Rise or Fall - 5/14/09

And... it's back. By not-so-popular demand I put together a quick Rise or Fall candidate. I figure that in this current market it might not be so easy to predict the move. Or is it????

So, just look at the chart - the same chart that I look at during the day - and let me know if you would put your money long or short in this trade... and why or why not. I want to hear your reasoning.

Rise or Fall - 1/11

Been a while since I last posted a Rise or Fall candidate but I hope to make this a more regular feature. Take a look at the last candle on the chart and let me know if you would go long, short or stay out based on the information provided.

And the next Rise or Fall installment. Take a look at the last candle on the chart and let me know if you would go long, short or stay out based on the information on the chart and the last candle. I will let you know what I did (or didn't do) on Monday. I took the dates out so you all don't cheat!!! :) Of course, you can figure it out on the daily, but you wouldn't do that, right????

Well, it's been awhile since the last Rise or Fall, so I hope you haven't forgotten the premise. Take a look at the last candle on the chart and let me know if you would go long, short and stay out based on the information on the chart. I will let you know what I did on Monday.

Rise or Fall - 6/16/07

For this week's installment of Rise or Fall, I'm also including a screenshot of the weekly chart. So... at this point in the stock - the point where I made a decision - I'd like to know if you would've gone long, short or decide to stay out of the trade... and why.
 
Here's the intraday, 5-min chart. Blue line is the 5ema:
 
EDIT: This site and chart looks really funky in IE7. So, I encourage everyone to download Firefox. You can import all your current bookmarks... yet, surf the net fast as pages upload much faster in Firefox. From now on, I'm just going to make sure charts show up in IE7 but I'm not going to format the text to conform to IE7. Sorry.
 
UPDATE: I think I solved the problem with IE7. Let me know if you all have any further issues.
 

Here is the weekly chart for the last 2 years (drawn lines show pivot points):
 

Rise or Fall - 6/09/07

Here's the idea: once a week I'll post segments of charts I either traded or thought of trading and ask you - with all the information you see on the chart - do you think the stock will rise or fall.
I like this exercise because it's good practice for realtime trading. Often times, we look at charts at the end of the day and it's easy to say, 'yeah, I would've entered there.' However, can you call it as it's about to happen?
All I ask is if you think the stock will rise or fall and why. You can also say you wouldn't enter the trade given the information presented.
I'll post the actual chart a few days later or... if no one's commented I'll show it... right after jumping out a window from blogging loneliness.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, this is a 5-min chart.
















I've also cut out the stock info so you cheaters can't... well, cheat.
