Got into this one early morning.  It has a light float and moves easily on low volume.  Also has relatively no history like my last stock, so I don't plan to stay too long.  I might leave a small position this time though incase it goes much higher.

DGMA at .006

Was watching this one this morning - it only recently started picking up a lot of activity and hasn't really had much of a history so it's hard to judge resistence levels.

The buildup in volume was very good all day though, so I went ahead and got a small position at .06 - rather high for me but I don't expect to stay in for more than a day.  It pretty much closed at height of day, so I'm expecting decent gap up tomorrow.

HELI at .0659
HELI

If you haven't been able to tell already, I've been trying to just get out most of the trades with modest gains.  Tongue

Some others I'm watching:

QASP at .0042 - pinchplay I think so it'll probably start dropping soon
QASP

DVAX at $1.79 - large buys last couple days, might bounce.. waiting on more volume to confirm.
DVAX

EDWY at $.003 - some large buys also coming in as well.. waiting on more volume to see if anything happens.
EDWY

Caught this earlier on screener.  Bought in at .008 and accidentally left the sell limit at .009; didn't think it would hit that quickly but it's going for .010 now.

APTD at .009
APTD

The volume looks good for a continued run, but unfortunately my funds are unsettled. -_-

Can't buy anything for two days so I'll just be waiting for a pullback on ATWT.

Out at $1.94.  I feel like I played it perfectly this time (as in the stock went exactly to each buy/sell point I wanted it to), but the chart is pretty strong as well.  Maybe it'll explode the day after I sell out. <_<

Even if it closes high though, it risks forming a bearish candle (long tail), so I'm quite happy with what I've got.  Definitely watching this to buy on pullback later though.

Bought this stock after its initial run about a week ago at $1.50.  It's been climbing nicely so far.

EFOI

The history of it shows some significant resistence in the $1.84 area, but if it breaks that, the next area would be $2.40-ish.  It closed near height of day today so I'll be watching it Monday to see whether to sell. Grin

The stocks in the previous post are mainly on my watchlist for longterm plays, unless some really bad news comes out for them.

The ones I'm currently playing are ENTI and SSWC, which have risen and fallen by large percentages in the past couple months:

ENTI I got back in around .003 after exiting at .010.  I'm currently watching that it breaks .006 before considering holding until .010 again.
ENTI

SSWC just bottomed out last week so I'm watching for more volume before I decide to jump in.
SSWC

Also watching AUTH. If it breaks the $3.80 barrier, its next resistence is $8.00.  Its share price dropped from $8 to under $4 in 2008 and hasn't recovered yet.
AUTH at $3.15
AUTH

News is that the company regained a key customer (not announced yet).  The reason it dropped from $8 to under $4 in 2008 was because it lost HP.
http://www.reuters.com/article/idCNSGE64C0KN20100513?rpc=44


RPC just got an estimate for $4 share price, $8 if FDA approved, but it was only at $1 today (ran to $1.40 so far).
RPC at $1.40

ENTI at $.01 now - announcement coming this Friday (14th) in prep for its June 1 launchdate.  Watching more carefully now because $.01 has major resistence in the past year or so.  The next would be $.024

Into ENTI at $.007 (I should have just stayed in. Tongue )

Huge 9M buy at end of the day + up to $.008 now so it looks great for next week. Cheesy

Stopped out of POSC.  Hope you got out as well Asee.  Wasn't too happy with the stock being low on volume already + breaking support trendlines so the bad news (no partnership mentioned yet, more delay) was kind of expected.

I'm watching for entry on ENTI again or IHSN.

Gah #2... EVXA now at .0016 (+100%).  Oh well.

ENTI now at $.0065, so I'm happy with that. Tongue (was in since $.002).  Am considering selling at $.007, depending on how strong the run gets.

I'm expecting either POSC or ENTI to dip to the trendline today (POSC for $.185, ENTI to $.0028).  Funds finally settled but I can't decide which I want to go into. Tongue ENTI seems to have much better range of fluctuation though and more volume, but the POSC event is upcoming Wednesday.  Hmm..

Was already in ENTI at $.002 but it was a very small position.

Gah... was considering this one at $.004 this morning when it already ran 100%.  Now it's at $.0078 (200%).

EVXA at $.0078
EVXA

I think I'm going to fill up on POSC for next week.  ENTI didn't really dip at all, so I'll have to make due with the small position I already have in it.

POSC (in at $.205): It closed right on my bid at the end of the day; either I'm getting better at trendlines or I'm buying in too high. Tongue
POSC

ENTI (in since $.002): Up 100% already but it looks good for an even stronger run past $.005 next week.  Only have a tiny amount in the stock though; was really hoping for a pullback to buy more under $.003 but it didn't happen. Sad

Bought into ENTI at $0.002 yesterday and watched it go to $.005. Cheesy

ENTI

It's supposed to be releasing a new product on June 1, so there is still time to get in on pullbacks.  I really wanted to sell yesterday and buy in later when it dips, but then I might not get back in (funds have to settle Tongue ).  I'll consider selling when my other positions close first, so I can buy in if it dips low enough.


POSC also ran back to $.20-$.23 range from $.15-ish.  I hope you managed to buy in as you've been waiting on that one for a long time.  My funds were tied up, but I guess I'll be happy with ENTI for now (maybe you want to buy that after you're done with POSC, which actually sounds like a good idea now that I think of it).

Sorry, short rant. Tongue CHCI running past $3.80 now, I got out wayyyy too early at $2.40. XD

Also out of POSC at $.22 - got stopped out.  Looks like the merger news is being delayed. Undecided

I might go back in closer to the announcement.

New stocks I'm watching:
CSNT at $3.25 (bit high now so waiting for pullback but it has no resistence until $6)
CSNT

HNAB at $.32 (picked last week at $.26, waiting on pullback)
HNAB

CIGX at $1.98 (high volume + price up today but not sure if breakout yet)
CIGX

INSM at $1.17 (just broke upper resistence today, watching for run)
INSM

FBC at $.89 (rumors of some large companies buying into the stock)
FBC

I'm leaning closest to buying into FBC or INSM tomorrow after funds settle.

Yes, supposedly the news for the partnership/buyout is delayed to the event on May 5 for POSC.  I'm just not patient enough to wait, so I'll buy in again closer to that day. Tongue

If you are still in it though, I suggest you wait rather than sell for a loss.

Got my fill into POSC at $.211 now.  I'll be happy with any sell over $.25, but will see how things go after the news next week. Smiley
POSC at $.211
POSC

Short rant on CHCI though... it's running past $2.82 now when I only sold at $2.40.  I feel like I made the same mistake of selling early as I did on JOEZ. -_-
CHCI

Will definitely consider a small position if it dips back along the SMA.

Some others:

Very nice year-long chart and it's an AMEX stock.
BNX at $.68
BNX


Pullback finishing on a few older stocks picked this week:

ALAN at .36

POWN at .56

BBX at $2.80 - broke above the 200-day SMA now and has some huge bids showing up (250k orders).  Picked this one way back at $1.70 and am still in it, though I plan to start playing the rises/falls a bit now.

Out of CHCI - it ran to $2.4 so far; I'm happy with that. Smiley

Right now I'm trying to get into POSC at $.20 or lower though because there's now an announced date for the news of its merger (next week).

Some others I've added to watch today (making a habit of watching a stock a couple days before jumping in now):

AMFI has high volume and a chance of getting to $1.50, but it needs to break $.90 resistence first.
AMFI at $.89
AMFI

HEB has been creeping up slowly since it dropped.  It's almost a straight line of gradual increase, and it's also an AMEX stock.  Might be building for a breakout if given the volume.
HEB at $.80
HEB

HNAB ran over the last couple days but can go much higher toward the $.3-4 range if it breaks $.29.  Will be watching for that and hopefully getting a pullback as well.
HNAB at $.26

saw the news on POSC ...I was going post it up too. lol. Good thing I decided not to buy in last night when I looked at it.. took me a while to decide though..this time I'm going in on Friday...I'll make sure to use the buy-sell limit in case I forget like last time...hehehhe

It actually went higher towards the end of the day, so that might have been the reversal right there.  I bought about half my position at $.21 instead of $.2 (didn't look like it would get that low).  I'll watch if it dips lower to buy the rest of my position tomorrow, but if it starts to break out, I'm just going to fill up then.

BBX jumped to $2.60 today... on news of hosting a cancer awareness night? O_o Ah well, can't complain. Tongue

POSC is also at $.25 - that was an awesome pick - just hope you actually did buy it. Smiley


This is one I've bought into before back in January.  It's fairly popular (lots of news on it), so it's worth checking back on from time to time (too high to buy now though... unless you're willing to hold).
DEAR at $3

CHCI is running again today... watching for an exit point now. Smiley

ABK at $2:

The volume is slowing down a bit though, so I'd watch for that first.

You might want to look at POSC again.  It seems like it might drop back down to the .15-16 range.

There's rumor of a merger on that one: http://pennystockgurus.blogspot.com/2010/04/sswc-merger-on-horizon.html

There's no set date on the news though.  It's good that it dipped back down today.  I would not want to get in any higher than .0005, maybe .0004 if possible.


These are a few I have on my list for later.  Wouldn't buy in until I see them actually about to run, but they're in a good uptrend formation and following right above the SMA (good entry point).

POWN at .55

BBX at 2.20 (called it much earlier around 1.73 though)

Good call on POSC.  Minimum on was on Thursday but it's definitely a good entry Friday as well. Smiley You can already see the "lows" getting a bit higher though - will be looking forward to Monday.

Got to finish with CHCI first though. Grin The level2 ask is very thin on this one and can run very easily, but I'll probably be happy with an out at $1.84 or something - still a pretty easy gain for having just bought in yesterday.

I'm back into CHCI at $1.74 - that was a very weird open, didn't expect it that low but I can't really complain. Tongue Kind of scary though, so I'm going to watch that it stays above $1.80, otherwise I'm out again (it's doing good so far at $1.88).

You were right about POSC; it'll probably bottom on Friday.  I'd watch for a reversal signal on the candle stick charts (doji, inverted hammer, or hammer would be best - see Major Patterns).  Edit: If you look at the chart now and it closes at least around .14, it will be a very good inverted hammer. Smiley
POSC

BBX is also running... I've been watching it since it bottomed at $1.70 about last week.  Just a very good formation along the 50day SMA.
