     FUQI looks pretty good today. My JTX is not bad either

    FUQI has tripled since May 13th.  Wow.  I've been watching it the whole time but never actually bought any.  I keep thinking it will pull back, but it doesn't.

    Re: Battle of the species - 3 picks - 1 day

     I know the feeling. I jumped on JTX two days ago. Unfortunately, I bought only 100 shares at 5.8. I am 26% up in two days. Also I bought 200 shares of SIMO like a week ago, maybe more. I was pretty frustrated since it went down most of the time but yesterday and today jumped a lot. I sold them this morning at 3.93. I was lucky since it came down after that. SAY is another amazing stoc. I wanted to buy it at 2.2 a week ago but I hesitated. Today has reached 5.06. Fundamentals are very strong so I expect to go ever higher. I sold today some stock which didn't move lately, I took a loss and I bought SAY at 4.9. It's a gamble I know after more than 100% rise in a week but I said what a heck, I need to take the risk. Let's see how is turning out. Probably tomorrow will go down 30% just to p... me off Smile

     

    The thing is I am pretty cautios investor so don't like these type of stocks that moves very fast so I don't think I will ever risk too much money on them.

    SAY was definitely a great pick a few weeks ago, I scooped this one up around 2.10, sold 3/4 of the position, after it hit 3.5, waited for the pull back not realizing that it had an earnings report, then when it beat stocks flew out the park. I bought back in close to the lows yesterday and sold it again today. Still holding on to 500 shares with a $3.05 cost basis. OREX was another high flier, bought it around $2.89

    The high fliers are sure fun when the markets are going up.  But look out below when we get some bad days.  I've used these in the game here recently, but haven't used them with real money.  When I feel more agressive in real life I use the 3X ETFs and watch them closely.

    Here are today's results:

     

    Team Ticker Change Points  
             
    Barboni JTX Up 15.25% 4 Jackson Hewitt Tax Services Inc
    Monkeys FUQI Up 6.25% 3 Fuqi International, Inc.
    Eagles PBR Up 0.53% 2 Petroleo Brasileiro S.A.
    Monkeys CRAY Down 1.11% 1 Cray Inc
    Monkeys TNL Down 2.81% 0 Technitrol, Inc.
    Eagles SEED Down 3.42% -1 Origin Agritech Limited
    Barboni QXM Down 3.63% -2 QIAO XING MOBILE COM
    Eagles FAS Down 3.67% -3 FINANCIAL BULL 3X
    Barboni SIMO Down 5.14% -4 Silicon Motion Technology Corpo
             
    Score day 8:      
    Monkeys     4  
    Barboni     -2  
    Eagles     -2  
             
    Combined score after 8 days

    Re: Battle of the species - 3 picks - 1 day

    I'm riding the greed train another day with two high momentum picks and throwing in one new one that's a bit more low key.

    FUQI - Wow again today (down in after hours)

    CTCM

    PTC - PAR Technology

    There are more advanced takeover talks and strong active after hours activity on ELX.  It did not show up on my screens, so I am not including it in my picks.

    Re: Battle of the species - 3 picks - 1 day

    To participate in this competition you need to get your picks in by midnight. These picks will be considered for Friday's trading unless you change your picks prior to the cutoff time for Friday.

    Re: Battle of the species - 3 picks - 1 day

    Hey Bishop, it would be great to have you join in.

    Rich, if you look at the previous posts (for the 6/10 trading day) we allowed in an entry that was shortly after midnight.  If it's ok with you I would like to include Bishop for 6/11.  Bishop also has a lot more experience on here, so maybe I can learn something from the added input.

    (We also never specified the time zone for the cutoff)

    Re: Battle of the species - 3 picks - 1 day

    I have no problem with that, especially since I'm making bank on the banks. As a matter of fact, we should make the cut off 12am pacific time. Hows that? Picks should be in before the market opens.

     It's a good idea, Rich

    Re: Battle of the species - 3 picks - 1 day

    This is great, aside from the fact that I'm at the bottom of the stack. The screen I used for this competition was for finding stocks that are undervalued and building a base. Using that screen gets me in a trade about 5 days to 2 weeks early. So I'm using a different screen that I've formulated, and it has given me a boat load of momentum movers to choose from for tomorrow's picks. Look out guys, I'm about to "Take...... these broken wings..... and learn to fly again...." as if I was a etrade baby trader. Good show Bishop and Barboni. Congrats for today, watch your back tomorrow! lol

    Reminder -

    Picks do NOT carry over from day to day.  You can use the same picks, but you need to indicate that intention each day.  The purpose of starting this thread was to generate ideas on a daily basis.

     

    Thanks
