I don't really know what to say about trading NLS. It may behave differently on the NYSE. It was easiest to trade when it was listed in Toronto and was less volatile. Now that it has has become a favorite of short-sellers it jumps all over the place. Look what happened in the last hour today, it lost 7% after trading in positive territory all day. This article from thestreet.com may have started it: Tuesday May 21, 2:11 pm Eastern Time Nautilus CFO Isn't All He Claims in SEC Filings By Herb Greenberg Senior Columnist When Bowflex maker Direct Focus jumped to the New York Stock Exchange Tuesday from Nasdaq, it also changed its name to the Nautilus Group (NLS - News). Could it be that Nautilus, whose business model has long made it the focus of short-sellers, is trying to give itself a new image? Perhaps, but beyond the image it's the same company with the same issues and the same management. biz.yahoo.com I don't subscribe to thestreet.com so I can't see the rest of the article. I don't like the people who write there. IMO they're more like market manipulators than journalists. I think the chart illustrates the trading opportunities that have occurred in the past 2 years: stockcharts.com[w,a]daolyyay[de][pb50!b200][vc60][iUb14!La12,26,9]&pref=G Almost every dip has been followed by a higher high. It's certainly easier to trade a stock that's in a long term up trend. Incidentally, I'm not a TA type or chartist, I just look at the big picture. There's a Subject here on SI called "A.I.M Users Group Bulletin Board" that describes a system for deciding when to sell part of a holding and when to buy more. NLS may be a candidate for the A.I.M. system. I don't use it myself, but I can see that it would work. Subject 12596
