    I post this one apart because you said isn't in my range ;):D but some other might like it
    but post all the same because those big caps I started to play with options (open AAPL AIG AMZN)
    strange because earlier in the day I was DD on AAOI and ACIA come out as well reading about it and had a quick DD .... interesting

    broken the line ..... resist 5.65 with more volume could get close to that but might not break it at first attempt

    if i had not gotten locked out yesterday, you would have known when it was around $4.80. Took profits @ $5.25 and good thing too because closed @ $5.31 and last i checked it was back under $5 so may be more buying ops to come before it really moves up. Don't know much about company either and have to do more DD but seeing all those insider buys with chart was enough to get me jumping in real quick, especially when i saw 2 had recently picked up 1+M each at $4.20 and they definitely aren't looking to scalp anytime soon so this should be heading much higher at some point :)

    Still have to learn about options but still working on getting enough courage to play that other direction.. made a small fortune shorting DRYS on "PAPER" all the way down from $8's and too bad i didn't play for real :mad:
    ACIA was a great play last summer and even at the beginning on the way down - was on of my go to plays and seems to be right on that edge so hoping it moves north and i am not forced to take a hit on this one :oops:

    I think I got the newbie lucky on options..... I have been profitable but don't fully understand them.... :(:rolleyes::)
    years ago I did trade short ... doing scalp in reverse but then I had problem to get the stocks with my broker so give up
    today I believe there are many "shorter" brokers and easier to get the stocks but not too easy to open an acc, to a non resident
    good luck :)
