I want to call today's Catch of the Day "Extreme trend continuation." You often heard and probably thought "it's so low, it can't go any lower." Well, no such thing as too low or too high - stocks can and do get oversold, then oversolder, then oversoldest... then they sell a bit more and only then they bounce. Ditto on overbought - overboughter-overboughtest side. Now that we are done butchering English, let's look at the first chart. Short was called at 11:23 am and triggered a few minutes later:
Nice consolidation just above the low of the range. Break of such range is qualified as trend continuation signal, and having 15 cents stop I felt it was a relatively low risk play. Sure enough, APOL proceeded to give us 1:3 risk/reward. Now, look at the second chart to see just how much a stock was already down at the time of the call, on both intraday chart with pre-market included and on daily showing the huge overnigt gap down!
And yet, there was even more short opportunity in it. Main lesson is not even in playing this kind of setups - rather it's about warning not to assume that "too low" or "too high" means imminent reversal.

[15:20] {RonS} too political les...either 40 or 48 state ag's have launched an investigation
[15:20] {davd} remember (may agree or not)- concencus is that a wider yield curve is better for banks, i..e. if tlt drops
[15:21] {RonS} ...only if they lend davd...
[15:21] {davd} i knew someone would say that!
[15:21] {dino} goro sm l .08
[15:22] {RonS} ticker sounds like a great name for a bull...
[15:23] {Threei} Will be a while to get back to full employment no matter what the Fed does, QE could accelerate that process
[15:23] {Threei} - Japanese may have done their QE too gradually, experience suggests it should have been done more rapidly
[15:23] {dino} colm
[15:23] {Threei} sigh
[15:23] {Threei} btw
[15:23] {Threei} can anyone explain to me the connection with bond purchases and employment?
[15:24] {dino} no
[15:24] {Threei} shrug
[15:24] {Threei} they refer to it all the time as if there was direct one
[15:24] {dino} imo not, bonds are to re-inflate
[15:24] {strider} if you're unemployed, you probably won't buy any bonds.
[15:25] {magoo} APOL on volume
[15:26] {Threei} this debasement of the dollar will turn around and bite them in the ass, deeply and painfully
[15:28] {dino} well, imo, its a race to the bottom, most countries trying to do the same...

And yet, there was even more short opportunity in it. Main lesson is not even in playing this kind of setups - rather it's about warning not to assume that "too low" or "too high" means imminent reversal.
