Looks good so far - whip up a log scale monthly chart going back to at least 2002. Draw the uptrend line, price is sitting on it. I may give it a shot, want a little confirmation, maybe a buy stop a cent above today's high. I'm going to set up a strangle real quick grmn. Then check out TASR a little more.Originally Posted by bassmaster
I see their last drop was due to earnings. I may wait one more day, see if an up candle forms, then try eod, or set a buy stop a penny or two over the following day's high, makes the stop a little riskier, but the play will have more reason to go in, see if it bounces from these lines.
yes, confirmation is the key. if it breaks $4 support and stays this has the potential to go low 3's. i like that it tested support yesterday and rebounded. i was looking at 4 to hold today and it did. tomorrow an up candle and i believe its a buy signal. but like i said if it breaks support and says below , sell IMO.
lol, roger that. I may give it a shot in my IRA, a lot of crazy option plays planned for tomorrow - doing it the right way though.
Hey Dr. Dave, or anyone, can you tell me what the hell goes on with these split second spikes I see sometimes while SIRI is trading. Is it just a bug in the system or what? You can see by the chart that because of the spike SIRI hit a high of .62 today at 1:45pm. But hell, there was no spike on the volume graph below, to match the spike on the chart. Almost like it didn't happen but you can plainly see that it did because .62 was indeed the high.
Sometimes there are just bad ticks... and those get erased after the trading day is done.
But often, it's just a mistake on the part of a buyer or seller. The volume didn't spike because it was just a single trade. 0.62 is near an old high, so someone was looking to cut out there, and likely so was someone else, and they messed up their trade, and it got routed such that it got paired up and taken.
They could have set up a buy stop around that area, and someone matched a sell. That's my take.
Often on low volume sub-pennies, you'll see a spike and it's usually 10 times what the current level of trading is... so someone with the ability to set their trades 10X off the mark can take advantage of someone else who also can, and got the decimal place wrong. Brokers like scottrade won't allow you to set a trade too far from the bid or ask so that you don't get caught in one of these. With the low volume stocks, all it takes is for the volume between MM's to be taken out one way or the other, and it'll trigger.
Anyway, if it was a real trade, it was a single trade, and that's why there isn't a large spike in volume.
Ah ok then, thanks for the input Dr. Dave. I see those little spikes with SIRI almost daily, except not as big as that .03 one like today, more like a half cent or a penny.
Interesting... was just looking at earnings dates, SIRI is up huh? Creepy with a capital K. The price isn't moving... indecision huh? I guess it's gonna fly or splatter after the release, huh? Seems that this is usually the case when prices kind of pause, especially on some type of lines. This should be interesting.
I almost take it as an ok sign since it hasn't run up any, lol.
Gold almost hit 1100 tonight - it's flying.
I need to sleep.
