hi saleem
i had bought 200 shares of csiq on thursday. i sold 100 shares on friday. i thought monday i could get more since there would be some good news. unfortunately, it didnt work. just holding 100 shares and losing some. we have to be very quick in these types of market. i dont know what is waiting for this week. what is your view on buying rimm since rimm reports this week. usually i always get out before earning report. jut to be at a safer side.

let us hope everything is going to be fine. good luck

My .02 Cents

RIMM is all powerful--great phone line up--I expect a beet in earnings

Look at AAPL here too--Just got another upgrade and is clicking on all cylinders record sales on iPod and iMac the iphone is still out selling all expectations Maybe the trick is ti buy small amounts and get a slow build to your target position!

Good Luck Consider FRO here to --pays 25% and is the best oil shipper it is down $25 per share the chart is looking strong here

Peace to all

Hi All,

I still believe in "V". Started at 69 today and rose higher in a bad market. This stock appears to base in the upper 60's then moves up. Reverses direction around 76. If market goes positive this stock may go much higher. Just my thoughts.

Best Regards

Standards

As long as the M in canslim (an IBD term) market is down
Visa will NOT climb--it will climb if market goes up..

I got me a bushel of Visa--holding LT as the story is strong! Earnings are solid and are user fee based not loans. But financials are being punished, Ouch!!!! The good news is Mutual funds are buying on weakness.. IBD gives is a C+ on fund support--good.

is it the beginning of a crash. i dont know . it has taken out the july low. it is so tempting to buy stocks. but i refuse to buy more positions.

so difficult to hold any stocks.

Hi Steve,

Market IS in the process of establishing a FIRM bottom.

Always go with your comfort level.
