  • bRobert: @Kimberley $OSUR $PRTS You need to advertise more ;)
  • greenpatrol: $OSUR just triggered an inside week and up at 11.59
  • olveoyl: $OSUR one to research and watch
  • shoredriver: @olveoyl $OSUR ...Why???
  • woodman: $OSUR - yikes. I used to like this one.
  • traderbren: @Woodman -- hey, just noticed $OSUR is creeping back above the 50dma. NP as yet. ER on 11/1
  • woodman: @traderbren $OSUR - it's not quite above the 50d yet, as far as I can tell. I've been wondering if it would rollover here or make the full comeback. No position anymore but of course remain interested.
  • woodman: $OSUR - collapse. I sold half yesterday. Stopped out on rest this a.m. on gap down (leaving me with 3 marker shares). Sad ... I liked this one.
  • ATX17: @woodman $OSUR Me too, the trend was intact until it was not...watching to see if this will be a pull back to bounce...may have broke through too much support to lift it's head back up. Good fundamentals.
  • ATX17: @ATX17 $OSUR Hope doesn't make money
  • woodman: $OSUR - uh oh.
  • traderbren: @woodman $OSUR - checking the other side of the 50dma.
  • issues: @traderbren $OSUR looks like the start of a perfect h & s mountain.
  • woodman: @issues $OSUR I thinned my position and will look to buy them back.
  • Sluggo: $ALRM $RTN $MZOR $SQ $HON $CBOE $OSUR $PYPL $V $AMAT These are the 10 stocks I currently hold and have held for a while. They are all extended at the current time, but some like $AMAT are close to a buy point. I do have another job, so I am late in reporting these. I apologize for that, but will try to let you guys know sooner when they hit their breakout buy points. Just put them on a watch list for now with a better entry alert notated.
  • DAN: @Sluggo $ALRM $RTN $MZOR $SQ $HON $CBOE $OSUR $PYPL $V $AMAT Sluggo, thanks for posting that list of holdings. Those are all really great stocks with super chart patterns -- higher highs and lows...and close to or at new highs. Awesome job!!!
  • Sluggo: @DAN $ALRM $RTN $MZOR $SQ $HON $CBOE $OSUR $PYPL $V $AMAT Thanks, Dan...I owe it all to you and making a lot of my own mistakes over the years. I probably had every stock service (wont name them) that didn't do diddly for me since 2000. It's the old adage about giving a man a fish and teaching him how to fish. Kudos back at ya!
  • DAN: @Sluggo $ALRM $RTN $MZOR $SQ $HON $CBOE $OSUR $PYPL $V $AMAT Thanks for telling me that, Sluggo. Makes me feel really good about the work that I (and we) do here. Funny -- I was just talking to someone last night about what I do and I said that it really is a grind. Every day focusing on the market unless "life" gets in the way -- as it has a lot this year. We were chatting about how long I planned to keep doing it, and I said that, every once in a while, I'll hear from someone who tells me that I've really changed their trading behavior and results for the better. And that's what keeps me getting up before 5 am each morning. So thanks for being that guy today. Needed to hear it...and congratulations for learning a little something about fishing! $$$ DAN
  • Sluggo: @DAN $ALRM $RTN $MZOR $SQ $HON $CBOE $OSUR $PYPL $V $AMAT My pleasure, Dan. You are doing a great service for us all and I hope you continue doing what you are doing. As I said, I am not speaking out of my hat (whatever that means). I have used a ton of reputable services over the years and you are the best. Don't leave us! You and Aragorn, Bridget, Woodman and the rest are needed for all of us to learn and know there is someone else who is trading and helping. As you have said, trading is a lonely business.
  • woodman: @Sluggo $ALRM $RTN $MZOR $SQ $HON $CBOE $OSUR $PYPL $V $AMAT - it takes a while. I've learned from all of those you've mentioned.
  • woodman: $OSUR - new high.
  • traderbren: @woodman $OSUR - I missed this move Woodman, although I did buy in to the thesis some 10+ years ago but this is the move I was hoping for at the time. C'est la vie.
  • woodman: @traderbren $OSUR - That would have been a long time to wait. :-)
  • Sluggo: $RTN $HON $V $PYPL $CBOE $SEDG $SQ $DXC $ALRM $MZOR $AMAT $OSUR Does anyone see a chink in my armour regarding these 12 stocks that I have been holding? I would love to see input on these. Would love your critic.
  • issues: @PRK $QGEN I like this one (med products - IBD grp 21 along with $ALGN $OSUR $ABMD $EW. Although its not rated well (composite 74) its a B in accumulation. I would like to get a starter in it tomorrow.
  • woodman: $OSUR - hanging in well. Gentle roll into the 21dEMA with a bounce.
  • bRobert: @woodman $OSUR Nice & easy holding stock.
  • woodman: $OSUR continuing to extend out of consolidation / squeeze.
  • issues: Today was a buy day for me. Bought the following partial positions: $OSUR $BRKS $EW $AA $SQ $EXTR $VEEV. Sold short $EFX and holding. It's going to the bottom. Buy stop is a trailing stop at 3% ($114).
  • woodman: $OSUR moving up through resistance and the top BB.
  • bRobert: $isrg $algn $osur. $mzor Nh first 3. mzor starter position. Will add after confirm resumption breakout
  • mharps: $OSUR looks ready trying for Oct 20's
  • efrain007: $OSUR trying to move out of squeeze
  • bRobert: @efrain007 $OSUR Nice holding stock. Long leap calls
  • efrain007: @bRobert $OSUR Don't know much about options, but I'd like to buy some if it can close over upper bb.
  • optionswealth: @efrain007 $OSUR It is so far above the 200sma that even with this chart, I would think that it can't break out far. If you want to know about options check out the CBOE and there are even videos on you tube for beginning options for a start so that you know if they are for you.
  • efrain007: @optionswealth $OSUR Thanks for the info with options. Good point on the 200d I hadn't thought of that. My plan was to ride it out of a VS, I guess we'll see how much that 200d is going to matter if it pops out of the squeeze.
  • bRobert: $OSUR Squeeze/sideways consolidation
  • issues: @Bridget $TCMD #ipo Thanks Bridget. TCMD is in an excellent group - medical products - IBD group 15. Others in the group include $ALGN $OSUR $ABMD $EW. Will check it out. NP yet. We do own ABMD and EW. $TCMD is in a high base that looks like $OSUR, don't ya thunk?
  • Bridget: @issues $TCMD $ALGN $OSUR $ABMD $EW #ipo It is in consolidation just below all time highs.
  • bRobert: $OSUR .$LNTH . $ISRG . $SYK . $EXAS . $EW Quality medical at support . Ew . Game changing valve replacement technology. Holding stock. Sideways consolidation. Stop 112.40 for new entry. OSUR . Raised stops on partial position. Long hold
  • woodman: @tjv821 $esio - just getting back in the saddle after a family vacation and attending to work projects. I did hold $ESIO through earnings, as well as $OSUR and $SEDG, all of which popped significantly upon reporting earnings. But I had others that dove while I was away. The market giveth and it taketh away.
  • woodman: @tjv821 $ESIO - just getting back in the saddle after a family vacation and attending to work projects, so just now seeing your post from last week. I did hold $ESIO through earnings, as well as $OSUR and $SEDG, all of which popped significantly upon reporting earnings. But I had others that dove while I was away. The market giveth and it taketh away.
  • bRobert: $BEAT $CUTR $ALGN $PODD $OSUR $EW $GLYC $EXAS Medical equipment perky. Glyc EXAS squeeze. EW long sideways consolidation
  • debeers: @bRobert $BEAT $CUTR $ALGN $PODD $OSUR $EW $GLYC $EXAS --$EXAS doing the Cannacord conference tomorrow.
  • bRobert: $OSUR $ALGN $LNTH Perky holding stocks. Medical equipment and related catching a bid
  • spmeyers: @bRobert $OSUR $ALGN $LNTH LNTH is a good short setup
  • bRobert: @spmeyers $OSUR $ALGN $LNTH LNTH Not sure I agree. Certainly had no issue breaking back above the 50d. There is perhaps some overhead resistance but from a long term view (weekly), nothing wrong here.
  • spmeyers: @bRobert $OSUR $ALGN $LNTH I mean for a short-term trade; I agree long-term it looks fine
  • debeers: @bRobert $OSUR $ALGN $LNTH --$OSUR-chew 'em up and spit 'em out! Good on you!!
  • TRICIA: $OSUR . OraSure posts 2Q profit https://finance.yahoo.com/news/orasure-announces-2017-second-quarter-200000022.html --- DX HEPC oral dx test .... adding OraQuik for HIV dx test ... this just gets stronger
  • bRobert: $OSUR $CORT $LL $NUS Osur pop on earnings. CORT pop yest on earnings. Large short interest LL short squeeze day 3 NUS large short interest. volatile after earnings. Watching as trade to add if holds 50d
  • ROSEY: @TRICIA $OSUR THANKS
  • woodman: $OSUR not stopping.
  • woodman: $OSUR $EXAS both working, though EXAS is nearing some recent high territory.
  • woodman: $OSUR moving.
  • Bridget: Notes: $XRT getting crushed. $M $LB $COST $WMT $FIVE $KSS Breakouts that are working: $BZUN, $DLPH, $DHI $FIZZ $CX $OSUR New Breakouts: $PYPL $ATHM $KRO $EWW $CF $BWA $MOMO $EDU $TAL $JD - nice bounce off the 50dma $LMT $NOC $RTN - still working $VALE - moving higher, ER on 7/27 $PKG - nice bullish engulfing candle after flag $MRAM - #ipo new high on volume
  • bRobert: $OSUR $CLVS $ESPR $CELG $BEAT $ALGN $MDT $EW $BSX $ISRG $EXAS $MASI osur clvs espr celg beat Many flags/pennants waving. Watching Medical equipment perky. Will add to some longs.
  • debeers: @bRobert $OSUR $CLVS $ESPR $CELG $BEAT $ALGN $MDT $EW $BSX $ISRG $EXAS $MASI ====$EXAS for me, you can have the others because the UNH endorsement will make them make their numbers even without the other endorsements from the other HMO's.
  • bRobert: @debeers $OSUR $CLVS $ESPR $CELG $BEAT $ALGN $MDT $EW $BSX $ISRG $EXAS $MASI Agree about EXAS potential growth and future potential applications of the technogy to other cancers eg pancreatic EW MDT are slow steady growers with important proprietary technology that saves considerable amount of money to healthcare system. EW's TAVR procedure replaces a sternotomy (cracked chest, invasive for open heart valve replacement). And the patients have fewer complications. Indications expanding. ALGN has phenomenal growth and is expanding worldwide. Great weekly chart.
  • woodman: $OSUR still strong.
  • bRobert: $OSUR $LNTH $BSX OSUR watching for phase 3 . LNTH breakout BSX squeezing
  • woodman: $OSUR - another of my med instruments-supplies stocks. I decided to be parachute out of this trade.
  • tjv821: Anyone else having issues w chart of the day $osur and trading at noon video?? Can get these two to work I can get the strategy session to work but not the other two videos
  • pookie: @tjv821 $osur no problems here
  • bnnybklyn: @pookie $osur just watched chart of day 30 mins ago
  • Vehid: $OSUR Since the market looks weak in general and volume is diminishing for this, does it make any sense to buy July in money puts for this? Thank! #newbie (I guess newbie should not get close to options anyway but no damage in watching!)
  • phgruver: @Vehid $OSUR #newbie That would be gambling. That's OK, if you want to gamble, but acknowledge, to yourself, what you are doing.
  • Mpower27: @tjv821 $osur I can't see either. Both have the play button with a line through it. The strategy session is fine however. Using an iPhone.
  • Vehid: @phgruver $OSUR #newbie no, do not want to gamble. Just taught maybe that is a trading method. I have seen so many times that after the first hour, extended stocks starts sliding down. Thank you for your comment
  • phgruver: @Vehid $OSUR #newbie I've been looking at this issue in a couple of different time frames, and checking the news flow. This is not a stock I'd want to be shorting. They are up quite a bit in 2 days, but their overall chart is very strong. If the market wasn't so "iffy" right now, I'd recommend buying on pullbacks.
  • Vehid: @phgruver $OSUR #newbie I was also looking to buy puts on CBI in the morning too. The price was $22.82 and puts of $22.5 was 0.69. Now, the price is $20.21 and the same puts is $2.25. Just two contracts would have made me happy :) Anyway, as others also warned, this is gambling not trading. The same trade on $OSUR would lose money. I guess the difference is that $OSUR is on a strong uptrend but $CBI is in the losers box as #Dan calls it. What I am going to do is to watch put options on two gapped up stocks everyday around 10:00 eastern time. One should be on uptrend and the other one in downtrend. Going to monitor their puts and see how much each make or lose.
  • woodman: $OSUR!
  • DrScience: @woodman $OSUR With a little help from their friends, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation!
  • woodman: @DrScience $OSUR - Ahhh, thanks, I didn't know. Bill was supposed to give me a heads up before the foundation inked any deals. Luckily, I didn't wait and I bought this on Thursday. Better to be lucky than good. :-)
  • Bridget: Notes: Stocks I mentioned yesterday that were "toppy", fell below support today. $TSM $AMAT $LRCX $SWKS $MCHP FAANG - not looking good since $XLK is rolling over $AMTD - great performing bank stock $AXP - working $YRD - Vol Squeeze up $OSUR - breakout $FSLR - holding up well $SBAC $AMT $CCI - up on $CHTR deal $PLYA - #ipo new high $STX - breaking out to the downside $PYPL - double top $TXN - breaking down $IRBT - shot across the bow $KHC falling below 200MA $GE - almost at 52 week low Dumpster Diving $CBL $AFSI - coming off the bottom
  • woodman: @captron $OLLI $BEAT $BSX - I also had little to cheer about today. $BEAT $OSUR $AMTD was about it.
  • captron: @woodman $OLLI $BEAT $BSX $OSUR $AMTD Tomorrow is another day. Wonder what sector will loose the coin tossed and be sold.As Dan says, that's trading.
  • woodman: @captron $OLLI $BEAT $BSX $OSUR $AMTD - Coin toss, you're so right! Or musical chairs, Hot Potato .... :-)
  • woodman: $OSUR sideways consolidation toward the 50 day within a nice uptrend.
  • woodman: $OSUR - here's one I should never have sold.
  • infocus: $NE $OSUR Out of 2 more stocks today with very small losses. Account left with only 2 positions, both near breakeven. Risk management, likely for the rest of the month. It IS October. Only down about 2% from account high for the year. That's enough!
  • woodman: $OSUR seems like it's in a good place to buy. Low risk, anyway. Popped above the 8dEMA and now hitting up against the 21dEMA. Getting through that would be a good sign.
  • infocus: @woodman $OSUR - Thanks for the idea. Took a nibble @ 8.06 just to get it on the screen. Watching...
  • woodman: $OSUR might be ripe here.
  • woodman: @champ $XON $INO #Zika Interesting. My $OSUR turned around. Still down today but a hammer. $CERS, which I never bought, has a fairly long tail too.
  • woodman: @champ $XON $INO #Zika I took a flier on $CERS to go with my $OSUR.
  • champ: @woodman $XON $INO $CERS $OSUR #Zika -- Good Luck!
  • woodman: @woodman $XON $INO $CERS $OSUR #Zika Same to you and thanks for your post!!
  • woodman: @champ $XON $INO - I'm in $CERS (low risk buy today) and $OSUR for Zika. Good luck to us both!
  • champ: @woodman $XON $INO $CERS $OSUR - They all should work ...whenever they pass the funding bill...Good Luck to You!
  • gwenzee: @woodman @champ $XON $INO $CERS $OSUR I have a question. Isn't there an "emergency" acct. someplace that would fund this type of situation so that asking for the passage of a funding bill wouldn't be necessary. It seems to me the only thing that they want is to further pad another government agency. Would love to hear you comments.
  • champ: @woodman @TunaHelper @ rck89 $XON $INO $CERS $OSUR - I took a look at this stock $OSUR and I just don't know about this stock for a Zika trade....maybe the two words that you used... is right on up until now ....has been....I don't really know. Howev ...
  • rck89: @champ $XON $INO $CERS $OSUR #1 #2 #3 #4 Mmm? Doubtless we all now, the Zika funding bill failed in Congress. But $OSUR is up a tad. Good sign for the stock?
  • champ: @rck89 $XON $INO $CERS $OSUR #1 #2 #3 #4 - It was all over the News this morning in the pre-market....they are working on the wording and the repbulican want to drag the funds from other health funds...they are saying that their is a lot of Ebola money just sitting their not being used and all of this will be worked out ....but thats the whole point for me... because it will pass ....went our really smart leaders in DC stop all the BS and get to work. I'm not going to be the one of the ones hat says I missed this trade. This stock is loaded and ready for a big bounce.... is my guess.
  • woodman: @TunaHelper @champ $XON $INO $CERS - The Zika-related stock to be in has been $OSUR
