200

Just some stocks I like that are approaching 200sma.

Most use the exact number; however, I use 97%(200sma).

Get out if the stock closes below 97%(200sma)

sheep

If I were to be a sheep, I would love to be that sheep.

I feel like such a sheep for buying into gold

Nothing wrong with TA at the time.

The problem was being a slow sheep, too slow to sell and getting slaughter.

DON"T BE A SHEEP!

wrong

Today, I made the wrong choice.

I went fishing, but caught the wrong fish.

Even my attempt to chase did not pan out.

Do you see why I place my order at 32.64? I have been told not to be too exact, but leave a few pennies for errors. It would have worked in this case.

Market Snapshot: An Early Look at 2010

watching

I am not dead yet, but very close. Dam flu is kicking my arse.

Not many new long trades for me and still watching 2x inverse ETF for a sign.

dare

I am watching the volume and OBV.

Also, at this point, how much risk is there?

Attention

Do I have your attention yet?

omg

This portrays my emotion after I got stopped out of ILMN.

Do you see the 39.01? I figured that if it breaks it would fall.
My stop was at 38.90 to give a little cushion, but obviously not enough.
Chart also shows you a stock when overbought can become more overbought.

Just1

If EXC can close above 49.05, then you want a piece of that.

I don't know if this will be a pull back or a correction.

However, I am still going to ride the wave up until I see inverse ETF on my screens.

Remember, it's not a stock market, but a market of stocks.

taxes

Standard Deductions
Married Filing Joint: $11,400

Personal Exemptions
Per taxpayer and dependent: $3,650
Additional Amount if age 65 or older: $1,100 (for married filing joint)

Filing Requirement Thresholds
You are required to file a tax return if your income exceeds the combined total of your standard deduction and personal exemption. Here's the 2009 filing requirement thresholds:

Married Filing Joint: $18,700 ($19,800 if one spouse age 65 and over; $20,900 if both spouses age 65 and over)

In 2010, there is no income limitation on Roth conversion. I know some of you are thinking isn't tax free better than tax deferred? In general, yes; however, just because taxes were deferred does not mean it has to be paid.

Furthermore, when doing a Roth conversion, you need to think about how much taxes you saved at first by contribution to tax deferred account and how much taxes you will being paying in the conversion.

Here's my experience. I started saving your 401k very early on. During this time, my contributions were only saving me 10-15% on taxes because that was the tax bracket I was in and my income was not high.

When the Roth conversion was first made available in 2000, I did the conversion. A little research showed that if you have at least 15 years until retirement then it is a win. Little did I realize that I would be paying 2x the amount in taxes from what I had saved.

Keep in mind for MFJ (under 65) the first 18,700 is not taxable. If this were drawn from tax deferred account, then you never paid in taxes on it.

Conclusion, don't jump to conclusion and keep a balance of tax deferred and tax free investment. Careful planning is required.

target

One thing that I have not been doing very well is to identify targets.

It's not the stop loss target that I am struggling with; it's the profit target.

To prevent myself from premature profit taking, I will enter 5% trailing stop loss for every trades. Once 5% profit has been achieved, I will change to 3% trailing stop loss. I will do this for one of my account (FC).

Would you buy this stock?

similarities

Do you see any similarities?






Disclosure: I have positions in all the above stocks.

excited

What excites you?






There is no wrong answer because it all depends on your objectives.

Some times I get too excited and forget my objectives.

go

The new decade is a go and I wanted to give you something to smile at.

I wanted to give you multiple smiles and multiple time frames.

Notice they are both holding on to something and one almost lost it.




First, GS never showed on the screen on Dec 30, 2009 because

OBV has been increasing over the last 3 days

was FALSE.

Modifying C gt O 4-8-21 simple to

OBV has been increasing over the last 2 days

will results to TRUE and GS shows.

However, it did show up on 2 screens for Dec 31, 2009

4ema cross above 21ema and Above Wave e21

Notice the high on Dec 31, matches ma50 exactly!

If you want to play this, I would try to buy between close and high.

Closing in the blue box would have me concern.

Closing below the blue box would have me waving goodbye.

Happy New Decade

I don't want to wish you just a Happy New Year because that's too short.

Instead,

!!!!!!!!!! HAPPY NEW DECADE !!!!!!!!!!

May the new decade brings you

new knowledge, new wisdom, and great new fortune.
