Sam, I signed up w/ Stockcharts and just review the stocks they scanned. I usually only look at candlestick patterns and three other indicators on my charts. Don't go by me, I have lost two or three out of the last 5 stocks I went after. One was a long hold but a comfortable one. There are a ton more knowledgable people here than I. Pretty much listen to what they tell you. AJ good luck, make sure you don't get greedy, settle for 3 and put a trailing stop in. And as big will tell you get out before it goes to far the other way.

yeah I feel ya. I'm mad that I had no money back in the market around march/april. I wanted to buy Barclays at the 3-3.30 range now 22-23...same with URE & DXO even a month ago when they were both at 3 now at 5.25 & 5. Had BAC at 6.50 now almost 17 and I had flipped DRYS around that 4-7 mark and PLD when it was around 6-8. Totally missed SIRI at .04-.05 too....man oh man. Well back to the grindddddd. I was using sharebuilder for awhile but now I'm wondering broker to use, what are you guys using right now....trying to just find a site thats cheap obviously and will let you deal with pennies as well....gotta do a few lotto picks

We use ameritrade. 5 bucks a trade, don't let them tell you it's 10, argue the point that you know other people with 5 dollar trades.I hate the three day wait for funds to clear from a previous trade but I'm pleased overall with the customer service and the ease of use.

AJ, I use Zecco. Less than $5 trades and 10 free monthly if you make so many trades. They allow pennies also. I have not had a problem with funds clearing either. I can sell and in less than an hour I can use the funds, sometimes its only 10 minutes.
-------------------- Only ONE good stock away from retirement!

Funds have cleared, looks like I'm going to try Boo's SKH pic. Looks like it may have bottomed out. Although some bad press on a class action suit has me worried.

Got in SKH at an average $6.62 Had a blew past a trailing stop the other way, cancelled the stop and put a straight order to sell at $6.85 or somewhere near there. Ended up hitting the sell and out with 3%. Haven't looked yet to see what it closed at but I know it went into the 7's after the sell went thru.

Good move Sam. To much on my mind and I totally forgot this morning to get in. Glad I didn't, the only thing I didn't like about AGEN's chart was it never had many consecutive up days. Everything else looked good on it though but CECE was the gainer with over 3% today but way to little volume for me. Bailed on FNM today for a loss of $100.00. Of to Maine for the next week so I'm out till I return. Good luck!!!

looks interesting JG. Couldn't hold above the 20dma but broke the 50RSI. The divergence lines look to cross on the adx. float just under 50m and trying like hell to get a full 30 days above the $1 mark. I'll put it on radar also, watching how the market acts after finally breaking 9500 dow may influence this a bit also so we'll see. Nice one JG.

VONAGE HOLDINGS CORP(NYSE: VG) After Hours: 0.49 0.03 (6.52%) 7:33PM EThelp Last Trade: 0.46 Trade Time: Aug 21 Change: 0.02 (4.55%) Prev Close: 0.44 Open: 0.47 Bid: N/A Ask: N/A 1y Target Est: 0.50 Day's Range: 0.44 - 0.47 52wk Range: 0.31 - 1.55 Volume: 1,671,517 Avg Vol (3m): 1,053,040 Market Cap: 72.22M P/E (ttm): N/A EPS (ttm): -0.25 Div & Yield I didn't think it would take off straight away that's why i put it in the 3% area, still outperformed and I think there is still room for growth. However, it did leave a small gap behind at .41-.43. I like to watch to see when gaps will fill as they usually do. The question is when. Money flow took a bit of a dip so watching a little closer.

Couldn't get in XRM without a broker assisted trade after several attempts so to me that was a bad omen, I gave up on it. Jumped into C for 1500 shares at $4.90. Up a few hunderd on the other shares of that I was sitting on.

still playing with the fins and some somewhat quiet longs. flipped out of EEE picked up some CHB on the dip and watching a bunch. I like playing by the charts so whatever might be looking good on my crystall ball. i still work full time so having to babysit keeps me out of a lot.
