FCSE : has had mild selling from profit takers last two days but has been holding steady in 1.28 to 1,34 trading range. Conferance meeting is today at 3:00 pm then earnings on Thursday. I'm expecting this stock to trade higher at end after conferance meeting and possibly a breakout for tomorrow before earnings with profit takers towards end of day. I'll be hoping for the rise in price towards end of day without a stop loss entered. I won't be able to watch it after 2:30 so I'll hope for a good meeting that investors will like and if it goes good I'll probably be entering a trailing stop loss in tomorrow after a run up and see where it will go. The golden crossover of the 50 and 200 day MA is now showing hope this is a sign of what is to come
Goodluck trading to all

News out today. The more the better right now before earnings.

Hey wrangler. Are you thinking about holding this through earnings?  I guess it probably just depends on your stop right?

Hi digdug42
It all depends on Wed. trading . If it will stay within the 1.28 to 1.36 range I'll hold and use trailing stop loss for earnings but if I begin to see a big sell off I'll consider selling. Sometimes I don't know till the last minute what I'm going to do.
I still think this stock has room to grow but usually there will be a lot of selling the day before earnings because playing thru earnings is risky. It is better to lock in you're profit's and if it should go higher because of good earnings report then jump back on for the next ride.
Whatever I decide to do I'll post it as soon as I do. Usually I get cold feet and sell before earnings to lock in profits.
Whatever you decide to do I hope you goodluck trading

First 15 minutes of trading,,low @1.20..high 1.30 and trading now @1.22 with 126,850 shares traded. Still see this as not a reason to sell with low volume but traders taking profits and M&M's scaring traders with opening shares being 100 and 200 and 100 shares and so on share price that's M&M's bringing price down to scare and take out stop losses.
Will continue to hold for now and see what happens after one hour of trading and see if it climbs back up.
Goodluck to all holding

I am still in this one as of now.  I will be watching closely.  Hopefully the conference call goes well and then good earnings tomorrow.  Is this normal to have a conference call before earnings?  Are they allowed to talk about their earnings today? Good luck to you wrangler.

Both of my aggressive small cap aggressive stocks ( mutual fund lingo) got hit today. IIP and FCSE. I am still holding as I think they'll resume their move upward soon with turnarounds happened and positive results have started pouring in.

Hi digdug42
Have posted new chart to show my reasons for holding even though price has gone down to 1.20. Chart shows there's no reason for now to worry.
Yesterday wasn't a conferance meeting to discuss furure projections of the company it was Financial conferance of AeA Micro Cap. But see this as a good one or their would be some major selling going on.

Focus Enhancements Shares Soar on Lifted 1st-Quarter Outlook

NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of Focus Enhancements, a Campbell, Calif.-based maker of integrated circuits used in IPTV set-top boxes and portable media players, shot up in midday trading on Monday after the company lifted its first-quarter outlook.

Before opening bell on Monday the company said it expected $7 million in first-quarter revenue, 27 percent higher than the year-ago quarter's $5.5 million in revenue, and up from previous guidance for $6.7 million in sales.

For the full year, the company now expects $34 million in revenue, up from previous projections for $32 million.

It is now 1:00 PM and 411,038 shares has been traded,,Last trade @1.23,,Ask @1.23,,bid @1.23. Sounds like investors are now waiting. I'm looking for a breakout but it's only my opinion and hope it happens.
Wish I knew when earnings will be released tomorrow but time is not specified.
Goodluck to all holding

Time for me to get off here ,,got to get ready for work will see what's happened when I get back about 4:00 AM.
Let's keep our fingers crossed
Goodluck to all holding

Earnings is after market close and plan is to put trailing stop loss in for 6% from today's closing price. Anytime I use a trailing stop I'll use lowest closing price for three previous day's to go by and set around 5 points below it.
I'm posting a new chart to show where trailing stop loss will be and will show reason by using last three trading day's low and support with trend line to choose my trailing stop and if it get's taken I'll still be ahead 10%

Got close to my trailing stop and now has climbed back up. Low for day @1.16 and is now @1.20 looks like the selling and shorts might be done going into earnings at 3:00 today. Still think my target of 1.70 might be hit within one week after earnings release,,keeping my fingers crossed on this.
Will have to watch trailing stop since it will change while stock price changes.
Goodluck trading to all

Price has dropped back down is now @1.15 and getting closer to trailing stop loss. I guess profit takers is selling to protect their gain.

Trailing stop loss was hit. Still a little shy of 10% gain so I'll wait to see what will happen after earnings
Goodluck if you're still holding anything can happen after earnings

Just bought back in @1.13. Still think this stock has alot going for it with the PR's that has come out and new product's coming out and with gaining compliance to stay listed on Nasdaq.
Even if it's not a big run after earnings I see this stock as one to hold for at least a month for some good return on it.
Goodluck trading to all
