I really hope someone played SolarCity when I was mentioning it near 55 because I didn't 
ACHN worth an eye for 3 break... thinking this is more of a swing trade. Use dips as long opportunity
FU want to be a part of the 7 breakout... maybe a swing also. This stock can make huge moves.. former runner (see September)

I bought it at $32 in August and sold it at a loss when it kept sliding. Never got back in :x :x :x

Anyone in commodities? I remember an NT'er trying to put us on a while back when Silver was under $20, shaking my head for not getting it then, but it's barely over $20 right now, so I might jump in...

Just saw the news on BBRY :x I wonder how much longer until they liquidate all of their assets
I don't invest directly into commodities, but miners & ETFs. The general consensus is that it's still on a bearish trend dating back to 2011, but here's the chart that you or someone else might be better able to interpret:

It'd be interested to hear how all of you are investing for your retirement. What's your asset allocation like? Are you as risky as you are with your day trading?
On a separate note, any advice on where/how to invest a few thousands to grow a future (3-5 years from now) down payment on a house?

3d Systems DDD has been on a run man, glad I finally decided to trade this one.
KORS with the move upward today, didn't play it though.

Anyone playing $TSLA earnings? I'm thinking about buying a weekly call option.

Rip roaring in Pandora today :x
I was short for a little while, but the trade wasn't working so I got out about flattish.
As for playing TSLA today - risk is to the downside, IMO. That being said, I would never short these cult stocks. It's just too dangerous.

TSLA -10% AH
Buying op tomorrow?
I swear these stocks always drop in the double digit percentages, then recover the same day and go +20% in the next week

Could very well be. People love this stock, and the more Musk talks it down, the more people want to buy it

My cousin's been sick about getting out at 4 and change. Nothing wrong about booking profits, especially with a stock like oxbt.FilthyOBXT

^ "No one goes broke taking profits"
A trader in the IU chat room had 175k shares OXBT 1.50s average. He took his profits near 2.50. Don't feel too bad
Over the last week or so I learned an important lesson.
"Be like water"
Sometimes I get too biased on a stock and don't play the opposite direction. OXBT is the perfect example. This morning I shorted 1/4 position near 6 once I saw the lower high put in at 6.07. The stock moved against me and I took it off for a small loss. I did not go long at this point even though my analysis supported a long position once the lower high was taken out. Last week I was able to flip positions on ACAD in a similar situation; the short wasn't working so I took a long for a solid gain. Moral of the story, TRUST YOUR EDGE!

Wizard im assuming your talking about Modern Rock? You are correct about taking profits. I guess I'm so hard on myself ,because I want to be a successful day trader (just started a few weeks ago). I must remember that patience is key and that greatness will come with time. BTW i appreciate your blog, I hope to get into the IU chatroom soon, i really enjoyed Nate's dvd.

This is looking like it may be one of the best shorting opportunities in a long time based on valuation. I need to do some homework on the earnings report though to confirm.

Best way to play TSLA right now is to go with the least expected outcome.
It's a tough call since revenue was strong at $600m. If revenue came up short I'd be more inclined to short. The people moving this stock have shown so far that they don't really care about earnings.
