I was looking back through some past history here, and came across the UHV Wkly lists. The last one I see is from January 30th. And in that one, there were a fair ammount of picks that turned out rather nicely over the following weeks.
So, I was wondering, can we expect to see another UHV Wkly topic posted by JimSC and Will anytime soon? I think those posts were very good and helpful to point out potential stocks to look into.
Anybody know what happened to this extremely helpful feature?

Other than picks, I don't know how informative, and how much educational value it had.
Why did we stop? It was just time. When AXIG was going South and struggling hitting .001 / .0012, after being alerted at .005 or so, there was some doubters and criticism. Sometimes these stcoks behave differently than expected, but eventually they go. You can see the same pattern with ARGC now. Come to think about it, that guy who tagged on to AXIG never came back to retract his criticism or express any kind of thanks. It isn't easy to go out there and expose yourself with picks on a DAILY basis. I followed those picks, since we started in late December, through most of January. I'm proud to say, there were very few anyone could have gotten hurt on. Some were fantastic, beyond my expectation, gainers of 500% to 1000%, (AXGI if caught at the alert price of .005 and held to .095, one could have realized 1900%), others only gained 100% to 300%, some didn't do much at all, under 100%, but very very few tanked, if any. Grant it if you look at them now, many have probably went to hell, but these are pennies, designed for in/out, and I think there was opportunity for anyone who got in to get out with profit, or minor losses. I still "work" my system, but I am hesitant to recommend picks to anyone. Sometimes they're slow to move, and people get greedy, and it is always easier to blame someone else for impatients and/or not playing a stock improperly. Case in point, this stock FMLY. Friday everyone was going crazy thinking it was "the day". Review the thread, I said "the terrible 2's", "the old 2 rule", most probably thought I was crazy, or jynxing it, (LOL), some might even gotten pissed off for me saying it. They did cap the run at .0197, fact. It's easy to get caught up in the hype. I guess I'm just rambling here, but I would like to see others consitantly pick stocks on a DAILY basis, and have a decent track record. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- posted March 04, 2006 15:19

Unfortunately true. Also true, every great trader I've read has made some bad picks, thats what trailing stop losses are for! You can't always predict the market, you can expect a PR if you are told to, but you dont always know what its going to say.
TRAIL YOUR STOP LOSS appropriately, allow trusted stocks a little more leeway than others so you dont get stopped out of a winner.
GLTA, and 5 starts for Jim.

I sure do like the UHV. I've found some good ones on my own with the system, but Will and Jim are the masters at it. Thanks guys.

Hi, 10of13 and Highway, thanks for your kind comments. As you have seen, Will and I have been continuing to post stock-picks. We feel this is a better way to contribute to this forum. We found out that most stocks need 4 months from it's 52-week low to grow to it's potential. So, instead of a dozen a week, we concentraate only a few a week and post them at a bette time frame. It works better this way. I have personally profitted from UHV, which is Will's origial idea, and would like to share my experience with other members in a few posts during the next few weeks. Your posts in this thread will be highly apprecited.
All I know about Will's UHV is that it stands for Unusually High Volume. Do you think Will might be able to come by this thread and explain a little more about the method, and what all its comprised of besides volume?
I'm looking forward to hearing/reading your posts in here over the next few weeks. And I'm definately appreciating all your posts on the other threads (PMED, IGAI, AWBV, RSHN, AMEP, etc) in the meantime. Keep up the great work!

Reposted (this is from the PMED thread) ***** Hi, Rbreb13. If you get patience, it's possible that you will retire early. Let's play it on paper: 1. Put 1000.00 each in every one of the following 5 stocks at the open tomorrow: PMED, IGAI, FMLY, XKEM, SNWP 2. Let them sit there for 4 months, taking profits only when they jump 3 times or more at the top of a major run. So your money will grow 3 times every 4 months. 3. We will reinvest as soon as a stock has hit the goal, or at the end of 4 months. So, ideally, your initial investment of 5,000 tomorrow will become 15,000 on August 7th, 2006; it will become 45,000 on December 7th, 200th; and 135,000 on April 7th, 2007. 4. So the power of multiplication comes into play -- each year your capital get to multiply by 27 and your initial capital of 5000 will become 27 X 27 X 5,000 = 3,695,000 on April 7th, 2008. IF this is not enough for you, do it one more year, and you will have more than 80 million in your account! This post intends to show that patience is the key to win the game. Give each stock 4 months to grow and yourself 2 years to get rich. I will follow up these five stocks, and post the progress every 3 weeks.

Hi, BuyTex. Yes, to make it simple, we assume it will reach our goal at some point. If it swings down, we just wait for it to come back up until it hit our target or when the time freame is up. Keep in mind all these stocks have been pulled down by a factor of 25 to 50, and their pps are all at 0.01XX. I will post their status for today's open later tonight. To make this an interesting game, I invite every one of you to select 5 of your own, and play on paper, then check them every 3 weeks. It will be very good experience. By reading 10 charts every 3 weeks, you will learn many of MMs' tricks soon. Enjoy your trading.

What are your thoughts on FMLY, IVGA, and SMMW in the context of UHV... anything going on there?

You cannot make the model fit the stock, the stock has to meet the model, if that makes sense to you. UHV is not a system that takes only volume into consideration, there are other factors that enter into the model before it is a candidate, and even then there may be some details that disqualify it for seriuos consideration.

stock game is cool... tried to launch one myself, once upon a time.
But you have to understand, Jim, some peeps look to your picks, so if you get in the realm of risk/capital management, you could get newbs in serious deep water with "theories."
lol, let the games begin...

OK..I am going to admit something...a "friend' pointed IGAI out to me a few days before it ran in February(yes, she brought it to my attention....but you guys "convinced" me to stay)...I got in..and made some $...well...about 5-10 days later...you guys started posting that it wasn't over...that it had just begun....I took my nice profits out..bought back in...and have been in it since then...you and others thought it would run the first of March..it didn't...
Here is what I am/have done with some of "your" picks...I keep flipping them...example: I started IGAI with $570...30000 shares...since the 17th of February...I am now averaged in at .0138 with 478782 shares...been flipping it and rebuying with 1/2 the profits and using the other half to play other stocks...some I loose...some I gain...but I figure that by the time all is said and done with IGAI alone...I will have made at least $30-40,000.00 because of IGAI..if it goes...if not i will have made at least 10k...only because of the flipping and buying of other stocks...not bad for a 6-8 week wait...
So Tex...the "retrace"...I am not going to just sit..I'm flippin'...takin' some cash and buyin' more...will this work with each and everyone of your pics...*shrugs*...who knows...if it works with 1 out of 4...I'd be happy...
There's something to this UHV...and yeah...it's all a game...I don't have the "patience" to just sit and watch the ticker for weeks and months...but I have the patience to watch the ticker and flip it...it's all a wait...
So if someone newer than I is reading this...don't just think that you'll buy a stock tomorrow and you'll be rich by next week...if you're lucky...you'll have some extra cash in a few months...
Thanks guys for sharing this stuff with us...I'd be happy if you could give me the formula to your UHV

imho? Will's UHV model is tremendously functional...you may remember the day we (Will and I) were discussing techniques and called the PMED bounce from the 30s...
If not? not important...
However, gotta question *anybody* saying let "let it ride" for 3-4 months in pennies...
Why, it jus wuldnt be prudent...lol

Guys--there are many different reasons for UHV(Unusual high volume). I watch it everyday with microcap. Anyone can pick these stocks out with microcap and their trading alerts. A few recent examples. On Thursday I was alerted to JOES on microcap at .03--Looked like all buys going thru, so I bought (only $500 worth --due to the high risk) at .03 --Fifteen minutes later I sold half my shares on the ask at .10--it started to fall and I sold the other half at .06.A quick $750 profit in 20 minutes--thanks to microcap. Now if the stock failed to move right away, I would hold for a day or two and watch for a move. If it didn't move I would sell for a break even or small loss. Caught NVAO on microcap--(high volume) at $2 less than 2 weeks ago. Still holding all my shares now at over $7. A few weeks ago I got a high volume alert on MLXO--bought some just in case--it didn't move right away but over a week I saw it was being accumulateed --in less than 2 weeks after I bought I sold for a 4 bagger. I have literally done this hundreds of times in last 2 years using microcap, there are many that don't move, but most do--some take a few weeks. But the risk/reward ratio is very good, becuase I either sell for small or no loss after my buy or sell for anywhere from a 25% to 1000%+ gains. Anyways--UHV can come from many sources--a group or person frontloading before they release their play, a news leak, insiders or friends of insiders buying on information that may not be public yet(illegal-yes, but it happens all the time), or dilution. Any one of theese reasons except dilution can make nice gains for you if you buy when you see these volume alerts on microcap or any other programs that offer similar features after doing some dd--unless its running fast--than I buy and sell (without being too greedy.I have used this to make big profits off many stocks(usxp ,Xkem, Aurc are other recent examples)I usually do not post here on many of these plays --because i am concentrating so hard on the stocks i am holding, buying, selling, and dd'ing, that honestly I don't have time. every second counts in daytrading. Just one guys opinions who daytrades, swing trades, invests, and so on, and actually makes pretty good money doing it. But my best method of making money is picking up these volume alerts and buying in and waiting and watching as the stocks move.

Good point Mr. Money and thanks... The thing that I would suggest...as with any of them...is make sure we all do OUR OWN DD...the deal with the KSWJ just this past week...I jumped in for several reasons...one being HV...but I didn't do my DD FIRST! I really didn't find any "for sure bad info"...just questionable...They haulted the trading... Too many of these micro's are being diluted...or there is "inside" info...that might be bad, so people are selling...and it can set off the UHV...trigger...
You have a system that works for you...and that is the key to allot of this...everyone figuring out their own system...method...

Very interesting thread. I appreciate the time and effort that Jim and Will and others that put time and effort into the board here to help give folks the "heads up" on stocks that need to be dd'ed. BUT if your a new trader or dont have the time to review the stocks listed here I would suggest that you DONT buy. That applies to me too. lol. If you cant spend the time to review the stock that you are going to put your hard earned money into then dont. If you can only find the time to review one stock or two then do it. Record your findings in a log, play it on paper and see if what you do is working. You lose no money, and you learn. When you are comfortable with what you think is a good system then put it to work in small increments (lose no more than you can afford.) Hopefully you will make a few bucks and be proud of what you have accomplished. Thanks again to all that provide insight to stocks here. Have a great day, TMAN...

Nobody said or implied that you shouldn't DD something before you buy into it, its simply a heads up from someone who has been there, done that, and observed a good thing in progress.
Even though I may not see as much or know as much as someone else, you better believe I always look at what info I can find on something to see what I might expect in the future and why they might be looking at something. Going in blind teaches a man nothing.

Agent, I wasnt implying that anyone said that, sorry if it came across that way. I was just throwing out some personnel ideas for new traders. When I started I really didnt know what I was doing (sometimes I still think that, lol) I just went off the hot tip etc and didnt do well. I just hope everyone that decides to play the market use all the tools that are available and hopefully make the right choice. Have a great day, TMAN...
