Hot Pick Of The Day

MR. Newborn sir,

What's your opinion on BRKR.
Looks great to me.

your opinion would be much appreciated.

[spikefader]

S...the bias is still bullish, but ...RIMM needs a pullback.

I agree. Doing a 5th within a bigger 5th......I'd be waiting for the abc in days ahead.

MR. Newborn sir,

GWIZ:
I think you're a good stock picker, and a great asset to MM Forums.
Thank you for the question. Always glad to take a look at what you have found.

Around here the line is: "If you want it bad, you'll get it bad. And if you want it REAL BAD, you'll get it REAL BAD." BRKR has had quite a run, but I think this weekly looks like she may roll over. Sure, BRKR is basing right now. But those candlesticks with the long shadows show that BRKR has seen quite a lot of selling into strength in recent weeks. I would really like to see a bull move past that $8 marker, and really, past the $8.50 marker, to say she's still bullish. The PnF says she's still worth $8.75, but I don't know if she's got the steam to get there, and would opine that if she does, she's moving much higher, say $10+.

I'll give you how I would play BRKR: I would pay no more than $7.75. I would put a stop under her at $7.38. I would remember that the first resistance is $8.20, and perhaps take some profit there. And I would be looking at a second target of $8.47, and pull perhaps another third off the table here. And then I'd let the last run, with the stop advanced to $7.94. Yup, that last stop is loose, but people get nervous when they get high up in the air.

I'll give you both weekly and daily charts;

Here's the weekly:


And when you look at the daily, you can really see that $8 resistance.

I like your style, New Born .. as also evidenced in your new? avatar

Best,
Geri

Well, I am somewhat of a gearhead (along with being a preacher).

Last night a preacher friend called me up and said, "Here's the problem I am having with my car. The trans shop wants $1500 to fix it. What should I do?" He came over and for $35.52 we had it fixed in 45 minutes. He was happy about that.

As for the avatar, I love the General. IMO (forget the humble), they make the best powertrains in the world.

Vix

The VIX is at a ten year low right now. At the money PUT options cost only 5.5% (on avg), compared with a more normal 13.5%, and last May they ran as high as 22%. This is incredible investor confidence, and may signal a sell off is coming soon.

Option Strategies

It is my opinion that many MM forumites are a little light on their options knowledge. Too bad, because options can pull your fat right out of the fire. Why eat losses when you can consistently book at least a small gain on every trade?

If you would like to remedy this lack of knowledge, Bernie Schaeffer is one of the best. And if you hit this link, he'll send you a free DVD which is very thorough.

The price is right; the product is good; so why not hit the links?

Stld

STLD split two for one today. STLD will run up the next two days, and after that, makes an excellent short play.

GERI:
May I suggest an AAPL instead of RIMM?
This bullish stock may hit $95-$100.

PnF likes it to $97, and the Dow Theory calls for an unbelievable
$120 should AAPL clear this $86.38 and hold it.

I own this one.

AAPL is popping up again today. She's runnin', boys and girls. Hop on and ride with her!

HI NBB,

I need to get information on the tax treatment of stock options. When I try the net, I get the tax treatment of stock options that are done through payroll (not what I am looking for), but I want to know how they are treated on schedule D of the 1040. For example, I have an option play that expired for a loss. Is it short term loss or long term?

Can you point me to where I could find out that information on the net or in a tax book?

Thanks for your help.

Dave Streckler knows everything about taxes. My opinion it is a short term loss IF you held the option less than 18 months. I used H&R Tax Cut to do my taxes, and they ask me the proper questions and take the proper deductions as I go through the process. So my knowledge is limited. But I am pretty sure it is a short term loss.

Your timing on that trade was miraculous seeing that it opened at 54.16 and the high of the day was at yesterdays close of 54.38. Why did you exit the play at 54.17 and make .16 when you could have ridden it down to 53.65 level. What made you exit the trade
at that point and so early?
