AVTM has sold after after earnings on rather light volume, and pulled back to the 50 day at 10, where I bot. Friday it put in a higher low, and all it needs now is some volume, which I think it will get once it puts in a higher high.

GEOC is very strong, and I am holding it also, as well as KNDL, WINS, USNC, TGRP, TSRI, IVISF AND AMES.
PAUH is looking much better, and has to be the cheapest retail play out there, even cheaper than AMES. Vol has been explosive lately in both stocks.

Dial Data at 35.00 a month via the internet....You can get information on market indexes at this price, which the 25.00 price will not supply, plus some fundamental data for the past 2 years...I have learned that I must follow the market indexes to be the best trader I can be...

Here are my top gizzards for next 3 months: Let's see how they do:
Will supply recent price and keep you updated:
1. PHTN at 2.87(tech)
2. KNSRF at 49 cents Canadian(Kensington Resources)---Diamonds
3. TKOCF at 2.50(gold stock)

If anyone on this thread could supply stocks that are experiencing a breakout on a daily basis that you like I would appreciate...
Pick stocks that have the highest high low price differential in the past 10 trading days....(Wish I could have nailed SIII)
For your stock, when I come home for lunch, I will do a quick analysis and supply the resistance areas, and other pertinent info, so we can increase our odds on it not being a false breakout....Thanks...

FOUR to watch today:
1. NSOL
2. TRDX
3. ASEC (tell me when we get close to 11.00)
4. FOSL

Mark

<<Now I have "Windows on Wall Street".
Which data service you recommended?>>

Dont use DTN. The feed is slow in the morning. forget morning gaps.
I ran DTN with satilite side by side with DBC with satilite and tried itwith cable feed too.
DTN gave me all the ticks but was worthless for the first 20 minutes in the morning.
My DBC with Signal software ( its ok software) was missing ticks during the day.
How did I compare them both? I checked them with traders in chat rooms..big chat rooms on mIRC...thats how I found I was missing ticks with DBC. After I took the trial with DTN I tested them both with PCFN type and click quotes. I had about a million built up in my quote bank and spent quite a bit of time with it. PCFN beat them both hands down. PCFN = DLJ BTW.
I sent back the Windows on Walstreet software after a couple of days. It didnt have a tick indicator and was very hard to read. The free Chameleon sofware was worthless too imo. It took several seconds to get a quote with the stupid point a click..find the exchange then type the stock. Then if you had the stock on another page or on the same page it wouldnt let you enter it again. If you were playing a quick news play it was worthless to use.
Neither I believe had a percentage indictor or a way to caculate your portfolio by bid and ask.
What do I use now?
Web based quotes are faster and more reliable than any other feed I know of.
I use Market Track 98 software for quotes and news. It is the same company that makes Track on Line and is great stuff. You have to customize it youself but the work is worth it.
You can set up all the windows you want ..time and sales windows(dont know how I traded w/o it)..level two windows..news by ticker or by symbol..charts daily or historical..etc.
Next move is to get a PCcard so I can use several monitors with one configuration.
Another advantage with webased is that you can take them anywhere with you and you dont get any missing data gaps.
