CDTI (Long) Clean Diesel Technologies Inc.This stock closed Friday at only $2.50 per share. Why I'm picking it ? I'm thinking the correction might be nearly over. On Thursday, 30th Oct. it spiked big time ( +132.74% ) on huge volume. Company develops and manufacturers sustainable solutions to reduce emissions of on and off-road engine applications. The big bump was due to some patents. Founded in 1994. Hdq. in Ventura, CA., 151 employees. Save a spot in the basement for me this week; Chart may not turn up this week..

ModE98, thought something was up when GILD dropped another 2.53% today ... think too far too fast so instituting a 11/28 expiry Buy Write  Going short so I can keep selling calls until called away. Fallacy?

Believe there is a possibility of GILD declining into the 90s if enough investors see trouble ahead. There's no doubt there will be a legal battle that will drag on. Chart shows the possibilities for a decline if enough key investors get spooked. www.finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=GILD |

Oops. Lowering limit price EDITED: Only has to drop another 3 for it to cross my limit. Bad news when insiders are trading but I believe it'll recover. But what a sucker punch  |
