MHGC the stand out from scan! Did exceptionally well and nailed it on the break out. $15 needed to break and hold, the next test intraday was $15.50 where I expected an immediately squeeze towards $15.75 area. Well we got a lot more than that hitting $16.38! Although extremely strong into close and probably gap on Monday nothing is better than going into the weekend all cash, so that’s exactly what I did. You can see all comments HERE during the trading day regarding the buy/squeeze points and breakout.

MHGC this is probably a good buy on the $15 break - triple top and break will make it squeeze towards $16 probably good for a quick dollar or two.

I missed the short here! I was preoccupied watching MHGC saw NOBL attempt to test $6 off the gap and should have taken my own advice it on a gap of .30-.40. Woops! It bottomed out for a bit, figured the risk/reward wasn’t there incase it reversed directions and headed higher but was wrong, missed opportunity, isn’t the first and won’t be the last! Hope you all did well though. I know Tim nailed it on the long side and took profits with plenty of time to spare. Key areas are around the $4.90 leve, you’ve seen how fast this can move, personally I’d like to see it squeeze higher for a second shorting opportunity but we’ll see what Monday brings.

NOBL crazy squeeze out of open today you know shorts were caught with their pants down and again a nice move into close. After bottoming out a few times just under $5 and breaking back over $5 and squeezing into close we’ll probably see a gap and potential continuation tomorrow. Max upside here in the next few days I’d say is around $7 (looking back to mid may), I’m looking for it to test $6 either on the gap or out of open and then watching for weakness to kick in. If it gaps up more than .30-.40 its imparative to watch it because of the gap/squeeze and tank potential that we saw today VRNM mentioned above.

Recap: (VRNM) 50 Cent Pop Out of Open, Weakness at $3.75-$3.80 August 7th, 2008

After posting thoughts/trades in real time I recapped the post HERE.

As far as further trades, the big move is done, I wouldn’t be surprised to see it attempt a bounce off the $2.50 level back towards $3 but I anticipate a slow fade over the next few weeks after whats left of the momentum dies out

SGEN worthy breakout, this is in play next week in my opinion I’d like to see a squeeze towrads $13.50, but we’ll see what Monday brings us.

SGEN border line breakout here over $12 - From scan HERE

SGEN on a $11 break may see $12-13+ here short term, I’m not convinced yet it needs to break and hold $11

Recap: Airline Stocks HOT Again For Wednesday the 6th and MICG.OB

August 5th, 2008

HRP nice gradual continuation based at $7 from scan, and broke through $7.50 area, this will more than likely be the new low if the move continues north

HRP looks pretty bullish here if it breaks and holds the $7.50 level look for continuation, more of a longer term play than anything

PRTY just about testing $20, this again is very gradual move so I’d be careful with the short - looks like $20 will be tested early next week which will be a double off the lows.. Although it may be a nice short over a few weeks again I’m only a trader and based on the consolidation around $18 the past four days and breaking off to head higher, this may just be basing for an even higher move, normally I like to short into a spike so I’m radaring for just that.. and until I see it I probably won’t short it. I do think this will be a gradual fad back down towards $16s and probably a worthy short but that’s like rolling the dice, and I’d rather not.

PTRY great squeezer nearly 100% gains in the past 2 weeks looking for it to test $20 before I think about the short (unless weakness keeps in before)

Recap:Hot Stock Scan for Tuesday August 5th August 4th, 2008

MOT filled the gap to $9’s. Off radar now unless it begins to squeeze, it might be a worthy short if it fails to break $10, Provided a nice short on the failure to squeeze over $10.

MOT lots of gaps the past few days sitting at some resistance dating back a few months, would like to see this squeeze out of open and provide a shorting opportunity to fill the gap back down towards $9 - unless their new CEO has all the answers and they are going to become a huge contender again I’ll take my chances

OFI pigs get slaughtered! after a breakout happens I usually tend to abide by the rules of selling into the squeeze, if you do it takes away the risk of holding, the risk/reward isn’t in your favor if you don’t take the initial breakout move. In this case there was a 52 week high break around $8 dollars and change and it squeezed $2 in 3 days.

OFI Three days now its been testing $10, if it can break it it will squeeze towards $10.50, risk/reward not worth it anymore in my opinion, the breakout provided $2 of upside already…

From scan HERE.

OFI absolute beautiful breaout chart, this should test $10, if today’s gains hold I’d be looking for a long position for that move up - this could be an extreme squeezer of the momentum continues

ABMD $20.07 is breakout (52 week high) its jumped up quite a bit the last few days I’d watch for consolidation around the mid 19s if it doesn’t squeeze over $20 an break it right out of the open. If it does it’all probably be a nice squeeze and just that. I wouldn’t marry it but has upside towards $22 potential and if it can consolidate above $20 it could move much higher than that. What I’m looking at is the triple top mid June, mid July and just today at/near $20, so the break will send shorts covering similar to what we saw on WMT yesterday when it broke the quad top.

SGEN border line breakout here over $12 - From scan HERE

SGEN on a $11 break may see $12-13+ here short term, I’m not convinced yet it needs to break and hold $11

GERN - looks pretty bullish here, it’s consolidated quite a bit around the $4.50 level which can support a move higher, theres been a lot of $3 to $6-7 plays as of late thats why this one interest me, $5 is its previous resistance point back in May, may squeeze on the break.

VRNM today’s Nasdaq percentage gainer, watching for a gap and continuation then I’m looking for weakness to kick in, I’ll see if there’s a borrow and reserve it just in case. It had a few upgrades so it might have a bit of support in there.. if thats the case let it squeeze, keep a borrow avail and wait for the opportunity, I’ll be monitoring this one and will post a comment with thoughts tomorrow once it begins to pan out

GSPG from scan earlier today HERE, quite a picture perfect chart here, full of a technical traders dream come true regarding support areas, higher highs, higher lows, consolidation patterns, you name it - its there. I’m not looking for a huge 50% move here in the next day or two because that’s just not the way it trades but I do anticipate an accelerated move over a nickel once it snaps.

MICG from scan last night gave us 15% out of the open on the move, watching for further consolidate and re buy on a .60 break

MICG -MICG.OB a blast from the past this had ran from these levels to $5 on its first move - anythings possible worth putting it on radar

USS great short today! It didn’t break $5, showed weakness and continued to fall over 20% from its peak! It never turned back to test $5 again and fell throughout most of the afternoon. Congrats! This is from last nights scan HERE.

USS I’d like to see a second test on $5 as it very well may break it, if it does I’m watching for a .50 to $1.00 spike to short into, if it doesn’t break $5 and shows weakness i will probably join the sellers and cover only if it test/breaks $5 again

MNKD setting up a beautiful chart here, keep on breakout watch, from scan HERE.

MNKD starting to turn up a bit, this one has fell from grace. This is a buy if it breaks back over $3 and holds it, and I’d add on a $3.25 break. It’s failed to break it the past two attempts ($3.25) but take a look at the 6 month chart below this one… you’ll see the move that it “could” have if it reverses

HW - Watch for the $13 break out of open, this is not an immediate short as there is still upside potential. I’d like to see a gap and squeeze towards mid $13s-$13.75, and once it shows weakness probably short it back towards $13s.

SCON - Setting up similar to (USS) from scan HERE, I’d watch for the $2.50 break as this could squeeze towards $3 easily - I’m watching for a spike in volume with little price movement to signal a top

Bullish Charts

SGEN on a $11 break may see $12-13+ here short term, I’m not convinced yet it needs to break and hold $11

GVHR another bullish chart double topped if you look back to late June you’ll see it peaked out at nearly the same place. I’d like to see this test $8+ quickly for a short, but if it does a gradual move it’s not an attractive short but probably a better long on dips.

RTK - it may be a one day wonder like HDY was today, but if this can consolidate and hold $2 this may be attractive for a squeeze over previous highs

SKNY had 16% gains yesterday, 6% gains today I’m a seller on the gap tomorrow if it doesn’t carry some momentum into market open. Scan HERE.

AKRX squeezing higher, over $5 now from scan HERE.

So… I was off by a PENNY on my low end cover range for where I expected MKTY to fall to in last nights scan listed below, or HERE. I’ll work on more accurate cover ranges for the future, I hope to narrow it down to within a fraction of a penny!

MKTY watching for a gap and crap, this is probably a pretty decent short tomorrow, but lets see how it trades out of open. Tim had a decent trade on it (from his alerts) but later in the day, it turned up towards high and closed relatively strong. This gives us another day for a possible squeeze and a higher short average. I’d let it squeeze out of open, failure to break $6 and confirmation of a breakdown I’d jump on board on the short side - back towards $3.75-4

Last nights stocks are still in play for tomorrow - commentary stands.

AKRX - earnings are coming so this is a play into that, could move hard in either direction but looks pretty bullish .. Without doing too much due diligence since I never really do… it looks like earnings are the last day of July - so I’d expected this to be volatilie until then, it may squeeze towards $5 and present a good shorting opportunity to those who panic before they are released.

EPAX - another earnings play, my take is its just a low float squeezer, watch for a gap and tank… i doubt it heads much higher than $20

SGEN looks bullish towards $12 at which point I’d watch for weakness

EZCH took out the $18 resistance this has the possiblity of heading towards $20

EZCH - On scan before - hasn’t been able to break $18 for the past 4 attempts, I will be monitoring this stock to see if it tops there, notice how fast its covered $14 to $17.50+ vs. the previous attempts where it slowly made its way there. This is what happens when a few too many shorts think its heading the opposite way and then get caught… and with that they can help it break previous resistance..

Keep on radar the Airline Stocks we posted HERE. Many squeeze back mid day into the close leaving another day of opportunity for tomorrow similar to MKTY, watch for the morning gap and squeeze and sell off into close.
