To: Jenna who wrote (116246 ) 11/8/2000 4:47:36 PM From: Jenna Respond to of 120523 PMCS puts were called (november 125 were called at 9:36) BEAS a short play 83 1/2 80 puts BUCWP at 4 3/8.. (9:50) MANU, CFLO a short finally (short watch list).. AMCC was upgraded to STRONG BUY today.. GOOD NEWS IS IGNORED (10:06) MANU, CFLO, PMCS, BEAS dropping like a rock. ORCL ----> still a POS (by 10:25) these were good for the rest of the session. What confused you was that special post that was geared to the subscribers who had a little more short plays on today's watch list, it was also newsworthy because it showed how a 'watch list' even your own should be looked at BEFOREHAND to determine support, resistance lines, news, (i.e. CSCO's downgrade, KLIC's downgrade, etc) so you can determine if 5 or 10 minute 'blips' in the intraday charts were indeed rallies.. Message 14756418 The later posts was at attempt to 'get across' the meaning of the last 1/2 hour breakdown of the tech sector At that particular time period, these plays were continued shorts from the morning, yesterday. TLGD was an attempt for a long play (call options) that could move in the morning. If JNPR hit a certain support level it would be a continuing short or a ANOTHER put play at a lower strike price. At the end everything tanked but MANU was covered and a small option call position taken in that as well as TLGD. Not easy when the market is moving quickly and you have to report more pretty timely. <<<... RBAK, MANU continued short play (incremental profit taking, leave a little on the short side or best is puts), CFLO continuing short, TLGD a play on the call side.. also JNPR going down another notch to the 190 puts if the nq's take out low, and maybe look at the 210 calls if there is a sign (not likely) of a JNPR rally.. you will get a good idea of the blimps in the first 10-15 minutes where it will be for the rest of the session.. You don't need more than the nq's, the 15 and 60 minute chart to check the trend once in a while.>>>
