MessageGene,
I understood that. However, I think it's hard/dangerous to trade =
consistently (and safely) from signals generated by newsletters and =
stock pickers, or black boxes or discussion threads. I assume you are =
out of HITK at this point?
My comments were and are limited to trying to grasp the total =
risk-reward on the name as indicated by the chart. Still too risky for =
me, maybe not for others. When the charts come into alignment, then =
money is made more easily, although not without risk.
I took $3+ out of HITK at the end of May by following my discipline (bot =
5/30 at 34.20, sold 6/5 at 37.47), and it was this experience which =
caught my attention with your post.
HITK may close this week higher or lower, and at that point it may still =
not be a good speculation, for my money.
Good luck,
DMC

Gene,
Two thoughts come to mind. First is a ski area I frequent. Just =
below the highest lift are some cliffs which are out of bounds by =
regulation and also by dint of pure reason: they look like suicide. =
However, on any thick powder day there are a number of youth with their =
snowboards and skis doing the "extreme thing." For some reason only 2 =
people have gotten killed there in my memory, and a few bad accidents, =
but mostly these yahoos make it through. It doesn't mean it isn't an =
absurd risk to take, but there you are.
Is HITK still a falling knife, or is it safe to buy? =20
Second is: what is volume during normal trading and what is volume =
during a selloff? Clearly HITK is in a selloff, so I like to look at =
something like 10 day volume (or volume since the plunge) rather than =
60-day volume. Here the 60-day volume is 583,000, but the most recent =
8 days have coughed up about 10 million shares, or 1.25 million per day. =
I was looking at HITK early today and was surprised that the first =
hour, amateur hour, didn't produce more volume. It's now 2.5 hours into =
the trading day and it's still at 330,000 shares.
I think today is simply a pause on the way down. I have no money in =
this name now and only look at it to determine when, on a trading basis, =
the reward might outweigh the risk. That event might not happen for =
several weeks and might take place at a higher price than today's (in =
fact, could easily do so).
Mostly I think of this endeavor as the opposite of even recreational =
skiing. We want to find the easiest, most risk free way of having fun =
(making $$), not the adrenaline rushed version. If this were a ski =
slope, my scans would be scouting for not black diamond slopes or blue =
slopes. Unlike skiing, here I'm on the hunt for easy green slopes and =
even yellow bunny hop slopes.
Good luck,
DMC

Technically your risk/reward on this name would be skewed toward =
risk at this point. The chart shows no stopping yet, volume is still =
high and the daily patterns are bearish. The price dropped right =
through the 200 day EMA (25.85), is below any support on the daily =
(there looks like some support at $20 on the weekly). If $20 holds, =
who's interested in buying for a quick off the bat 20% loss?
I don't actually see why $20 should hold for more than a pause, =
anyway. To me there's no sense in looking for "bad news," it's all in =
the chart right now.

If you still own HITK there may be a light in the tunnel. =
Change Wave (Tobin Smith) sent an alert to his 300,000 (?) subscribers =
to buy HITK on 7/25. Looking at the chart shows that the price dropped =
down and stabilized at its 200-day moving average at $23.14 before =
bouncing higher. It closed at $24.88 on 7/25. Other than a possible =
shortfall because of seasonal cough medicine sales I couldn't find any =
other bad news. Anyone know of any other issues?
Thanks,
Gene
I was forwarded the following;
A price under $25 is a great entry point for this dual
generic/diabetes play -- forget the noise from the momentum
buyers-turned-sellers. They were cleaned out with the huge =
volume
sales, so now it's time to build or add to your positions to =
get to
a $25 cost basis. I still think we can hold on for a $50 value =
at
the end of 2004 on $2 per share earnings in 2004.
Let's lower the buy under for HITK to $25.
