Got it at $8.62 a share. Took a loss of a couple hundred bucks on first day. Hoping for something to happen this year.
Bought 600 shares of Zynga at 9am this morning

In my very humble view you might consider being careful with ZNGA. If it is red again this week that will be nine consecutive down weeks with four of those showing volume increasing from the prior week. they have this pup under substantial distribution.
Furthermore, it did form a base after it went public and it did break out of that base. the base was not properly constructed and ultimately the breakout failed. you can see back in early February it popped from 10 to about 13, then 14, and ultimately almost 16 and volume did pick up (a very good sign). but it didn't hold and when it broke through the 50 DMA in early April it basically went straight down from there.
in other words, it already tried to make a run and it failed. the odds are institutions have left the stock after the failed breakout and the prudent approach is to just simply watch and see if it forms a proper base. plus the market is in a formal correction so longs only have a 25% chance of success anyways. (see W. O'Neill "How to Make Money in Stocks" for proper basing formations).
but, there's always the chance of some sort of hyped up news event.

Down almost 8% today on the heaviest volume since February. Barely holding $6/share. Most institutions are banned via their charters from buying shares that trade below $10/share. Generally these types do not provide enough liquidity for large investors. Sure there could be some type of home run news release but there also is no law that says this thing has to stay above 6 . . . . or 5 . . . . . or 4.

the headlines don't mean squat. 9/10 times the charts tell you what headlines will come out in the future. they sent the signal on ZNGA back in early April. down below $5/share yesterday on the highest volume ever traded in the stock. Yikes! apparently there was some bad "news" but he chart action already told you that was bound to happen.
I would have shorted this pig around $8 but I don't like the extra risk with these smaller, hyped up names. the boys could jam this one 25% higher in a day or two if they see too many shorts piling on so too risky for me. kudos if you shorted this one around $12 when it couldn't get back above that 50 DMA.

had it's little run since my last post (probably a short squeeze) but right back down again. new closing low this week after another four straight down weeks two of which showing increased volume from the prior week (i.e. distribution). i only bring it up because this is a great example of how the chart tells you damn near everything. they can hype this turd until the cows come home and it will never carry more weight than the price/volume action. went as low as 4.45/share this past week.

Zynga looks like an easy buy...stay away from all that riff raff...GSVC is perfect example of how all those sites can get crushed in a blink of an eye...too unpredictable. Your better off trading binary options on facebook in the meantime. After facebooks IPO thats all ive been doing. Instead of buying the asset you just invest on it going up or down by the end of the day...A lot of the binary option sites are oversees. Im trading on optionmint.com. If you talk about it let me know.. we can help each other with a referral bonus.

Still think technical analysis and charts are all mumbo jumbo?
ZNGA down to around $3.30/share after reporting "earnings". the chart was telling you this all along when that breakout failed and it went damn near straight down every week after it fell through its 50 DMA (which was back in April fyi). But, but, but . . . the "experts" kept saying it was "so cheap" and a good "long term buy".
