More Gaps to Fill

No change. Those gaps take time, all I am saying is over time the gap will fill. Not "in 2 weeks it will fill"

APWR is dominated by daytraders. When the next swoon in the mkt happens daytraders have no interest is sitting around providing any floor in the stock. It will be abandoned and thats most likely when the stock fills that gap.

Today it got news, and the daytraders on a quiet day swarmed in since not too many names are up big. They will be gone soon. Rinse. Wash. Repeat.

WHEN APWR management can prove to be consistent and stick to their guidance maybe some institutional money of size and scale will come in and make this situation different.

More Gaps to Fill

What would be a crash to you? If we fall to SP 750 thats not a crash to me. S&P 500? Crash.

Trust me I'm ambivalent on stock direction; I try to make money both ways.

Most of my comments are about the real economy - if I could short the real economy that would be a different story. The Wall Street economy lives in parallel universes for long periods of time.

I have all these stocks on my watch list and have owned (or do own) some, so I look at their charts pretty often.

More Gaps to Fill

wow, did you do a white paper to get to 70%?

I wrote "IN MY EXPERIENCE" - I am glad that explicit wording was able to lead you to believe I am disingenuous. Almost always in stocks I watch that gap gets filled, even if it takes a years - as I wrote also explicitly.

If you have a white paper or research study showing that with 70 years of research, 70% of gaps get filled, I'd be happy to begin using that as a future reference.

They all look juicy

Mike, we are going with yellow weeds, rather than red shoots. Join the verbal movement.

Anything under $10 would signify the stock was under $5 as of Dec 31st, 2008. I find most stocks below $5 to be more for pure speculation rather than investing. Hence I put that cut off.

83 Stocks That Doubled Your Money in the First Half of 2009

GMGMQ is like going to a slot machine

I expect the current common to be wiped out like in just about all bankruptcies and then new common to be issued once emerged from bankruptcy

those type of stocks can jump 30% or drop 30% in 1 day if daytraders pile in but its not investing.

Dont confuse GM coming out of bankruptcy with that stock doing well - it wont be the same stock that is issued post bankruptcy.

The "No Amount of Bad News Can Bring This Market Down" Trades

sunrises, that would be an ambitious target.
If there is a belief the dollar will rally huge, than anything is possible, but I'd be looking at the 50 day average in low $130s as a solid first time entry point. I've held this name a long time so I keep a core position and then trade around it, so my focus might be different than someone buying it the first time.

I don't think it's expensive at all based on its mix of business but maybe some others do.

The "No Amount of Bad News Can Bring This Market Down" Trades

bearfund, I agree with you 100% intellectually

Unfortunately, this market is nothing related to logic. I am not touching the commercial banks here for reasons you listed. We have not even begun to discount all the bad loans coming related to the consumer. Just getting started here.

The i-banks are a little different animal - more towards the corporate side of thing and can be pseudo overseas plays.

I do expect a lot of regional banks to show serious trouble as we move through 2008 and into 2009. All the fuss so far has been with the big money center banks.

The "No Amount of Bad News Can Bring This Market Down" Trades

poncho, good call on bikes! Maybe Nike is a good call here because people will need to walk to work? Doesnt that run out the tread on their shoes much faster?

I am also looking into mule play... you know for those trips to grocery store - need to put the bags on something, now that people will be priced out of cars.

Hey GM Is now an international play, sales in Asia and all. They don't need no stinkin USA consumer.
