IFMX Well, good old IFMX does it again! Up 3/4 or 8% today following a pounding yesterday with reached about 400% increase in trading volume. Not all of it was downward and out! Hence, we see another demonstration of the "paradoxical event." I first read about that in George Angell's book, "Inside the Day-Trading Game." George has a reputation as a S&P Futures trader who has worked the floor. The gist of what George was saying was that "the market was "engineered" from within; specifically, that the real powers of the market created selling in a typical market campaign in order to purchase for their own accounts at favorable prices. In short, the extremes take place everyday! The market is raised or lowered (depending on the stock) in order to create a selling or buying opportunity for the knowledgeable insiders.
That is a best reason to use and follow technical indicators because pure logic and human emotions will fog your mind and cause you to miss the opportunities or make a big mistake. That is why I have found more peace of mind using the WINs approach.
Yesterday, when I was considering to cover my IFMX Feb. contracts my emotions said, "are you crazy, IFMX is dumping hard and heavy, it may go down to $5 at this rate! Maybe, I should wait?" No, then my logic and experience kicked in and took control! Don't deviate from the WINs rules! Cover now and wait!
IFMX is about to announce earnings. No warning has been issued. A rebound off this solid lower BB tag on the daily chart patter is accurate. Use the BB, OBV, and RSI.
DIS clearly a textbook technical pullback helped by the boost by the AOL/Time-Warner hype and rumors. The chart indicated a overhead resistance point of $35 I thought. Well, I was off by $1.00 to $36 briefly. I don't have a crystal ball for that merger news.
Today, DIS plunges -2 9/16 or 7.1% on profit taking. I few more days holding those LEAPs I sold and I would have made another $800. What can I say! The goal is to ALWAYS make some kind of profit! No one loses money making a profit I always say. :-)
ROST What a hammered down stock! Another paradoxical event. The company is making money, increasing sales, and what does it do! Goes lower! Figure that out! Well, ROST is so cheap it can't go much further down. With a 14%+ growth rate and a P/E of 8, ROST is one heck of a bargain at the current price levels. check out the AUGs 15s @ 2 or less! Any ROST rebound has a clear shot at $17 before the resistance kicks in! |
