U bet. I think im gonna take monday off to trade lol.

I'm still choked about INFN. It's like I saw the potential, I put the order in last night, then it blew by me faster than a kid doing a gas run at the Chevron down my road on a tuesday evening. I would have made around $600 today (which is a pretty fun day for me).

Credential direct (my online broker) doesn't do any sales after hours. What a piss off. They also suck cuz they round share prices up to 2 decimal places. Hello penny stocks @ .0045 get rounded to .005 which only shows the 11% gain but not the price so you have to whip out your calculatrice everytime you are basking in sub penny territory (which for me is constantly).

The question earlier in this thread was what brokerages are people using, but the real question is what are the BEST brokerages? I heard e-trade sucks and they take forever to fill orders, I also heard TD isnt the greatest but this is just what I hear.

wtf I just checked out questtrade its only $10/ per trade (unlmd shares), I pay $20. bye bye CD.

Kaostik, those are some good insights, I am just following up on them.

I am just checking up on couple of mining firms, and post them up if I think it'd be worthwhile.

Thanks for the picks Kaostic.. I am definately playing TCLT and I am going to be watching yours closely as well.

Can't wait for the bell monday morning..



MORE COWBELL!!

Just a note, I will be playing TCLT probably for the duration of the week, however long the merger takes to complete.

PS. GSPG should be fun to watch as well!

yah i wonder about that too, everyone seems to be posting their profits from penny stocks but i wonder about their overall portfolio and their net gains

To me it doesn't seem like a good time to invest in gold right now since it hit a record high a couple of days ago

^ ...i am (scroll up)


in regards to small/mid caps... well, since most of them are holds (for me anyhow)...there isn't much to talk about, about them.

the nature of volatility in penny stocks make it more of a topic to talk about for those trading...which is why it's probably talked about more. ppl get excited about catching runs(obviously you miss and lose money sometimes too..but i doubt you'll hear many of those stories )...and posting the tickers to for anybody else interested.

Damn mine took a beating today. Gonna dump tclt tomorrow.

Look at these tips I found on a website I visit.. (always good to read these every now and then to keep your head straight!)

1. Forget the news, remember the chart. You're not smart enough to know how news will affect price. The chart already knows the news is coming.

2. Buy the first pullback from a new high. Sell the first pullback from a new low. There's always a crowd that missed the first boat.

3. Buy at support, sell at resistance. Everyone sees the same thing and they're all just waiting to jump in the pool.

4. Short rallies not selloffs. When markets drop, shorts finally turn a profit and get ready to cover.

5. Don't buy up into a major moving average or sell down into one. See #3.

6. Don't chase momentum if you can't find the exit. Assume the market will reverse the minute you get in. If it's a long way to the door, you're in big trouble.

7. Exhaustion gaps get filled. Breakaway and continuation gaps don't. The old traders' wisdom is a lie. Trade in the direction of gap support whenever you can.

8. Trends test the point of last support/resistance. Enter here even if it hurts.

9. Trade with the TICK not against it. Don't be a hero. Go with the money flow.

10. If you have to look, it isn't there. Forget your college degree and trust your instincts.

11. Sell the second high, buy the second low. After sharp pullbacks, the first test of any high or low always runs into resistance. Look for the break on the third or fourth try.

12. The trend is your friend in the last hour. As volume cranks up at 3:00pm don't expect anyone to change the channel.

13. Avoid the open. They see YOU coming sucker

14. 1-2-3-Drop-Up. Look for downtrends to reverse after a top, two lower highs and a double bottom.

15. Bulls live above the 200 day, bears live below. Sellers eat up rallies below this key moving average line and buyers to come to the rescue above it.

16. Price has memory. What did price do the last time it hit a certain level? Chances are it will do it again.

17. Big volume kills moves. Climax blow-offs take both buyers and sellers out of the market and lead to sideways action.

18. Trends never turn on a dime. Reversals build slowly. The first sharp dip always finds buyers and the first sharp rise always finds sellers.

19. Bottoms take longer to form than tops. Fear acts more quickly than greed and causes stocks to drop from their own weight.

20. Beat the crowd in and out the door. You have to take their money before they take yours, period.

sooooo....did anyone give cctc a second look?

here was my original post:

btw:

GOLD HILL, Nev., Feb 05, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- GoldSpring, Inc. (GSPG) announced today that it has received assay data from American Assay, an independent testing firm, for the four exploratory holes drilled during December 2007 in the Hartford Complex in the Comstock Lode District of Nevada. As part of the Company's Phase 1 Drilling Plan, the four exploratory holes were drilled in a line, demonstrating lateral continuity between the drill holes. The drill results indicate the continuation of the gold and silver mineralization beyond the current boundaries of the Hartford Complex pit on to the Company's adjoining claims further expanding the known ore body. The third party assay results showed ore grades that were 30% greater than the initial grades indicated by the Company's preliminary in-house assays. The first exploratory hole, L07-01, encountered 80 feet of precious metals mineralization from a depth of 70' to 150' grading 0.056 opt gold and 0.668 opt silver. The hole is highlighted by 10' grading 0.117 opt gold and 1.611 opt silver. The second exploratory hole, L07-02, encountered 115' (160' - 275') of precious metals mineralization grading 0.074 opt gold and 0.69 opt silver, highlighted by 15' grading 0.180 opt gold and 0.67 opt silver. The third and fourth exploratory holes, L07-03 and L07-04, encountered gold values highlighted by 30' of 0.036 opt gold and 1.00 opt silver.

The Company's Phase 1 Drilling Program commenced in the Lucerne Pit of the Hartford Complex in December 2007. Jim Golden, GoldSpring's Chief Operating Officer, said, "We are pleased to see the assay results from the outside lab show significantly higher grades of ore than our in-house testing. We are also encouraged by the fact that the mineralization lies close to the surface, creating additional positive economic possibilities."

the split (and details):
http://www.revscene.net/forums/showt...26#post5674626

it's worth buying @ 27-28 imo. watch your L2's and see if you can pick up cheaper during the day. Right now the stock is fair illiquid, but there'll probably be more action on fri. just keep your eye on it, i suppose
