Re: Vulcan's who trade for fun

Hey websman, watching any tech stocks on the nyse? Wouldnt mind a little help on this sector in the states. I wish I could afford to invest in Google(GOOG). Unfortunately its got a high buy in prices and Im sure the trend will not continue, I should of bought in at $85, if only I had gathered interest in dabbling in the sharemarket earlier this year!

Hi Danial

Do you trade any of the US exchanges? If so, how do you feel about currency changes between AUS and US dollar. Do you think its risky, with loss of profits due to AUS dollar strength against the US? Im very curious about trading in the US exchange.

Not many of my picks are NYSE stocks. The small caps on the Nasdaq and American Exchange do much better for me. On occasion I'll find a good NYSE stock, but there's not really enough volatilty to make it very profitable.

As far as GOOG, I agree it would have been a good buy at $85, but it's way too pricy at this point.
 
Re: Vulcan's who trade for fun

hey karmatik , Im really new to all of it. I plan to trade the international markets later once im competent with the australian market and the sharemarket in general. At the moment I do have to say the risk of the aud/usd falling is a bit of a concern to me. Obviously its a two way street. Once I learn the basics of trading stocks I'll look into currencies a little more.

1.00 AUD Australian Dollar = 0.746491 USD US Dollar

I don't see where the risk is that great.

I'll try to find you a few good picks this week.

Admin Note: I've moved the non-stock chit chat to the General Forum under 'Vulcans who Trade for Fun' so this thread can stay focused on US stocks. Much tidier this way.

So, I'm only supposed to discuss stocks in here and if I have anything else to say, I'm supposed to post it in the other thread that has been moved.

Therefore, if I want to mention a stock, yet I have an irrelevant comment, I must split my post between two threads.

Ahhh, now I think I get it. You, know I'm from the southeastern part of the U.S., which qualifies me to be a redneck. Rednecks tend to be simple minded and we get confused quite easy. Heck the other day, I was rotating the tires on my pickup truck and I forgot to put one of the tires back on. I didn't realize it until I started to back out of the driveway and the truck fell off of the jack... Uh, hang on a minute...I'm supposed to be posting this in the other thread, ain't I?

oops...sorry there Kid. I'll repost this over there... :banghead:

I'll move my stock posts over here...

That's it. It's PNO. I'm trying to find out everything I can about it. If what this company is claiming about their drug is true, it could be huge.

Hi Webs,
It's okay to mention a few things not directly related to the stock here; humour is always good but the reason I separated your earlier thread was because it was in the International Forum (which deals with overseas stocks, international indices/markets etc) and it had about a page or more of just non-trading stuff- I didn't split it up intially as I wanted to see if it would revert to stock discussion but it kept going off on a tangent (off-topic) so I had to split it. I can manually move your stock posts from the general Vulcan thread in the General forum to this International forum so you wont have to repost your stock posts from there- that's what I'm here for.

If you could keep the posts in this thread predominantly on stocks that'll be great. Feel free to discuss any general stuff about Australia, your interests, non-stock questions etc in the General forum (browse through that forum to see the types of topics that fit in there)- also check for existing threads if you want to start a thread on a specific issue as it may have been covered before already, you can just add to that existing thread, that way we don't end up with multiple threads on the same point as that's unnecessary duplication. but if you have a genuinely new thread then by all means start up a new thread with an appropriate title so people know what it's about when we browse or search through the forums.

Also I don't think you're simple minded or a red-neck from what I've seen of your posts but things do take a bit of getting used to initially with a different forum like ours (we like to think we are different!)- just check the posting guidelines and code of conduct from time to time to see how it's done here and browse through the forums to get a feel for what goes where and how we organise ourselves.

Any questions please ask, I prefer not to interfere/interject as moderator so it'll be good to get this sorted.

btw, we have another regular called MARKETWAVES from the US who posts lots of great Elliott Wave stuff, you can search for his posts by his name, he may have been feeling a bit lonely here on ASF not having many fellow US markets followers to chat with so maybe you guys can exchange views on US stocks here as well, send him a pm to say hello if you like.

All the best,
Rich
 
If y'all get a chance, check out CDV. It's on a roll. I may buy it, if I can catch a pullback.

I'm bearish on the U.S. market at this point. Sure it's made a good run lately, but after the pullback towards the close today, I think we may be done for now.
 
I'm looking at JOE as a possible short canidate, but I have to wait for a proper setup.

JOE is a local company that has been building a lot of nice housing developments. Business had been great for them this past year, but the real estate market is starting to dry up, plus interest rates are starting to go up. I'd hate to have a varibale rate mortgage. My home is paid for though...no worries. :bananasmi
 
Here's my positons

ELN - Bought at $6.89. Closing price today was $10.86. :dance:

EZEN dropped too far. I took a .10 loss at $2.40. :swear:

I'll place these limit orders for tomorrow. I guess that would be tonight for you Aussies. I gotta get used to this time change...

(All buy orders)

ARRS @ $10.02
MTEX @ $13.10
TRLG @ $14.65

I'm being conservative as I'm not confident that the market will continue to run.

yep.... he's a redneck all right.... now ME? I'm much more refined and schooled than Webs.... My pickup truck is a dually.... so I don't need to rotate the tires.

:arsch: hey webs!!!! hahaaaa...... Oh crap!!!.... stocks!... that's right.... uhhhhh Short sell VPHM..... yeah that's why I came over here.... Short VPHM.
 
Short sell VPHM....

Intraday rally in VPHM (currently up about 8%...18.95).... short the rally top @ around $19.00 when you see weakness.... good for 10% gain by tomorrow... IMO
