Picked this one up on screener.  There's less percentage gain on this than my usual picks, but I like it because it's currently running on very high volume (you can actually see the buys coming in each second).  It's one of the easier/safer buys since I have a midterm and project to work on this week.

DGRI running past $.040 now.  There's a 10Q expected to come out this Friday that is expected to be positive.  I wouldn't hold too much past the news release though because a selloff usually occurs unless the news is really good.

Got out of LFBG at $.011 and bought into DGRI after its drop.  Normally I would just avoid a stock if it plummets that much, but there was a huge 11M trade just now so it might recover quite a bit. We'll see. Smiley

Breaking past $.009 now.  I'll see how it does closer to $.010 (psychological barrier) before deciding whether to sell.  It doesn't really have any historical resistence until about the $.012-14 range thogh.

GNXE too slow, but I'll be watching it to buy in when volume picks up.

In the mean time, bought into LFBG.  This one has been on an uptrend for a while.  It has somewhat of a stair-like structure, so it's a pretty nice chart.

Volume picked up today again so I took a position at $.0072.  Will probably just go for a quick gain on this while waiting for a better stock to come along.

LFBG at $.0072

Stopped out at $.24 - might buy back in lower depending how it goes.

But a gain of 700% is quite more than enough for me.  I might just take a break from trading for the rest of this week maybe. Tongue

Recent volume spike on another low-float stock.  I might buy into this one next if LOCN seems too high to go back into.

LOCN is supposed to have reverse merger news coming out Monday, so I'll be holding to see how high it can go.  Will have to watch closely though because it's already pretty risky not selling after 100% gain. -_-

PTEK looks like it's finishing its pullback, so I might buy in if the volume starts picking up.  There's a price target of $1.25 for it by about Nov.2.

In the meanwhile, I picked up IMAI yesterday at $.11; it just went to $.16 and I sold 3/4 my shares for a nice 50-ish% gain. Grin I'm keeping the remaining 1/4 of my shares to see how high it might go.

Sorry last two picks only watched because they failed that breakout check. Tongue

Just got into PIP though. Volume is very heavy and it got listing compliance yesterday.  There's a report that it may run from $2 to $20, but I'd be happy with just $3.

PIP at $2.60

CYCA kind of slow today but I'll wait until Monday to see if it does anything.

Found VIDA though.  It just received two production contracts.  The volume looks good, but I'm going to watch that it doesn't go below .09 first.

Couldn't find anything to buy today, but I'm watching this one for coming weeks.  Bollinger bands are coming in sharply, STO and MACD are near crossing.  The bands haven't pinched all the way yet, so I'm still waiting before I decide whether to buy in.

Got in a bit high though, should just buy at ask next time instead trying to get it cheaper at bid.

Broke even with CHIO but I got out of ANO at $1.28 (28%). Grin It looks like a genuine breakout though (high volume and above 200-day SMA), so I might be looking to buy back in when it's less overbought.  It might just fly past my sell point now though, since that's been the pattern with my trades lately. <_<

Announcement of possible merger:
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/China-INSOnline-Corp-Entered-iw-2064498280.html?x=0&.v=1

I couldn't find any information on the company supposedly buying up CHIO shares though, so I'm going to watch it a bit more first before buying.

A huge block of 2.7M traded this morning in one go (the avg volume for a *day* is normally only about 100k).  Price remained relatively still after that one jump though so I'm waiting to see if it picks up again or pulls some.

0.01 now (in at .008). Cheesy

Watching what happens at close though because if it doesn't move up more, it'd risk being a doji or at least spinning top (reversal).

Like the upward trend over the last few days on this one, but would like to see a bit more volume.

Took a moderate position in this one and will be watching a bit closely if it breaks the trend.

Sold half at .079 and letting the other half sit through .09 right now.  First time not selling everything completely but it's nice not to watch it run higher than I sold for now. Smiley

Almost sold today but I might see how it reacts to this news released after hours:

Sunvalley Solar, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board:SSOL.ob - News), a leading solar power technology and solar system integration company, today announces its revenue outlook for 2010 and 2011.

For 2010, Sunvalley Solar forecasts revenue in the range of $5.5 million to $6.0 million. That would be an increase of 25% to 36% over 2009's net sales of $4.4 million, reflecting the continued strong demand for their solar power solutions.

For 2011, Sunvalley Solar anticipates revenue in the range of $8.0 million to $10.0 million. That would be an increase of 39% to 73% over the midpoint guidance forecast for 2010. The increase is attributed to recently announced commercial solar installation contracts as well as a strong sales pipeline.
