In case you haven't noticed, the MACD for posts/day on the "56" thread is off the chart. This thread is created for posts dealing with the trading of stocks featured on the "56" thread.

There are some points of advice required here...I'm sure many of you have noticed that there are tendencies of some stocks with an attitude to (a) just take off. There are others that (b) creep up consistently. Then there are those that (c) just bide their time and eventually break out. Some do nothing. Some (inexplicably...?) go down but the strength of the TA holds them up for a while anyway. Each person should have a good grasp of their tolerance of risk.

For category (a), I advise to either get in RIGHT AWAY or leave them alone. If you are already familiar with the company, base your decision on what you already know. Don't chase them if your risk tolerance is low.

For categories (b) and (c), there should be ample time for you to do your own homework. For category (c) I will try my best to identify the breakout in a timely manner.

Discussion of any stock on this thread should begin with a header of the stock's symbol. All are encouraged to post their opinions and feelings about when it is time to buy or sell any "56" stock or anything else that comes to mind. Talk about your cat if you want, but make sure you do it here instead of on the "56" thread please.

I will not take requests on this thread. All requests should be submitted to the "56" thread. All TA will be on the "56" thread.

I think this is going to be profitable and alot of fun. As Instock would (and hopefully will) say here, "Ding, ding, ding...and they're off"!!
