    Thoughts on HIMAX? Getting hit hard lately and apparently they just lost a big order in South Korea. Wondering if I should let it ride or sell

    Sold half my position before earnings...doh!! Oh well, still up very nicely on the remaining puts...these lock up releases seem like such easy money...remember we used to do the same play back in 2000 with companies like stamps.com, drugstore.com, koop.com or whatever .com was valued insanely...

    Actually I just came back into this thread specifically to see if anyone was still holding onto HIMX. It was a wild ride up. Probably a painful one on the way down. I never got in.

    Hopefully twtr has one more mega puke down to 26 quick. I'd love to buy a lot for a bounce play there since it is the IPO price.

    Yeah I held it in my outside account. I actually added in around 8 or so. Holding for now.

    Oof. HIMX took another one in the gut. I hope you guys got out. Unless you think it's swinging back up and have been averaging down?

    Bought around 8, sold most at 14 but held onto 200 shares, been playing options since. Going to buy back in, this was always a long term play. Just waiting on Google to figure out Glass...

    robbie, curious to hear your thoughts since you've had some good advice in this thread - you think next downside mark is 5.50? I watched it break 8 hard on one 5 minute candle and was like :eek: - figured it would gain traction intraday, sputter out, and fall. It did, and now we wait

    I would look for bac to keep going down. I don't think any banks are a good buy right now. I think in 12 months everything will hea good buy after this fed induced bull market flames and burns

    all these internet and momentum small caps are the leaders in this sell off. I think it could go a full year reversal to the sub )6 area as you mention

    I have a tiny sum in HIMX that I bought @10.00 in October, haven't sold a stock yet since I started dollar cost avging, looking to get in more. Like you guys I'm waiting for a price point around $6 or so, no catalysts to move it up in the near future, but fundamentals are looking excellent compared to peers combined with long term growth prospects. I guess that's what a 60% drop will do to ya.

    Technicals still bad tho. Does anyone use unclestock.com? What do y'all think of their assessments?

    LUB bounced today finally. I'm still gonna keep holding. I ended up getting those Oct $5 calls for 60 cents. I'm also in some KSU calls in my trading account that thing finally perked up.

    Question.

    I want to get into e-minis. What's a good free charting website?

    Secondly, are there any resources, blog, articles, that I should check out?
