Heinz..I'll watch this upcoming correction closely, and agree with another up move after the correction...as for now..I'm lining up shorts, which include MVL, XMSR (at the top of the Fri/Mon? pop), CRDN, BLTI reload...and on and on...so many stocks are very overextended, even due for muli-month corrections...MVL is ripe methinks...Thanks for the input..always appreciated.

Cheers,

Bert

Re: ALTI I personally think it's a POS. It seems like about half of the SEC filings begin with S where they're selling more cheap shares. Mix that in with the newsletters one finds with a little searching that were paid x amount of shares for their glowing reviews and it's something I feel comfortable shorting, especially when the RSI goes into the 90's. 9 months ago I was sitting by the pool, sipping drinks, overlooking the Med. with other shortsellers wondering if we would even have a job in a year, such was the difficulty in finding good garbage. At that time it was a rare thing when a scan found some turd stock with some volume and an RSI above 80, I even lowered my scan to 75 to just find anything. Now i'm not even bothering until it gets in the 90's and i'm careful even then, because where something that overbought would typically just collapse on itself, in this market one has to get covered quick when it comes off because the pullbacks are getting bought and pushed right back up.
When you say you see stocks with volume for unknown reasons, I just smell scam. More often than not these companies have just moved some cheap shares to someone or some offshore entity, which own some offshore boiler rooms or pay for some fax blast etc., once this gets the stock moving the momo hot potato swarm arrives. Look at crap like TGLO, that has sold a zillion shares for 3 cents or whatever, that now owns a game magazine and some vague promise of internet telephony, or good old LNUX which ran with the other Linux stocks on Friday, despite the fact that they sold off all their Linux operation over a year ago. People are doing ZERO DD and just buying the momentum. We're a long way from a bottom with those kind of people still in the market.

BTW, where do you get the stat on stock market participation as a percentage of population, and is this direct ownership, or is it 401k's, mutual funds etc.?
