Into SRTY at $24.8
Got in a little early - but will see if tomorrow drops before selling

Going to either sell or buy more of SRTY tomorrow depending how the market reacts to Bernanke.

Watching TSTRQ for exit.  If it doesn't break .0168 soon, I'll just take profit at .0160 (in from .013).

Watching to see if the DOW holds above 11.15k here - think if it breaks that, then it's a signal the current rally is over.

11.15k broken - should be downtrend now. Tongue Loaded more SRTY (but will fill the last 3rd tomorrow).
Let's see if I can predict the markets a third time in a row. Tongue

Can get out of OPSY at .011 right now... but it might go higher later in the day. Not sure. -_-

Gotta go to some mandatory class orientation now though <_<.  I guess I'll hold - will be so mad if I lose out as a result.

Out half of URTY at 44.50.

Zzz got out full at 45 actually. -_- My order didn't make it because of the classroom internet. <_<

I guess I'll wait to see if the market crashes again this Friday instead (and buy SRTY again to short).

Yeah - that's the last straw.  No more morning classes or anything at all during market hours.
OPSY just barely missed my sell limit before tanking and I got out of URTY prematurely.  Going to hope for a bounce on OPSY but otherwise a lot of cleaning up to do. <_<

Moved everything from LBAS to RYUN this morning.  Didn't like the gapdown on LBAS during a good day and RYUN looked a lot better holding its previous day's highs.

Also not going to wait for anyone to get on chat for buy/sell points anymore.  Too costly - missed 3 potential exits on LBAS the last few days as a result.  I'll still post stocks + my own entries/exits here and you're welcome to discuss here, but it's on you to get in or out yourself.

RYUN is back - just broke $1.20 today.  It fell a lot after the debt ceiling crisis (but nothing changed about the company).  Got in a modest amount and will see how close it can get back to its $2.00 range.

Market down 400+ pts and LBAS still at $1.00 - lol didn't think I could have it both ways. XD
SRTY +15% and LBAS +4%

Out half of SRTY at 26.5 (from 23.2) - saving half incase the market goes lower mid-day when activity is least.

Haha, it's as if penny stocks move inverse of the market.  LBAS up to $1.03 now and the market still going down so SRTY is at 26.5 again (will see if we can break today's resistance).

New lows on the NASDAQ and Russell today (expect DOW will probably follow soon).  Going to hold SRTY for tomorrow as I expect we might continue down more.

Planning to sell off SRTY tomorrow morning and then buy into URTY depending how/if we sell off.

MACD (both 30 min and daily) is about to cross on the DOW, NASDAQ, and Russell, but they haven't *actually* crossed yet so I'm going to wait for that.

Back into LBAS at .96 on STO and MACD cross; same amount I had earlier but obviously lower price point.

Market is also down so yay for me on SRTY. Tongue  MACD 30min looks bad (good for me) on the Russell and DOW, but they're about to cross up on daily, so I'll probably get out soon.  I'm guessing the market might trend a little lower before heading up again in the next couple days but we'll see.

$1 just now broken on LBAS - hopefully someone read my post for $.96 and got in too... if not I don't think it's too late yet (but don't buy >$1.10).

MMTC also creeping up.  Hoping for a pullback to $.0080; otherwise I'll pass (or maybe I'll bite.. but I'm in LBAS and SRTY already so..)

Bah got out at open - market dropped overall today.  Watching for a bit.  If the DOW bounces back up over 11.4k, I might buy a short ETF (either SQQQ or SRTY for highest leverage).  Need to confirm we are back in a multi-day downtrend and not just a brief pullback.

SQQQ

SRTY

Bought some of SRTY (seems highest %) when DOW was about 11.4k.  Not expecting anything drastic in the next few days but just a small pullback from the recent rally.  More or less I'm trying it out because it's just my first time buying an ETF. Tongue

Bah, missed it - MMTC hit $.018 again from $.012 <_<

Took a small position in LBAS instead.  $1 clearly broken and it seems to finally be running (as opposed to just steadily increasing).

Watching MMTC for re-entry.  It pulled back just as expected. Grin Hoping it dips to .012 without dying though...

$.0194 resistance now - Sold half and seeing with the rest if MMTC can get to $.030.

Forgot to post this one yesterday... would have been a nice 50% sorry
UNVC - $.0040 (yesterday at .0020)
UNVC

Some others I'm keeping tabs on:
LBAS at $.82 (for pullback)
LBAS

RVNG at $.020 (very thin, moves a lot w/ few trades)

Out the rest of MMTC at $.016 - can't watch this tomorrow morning because of finals. <_<
Going to keep it on watchlist though to get back in when it goes back to the daily support (tomorrow or next week).

Second run on MMTC.  50% gain again and still moving up. Grin  I think it's forming a solid multi-day pattern as well (step-like):

Also LBAS is still moving up steadily (Sara would be up 70% right now but I don't know if she actually bought it) - great pick and good job.

Market is also still going down about 3% a day so buying SDOW or SQQQ would be an easy way to make 3x the amount the market goes down - for those who'd rather not buy actual stocks.

Chart I'm following for MMTC.  If it breaks that 12-13 resistance, that'll be awesome.  If not, we have the multi-day support line now so it's likely to try again later.

Get in near today's support line if you can.

A lot of stocks running this morning...  In particular:

MMTC at $.0048 - thought this was too high so many times last week
MMTC

BIEL at $.014 - passed last week due to low volume
BIEL

Took a position in MMTC at $.0087 because the volume is very good.  It's also following an upward trend in the 1-day chart, so I'm going to ride it up to about 12-ish and I'll be content, just sell. Tongue

Also keeping an eye on GPLS.  The chart looks new so it can start a nice uptrend if volume comes in.

GPLS at $.30
