BUY VALV @ $1.18 - SOLD VALV @ $1.24
A reader by the name of Guy wrote a comment that I was able to read before the beginning bell this morning to ask what I thought of a stock called Shengkai Innovations Inc (VALV). It looked like a momentum play I could manage between everything thing else I do at work (yeah, right) so I bought some shares at $1.15, but most were at $1.18. Just minutes ago I sold my entire position at $1.24.
Some of the VALV's incredible 'fundamental' data that I was able to glean before attempting the flip are detailed on the chart using various colors.
I simply do not have time right now to decide just how legit this stock and its pricing, so I took a little 5% profit and politely said "thank you". And I would also like to say "thank you" to Guy.
Heck, if half of those numbers are real I should have held this thing until it reached $5.
Hi John, well i have been tinkering with the tsi. I see you have as well. Good job. The tsi is being refered to on SMT blog every now and then. Would you be willing to use gold as a real time teaching tool? Perhaps post gold with the tsi, 2 or 3 times a week. Then comment on the tsi development. We all like gold and watching the tsi develop its moves and signals would be more educational. Well its just a thought, i know you are very busy. Keep up the great work
I read a seeking alpha article that might make sense. The idea is that general fear of China industry, paranoia, and institutional dumping of shares in a smaller cap company have destroyed the share price.

I am still a novice at the TSI and wanted to ask you if I am correctly seeing a Trend Line Break on the 4hr TVIX chart?
ReplyDeleteAlso thanks for posting the 20 shorts, I went through each on TOS as homework to gain a better understanding of the techniques.

Hi again John,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the quick analysis!

Its funny the commenters turn on the author pretty quickly when the stock really starts to tank.
