  • mschrad: $FCFS Check out Weekly Chart - > 50 sma. Forming strong right cup. Get some !
  • woodman: $FCFS continues up out of v/s. I mentioned it on Friday, but still missed it.
  • DavidM: @woodman $PYPL $V $MA $YRD $CACC $FCFS #CreditServices $SQ seems to fit and is also doing well
  • woodman: @DavidM $PYPL $V $MA $YRD $CACC $FCFS $SQ #CreditServices - Yes! My bad. I have $SQ as well. Duh.
  • woodman: #CreditServices working well - mainly the big ones: $PYPL $V $MA. But a few others include $YRD $EZPW (but now at resistance) $CACC $FCFS (moving out of v/s). (I have only $PYPL.)
  • woodman: @FHS $LC #CreditServices - Excellent work! Congrats. This one is new to me, but yeah, I can see why you sold it and it looks like you did perfectly. I have no idea what caused it to jump (earnings?) but I'd be inclined to let it let it cool off some before getting back in. I was fishing for another credit services stock to add to my holdings and saw LC as I waded thru the charts. I have $EZPW still (getting squeezer-ish), but sold my $YRD to bank some green; I'd like back in YRD eventually but not here. Also catching my eye in the sector: $ONDK $AXP $SLM $WU $FCFS
  • FHS: @woodman $LC $EZPW $YRD $ONDK $AXP $SLM $WU $FCFS #CreditServices Greetings! Yes, I believe it was an earnings jump, but why I don't know. I tried reading them, but out of boredom turned to "War and Peace" instead. There still seems to be a lot of negative commotion regarding the company, so I thought it best to be cautious, maybe overly so. Thanks for pointing the others out. I will take a look. Cheers.
  • woodman: #CreditServices stocks have been doing well. I've been long $EZPW and was long $QIWI which I still like and may buy back. Others to look at: $YRD $FSC $NAVI $COF $SYF $DFS $OMF $TSS $NNI $PYPL $FCFS $CSH $WU $MA $GDOT $V
  • bigbartabs: @woodman $YRD $PYPL $AXP $DFS $FSC $TCAP $CSH $AGM $NNI $GDOT $QIWI $OMF $PHH $ENVA $MGI $FCFS $COF $MA $NAVI $WU $SLM #CreditServices ... volume... this has been bothering me for some time. With a rally like we have had, it just seemed to me that we should have had more volume to back it up. Almost seems like there has been something wrong with my charts for the last month. I wonder if the low volume (trickling in each day) was the reason the rally just kept going for so long. Just a few traders / investors finally buying into it each day. Odd.
  • bigbartabs: @woodman $YRD $PYPL $AXP $DFS $FSC $TCAP $CSH $AGM $NNI $GDOT $QIWI $OMF $PHH $ENVA $MGI $FCFS $COF $MA $NAVI $WU $SLM $SPY #CreditServices ... just saw your 5:03pm post. My earlier thoughts exactly.
  • woodman: @bigbartabs $YRD $PYPL $AXP $DFS $FSC $TCAP $CSH $AGM $NNI $GDOT $QIWI $OMF $PHH $ENVA $MGI $FCFS $COF $MA $NAVI $WU $SLM $SPY #CreditServices I like volume as much as the next person, but we just haven't been getting it yet stocks have gone up. In fact, this has been the case for years. We've had low volume in $SPY for years yet seen a continued move up for SPY. Not until summer 2015 did the price of SPY level off.
  • woodman: #CreditServices (TC2000) have been on fire. Here are some that caught my eye:​ $YRD - Everyone's darling rocket ship ipo. $PYPL - @aragorn has been pounding the table. ​Res ipsa loquitur.​ $AXP - I've been long this one. Easy rider; no Tums needed. $DFS - nice like AXP. $FSC - watch to see if can get thru the 50 day. $TCAP performing well and sports a 10.5 div yield. $CSH, $AGM, $NNI, $GDOT- exhibiting escape velocity and still lifting. $QIWI $OMF, $PHH - up thru the 50 day with room to continue up. $ENVA - creeping higher; buying on pullback to 50 day would be nicer. $MGI - maybe.... $FCFS - looks like phase 2. Watch for phase 3. $COF, $MA and $NAVI - good runs, but nearing 200 day now. $WU - 200 day now support. $SLM - messy but directionally pleasing.
  • TunaHelper: @woodman $YRD $PYPL $AXP $DFS $FSC $TCAP $CSH $AGM $NNI $GDOT $QIWI $OMF $PHH $ENVA $MGI $FCFS $COF $MA $NAVI $WU $SLM #CreditServices Just a quick thought: You might want to look at these through the lens of volume (e.g., is the volume increasing?, is it consistently above 50dma of volume). That being said, volume today is very light across the board / generally in the market.
  • woodman: @TunaHelper $YRD $PYPL $AXP $DFS $FSC $TCAP $CSH $AGM $NNI $GDOT $QIWI $OMF $PHH $ENVA $MGI $FCFS $COF $MA $NAVI $WU $SLM #CreditServices Yes, volume is down across the board. I didn't have such a micro one-day view. I like the direction and potential of these, but I leave to you and others to figure out which ones you might like best. I'm just pointing you to what is working. It's for you to drill down and find out what works for you and your style.
  • TunaHelper: @woodman $YRD $PYPL $AXP $DFS $FSC $TCAP $CSH $AGM $NNI $GDOT $QIWI $OMF $PHH $ENVA $MGI $FCFS $COF $MA $NAVI $WU $SLM #CreditServices The low volume on some of the listed tickers has been for more than one day. More generally across the board today has been a low volume day in the market.
  • woodman: @TunaHelper $YRD $PYPL $AXP $DFS $FSC $TCAP $CSH $AGM $NNI $GDOT $QIWI $OMF $PHH $ENVA $MGI $FCFS $COF $MA $NAVI $WU $SLM #CreditServices Seriously, are you giving me a hard time for providing the fruit of my labor. Are you asking me to do additional work when I've been nice enough to give ideas during the trading day. My response to your other comment made me miss the close and something I planned on buying. That was stupid of me. I've provided 19 ideas in one list. If you don't like a stock, don't buy it. All the stocks have potential or have done extremely well already. If some aren't to your liking b/c you want more volume, fine, avoid those stocks.
  • woodman: @TunaHelper $YRD $PYPL $AXP $DFS $FSC $TCAP $CSH $AGM $NNI $GDOT $QIWI $OMF $PHH $ENVA $MGI $FCFS $COF $MA $NAVI $WU $SLM #CreditServices CSH - up nearly 40% in a little over a month. Pretty much up every day. You could have bought and made a ton of money or said -oh my, it's lower volume than the rest of the Market is having, so I won't buy it. The stock doesn't care that you lost out, but it's a free country and it's your decision, even if not necessarily the right one.
  • TunaHelper: @woodman $YRD $PYPL $AXP $DFS $FSC $TCAP $CSH $AGM $NNI $GDOT $QIWI $OMF $PHH $ENVA $MGI $FCFS $COF $MA $NAVI $WU $SLM #CreditServices Seriously, you are misreading my note. I was not attacking you personally, not giving you a hard time, nor asking you to do additional work; rather, I was offering some additional information to consider. That's it. Relax. I was just pointing out that some of the stocks on the list had weak volume recently - and is another technical metric to think about when determining whether to buy or not. One of my rules is "Volume never lies, but price does sometimes." It has proved helpful for getting into good trades and avoiding hazardous ones. In any case, if you took my comments as a personal attack, please note that it was not.
  • woodman: @TunaHelper $YRD $PYPL $AXP $DFS $FSC $TCAP $CSH $AGM $NNI $GDOT $QIWI $OMF $PHH $ENVA $MGI $FCFS $COF $MA $NAVI $WU $SLM #CreditServices Have you even looked at the volume in $SPY since the 2/11 triple bottom? Go ahead, check it out. It has been terrible. Every single day but one since 2/11 has had volume UNDER avg. 50 day volume. If you've stayed on the sideline lamenting the lousy volume, you've completely missed out on this move.
  • Hackberry: @woodman $YRD $PYPL $AXP $DFS $FSC $TCAP $CSH $AGM $NNI $GDOT $QIWI $OMF $PHH $ENVA $MGI $FCFS $COF $MA $NAVI $WU $SLM #CreditServices Thanks for the tickers. Banging through the charts now.

  • wehappyfew: @Dan, @Bob, etal. $EZPW, $CSH, FCFS. Thesis is since banks aren't lending much, and those with damaged credit can't borrow, the cash source of last resort will be the pawn shops. Just finished quick and dirty research on these three; open, high low, close, volume, what candle looks like, 50 dma, long timeline previous support, BB's. $EZPW AND $CSH are at multi year lows respectively and with the other info added in, look like they are setting up for a bounce on any good news. $FCFS closed at 13.66; higher than the 12.25 Nov 08 low, and looks like it broke through support. All stocks had tightening BB's that resolved to the downside. $FCFS may not be the candidate the other two appear to be. All three have headroom. Thoughts?
  • wehappyfew: Good morning, @Bob. I appreciate your tip on ATHN. I wrote you and @Dan on the weekend at the bottom of the page concerning $FCFS, $EZPW, and CSH. Please take a look and respond when you have an opportunity.
