Now look at Tell Labs (TLAB). See the break out, see that support is just over $9 (on a weekly chart). If it corrects, the 10% down is the extent of the damage before you would know you needed to get out. I am thinking about this one. Worden liked it Friday.
 
You guys seem to like BRLI. It has a good looking monthly chart that shows the breakout over $3.00 was the perfect time to buy. The weekly chart show it bouncing off its 20 period MA, with the support line just UNDER $12. The daily chart shows HUGE sell off days suggesting a TOP. Support is still down around $12. If we all agree to buy in, I would say we must be prepared to ride out a correction to the $12 area. If it fails to get support down there, we will have a 30% loss before we trow in the towel.

SGI got up to 2.28 and closed at 2.16 in afterhours trading. BRLI got up to 16 and closed at 15.99. This looks good for tomorrow. Does anyone else ever look at before and after hours trading? I agree, it looks to me like BRLI is making a cup. Shouln't you buy now? What to do Bert? Are we right?
 
See my post on 12/14/03 - this is where SGI came from. AND worden brothers had a recent note on it. As far as oil and energy goes - I think the sectors will help determine if this is a good year or not. BRLI looks like a cup starting to form a handle, but you want to buy right before the hande? I think it might be a buy soon.

I bought BRLI Mon. It went up but then in the afterhours trading it was being sold. Also this AM before the mkt opened. So I put in my sell too. And it was right because it did go down but I made about $160 on what became a day trade. This is a stock you have to watch like a hawk.
My one I was bragging about PTR fell out of bed. In three days it was down 20 points. I was looking at it the other day when it hit 63 and I could actually hear Bert over my shoulder saying, "at least sell half". But I didn't. The stops helped some and it bounced quickly back for 10 of the points. I looked back and 18 months ago I owned it at 18 or something. I just can't see anything but good in the fundamentals for an oil company in China. Am I blind? Strange, it really didn't do anything until 03. Why then? It is absolutely inscrutable! As to SGI I think I am losing my mind. I don't remember AT ALL telling Bert to buy it. Am I going crazy or what?
 
BRLI looks like a possible variation of a H&S pattern on the daily chart but the weekly chart looks better. On one hand, the time-segmented volume is improving but the moneystream needs to be a little better. One thing I did notice is that it has corrected back to the industry comparison which indicates that I would call it a buy around that line, i.e. price of 13.1 or so. Using PW's chart template the MS has bottomed and the TSV needs to cross over into positive territory.

I really like ITXC's chart. Looks like a nice consolidation pattern is formed. I have a few shares of it. SDI (i mean SGI) I am watching and also has a nice chart too!

I have also been watching AMAT which worden highlighted, but the chart is not as impressive.

O.K. here I go, I bought into SGI after Tom's comments and a study of its chart. Today it followed through on yesterdays breakout. It was spoken rather well of by the Worden brothers yesterday. Looks very good. I am also into ITXC. Currently selling around $5.00, you may find it worth your consideration. Tom has been asking about BRLI. It looks only fair on a daily chart because of the vastly negative Money Stream. However, looking on a weekly chart one sees a pull back to the pivot point of a very significant breakout. The problem is the Money Stream. Andy, take a look and tell me what you see using DW's favorite settings.

O.K., I upgraded your stautus. You now have Aministrator priveledges. What do you plan to do with them? I have done very little of late with buy-sell. Just a very small position in SIRI using some of the residual dividend cash laying around in Marshall's small account. I'll let you guys know when I make a significant move.
 
Good question. Hey Bert, can Tom and myself get administrator privledges?
Market good again today!!!!!!!!!! Yippeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!
