The 12 Step Stock Trading Program ~ Alcoa Inc. (Public, NYSE:AA)


Hi. My name is BOTD. I own $AA. I've been long for two days, one of which was a non-trading day. i am powerless over my addiction.

Step #1 ... BUY $AA

Step #2 ... set STOP slightly below cost
(a few pennies below 'entry bar' low)

Step #3 ... WAIT for "squiggle breakout"

Step #4 ... ADD to position on B/O strength

Step #5 ... set LIMIT SELL for 1/2 position at $14.98
(slightly below round #)

Step #6 ... TAKE 1/2 OFF, MUST LOCK IN PROFITS!

Step #7 ... WATCH reaction to $15.00 level

Step #8 ... ADD "puts of protection" if stock pulls back.

Step #9 ... take PROFITS on PUTS

Step #10 ... HOLD remaining common shares for TARGET #2

Step #11 ... WAIT, the "do nothing" strategy.

Step #12 ... SELL! ... take final PROFITS at TARGET #2.

Penny Stock Pimpin' ~ Sunovia Energy Technologies Inc (Public, OTC:SUNV)


the penny stock "friend" RECO

BUY SUNV!!

... this entire post means nothing.


The green arrows and links to 'press releases' are my way of making random bullish excuses to convince myself this isn't some crap penny stock. i have no real faith in this play, just throwing a few grand at it on a "friend" RECO.

Strategy = buy and wait










aka Sunovia Solar, Inc
aka EvoLucia, Inc

1. LED Lighting
2. Infrared
3. Solar

.... a "real" company ?


> On Feb 25th EvoLucia, Inc hired lighting industry expert Kevin "King" Arthur as VP previous head of sales for Cooper Industries.

the DEAD & BLOATED Rally ~ Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd. (ADR) (Public, NYSE:STP)


... smellin' like a rose? hmmm, not so much.

The SOLAR sector has some of the most bearish looking charts out right now and like they always say, ...

... "Don't try to catch a falling solar panel!"

... but the new 52 week low under $100 reversal in First Solar (FSLR) triggered a buy SOLAR signal. With recent defeats in CSIQ and SPWRA, i went for a low risk swing trade in Suntech Power (STP) common. the chart shows a potential iH&S and $1.50+ range box. LONG STP.

LONGS: NTAP, ARUN, AMZN 120 CALLS, HK, and STP. ... please note the TECH slant, "if" the market does rally we want to be long of the TECH.

"I run through the world thinkin' 'bout tomorrow."
