Jeff, I believe NSCP issued a MACD buy signal on 6/16 that would have been the ideal time to buy. I also have traded NSCP with luck at the end of April. My strategy at this point is not to chase it but wait for it to reach it's peak and buy some cheap puts. It's usually cheaper if your wrong. Anyway that's how I play stocks I miss. There always another game to jump into. However, I might add....the uptrend at this point looks very strong, you should be able to gets some points if they don't run it up too much in pre-trading and your adgile. Jeff

Jeff.. you already got a good answer but to be perfectly honest, we saw it moving at 9:45, my husband doesn't even have charts or anything just the quotes. When I saw what happened with ELNK, and had the report from the internet web site about NSCP I was fully "prepped" since it was on watch list. I suspected a move in the internet sector just like the move with XCIT where I could have gotten the options but I didn't move quickly enough. Not every buy is scientific and based on 'tick,tick,tick'. sometimes you pull the trigger just to get on board. I think he missed about 2 points this morning but he actually called in from the other room and I told him just get it at market and he did. We've been waiting for this 'baby' and really expected it to break any day.

>>My question: At what point today do you decide to jump in?<<> I hesitate to post this, because Jenna will probably tell me to move over to the jokes thread, but it's all true. I bought into NSCP yesterday when it seemed to have filled an opening gap. Left home before market close and found myself with a 1/2 point loss. Today I tried to place a trade thru ABWatley on another stock at the offered, saw a bunch of trades go thru below my price and decided that ABWatley must be asleep or somebody's server was down, so I cancelled. Hmm. Let's see if ABWatley can handle an easy one - what about NSCP? If that trade doesn't go thru, then I'll know they're asleep. Got filled at 32 1/4 within seconds. No technical analysis, just a test. Still hold both trades. I also lost money today on a well thought out, well reasoned trade. Go figure.
