Right from their tommorrow's article: If DJIA clears 10700, then we're in wave 3 of an ABC wave and we're likely to see 10800. If DJIA drops below 10650, we'd be in wave 1 of a new correctional 5 wave structure. But if it then rebounds into the green, the 5 wave structure is cancelled and we're in a neutral 7 wave shake-and-bake.

Anyone else think the auto-update feature of Disqus is stupid? A few seconds after I start reading a comment, it would suddenly disappear. If you know something more stupid, please let me know. Can't even find a way to turn it off.

End might be near. This is the first day for a long time stupid stocks DO lose stupidity, like SHOO. Some stocks actually sell off in such a surging market, like RKT, which was upgraded yesterday with a $60 target.

Interactive Brokers definitely trades from 7 AM. Very likely much earlier. I had orders filled around 6 AM.

Hey, Tim, I thought you banned beanie. Many people said the same thing. Otherwise how come he hasn't showed up here for so long? Except one recent post.

Why isn't the "I used to drive a brand-new Hyundai" beanie jumping up and down? Is he banned? Or is he caught short? Or is he frustrated that LDK isn't joining the party?

This may be why you haven't heard much from Beanie today.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trenton, New Jersey - Earlier today, police arrested a man accused of causing disturbances in an internet cafe. The man, in his late 30s, is only known as "Beanie". According to the owner, Beanie stays in the cafe every day from early morning to around mid-night. Many patrons have complained about his strong smell and said he never washed or shaved. However, what drove most patrons away is his constant talking to himself.

Nobody understands him. But people frequently hear such words as "LDK", "solar", or "TSL". He's very agitated during the day, often yelling and banging the table. In the evening, he's quieter and talks mostly about something called "gap-up". When he started showing up in the cafe about 3 months ago, he looked angry and cursed constantly. Lately, he seems much happier.

One patron told the police that Beanie often brags about the money he made in the stock market. "I used to drive a brand-new Hyundai", said Beanie. "If LDK goes up another $15, I'll have my Hyundai back", vowed Beanie.

The patron also told police that Beanie has repeatedly tried to sell him a binder for $895. Beanie calls the binder "The Script". "With my script, you can make back $895 in the stock market in one day", claimed Beanie. "How can you believe somebody who can't even keep his Hyundai", the man asked police.

Re: Shorted ES @ 828

fatcontroller — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 19:16:12 -0000

If we break 840 tomorrow, it's wave 3 of a 5 wave pattern. The move should be the start of a ABC pattern. Otherwise, we're stuck in wave 2. If we retrace to near 800, it means we're actually in wave 4. The next move should be wave 5 which should bring us to at least 780. And that move will eventually launch a powerful wave X which will push us all the way to 1050. However, if we break 780 tomorrow, it means we're at wave 5 now and a new wave Z just started which will plunge us to at least 650.

I figure most of you already guessed what kind of monkey Beanie is. Last year, every time the market rallied hard, he's show up at Tim Knight's blog, making all sorts of crazy baseless predictions, laughing at shorts, urging them to surrender. Strangely, every time, he'd mark the exact top. When the market plunged, he'd disappear for a while. Rinse and repeat until one day the market just crashed and I remember he never showed up at Tim's blog again.

Matter of fact, I haven't seen him so active anywhere else until now.

It might help to reduce your size. Also it's a good idea to scale in. If you're comfortable with 300 shares, start with 100. Add 100 as the stock goes against you. Add the last 100 further off still. Then sit tight no matter what. If you're comfortable with only 100 shares, start with 30 shares. You can indeed make money with 30 shares at a time. I wrote a piece on trading 30 shares at a time.

Try yourself, Lawrence. Everyone is different. You need to find your own way instead of blindly following others. Atilla's trades may very well work out for him shortly and he probably isn't a bit worried. However, you sound like being tortured which shows his style doesn't work on you.

Probably late or erratic trade reporting. Happens to stocks in my watch list all the time. Never turned out to be anything.
