The reason I define the Gran Turismo as a big bang for your buck is that you get huge status props from having a boutique car but the price on a used maserati is fairly low compared to other boutiques like a ferrari or Lambo. If you drive up in a maserati it is a much different reaction than if you drive up in a car that people are used to seeing like a corvette or bmw. If you want the fastest car for your money, go with a Subaru WRX or Mitsubishi EVO. They don't turn many heads but they are For the sake of rambling, Porshe makes some amazing cars but they hurt their brand by trying to sell cheap versions of their really nice stuff. They need to decide if they want to be a boutique brand or a luxury brand with the likes of BWM, Lexus, and Audi. I saw a Porshe GT2 yesterday downtown and the engine sounded amazing. That car's sticker is $180,000. See pic below. The Porshe Carerra is only $80,000 - see pic below Most average people can't tell the difference. IMO, when you spend $200k for a car, you don't want people thinking you only spent $80k on it. Those are in 2 different leagues.

SIM +179 Started trying the YM and NQ today.

The new Fisker Karma looks like it might be a fun daily driver. It is a plug in Hybrid a bit like the one Tesla motors is producing.

FMBI Quick post. This broke out a few minutes ago. I bought in at 12.44. Look at the volume spike. Woah!

DTSI Are 2 hammer candles, both touching support, better than just one?

ASTI Nice hammer candle today touching the support area. Possible buy for tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the thoughts. I'll try to find a stock scanner to look for all time high price makers. I've been messing around with finviz.com to see if I can get it to do what I want but it isn't as user friendly as I was hoping or maybe I am just slow. Probably the later.

GFI Decided to try buying this trendline support because of the nice hammer candle which formed today. I bought in at $13.40. Stop set at $12.84

Complete reversal at trendline touch. I bailed out with a 6.8% gain. Might get a nice reversal off the support line now.

I use "www.freestockcharts.com" for all my stock charting.

Thanks for the link. I am still trying to figure out which report it was that had the information which caused the huge drop. I just want to make sure I am aware of what reports have the potential to cause significant moves in the grains so that I can be aware of the days that they are released.

Was everyone who trades corn waiting for that forecast to come out or does the USDA just come out with that forecasts whenever the want? I'd like to be prepared if forecasts are scheduled to come out on the grains. Anyone know about this?

Wow, my first experience with a limit day. I wish I had kept my shorts from yesterday. I can't imagine the feeling of those stuck on the long side of todays move. I am very curious to see how the movement is tomorrow.

1/11/09: +487 Natural gas decided to break major support so I had to take the hit. Great R/R on it so it was the right trade but it didn't work out. Oil looked choppy enough that I decided that I should trail a little closer today but hindsight is telling me otherwise. Good day though for me especially since it seemed like everything was in slowmo for a while. Corn made the move I was expecting but I was moving so slow I had to cut it short. Had to quit at 11:00 ET. Nice trading Subterfuge! SIM results

Corn - ZC 1/10/10 Price is right near resistance and its had a couple tries to breakthough without success. Monday might be a good day for the bulls to finally give in and let this thing go. Not sure if the extreme cold weather is keeping prices up right now. I wish I had some fundamental understanding of the grains futures price changes just so I understood the big picture a little more.

I have gone back and forth between the continental and the gran turismo several times. Bentley makes some classy stuff. Nice choice.

ROG Here is a pretty good place to expect a reversal. I might buy this on Monday with a very tight stop.

This would be the weekend/"date with the wife" driver. I'll let me kids look at it from a safe 15' feet away. I've cleaned underneath my kids car seats before and really......I don't think so in the Maserati.

ZEUS That's a great stock symbol. I looked at this and thought, "if I wanted to get in this to ride the trend I would be expecting a pullback very soon, possibly to the bottom trendline at which point I might consider a buy."

I guess you do, I am just slow to put it all together and I hadn't seen you post a chart with such compelling range expansion notes before so it opened my eyes to the significance. Thanks.

NPBC Breakout at green line would get me in. Stop would be at red line. First major pullback would be expect at ~$9 based on trendline.

Well, since this forum is mostly full of guys and I didn't see a thread about cars, I figured I better start one. I bought and sold cars with dealers for a small part of my career and am still partial involved with the car business. I look at cars often from a biggest bang for my buck situation and as such my current dream car is the 2008 Maserati Gran Turismo (see pic below). Maserati's depreciate very fast so I am planning on buying a 2008 in a couple years for around ~$50k. We'll see if it happens. What is your attainable dream car if you end up making some good money with trading as we all hope to do or as some have already done? Including a picture is a requirement for posting here.

Does anyone else use this type of analysis to find trades? It seems like pretty elementry technical analysis but it has a simplicity that I really like. I really need to work on how to manage the exits on these. Right now I am up on every single trade I entered and am holding from this thread. I could simply trail at all natural stops (last pullback pivots) or set some proft target based on the expected range which would be derived from the range of the past year or less. Not sure yet.

SFY I have my alert set for a breakout on this one. The chop zone at the current price area back in Nov of 2008 has me a little concerned but not enough pass on this if it breaks with a little momentum.

TGX Thales, would this be a candidate for a BBBO trade for you? See the cup and handle in 09. On a macro scale like this it is a pretty tight formation.
