After some volatile days, I didn't like the look of the descending triangle developing in NUAN, so closed out this position flat. Can always get back in if it takes off again. It looked like it was tracking nicely between the channel marked in red, but the last 10 days had five red candles, and MACD and RSI both showing down trends.

ARMH Sold at $20.89 9.7% in 12 trading days
The run-up in ARMH in the last two days, taking it way above the bollinger band meant I was reluctant to let this profit slip away. When a stock trades way out of its usual range like this, it might be the start of a really big run, or it might just lose all its gains straight away. After not taking enough profits in my HHWW trade two weeks ago, I thought 9.7% profit in 12 trading days is a pretty good trade, considering that my entry point wasn't technically overly compelling.
I'll look for a reentry point closer to the bottom range of the uptrend ARMH has been in for some time. The three year chart shows the strength in this technology and where this stock is going long term. I'll look for an rentry in the range between the green and pink moving averages.

HHWW The profits have left the building!
Panic selling today as investors realize HHWW was pumped up way to high.
There is no shame to run for the exits if the building is collapsing: I sold my last position in HHWW as it collapsed from $3 to $1 in a day.
Emotions way too much in play: I was beating myself up for not selling on Friday at $3.15 after the nasty plunge in the morning. My optimism that it would continue to rise was guiding my decision to hold rather than the clear signs that this hyped up run up was at an end. TDAmeritrade doesn't allow trailing stops, market orders or triggers on penny stocks, so I had to pick the exit point manually, which means my emotions were way too much in play. As I watched what happened just minutes after I sold, I was glad I held on to the profit I did. All in all, this stock yanked my emotions around rather more than I prefer.

NVEC Sold at $52.60 4% profit
TD Ameritrade does it again. They sold my stock at below the price traded at during the market session. Notice the price bar doesn't even reach the sell line I drew in. Go figure.
OK, so their trailing stops don't work honestly either, there stop losses are triggered by after market bids (not even an actual sale). What honest tools do they have to manage sell points accurately?
I wonder what their excuse will be this time. Maybe I'll be heading back to e*Trade soon.

17 Ways Rich People Think and Act Differently
- Rich people believe: “I create my life.” Poor people believe: “Life happens to me.” (This is HUGE. Every successful person I know is control of her life. Unhappy people are constantly complaining to me how this, that, or the other thing prevents them from doing something.)
- Rich people play the money game to win. Poor people play the money game to not lose.
- Rich people are committed to being rich. Poor people want to be rich.
- Rich people think big. Poor people think small.
- Rich people focus on opportunities. Poor people focus on obstacles.
- Rich people admire other rich and successful people. Poor people resent rich and successful people. (This is important, too — it seems to hold true among my friends.)
- Rich people associate with positive, successful people. Poor people associate with negative or unsuccessful people. (Another important one.)
- Rich people are willing to promote themselves and their value. Poor people think negatively about selling and promotion.
- Rich people are bigger than their problems. Poor people are smaller than their problems.
- Rich people are excellent receivers. Poor people are poor receivers.
- Rich people choose to get paid based on results. Poor people choose to get paid based on time.
- Rich people think “both”. Poor people think “either/or”.
- Rich people focus on their net worth. Poor people focus on their working income.
- Rich people manage their money well. Poor people mismanage their money well.
- Rich people have their money work hard for them. Poor people work hard for their money.
- Rich people act in spite of fear. Poor people let fear stop them. (This is big for me right now. I’ve accomplished most of the goals I set for myself, and need to set some new ones. But I have this nagging fear, because I’m moving into the unknown. Eker says that successful people act in spite of this fear. They move beyond worry, they “fake it til they make it”, learning as they go. Unsuccessful people do nothing at all.)
- Rich people constantly learn and grow. Poor people think they already know.

NUAN Opening Long Position at $18.34
Nuance Communications is a market leader in voice recognition, including the DragonDictate product. I think the company is a potential acquistion candidate for Google, HP, RIM or Samsung.
Many cellphones have had voice recognition for dialing and other simple tasks for years, but it never became the must have feature on a phone.
As smartphones change the user experience by providing a much more relevant and useful experience, being able to control web search and applications on a smartphone by voice will become a much bigger part of the mobile computing experience.

ARMH Long at $19 - Emerging technology portfolio
ARM Holdings PLC (ARMH) is the company that holds licences to the key chip technology used in many smart phones and tablets. ARM processors use memory and power more efficiently, enabling smartphones and tablets to turn on instantly and have a long battery life. Without these two features, the chips that power these devices make them unattractive to users.
In theory, this is like buying Intel about the time that Microsoft started selling a lot of personal computers. Smartphones are the next huge 'change wave' in the technology industry. As smartphone fever ramps up to fever pitch in the bric countries, and most first time gen-Y technology users in the new middle-classes of China and Brazil don't even buy a computer anymore (look at the demographics of China and Brazil to get a picture of the size of this market), smartphones will become the first and most important consumer device that these people own.
The entry point is not perfect, but the technology sector is so strong now that it may just go up from here.
If it doesn't I'll get out again and look for a better entry point.

HHWW taking profit at $2.25 and $2.40
After taking 15% and 10% of the profits off the table because the volatility was freaking me out, HHWW continued to explode on news that they are entering the Chinese market with products going into Luxury Hong Kong store The Swank.
I'm not a day trader, so my exit points below were not optimum. If I were a day trading, I think I would have caught the run up to $2.40 yesterday $2.60 today as exit points. I do the best I can using automated triggers and limit orders while I'm in meetings during the business day, and do my analysis and these blog posts at night.
On the bottom left of the graph is the channel where this stock was contained within before it exploded. This was the channel that made me think HHWW was a good buy, before the 17% and 22% gains of the last two days.
The remaining 75% of my position is at 75% profit in 10 trading days.
Run, Horiyashi, Run.

S stopped out $3.80
This was a rough ride and very unpleasant. First I got in too quickly based on my entry flowchart for stock reversals, without letting this reversal develop into a true breakout.
Then I didn't have a stop loss in (first rule of trading, limit your losses). The price recovered, and I should have got out even. But I didn't, I was confident it would turn around. But it didn't turn around, and now with my stop loss in, I was stopped out at my 5% stop loss at $3.80 on 12/3. The day after, it was back up 5% in a single day to over $4.
Now it's at $4.17. Should I get back in? I'm almost done with second guessing this volatile little bugger. I'm going to let a clear trend develop, as I think the company has potential and should benefit from all this frantic buying of smartphones as Christmas presents.

Waiting for Cisco to break out of the box
Waiting for CSCO to break out of this box. Might, go down, might go up. Alerts at $19.75 and $19. If it breaks out above $19.75 it could go back up to $21 quickly. If it breaks out below, it could go much lower. Tech stocks are strong right now, CSCO has loads of key market share and technology, so I am expecting the former, but I got stopped out of my Sprint and Nokia trades trying to pick a similar reversal, so am being cautious.
Swing Trading Setup Post from Brian Heylinger of SixFigureTrader.com
For you swing trade traders out there, I like to share with you my most valuable setup in emini S&P 500.
The setup is fresh in my mind because just last week my subscribers and I used the setup to take a 28-point profit in the S&P 500.I call it the ‘box trade.’
As with many things in trading, the more simple, the better. I live by that principle both in my personal life and in my trading career as well. And I think you’ll be hard pressed to find a more simple trading setup than my ‘box trade.’ So whether you’re new to trading, or you’ve been trading for years, this setup is right for you.
To fully understand the methodology behind the setup, you first need to understand how markets work. And what I’m about to tell you is true of all markets.
Markets trend and they consolidate, they expand and contract. It’s just the nature off all markets, and it has been for as long as man began trading goods.
When a market is trending (or expanding) it is making new highs and new lows. It’s at times like this volatility is a at a premium, and traders stand to make a good deal of money on the bigger moves. However, trending markets only occur a small percentage of the time. The rest of the time, markets consolidate. And it’s during this consolidation time as traders we must be prepared to catch the next big move.
In the S&P 500, these big moves normally occur after it’s been consolidating in a range for at least two weeks – this forms the box. See below:
That movement back and forth forms the box, and we need to pay very close attention to where the market trades, and where it closes.
For this setup to be valid, the S&P 500 much touch both the top, and the bottom of the box at least twice while consolidating in the range. As you can see here, the range of this box was approximately 30 points from 1170 – 1200. And the price action ‘kissed’ both the top and the bottom of the box on more than one occasion. It was a text book box trade:
Now, after this occurs, it’s our job to watch for the break.
Usually within a few weeks the break will occur – the market will stop consolidating, and begin trending. However, there really isn’t a way to know which way the market will break, so we wait.
The direction of the break really doesn’t matter, because we can take either side and profit. So we wait for the break to occur and then take the trade.
Here’s when you take a position: after the S&P closes either above the top of the box, or below the bottom of the box, the trade is on. If we break to the upside, we go long. If we break to the downside, get short, and that’s it.
In this case the S&P 500 broke to the upside:
Once the break occurs, you can expect the market to move a distance equal to the height of the box – in this case 30-points (1200-1170 – 30 points).
Once you’re in the trade, the only other thing you need to watch is your stop loss. And I close out the trade if the market ever closes back inside the box – because that would invalidate the break.
And there you have it my ‘box trade.’ This trade works 75% of the time, and occurs about 3-4 times per year.
As I mentioned earlier I use the setup to trade the S&P 500 emini. However, the beauty of the setup is that you can use it to trade any instrument that tracks the movement of the S&P 500 – So if don’t trade futures, you can trade ETF’s like SPY, SSO, and the like… Just remember to watch the action of the emini futures contract for the signal to take the trade.
So the next time you feel the market is range bound, pull up a daily chart, and see if the emini is forming a box. If it is, there may be a profitable trade right around the corner…
Good Trading,
Brian Heyliger

Double-up HHWW Position at $1.67
HHWW is doing well. No signs of real weakness, so I doubled my position size. Today it's up another 2.37%, bringing my overall investment to 12% in 10 days.
Unique Oil Stocks That Should Rise Hundreds of Percent
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
"Let me get this straight. You paid $200 per acre for the land… and then sold it for $10,000 per acre?" I was sitting in a deep leather chair in the best hotel in Zurich, Switzerland, speaking to my friend Cactus. Cactus is a "wildcatter" – an independent oil explorer. His group had just closed a land deal worth more than $1.3 billion – land that is located in the most exciting new oil district in America. I wanted details… That's why, when Cactus started talking about this oil district at my publisher's recent conference in Zurich, I was all ears. The presentation concerned the Eagle Ford shale, the largest new oil discovery since Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. If Cactus is right, investors in the right stocks will make many times their money from this find. And he provided several easy ways to take a position. The Eagle Ford shale is an "unconventional" oil field. Thin layers of rock trap the oil and gas. Successful wells drill down to the depth of the shale, then turn horizontally for up to a mile. The drillers use high-pressure fluid to crack the rock layers around the well (a technique called fraccing), giving them access to the oil and gas inside. The process is nothing like conventional drilling… where you basically stick a straw in the ground and oil gushes out of it. The Eagle Ford boom means companies that specialize in drilling unconventional fields are enjoying amazing demand right now. One oil company in the Eagle Ford has already identified 22,000 well locations. And it's going to need drilling services for those wells. Every company needs at least a hundred wells drilled… Cactus recommended two drilling companies that are getting a huge piece of the Eagle Ford drilling business. First is Patterson-UTI Energy (PTEN), a $3.2 billion drilling company with 44 rigs operating in the Eagle Ford. Companies are locking these rigs down with contracts up to two years. When I visited the region this summer, one of these rigs nearly ran me off a dirt county road. It was a huge rig, rolling by on a series of tractor-trailers. Cactus also mentioned Nabors Industries (NBR), a $6.6 billion drilling company with 55 rigs operating in the Eagle Ford. Both Patterson and Nabors will enjoy a big tailwind of demand from the Eagle Ford over the coming years. And to provide you with a bigger picture of the drilling situation, I put together this table of the public companies responsible for over 60% of the drilling in the Eagle Ford.
The "rigs active" column is the number of drill rigs operating in the Eagle Ford right now. The next column ("% of drilling") is the volume of Eagle Ford drilling the company controls. The final column shows the percent of the company's fleet committed to the Eagle Ford. While Nabors has the most rigs in the play, it's interesting to note that Helmerich & Payne has a quarter of its fleet in the Eagle Ford. It's clear the company is betting big on this field. As many DailyWealth readers know, I'm a big fan of the "picks and shovels" approach to investing in big commodity trends (make sure to read this essay for how it has produced huge gains for us this year). By owning some of the drilling companies I've mentioned here, you can take this approach to the most exciting American oil field of this generation. Good investing, Matt Badiali |

AMSC closed due to after market trading bid triggered my trailing stop
OK, so this really pisses me off. I put a trailing stop in to protect my profits in a stock I have just bought at a good price, which is going up. My trailing stop is about the same as the largest trading range within the last five days , so in theory it is a safe and realistic amount for a trailing stop.
What happens: Even though the stock never trades in the open market session down to my trailing stop price, my trailing stop still gets triggered.
Confused? I was, so I called TDAmeritrade to find out what is going on. They said that the trailing stop is triggered by the bid price in the closed session. So the stock doesn't even need to trade at that price - just some broker needs to bid that price in the quiet after hours.
My intepretation: A TDAmeritrade market maker puts in a low-ball bid in the closed session, knowing that a bunch of realistically set trailing stops put in by amateurs like me will get conveniently triggered and taken out of the market as soon as the market opens. Lots of commission for TDAmeritrade brokers, lots of lost profits for retail investors.
Solution: I conclude the game is rigged against stop losses and trailing stops. The only way to get around this is what TDAmeritrade calls a trigger, which you can specify to only trigger if the last sale is a certain amount, rather than the bid price, which they give you no choice about using for a trailing stop or stop loss.
Footnote: This never occured to me at Charles Schwab where I set a lot of trailing stops and never got taken out by an after-market bid. This is the third time something similar has happened at TD Ameritrade, I will have to check the exact prices to see what happened on the other occasions, but that's a downgrade for TDAmeritrade from my perspective.

AMSC Long @ $33.05 - Emerging Technology Portfolio
American Superconductor (AMSC) is the world's largest manufacturer of high temperature superconducting (HTS) wires and cabling. This technology is essential for upgrade of the US electricity grid in order to enable the new alternative energy sources such as solar and wind to be distributed efficiently across the country.
This is the second investment in my Emerging Technology investment portfolio, where I make speculative, longer term investments with fairly small amounts of capital. The philosophy is to attempt to be a lucky early investor in companies that become key players in the next wave of technological change.
As I work in the IT industry, my focus is on electronics, mobile computing, electrical grid and alternative energy fields, as I have both a professional interest and knowledge base in this field.

Q3 Market and Performance Analysis
Although on the Monthly index graph above, the quarter appears an overall upward trend, volatililty made it difficult to catch this trend. Several larger swings caused a lot of uncertainty about whether the market would break out upwards or downwards. Contradictory commentary and hysteria in Gold markets caused many to speak about a second crash.
Investment Performance
401K investments did extremely well, with a 13% gain in portfolio value, despite the lower contribution levels that I began in Q2. The was probably due to the rebound after June, and the concentration of investments in Small Cap and Small Cap value funds.
This performance wasn't reflected in my active trading account, with only a 3% gain (although this reflects no additional cash contributions) . After transferring $10,000 to a new TDAmeritrade account for active trading, a number of very painful learning experiences followed as I tried to apply the learning from the Professional Trader education in choppy market conditions.
I was preoccupied with shifting my focus from a position trader and longer term investor to a shorter term swing trader. I also sold many income positions to realize what profits were left in them, due to uncertainty about which way the market would break out.
By the end of the quarter, I had created a detailed trading and investment plan, and was developing some much more rigorous trade entry and exit strategies for short term trades. I also developed a much more detailed 401K strategy to be implemented over Q4.
However, this focus on short term trades left me sitting on the sidelines when the market took off in September, and I was unable to capitalize on the growth in September due to focus on short term trades at the expenses of correctly seeing what the overall market was doing.
Overall target investment growth is still down 6% on plan, but an overall increase in Portfolio Value of 9% for the quarter was acceptable, given the number of mistakes I made increasing my skills after the professional trader education.
Lessons Learned:
- In choppy markets, it may be worth trying short term swing trade, but it can potentially just be better to zoom out to the big picture, watch for potential longer term patterns to emerge.
- Learning experience: The biggest market moves happen over 1-2 two month timeframes, not 2-10 day timeframes. Swing trading can be exciting, but I am left wondering if it is the correct strategy to optimize the growth of my portfolio within the time I have available to trade within the context of a full-time job.

HHWW Long at $1.40 Hariyoshi Worldwide
Normally I am skeptically of penny stock tip sheets and fashion stocks, but this tip on Hariyoshi Worldwide (HHWW) Inc is turning out well with 8% gain in the last two days. The chart below is a daily chart, going up at about 4% daily. This is a very speculative trade, on the OTC market, so you can't even use a trigger or trailing stop. Need to watch it very carefully and get out if it starts collapsing.
With antique tattoo based fashion Ed Hardy from Christian Audiger was very hip last season, (disclaimer; my favourite cap is an Ed Hardy design). Hariyoshi III should be hip in the consumer run-up to Christmas, with Asian style slant tattoo chic. Brings back memories of my time in Tokyo as a twenty-two year old design student, interviewing designers in Harajuku.

S Long at $4, using flowchart for entry strategy.
Going long on Sprint (S) as the first real live of my entry strategy flowchart. The chart fits the strategy perfectly. Let's see what happens.
Buy price was $4, which was a little high in the trading range of the past days, but the green candles are promising, and there is strong support from the August low.

I timed the entry on this AGNC short trade perfectly
I timed the entry on this AGNC short trade perfectly, but tightened up my trigger way to much when it started to show some profit. So I came up with some revised rules about how to set trade exit triggers. Triggering too early in this AGNC short trade, I covered my commission, but then adjusted the trigger too soon and too tight. The trigger closed the position at a negligable profit, but the next day there was a huge gap down to the price that would have allowed taking a 3% profit in only 3 days - which is right on target for my desired profitability of 1% profit per day in the market.
First cover your commission, to make sure you are not preoccupied with commissions eating into your profits because of trading too much. If you a just a small investor where you are measuing the success of a trade in how it compares to paying your monthly electricity bill, this is a factor, even with $10 commissions.
Next set the trigger to about the Average Daily Range above the closing price, on a daily basis for the sort of momentum/swing trades I do. On the AGNC trade, this would have been about 40c above the Friday close, so $28.98. That would have locked in a good chunk of the gap down, but leaving some space for the likely volatility that may occur because of the sharp dip in price.
