurai:
Lesson #2: Swordsmanship means chivalry
If you are physically strong, but not mentally calm, you may win the match but you will never be a true samurai. A stock market samurai wins before they even make a trade. They know they will succeed before they begin. Emotional strength, confidence and discipline allow a samurai to trade without fear, greed or regret. By eliminating ego, their trades are only stepping stones to successfully complete their mission.

Recent IPO JOBS is very strong - huge volume on Friday because it was mentioned on CNBC, I guess.
NRF is another very recent IPO that it worth watching.
Ugly pick and recent IPO SBNY broke out and continues to continue.
CAE ran up on Friday's earnings news - I think it looks like a very safe, strong bet in a strong sector.
ANTP is moving up very fast - one reason is because it only has 700k float. I like it.
One in the portfolio, TRGL, has a nice chart and looks posed to break out.
I really like the look of the SNDS chart.

After I make billions and billions in the stock market, I plan on using it to live forever. Just kidding, but this is a very interesting article.
De Grey contends that we know enough to intelligently map out a program of anti-aging intervention research such that sometime in the next 100 years, and quite possibly much sooner, the average human life span may be 5,000 years, a figure brought short of outright immortality by the small number of people who will die from non-age-related diseases and everybody else who, given the boggling amount of time available to them on the planet, will eventually do something unlucky or stupid like walk in front of a moving rocket car. In de Grey time, the 400-year span between Shakespeare’s England and today would be but the blink of an eye. -- via boingboing
More profoundly, writes Richard Weindruch, a geriatric researcher at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, caloric restriction appears to consistently increase not just the average life span of a subject population, but also the maximum life span or lifetime of the longest-surviving members of a group or species. In other words, CR seems to alter some basic process of aging.

From the portfolio:
OMM is getting smashed to pieces. It has been making an ugly chart.
TRGL is making its move now, after laying low for a while.
SIM went past my stop yesterday, which did not trigger - but is rebounding today.
Here is an email I got which may be of interest:
i'm looking at your portfolioMy stop and position size are determined by the chart and by my rule to limit the loss from each trade to 1-2% of my trading equity. You can read some more about it here. I will try to get into more detail this weekend, when I have some time.
what are the circumstances behind SIM & CACS that allowed a loss greater than 5%?
SIM is up today, so the bottom line there has changed
do you have a strict % of equity loss for sell out?
were you letting a trendline guide your stop?

MSBK is another lightly traded bank stock that looks good.
CRDN continues to be strong and looks to head to $100.
KBH made a new all time high today and also looks very good.
And I really like WEB, which rebounded nicely today.
I said yesterday that below $39.50 on the QQQQ was bearish and above $40 was bullish - I didn't expect it to go both ways. Today started down below $39.50 and then finished up over $40 with heavier than usual volume. That is bullish, but I am weary of it going up much more. I still believe the block trade on Tuesday is significant and will eventually show a vague area of resistance or support at around $40. There was another block trade of 5,000,000 shares after hours. To quote Dave Jennings (who probably quoted someone else), are they buying the dips or are the dips buying?

SIRI finally got a healthy dose of reality.
TRFDF is for the daytraders - who were on it today like white on rice.
Daytraders might also want to watch OLAB.
RIV, the 2nd strongest stock in the market, continues to continue.
The QQQQ was trending up at the start of the day until it reached about the point where the large block trades were yesterday. They were resistance. The market today went up on low volume after going down yesterday on heavy volume. The trend is up, but these are signs that it could be reversing down. I think trading over $40 is bullish and below $39.50 is bearish.

After hours trading in the QQQQ revealed another 4 million share block. 3+3+4 = 10. The 10 million share holder of the QQQQ could have exited their position today. Let's do some math:
Oct 15 -> $35.50 * 10,000,000 = $355,000,000
Dec 7 -> $39.75 * 10,000,000 = $397,500,000
So the profit was a cool $42,500,000. Not bad for less than 2 months (work). That'll make a lot of taxes, but it won't even dent our national debt.
We will see how it plays out, but my guess is that we are in for at least a short term down trend. I will watch to see how the QQQQ reacts to these block trades, its 50-dma and its up trend lines.

I don't like EGHT - but it has a very nice chart set up for swing and day traders. If you are a swing or daytrader, you should keep your eye on it.
DVA broke out and looks pretty good. It has a float of nearly 100 million, which is a little too high for me, with low insider ownership and high institutional ownership. I would rather see really low institutional ownership and high insider ownership. Besides this, it looks good.
PPD is recently strong - if it breaks $50, I think $100 will come soon.
TRMM had some heavy buying towards the end of the day.
ZONS had some volume with price movement up - looks like one to watch for a swing, daytrade or more.
Reality porn TV, now that is a good idea - if you think so, too - check out the chart on PRVT. But it might have climaxed today. If they could only get Julie on the show...
SHR is making new all-time highs and looks good for the IRA.
SNDA broke out and continues to be extremely strong - this is an ideal stock to own.
NGPS is also very strong and is an extremely attractive stock.
I won't touch it, but ISON is for the daytraders for the next few days.
It might be a good time to load up on some KEYW - it is moving up with some volume, looking to break $20.

If my sister and co-worker know about it, I don't want to touch it. If you are in SIRI - be careful. Still, a bubble can go a long way before it pops.
