STEC: A Possible Rebound?

Posted by Satuki On October - 3 - 2009

STEC has dropped from around 42 to 26 within just 2 weeks.  There are different kinds of rumors floating around about the steep and fast drop. One is that there is increased competition from other solid state driver makers such as Pliant Technology.

 

I believe that was just a trigger to the crash since STEC moved up too fast and there were a lot of profitable positions ready to be dumped at any moment.  But the drop is a bit exaggerated.  This is trading.  Fear and greed is everywhere.  Due to this type of market exaggerations, there exist money making opportunities. We, as short term speculators, are like vultures that fly wherever there is a possible meal.  I really like the vulture analogy when it comes to shorting.   It is a win-win scenario where you get a nice meal and clean up the environment at the same time.

 

I believe we might see a bounce very soon in STEC.   Will it make a new high?  I neither know nor care.  What I care is if it can have a quick bounce of 20% from here.  Technically speaking, STEC is still in its uptrend.  And theoretically, every dip of an up trending stock is a good opportunity to buy.  In addition, the little green bar on the daily chart looks like a bullish morning star to me.

  • Hi,

    What are the trade triggers you look for before going long or short ?
  • volume, trend and candle stick patterns.

    I like the "10 o'clock bulls" concept because most of the day's movements are traced to the first half hour of the day. This 10 o'clock concept builds on that and then furnishes several ways to profit by that 1/2 hour. I downloaded it two years ago and have gone back to it repeatedly. As with good ideas, each time I go back I seem to get something more.
    They also sell a list of stocks generated by their system. I've never subscribed, probably never will but I still get solicitations from them.
    It is important to remember this isn't the Holy Grail. It is another tool to put in the arsenal (did I mix my metaphors?)

    Bill, if you dont mind, I would also like to thank you for this link.

    I cannot find the specific article you are mentioning though but it sounds like my current style of trading.

    I hadn't heard from you for a while. Nice to see you back.
    Suggest you look at a website www.marketguage.com. As you look through this site, look for info on "Trading the 10 o'clock bulls" I made a hard copy of this 40 page book and heartily recommend looking at it.

    I've noticed that after Thursday's fall, some sectors actually perked up on Friday as others (health care providers) still stayed with the downtrend.

    I was hoping for a Health Services rebound on Monday morning. I just want to collect mine and get out for the week.
