Yep, I missed DRYS. It was too far extended above the 50 day moving average when it was first brought to my attention (so I thought). I did make some good doe in the same sector on Navios Maritime (NM) and TBSI the latter of which I was stopped out of after a sharp one day drop from which it skyrocketed afterwards. I hate when that happens, but safety first.

Just curious, what's your 'watch list' look like????

Ahhh, no guts, no glory.

Actually, I play it very safe with fairly tight stops that I keep adjusting as needed and I keep a very, very close watch on things. That said, there were some days that made me cringe before I learned to use stops. Scottrade is cool.

I am watching EMC got out of it before earnings. It is so far above it's 30 day that I wanted to be safe in case they missed earnings.

NILE is looking tempting for a quick trade for earnings. I like them everytime they are on fastmoney.

DKS (dicks sporting goods) they are growing and getting established in new areas, they carry all the top sporting items like UA and nike. Plus on a personal note I have yet to meet a rude salesperson or find a dirty store.

Some of the others are ALGN, SFLY, UA and CRDN. I need to listen to SLB's conference call and see what happened to them they are looking tempting on the pull back if I find out why they got hammered on earnings. SOHU looks interesting but if you already have BIDU then neverming.

These are some of my watch list and I try to watch fastmoney each night for new stocks to do homework on. I tend to like P. Najarian's (sp?) picks.

What are you watching?

Oh yeah the obligatory statement that I know nothing about the stock market and these are not suggestions buying without doing your own homework is dumb. I am like you and have seen lots of good profit disappear in a trading day. It takes a while to get used to. If you are curious about some others I can post them or PM me.

AMZN Amazon.Com Inc 100.82 + 9.53 + 10% + 380% 95 99

EDU New Orientl Edu&Tech Ads 78.28 + 4.26 + 6% + 13% 97 98
EJ E-House Holdings Ltd Ads 27.00 + 0.05 0% + 24% 98 92
HMIN Home Inns & Htls Mgt Ads 45.71 + 2.32 + 5% + 96% 75 95

WCG Wellcare Health Plans 122.27 + 3.01 + 3% + 6% 97 94

I get my advice from Cabot Market Letter, Cabot's Top Ten, Cabot China & Emerging Markets, IBD and my own snooping. I also have Morningstar but find it way off base as a growth investor ( I got a lot of ground to make up from my divorce 13 yrs ago.)

Localangler, I remember looking at underarmor and Dicks but both were way to volatile for me. I like smooth classic bases with little volatility unless its up after I buy it

Craig,

I agree with you on chinese stocks. About half my watch list are chinese. Also my 401K is heavily weighted to foreign stocks. Don't forget Russian, Indian and Brazilian stocks.

You know VMW is a spinoff of EMC. That is why I went with them because they also hold controlling interest in VMW,safer in my eyes. With that being said if you got in on the ground floor of VMW wow and congrats.
