I doubt. I got out at 2.38. I was hoping to hold until 2.50. But nah. MT has been my bread n butter lately.

There's the RIMM PR I was talking about...it broke 13 on the downside though...up 10 percent after-hours ...it's all a conspiracy...lol ...they time the PRs based on technicals...so they get the best bang for their PR

Do u have to pay extra for after hour trades?

@eastsidaz, yeah sorta...u gotta route it through marketmakers...INET,ARCA...etc...limit and market orders don't work pre and after-hours.....they charge pershare a lil extra...depends on ur broker ....

@Tyranny, that's interesting! So if a company wanted to do a release on some not so favorable news, they would do it at the end of the day? Consider me a rookie, what are the logistics associated with doing that? How does the biggest bang for the buck work out?

@Fez...i dont know about the time they post the PR..I m talking about technical indicators ...abt bad news they would probably do it when the stock is at its highs to lessen the damage caused by the bad news ...m jst gonna refer to things that I have posted here on sajha in the past for examples...

for CRM CFO selling shares when the stock was at its highs of the month>>>less damage

LNG ..abt a week ago i think..50MA line was abt to cross over 200 MA line..bullish as it can get(golden cross)...they put out a PR of india or some shit ....stock shot up and when it got to a point they put out another PR about dilution and it tanked

FSLR abt a month ago ..was on another thread i think..inverted bullish hammer ...next day put out a PR ...stock shot up

if u think abt it ...its jst things u notice that make sense...might sound like conspiracy theories but I've seen it happen numerous times to set it aside as conspiracy theories

yeah abt RIMM...stocks love round whole numbers(probably cuz of options strike prices) ...the reason i was talking abt low 13s was ..its another set of options with that strike prices of 13...BIG money
chartwise nothing bullish though

 When is the payroll tax extension deadline? Stock will drop like it's hot due to the deadlock which I am sure will happen. Then will be a time to go all in. 

@tyranny, thanks, interesting trend, guess it helps to release bad news in pairs with good news.

 Did anyone ride on MU this morning?

I'm short 200 MU 6.40 avg overnight...
Markets gapping tomorrow
6 long positions overnight ....
CRM. At 96
ORCL at 26.61
GNK at 7
RIG at 40.19
DMND at 29.60
PCX at 9.06

Short..CEI at 14.96 .. Cutting losses on this one tomorrow...

 YOKU looks good tomorrow. Keep it on the watch.

 What's hot tomorrow? When is YOKU going thru the roof?

 I bought like a few K shares of Sprint at 2.24. Is it going up tomorrow? Why is BAC on Steroids?

The White House denies the rumor of a massive mortgage refinancing plan, letting the air out of Bank of America (BAC +8.6%) shares, -2.2% AH. The chatter had sparked BofA to the top of the S&P leader board and seemed to pull the rest of the market out of the doldrums. It was the fifth straight up day for BofA shares, something that never happened in 2011

VLO will go up 5% tomorrow.

 How did I go so wrong with S? Damn.
 Is Netflix for real or is it just hot air?

 I think YOKU is going down. Its up 30% already.

 i completely forgot about this thread. but anyway here is my portfolio update
