Helluva pullback on that SINO...V is rebounding nicely after retreating like a mutha these past couple weeks. Still watching COIN, won't pull the trigger so fast on selling this time.

Yeah. That's why I said I'd put a stop on it. I have couple china stocks that can take a beating when the pull back. I learned my lesson and when I get in them shit. I am put stops at least a few points below where I enter. I decide how much I can stand to loose and place the stop limit there. The market went in a bear mode so on shipping.
 
Well....a blind monkey could have picked a winner today..
For the most part AGs really hit strong today, POT taking out 52 week high/MOS/MON on the heels...had OILS looking very strong as well as COALS/STEEL etc..AND get this Financials were Heavy green as well....well folks one part of that equation DO NOT MAKE SENSE..
OILS & Financials green on the same day,,,

just FYi....the HOGS pick i dropped (not sure if any picked up) but sucker is now 13, great china FOOD play...

We'll see the reality of this rally tommorow..some of it just don't look right....AGs though like i said a few days ago may be getting cycled back...got AGU at 92..etc..

good luck 2 allz

IVN had a big run today. Up 16%.
if your remembered when I brought this to the board it was somewhere trading in the high 8 or low 9. It's now at 11 which was one of my target if no news and just based on commodity rally. Today's move was big and I am not sure what to make of it. I haven't seen any news. But I am going to keep and eye out. Too bad I didn't own this option in the another account besides Scottrade. Scottrade sucks. They don't have trailing stops on options. So I can't just put a trailing stops or a stop/loss on the position and leave.


IVAN up over the $3 mark now.

How tight do you set your stops, may I ask? I think I'm in too deep so I'm goin all or nothing on SINO till it recovers (50%) I do have some decent plays elsewhere though.

I usually set my at about 10%. Once I lose 10% of my initial investment, then it's time to sell. At that point I will watch the stock closely and jump back in when I feel like it's gaining ground again.

@kjxxx...man, I really need to learn how to play options. FEED was up 8% earlier this week, COIN & COINZ were both up %15 earlier this week, and now IVAN..%16 today. Imagine If I had bought some calls on these stocks...I'd be smiling now
 
Congrads Gents! A day like today feels great. COINZ AGU CNOA & CAGC all green. Much respect. I treated myself to a more than my usual premium cigar today. Now to prepare for tomorrow.......

when I brought it to the board the stock was at 17. It went to 21 then to 26. I would have had a 2 point stop on it. back then. If you are buying now it would still be a 2 point stop for me.

unfortunatly CNOA & CAGC did not join the party both closed down .03...all good though, AGU back at 92, good for those who were lil spektical on it,,,think it will still outperform the AG sector ..

COIN is going to get interestign soon,,,they have an investor/shareholder meeting tommorow & some light may be shed on the plans & the plant to be open...

once that plant is up, revenues should come in at a good rate

hmmm what else....oh been composing a list of to me the best sectors not known as AG...sure there are more for each layer....

**of all the metals, silver to me has the highest potential upside ~100% would put it at 34/oz** very few pure silver plays out there, i like copper as well, but FCX is just a giant in that sector, not too many minors...
do think this sector will do well...
 
WTF!!!!!!!!!!! where is the rest ofthis thread!!!!!!!!!!!

lol my bad ff3 had to change the view, good look popo

are we watching another IB fall.??? looking at LEH it looks like the alarms are going off, they seem to have averted danger when BSC fell, as some of you will recall we spoke of them being the "next" casualty way back then, but they rosied it up for a bit got the stock price up & moved on a bit now it appears that the other shoe has dropped & the $6B secondary they just did a week back looks like it will be repriced from the $28 it was, to more $17-$20, as the stock is around 24 now.
they are trading boatloads & i was lucky to snag a few 20 puts late in the day & in 1/2 hour they were up 100%. Overall all the band look like thier on a ticking clock, C/JPM/GS/MBI/ all seem like they are going down - interest rates can't save them ...no bank is safe. Still,...i'm leery of being short financials for too long..the last time C went under 20 it sprnag back to $26+,...
ON to some better news AGs - are alove & well..AGU my pick to outperfom the sector is right on point touching 100 today...& issuing gudace dude to "unprecedented demand"--excellent!!! those of you with AGU congrats...do not sell unless you need to,,time is on your side in the sector once you're ready for the volatile times. TITN is sitting at all time highs 27.75...not bad they have earnings next week so it may be a run up or it could be setting a new base. Now hottest sector as of right NOW is COAL......Natural Gas is a nice #2, OILS are iffy right now as they've becme a bit disconnected form OIL prices, STEEL another great sector....I'd hold back on solar - but their time will come, as they seem to go thru quick cycles,.....

As for those picks not doing so well (PAL/TGB/COIN/etc al)well met's just say metal prices have become as volatile as anything out there...gold has been beaten up & still sits at close to 900. Silver is the most volatile & its around 17. Palladium & platinum need 1Q of South African winter to see where it puts the prices. PAL has done poorly, in the interim, but its all subject to the PD price...

good luck to all of you...

Nice call on TITN and AGU (sold mine at $94 :angry:). I imagine that there's still room for price growth when compared to MOS and POT. If it pulls back 3% or so, I'll jump in again.
 
LocoScienti$t/Workoff...

Coal seems to be on a launching pad, the expectations is for price to double for thermal coal, this is after it's already doubled. i suspect Coal is the going to be the hottest sector of the year you look at JRCC its up 300% over 1 yr, PCX has been a behemoth, Arch no different. The returns are based on the fact of high demand & flooding in Austrialia - so the US is now a source for coal where as before Europe was getting its coal from other countries...read up & you'll see why demand is where it is & why you can expect 2x coal prices (look how potash the commodity has risen in price, but it hasn't doubled in 1 yr,,,tho potash is expecting that $1000/ton price to hit once POT/AGU/MOS (CANPOTEX-this is the POtash OPEC). Look at the price target on PCX $166-$250...
Anyway...AGU will go higher,,i suspect $150+, POT to $300, MOS to $190, remember the story hasn't changed, crops just got laced by floddin in the US, commodities rallied hard & demand is good...AG is on a run for 3+ years..if you're long just forget you have those AGs for a bit. look for you next plays.....
TITN,,,doing great though I'm a bit skeptical after last John Deere earnings which tanked that stock (its' the worst perfoming Big Ag out there, & TITN is in the same sector...so, i think it maybe time to buy a protective put agains any long positions with profits...
IPI ain done bad neihter 58..

anyway,,seems like the board is thinning...but make those gains...they'r eout there & will ALWAYS be out there...
rich men need to stay rich so the market will always offer a good bet lol

Thanks for the break down. Ive set a stop for TITN one of my biggest gainers this year of your picks. Much appreciation much respect. Peace.

ok, well good to have the STOP in,
what you got to learn to do next is buy a protective put against your long position.

so lets say you have 100 of TITN @ 20.oo , its now 27.oo & you're glad for the 700 gain but think it maybe lil heavy on top, you plunk down a few hundred bucks on a PUT say 25 Jul Put at whatever price...now,,should the stock drop, your PUT increases in value, & you still have the stock for the long haul...just a strategic play...the stock may drop 5.00 to 22, but your 25 PUT would have gone up more than the $500 (unrealized)loss...food for thought...

Will be playing Coal calls in July & likely MER puts...MER seems a bit shaky right now...

good luck to all...

hmm,,,if TITN one of your biggest gainers of my picks then you picked the weaker ones LOL POT/MOS/AGU/ are all likely up alot more %age wise...i think i dropped MOS here at $80 lol...$150 now,,I know AGU was dropped low as well....
but i've had some duds as well...PAL(will be good one day) COIN(pure risk play as i said before it dropped) SWC(very iffy on it now, had a nice 100% run tho)..u hit/u miss..lol
