I am going to delete that post, it skewed the thread..try it again.
As for NANO stocks, I think most here are looking for the smaller play that could be a revolutionary stock and a large return. DOW on the other hand probably pays more for exec perks than most of these NANO stocks are worth in market cap..

Yeah, I saw the vicious spike.
Must've been a rumor of their number to cause a short squeeze.
A lot of lies and rumors will be rampant on this one from now through tomorrow.
It'd be a great trading vehicle if you could start the rumors, but being on the other side of a vicious move is scary.

It'll bounce between 118ish and 108ish.
Moves will be severe.
It will get crushed with anything less than BLOWOUT and 100% positive for the future.
But if the rumors are right, and this one answers the call tomorrow PM, then anyone holding it short is dead meat.
Glad I'm not a trader....all I can say.

Unreal.
Why I can't trade.....the degree of fear and greed astounds me to no end.......no way for me to predict just how far below the depths of stupidity that man will stoop.
I am not unhappy with FSLR's performance today......am long at 111, but today makes me wonder whether or not I can hold this crap for the long run when this shit happens.
GTLS is much more my style......does nothing.....boring.....but goes up over time.
How the fuck do you guys trade?

Sets a new high today at 120ish.
Off the high for the day, but a NH nonetheless.
This bothers me.
Too much "irrational exuberance." I'd have felt better for the long run today with negativity and people shorting it.
I may sell out of my entire position tomorrow AM.
Too many yahoos joined the bandwagon today, which makes me believe the market is going to teach them a stern and harsh lesson when earnings come out this time tomorrow.

Claycourt,
Yep..stocks setting new highs into earnings have the bar placed higher than ones going into earnings with skepticism.
You gotta ride that horse much like BIDU and RIMM etc..new highs are only scary if you think they arent going to destroy the numbers.
The more I see of FSLR the more I shake my head..their technology is behind the curve, they are benefiting from foreign subsidies and credits from European goverments which wont last forever..they arent trying to pursue better technology and that alone is a reason for me to shake my head at the stock.
The group had a good day today from what I saw and who knows how long it lasts but I think longer term the stock deserves to be back to the IPO price....

Yeah, WSC.
I am agreeing.
FSLR will one day get taken to the cleaners, and oh yes, the ones who can short it and deal with the intense pain that can arise will one day be laughing last.
Let's face it, though, the numbers tomorrow will blow the doors off the consensus. Now is that enough to keep it moving higher for the next year? I don't know.
What I do know is that the bar has definitely been raised higher after today.
I may sell off like 3/4 of my stake tomorrow and hope I'm jumping the gun by being worried. I hope I'm wrong and that it keeps climbing a wall of worry.
But after today's "STUPID" run-up, it is wisest to take money off the table, I believe.
Cheers

I dont know..
I had that theory back during the massive run in 1997-2002 and I would sell early only to see stocks keep going..this sector should stay hot for a long time out until/if oil comes down and the technology is no longer cost effective.
I can list quite a few stocks that were rockets and leaders that are out of business or less than 5 bucks..
MRVC
SUNW
WCOM
Thats a quick 3. I agree that the time table we do not know, the result we do know.
If I had ultra deep pockets I would go against them without a doubt. The options MMs are smart, they are not creating puts or calls out past 6 months because they dont want the liability of creating the market...pretty slimy..

One thing that is positive for the yahoos who were sucker-buying today....
Today was damn near a classic outside day. That is a very, very strong short-term technical indicator.
I'll watch tomorrow. And if there's a bunch of panic buying and covering right out of the gate in the first 2 hours, I'll bail out completely. If there is a gap-down open tomorrow (much better than 50/50 chance), and the price never reaches even during the day, I'll let it ride.....all of it.
In summary........fade tomorrow's action.

StarPharma would be the play then, and the fact that DOW is on board tends to lend weight to its chances. You would have to get it on the Aussie exchange however, but it is, as are most stocks in this price range, extremely speculative. But I think DOW is impressed with their prospects and from what I have read, they have some interesting patents and have passed some trials with their product. Due diligence needed of course.
