Do you watch Newmont too Webs or is it too slow/big? Below resistance levels atm but once it breaks out it'll be a tough one to stop imo. Waiting for gold to retrace a bit, can it go on like this for another month??!!!

Do you have a ticker symbol for Newmont?

I haven't bought any of these picks yet. At this point, I'm not sure I will.

I sold DTLK today. I had a small gain on it, but ended up selling for break even... :cautious: I looks weak though and I didn't want to take a loss on it.

Here's the rest of my positions and the price I paid for them.
SPIL @ 6.64

FUEL @ 3.93
EZM @ 2.10
AMKR @ 9.77
CFK @ 15.38
RADA @ 9.97
TGB @ 3.38

FUEL looks to be recovering...

I'll sell TGB if it drops more than 5% below my buy price.
I'll be watching TGB closely
 
websman, what is your criteria for picking stocks, I've had a look at all the ones you are holding and can't really find a common theme between them (technically). None of them seem to be trending upwards...which is what I tend to base things on...

It's all based on the VTP. After the intitial scan is ran, the vectors are ran through the VTP for their respective ranking. If the ranking is high enough, it is then considered for a buy. At that point, I use find a proper entry point based on the daily chart patterns.

No theme is needed...just a potential for profit.

sorry but I have no idea what VTP means, Vulcan Trading plan perhaps?

Vulcan Trading Platform... It's my own unique system that myself and a few others have used effectively. My track record this year has been exceptional. I hope it continues. :)
 
Cool is there a way I can find out more about this platform, I'm interested in trading some US stocks so this might be a good way to start!
 
Here's an update of my positions and the price I paid for them...

SPIL @ 6.64
FUEL @ 3.93
EZM @ 2.10
AMKR @ 9.77
CFK @ 15.38
TGB @ 3.38

I'm down on FUEL, but still holding.

I locked in profits on RADA.

I'll lock in profits on CFK if it continues to show weakness.

I'll be trying for an entry on NXG @ 3.86 tomorrow.
 
Well done websman, I'm keeping a close eye on what you do as I'm going to be trading in the US market very soon, keep the tips coming :)

That's one great run! Not over yet by the looks of it, some good research too in your original document Markets!! Well done. It's a shame I couldn't trade it off the ASX, glad you did well out of it.
 
Today I went long on IMOS at $7.90. My target price is $13.25.
 
AKAM looks absolutely AMAZING, I've never seen such a smooth run before, is this typical of US stocks or is AKAM just a steady riser with low volatility?

I'm not quite sure that it's typical, but it is a nice run. I may have to consider picking up a few shares myself.
 
Howdy Webs

Told you months ago about this one ...
What's great about this stock is its business model .

They have a propietery technology ....

Do you know what happens in business when you have a product that everybody wants and they cant get it anywhere else ?

Well , this is this AKAM ....Story .

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most people are picking stocks the wrong way because of logic and what the news puts infront of us .


Earnings, Future eannings and , voulme are among the worst things to look at when evaluating a stock .
- ( I expect to get a full blast argument over this statement by the way. )
------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Here are few things to look for ..........
to find stocks that may be going places .


these are the categhories

Category #1

- Learn to gauge competition within a marketplace or industry

Category #2
-Look for stocks that have been in debt for a long time and just paid off thier long term debt within the last 12-14 months . This is a true sighn of underlying Growth ....

Category #3
-Find stocks with Propietary technologioes and are the first to bring it to marketplace.

Category #4
- Try to find out what the Politiains are investing in .
They are rarely wrong .

Category #5
- Observe chart patterns , - especially Candlestick Formations ....
Learn all you can about Eastern Tecnicals .

Category #6
-Locate Sound Bases - within a stock chart and coordinate it with its Industry group chart .( look for both of these charts look alike . )
 
HERE WE GO AGAIN

Another Politician today gave out and awarded another contract to big business ..............

This happens all the time , while you sit there analyzing volume and reading earning reports ... What a hoax !

Think about this ,
if a when a politician gives out a lucrative contract and why shouldn't they. They want contributions to their campaigns right ?

Well , if the company awarded is a publically traded company, isn't the politician in a position to aquire shares for his porfolio ? -especially knowing what this contract that has been awarded will do for the company's bottom line ?

Just some Food for thought ........
