[08:01] {Threei} RAYMOND JAMES INITIATES IVAN WITH OUTPERFORM- Price Target C$3
[08:56] {fernp} gm
[08:57] {Threei} good morning
[08:59] {Threei} dp, look dcc please
[08:59] {hawkfan4} morning Vad, all
[09:00] {Threei} hawk :)
[09:02] {Threei} SOLF beating continues
[09:03] {cosmo} VRGY beats est. sees better times ahead...fwiw
[09:15] {dino} gm all
[09:15] {Threei} cosmo, dino :)
[09:16] {cosmo} :)
[09:19] {dptl} is that a long weekend?
[09:19] {esemde} good morning
[09:19] {Threei} yes sir
[09:19] {Threei} ese :)
[09:20] {dptl} ty
[09:31] {dino} hurc
[09:33] {Threei} CSUN dropped right out of the gate... wanted to find short entry
[09:33] {Threei} maybe posts bounce
[09:34] {esemde} long ESLR 1/2 .25
[09:35] {Threei} .49 short CSUN if holding under .60
[09:35] {Threei} want to keep all stops and triggers tight
[09:35] {esemde} .45 may have been better on 1 min chart but this is an agressive entry
[09:36] {Threei} friday before long weekend, you know
[09:36] {Threei} I would play it the ame way ese, ESL is a pullback stock, not breakout one
[09:36] {Threei} ESLR I mean
[09:37] {esemde} tks
[09:37] {Threei} VVUS again
[09:37] {Roman} 21 long PTEN
[09:38] {Roman} 21 32.35 small
[09:39] {dptl} .
[09:40] {Threei} sharp downtick NQ
[09:40] {esemde} CSUN is in Swing pullback territory....10.00 area...might consider a couple of lots here
[09:43] {Threei} CPHD small shares long .86 if holding above .60
[09:43] {Threei} 2 days high break
[09:46] {esemde} out ESLR .52 +.27
[09:46] {Threei} wtg
[09:46] {Threei} advantage of aggressive entry
[09:46] {esemde} thank you
[09:46] {Threei} should you have bought .45, wouldn't be so rosey
[09:47] {Threei} after tagging it first time it dropped to .30 faster than you can say mama
[09:47] {esemde} true.....thought i would it....
[09:47] {esemde} not sure how to judge aggressive entry well just yet....any tips
[09:47] {Threei} then you would have suffered through slow return to your trigger and agonize over decision to get out with little profit not really rewarding for the risk
[09:48] {esemde} what type of stock suits this type of entry Vad
[09:48] {Threei} well... get it as close to support as possible on sign of strength,
[09:48] {Threei} keep tight stop under support,
[09:48] {esemde} gottcha
[09:49] {Threei} use spike into regular trigger to partial out or take scalp unless it triggers and slices through fast
[09:49] {Threei} in which case you have double profits
[09:49] {Threei} and be ready to take more stops than usual
[09:49] {esemde} yes...
[09:49] {Threei} because your odds are lower
[09:50] {Threei} but those stops will be tighter
[09:50] {esemde} whoaaa hard pullback on ESLR
[09:50] {peterg} hi
[09:50] {esemde} peter
[09:50] {Threei} yup, .45 entry wouldn't have rewarded you with much
[09:50] {Threei} peter :)
[09:53] {Threei} VVUS
[09:53] {Threei} .36 long
[09:53] {Threei} .24 stop
[09:54] {Threei} want to partial out under .50 at 1:1 and keep half for .50 break
[09:55] {Threei} which would pu VVUS in serious runner category
[09:55] {dino} about 4.5% dji drop from highs this week. buy the dips soon imo
[09:56] {esemde} sensing a summer rally dino?
[09:56] {dino} no
[09:56] {esemde} do you play the indexes much....or at all
[09:57] {dino} not much, use them for stock moves. i trade, not thinking long term, feel we are back to earlier in year, buy dips sell rips mode
[09:58] {Threei} half out VVUC
[09:58] {Threei} VVUS
[09:58] {esemde} ahhhh....sounds good to me
[09:59] {Threei} stop to .29 for the balance

[10:08] {Threei} IMGN, presents on some conference soon, and beautiful daily
[10:08] {Threei} volume is disgusting
[10:08] {Threei} don't know what to make of it
[10:09] {Threei} 4.50 break is very tempting, but with 7K volume
[10:09] {Threei} and volume declining as it climbed into resistance
[10:09] {Threei} big offer at 4.50... if taken may improve things
[10:10] {Threei} well, haalf lot on .50 break with stop under .40
[10:10] {Threei} what kind of risk is that not to take the trade

[10:31] {Chaeron} don't feel bad Geo... I normally get a :) from Vad, but he's cranky this morning...
[10:31] {Threei} bid just got filled for whole amount
[10:31] {Threei} me no cranky
[10:32] {Threei} me simply rude... but that's nothing new
[10:33] {Threei} my take on this collision on IMGN:
[10:33] {Threei} buyer that bid at .48 big and just got filled is real,
[10:33] {Threei} if offer at .50 gets taken, I feel comfortable taking it
[10:33] {Threei} stop .39
