- scottrades: Hey Good morning Team! I know Dan has a list of Stocks he's watching at the open, but wanted to share my list as well. These are stocks that have small bases within an existing uptrend. $DDOG $DOCU $LK $FVRR $WORK $HMI $BCEL $OMI $PRAA $BTAI See you in the webinar!
- traderbren: @scottrades $DDOG $DOCU $LK $FVRR $WORK $HMI $BCEL $OMI $PRAA $BTAI - thanks Data Dog! I'm back behind the screen today after checking in on my mom in beautiful Cape Town. Nice to know, not one person was wearing a face mask on the flight home to NY. Apart from checking Dan's morning missive, I was generally out of it, but did cherry pick a couple of things on Friday morning figuring the rubber band was getting stretched for a bounce. Looking forward to making some dough!
- janner0814: Up AH: $ANR $ATVI $CRTO (fading) $ENPH $JAZZ (fading) $WPX Down AH: $CHUY $FSLR $FUEL $GMED $GRPN $PRAA $TWX BTW: $Z shook out many of the weak owners in the AH (some selling out as low as $133.75). Currently it's at $142.50. Regarding Earnings, estimated loss $0.231; vs. actual (beat) losing $0.05. NP in any
- jbuc5222: $PRAA - thoughts from the team on this one; at the 200dma and 10dma is starting to move up. Looks like most of the selling is done. Am fighting one of my demons... I recognize there are easier trades but this looks tempting.
- cats1017: $PRAA - this is a fundamental favorite of mine (trying to avoid confirmation bias...) It looks to me like it's riding along the lower end of a declining channel, with a pause at the 200dma. If it continues lower, I'm looking for support at 47.50 which coincides with summer low and a retracement level. I think a move above the lower highs trend line started in October would put 62-63 in play.

- Henry4432: $PRAA - Taking a small position on this collection agency for a short term trade. http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=PRAA&p=D&yr=0&mn=6&dy=0&id=p03646261390
- jojo1480: $PRAA TIBX MAPP- a couple of stock to keep an eye on. $PRAA heavily shorted stock, bears might start to lean on this after a big run up. MAPP rounding bottom pattern, looking for more upside as the 50/200dma starting to turn up. $TIBX BBand expansion continues, moving averages are turning up as well. No position in any.
- starboard tack: $PRAA @jojo1480.. I've been watching in amazement. Approaching multi-year high, and maybe getting rejected? Edited on Jun 29, 2012 14:12 Edited on Jun 29, 2012 14:12
- starboard tack: $PRAA @jojo1480.. I think I'm gonna wait for a pullback to trade from a long side - it is tempting though..
- starboard tack: $PRAA @jojo1480.. Great!
- iron: $PRAA @jojo still holding? Looks like the shorts are getting sqeezed.
- iron: $PRAA me too, also reduced my number of positions thanks for all you do in the forum
- jojo1480: $PRAA MDRX- a couple of earning today ahs. $MDRX, have sold most of my stock, and replaced them with Mar 21calls ( couple of wks ago), if the earnings mimics $CERN, $MDRX should have a very nice %move tomorrow. An interesting play is $PRAA, thinly traded (no #options please), this stock use to trade in the 90s price, now @70. This company has beaten/exceeded analyst expectations repeatedly. The company acquire a similar UK company, per $PRAA should be accretive, for what ever reason there is still a 13% short position, trading volume is less than 100K/day. Am holding $MDRX stock & #options, and $PRAA (crap shoot) into earnings, and long CERN
- jojo1480: $PRAA LNWW- $PRAA another stock with a huge short position is starting to work, this company makes money and it is very cheap fundamentally, #options are illiquid. LLNW- nominal cheap stock $3.74 coming out of a VSqueeze, Long $PRAA and LLNW
- iron: $PRAA jojo1480 I followed with some illquid JUNE 75C BID.40 ASK 5 enjoying the risk may you have continued success
- jojo1480: ZEUS- ~10% is the short amount of the float, stock is up 6% on 31K shares. No breaks for the shorts. Ditto $PRAA short position +20%.
- jojo1480: MDRX- this slow mover is finally popping above the upper BBand, adding to position. $QSII continues upward march, adding to position. $FLR got a 20% haircut. $WPRT down 3pts added to my starter position (small addition). $ZEUS still undergoing BBand expansion, 30% haircut, ditto PKG. $PRAA adding to position, raising cash, and reducing risk.
- jojo1480: PAY- just added to my longer term hold. Looks like all my crappy "dogs of 2011" stocks are making headway today, ie $MAKO DK $SNCR HLF $PAY LNF $PRAA PVH, am long all of them and they are the only ones green today. Have about 20 more in the red. Even my $NFLX Feb95puts are red today, this is an earning play (that they disappoint).
- jojo1480: CTXS- buying back the 20% i sold yesterday. $PRAA adding to position.
- jojo1480: FIO- tnt, if $MAKO turns green, it should make another run on the shorts. Long $FIO MAKO, $PRAA (not behaving today)
- jojo1480: $GS #options- closing out 2/3 of position in the Jan90calls. selling a few $SNDK Jan21P47s collecting a little premium. $PRAA FIO MAKO- a few stocks with very high short interest. Position long all of them, and a few short calls.

$BJR ... - jojo1480: DMND- @Maggie11, just looking @daily charts of all stocks with high short interest ie $PRAA NFLX $FSLR etc, looking for some clue on Stochastics and RSI. $DMND was luck it coupled with Keybank news re accounting issue. I loosened the stop quite a bit due to the news, am considering to hedging the position with puts.
- MultiMill: $PRAA - @jojo - am I correct in assuming you are going $LONG PRAA because there is a huge short position? I'm trying to determine if I read your post correctly.
- Maggie11: $PRAA just wondering why #shorting it?

jojo1480: ...
Spec stocks $DK performance YTD 108%. $PRAA like the chart set up, been mentioning this in the forum. $PRAA usually sells off in the morning (good time to add), and recovers eod. Short position in this stock is in excess of 20%, and fundamentally c ... - jojo1480: $PRAA MAKO- both these stocks have huge short positions, am long waiting for the short #squeeze.
- jojo1480: $PRAA MAKO- a couple of stock with very high short interest. $PRAA has made a very nice move since it hit the lower Bband, the bears drove this stock from 90.95 to 56.76, now trading @67.86. Main concern is volume relatively light. $MAKO of the 50dma seems to work most of the time, and $ISRG each time off the 200dma. Long $PRAA MAKO and ISRG. TIBX- this stock confounds me, have yet to pull the trigger ytd up 27.09%. On the wkly butting heads with the 50dma. The daily cleared the 50dma, and now hitting the 200dma, looking for a pullback to open a position.
- jojo1480: $PRAA MAKO- stocks with very high short interest spiking up nicely, Long.
- jojo1480: CACI- @dfaz, i sold this several days ago, you might want to take a look at $PRAA (i sold most of it his a.m, when it was up 2pts), bought some back @62.40.
- jojo1480: PCYC- adding to position, just because the charts look so pretty :o)). $PRAA, adding betting that the 20%shorts on the stock will get squeezed.
- jojo1480: PRAA- low volume stock, me think the short sellers are getting nervous, they had their run from 90.95 to 56.76. Long $PRAA, need more volume to show shorts are covering.
- jojo1480: $ASPS PRAA- jkricha, i was in $PRAA earlier this year (similar business model), $ASPS no analyst coverage on the stock, institutions reduce their holdings last quarter and a lot of insider selling. Stock is relative cheap based on the fwd looking earnings, chart is like a roller coaster ride. No position.
- tnt: $PRAA in the heat of a short #squeeze. Over 37 days of short covering. Trading above all the major moving averages and getting ready to retest June highs
- tnt: @Dan, Can you please cover $PRAA in the market recap?
- suzie76040: Good show @Dan! $PRAA has hit & surpassed it's alert from the short #squeeze list. I will buy it on pullback but probably not today as it is day 3 of it's move.
- suzie76040: Long both $AAPL & RIMM - very happy today. Did stop out of $AXE, but still very happy with that too. Didn't get filled on $PRAA, but feel there will be a chance next week on #options expiration week. May remount $AXE then too. Holding $TSO as it is a LT.
- suzie76040: Short #Squeeze: $PRAA 28-Jun-07 Jefferies & Co Upgrade Hold Buy 30-May-07 $JMP Securities Upgrade Mkt Outperform Strong Buy up $1.58 today.
- suzie76040: @aptgods: look at the chart again and try to base an entry on the BB's/support & resistance. If a stock runs away from you, I take the attitude that it wasn't meant to be. I am going to trade $PRAA for a short #squeeze. Patiently waiting for a setup.
