This is NOT a pump thread or a guessing thread. It's for stocks with a KNOW reason to run or gap.

I got NUCO 500 at 27.22 and thats me for 300 at 27.00

We will see what the AM brings.

You asked for gappers for tommorrow did you not????????? I posted TIDE, it would be pointless pumping it when I don't own any TIDE??????? If you can't take suggestions don't ask for them

Read my first post. You did not KNOW why TIDE was moving. IF you would have said they got a permit and provided a link then it may have fit the criteria.
I'm not buying stocks just because they move a little and people start chattering rumors.

You said you wanted to try making on the gappers right??? Tide was up 25% when I posted it with nice volume 45 minutes from the bell. I thought it had nice momo that would carry through to tommorrow for a nice GAP. Thats what I thought you were trying to do. I also told you to check it out if ya had time, thats why I never posted anything about the permit. You asked for any thoughts for a gapper tomorrow, I give you one. Nuff said.

P.S Don't mind me, you have money to make, now get to it!!!!!

P.P.S I like this thread idea.

I did not find any good gapper picks for Thursday. And Friday I left early. Still did good with the two picks and averaged over 10% for the first week which is 5% better than hoped for.

I need help locating gapper candidates and 1st buy in prices.

Stocks must have a good PR or some other legitamite reason they will pop the next day like a good SEC filing, document, or contract listed through a 3rd party Etc.

They must have a decent spread and be tradeable. And they also must be up a reasonable amount according to the news.

I plan to buy half during lunch hour, and the rest right before the close. If I'm lucky enough to see the PR within a couple minutes of the news I may buy 3 times during the day. Stock will be sold within the first 20 minutes of moring open depending on risk and how much I own.

If anyone wants to play along with some of their own money send me a PM and I'll try to keep you updated more through PM's. If anyone finds any golden PR's please let me know ASAP.
I do my trading while at work so thats why I do not post that much.

I like this thread.. very good idea! Best of luck to you and will keep a lookout on your picks and see how you do. May just join in on some picks if the gap looks appealing, potential wise is always major points!!

This is an intriguing approach, but can you really be sure a stock will never gap down? Seems like one bad after-hours PR or relevant news story could really set you back.

I'm considering a different approach that involves never holding a stock overnight for this very reason.

It wouldn't really be playing the gaps if you held, I guess, but GDTI released more news after the bell today.

Of course you can not be sure LOL... But assuming your buying on a great PR, they "should" not be releasing something bad a few hours later. Unless it's a set-up, which I've seen before.

I sold GDTI for a loss. Then of course today it really jumps up. I'm not doing too good 1 for 4 so far. GDTI lost 6%...

I need more patience looking for only the best gappers. Even if I only pick 1 or 2 per week thats fine as long as they do OK.

I still could use some help looking for gapper plays. Anyone see something please let me know.

I know you're expecting some small losses along the way, but that's not my point. A rare event - like a setup, or an action by the SEC, or an "act of God" - could really screw you, and it looks like your exposure to such events is pretty high.

I suppose the same could be said of holding onto any stock, but you're picking stocks with a certain amount of volatility (expectations running them up) and you're putting all of your initial $10K into a single basket.

Just something to thing about.

It goes in waves... I make some usually when I try it. I've been too busy plus there seems to be a lack of good PR's.

I got 2k TDCP at .80 to play that gap on the uplisting yesterday.
