  1. You are funny, my caracal. Be aware, if you plan your holidays there is no legal protection for you in Egypt, Lebanon, Oman, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.


    :p

  3. thanks for your concern ..where/who do you trade thru?


    I think the only way to play TASR is to buy Maglite; my friend is a Lt. in NYPD ..he says they don't even use stun guns or the wood batons ..as they "give"..they beat the suspects up with the Maglite Flashlights...lets find the symbol..no wonder the steel stocks are running..the cigarette trade wars in NYC are insane!

    Best,
    David

  5. Hello,

    I'll give some insight why I would be looking @ shorting TASR. I've been watching this for a several weeks. Looking @ the ADX on a weekly chart, along with the considerable % over the 200ma, & the angle of ascent makes this ripe for a serious plunge.

    Admittedly due to the very low float & large % of shares short, this has become a NIGHTMARE for the shorts. However, I will say this with certainty that a trend change is forthcoming. When not if it occurs the brutality on the long side will be equally so. Now if some Specialists, or brokerage house would step up to write options I would be very interested. This reminds me of FCEL about 2-3 yrs ago., & NEWP. Both stocks were able to be used as trading vehicles very successfully.

    Check this ADX readings this high on weeklys are very rare, & dailies as well. Very successful for swing or position trade selling, & using a daily or intraday entry setup, such as Trader Vics 2B or a Connors setup.

  7. Glassinc,

    TASR is at the historic high end of its relative range on a regression analysis as well.

    Company has a "stunning" growth rate though. See table atached

    Taser sued a basher on the Yahoo board - seriously

  8. Dgabriel,

    Good stuff, while fundamentally I see and will agree it's been on a tear. I also chose to believe that the large amount of shares sold short has exacerbated this move to their demise. I currently have it on my trading platform, & looking @ the daily move here. It's my VHO that we're witnessing what are the makings of a climactic run. This doesn't mean I don't believe it will not run further, possibly outside the range currently in the 120 - 130 area.

    A stock trading @ well over 200% of it's 200ma is very STRETCHED currently 236%, & just like a rubber band will snap back or break. 250-260% will put in the 120 area. It'll be of no consequence either way. Unless enough shorts cover to free up shares, or options become available I'll miss the opportunity to make a trade that would be the highlight of my year, I guarantee it. I love stalking these plays.

    Too bad about the person on Yahoo, must have really been annoying to warrant that kind of attention, so then deserving of their punishment.

    Look @ the volume today, & look for a reversal day that has this type of volume. With the tape running fast & price going nowhere, that will be the beginning of the end. May even be another gap & run day then watch for the reversal as it stalls.

    Take Care Dg, & God Bless! Kelly

  10. TASR up about 14%!!!

    C'om on guys give me some options. There is vola, there is volume what does an underlying need more?

    Apart, IMHO corporate America is still nuts. Anyway it doesn't matter.

    Best of luck.
