  • wijimmy: @champ $AMZN $DECK $CLX $MKSI #Schwab #credited #see . What did you get credited ?? Isn't it commission free ? or did they honor the stock sell price at the time you entered the order ? .. Back when we were charged $6.95 fee Scottrade use to credit you when they were down or had network issues.
  • joelsg1: @champ $AMZN $DECK $CLX $MKSI #Schwab #credited #see Posted about this last year, but Schwab did an involuntary cover without telling me of a short position which quickly went lower, denying me a profitable trade. I complained in writing, they responded they were within their contract right, I persisted and they wound up partially relenting, crediting me 1/2 the lost profit. Maybe because I am a lawyer and a primo customer. Bottom line: if they value your business, they will fold at least a bit, so persist. Good for you!
  • champ: @joelsg1 $AMZN $DECK $CLX $MKSI #Schwab #credited #see ---- I #never had a problem at Schwab and I have been a customer for over 38 years now. I posted the guideline that they use,...for sell orders, if they don't go though. All you do is just call them, its just that simple and I never had a problem,...that they didn't take care of. ~~ I'm a customer just like you are and I get invited to special events and the last time I went, I had a nice conversation with Charles Schwab for about 30 minutes at Pebble Beach Golf Resort, he also has a house their....I'm just saying this is a real easy company to work with and always has been,....however they do have rules that they use,...for when they have tech outages. I'm glad to hear that you had your issue resolved. LOL next week...
  • joelsg1: @champ $AMZN $DECK $CLX $MKSI #Schwab #credited #see #never Wow, I never get invited anywhere. They do pay me at my request a small supplement for my business, but that’s it. Best.
  • champ: #Schwab, I had a call from them today, right on the close and they #credited my account for,.... 4 of my disputed positions, that I could not sell on 1/27....because their trading platform was down that morning, for 20 minutes or so and those positions were on.... $AMZN $DECK, $CLX and $MKSI, they can track those sell positions when they don't go thought, just by looking at your sell activity that morning, they can #see that,...even if they don't go through. ~~~~ I'm just posting this, ...in case that ever happens to other Forum members...but it has be pointed out that same day, can't go back. I see compliance in the forum about this, with other brokers.
  • lostsheep: $MKSI clearing resistance. a little overhead room. lower volume
  • lostsheep: $CZR $Voya $CF $MKSI $qrvo $pnr MMYT $SYY just some setups in various sectors that I will watch. I'm sure many have been mentioned so take no offense. $TMDX started a position a few days ago on a 2x inside days resolution. 31.5 should stand as support. getting some attention this morning. Don't see any news.
  • bRobert: @lostsheep $CZR $Voya $CF $MKSI $qrvo $pnr $SYY $TMDX I don't believe anyone has an exclusive on posting trading ideas on these tickers Keep it coming
  • haonkered: $MKSI Right at a downtrend line, but the reversal looks strong in the generally weak market environment. Would love to see a look at this in the daily video
  • champ: $MKSI, #MKS-Instruments @ $178.50, #down today but they will be reporting earnings tomorrow, 1/27/after, the guess is that they are going to beat, upgrade yesterday by $C, with a price target at $200, ...take a look.
  • Angdionk: $MKSI moving off the 50dma
  • HGIGuy: $MKSI Clear break above 200 dma, bumping up against recent prior highs.
  • scottrades: $MKSI Trying to Squeeze above a base.
  • scottrades: $MKSI Nice long base. within 5% of the 50 Day Moving Average. Watch above 113.75
  • issues: earnings tomorrow $CNC $TRU $EDU $RHI $MKSI $IRBT $HA $IPHI. Thinking of selling 1/2 of CNC to avoid risk.
  • JustJoe: $MKSI back on my watch list. It's building a base after decent earnings. Zacks rates it a buy. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/mks-instruments-mksi-beats-q1-140402791.html
  • woodman: $MKSI looks decent here.
  • Aragorn: ...
    $MKSI - 3 bar pullback to a rising 8ema on the weekly
    $MU - inside day
    $NFLX - outside week 8ema support
    $PAGS 0- new issue - Buy The dips

  • eacain: $TEAM and $MKSI have been two good breakout buys
  • Gary: ...
    11. $MKSI – breakout above $110. Would like to see this test $110...but impressive that it’s up on weak day in market.
    12. $MZOR – tightening up along 50-day moving average. Cup & Handle. Not perfect (good luck finding one), ...
  • bsafriet: $FB $MSFT $PYPL $ESIO $MKSI $NOVT $QCOM All report after the bell today
  • issues: $FSLR is better than $SEDG. Stopped out 1/2 position in $SEDG and wishing I had bought $FSLR.(too extended now.) Bought $MTDR today. Yesterday bought/added small positions in $PRAH $DQ $KRE $LGIH $AMTD and sold $MKSI $CVRR.
  • issues: ...
    As Cramer noted the semis will go with up or down with what $MU reports on Tues. But MU is in a different IBD category -group 17: $MU is with computer storage which includes $NTAP $CARB $SIMO $WDC, while semi group is #32 which includes: $MKSI $DAIO ...
  • issues: I appreciate Dan's comments about this being a 'bull trap'. Dan is right a lot. Like when he said take partial profits when tech was at it high. I didn't follow his advice and regret it especially on $ANET! Wow 40 point drop! Will it ever return back up>? I added to $ALGN $SEDG $MKSI $RHT> and sold 1/4 position in $CGNX and all of $MZOR. Also sold $KRO with small profit. Bought starter in $ADBE! stop at $165. Added to $ROKU with stop at $35! Looking at $CRM and seeing the top is around $108. Not much room 'til it hits it's resistance.
  • woodman: $MKSI and $CGNX - both considered "scientific & technical instruments" on TC2000. Nice charts, both of them. No position in either. MKSI has already repoted. CGNX reports on 10/30 amc.
  • issues: @woodman $MKSI we are holding a small position in MKSI but it just won't let me in to buy more. It's like a wall that gets higher and higher.
  • bsafriet: $INTC $MSFT. Much of my time the last couple of days has been devoted to scrubbing my holdings, tightening stops and exiting some positions. Decided to protect profits on $INTC and $MSFT and closed positions prior to ER tonight. Having sellers remo ...
  • issues: @ROSEY $SMH not Dan but here's what I researched in $SMH: IBD grp 19 includes $LRCX $MKSI $AEIS $AMAT $ESIO $BRKS. Today we bought ESIO and BRKS. Already own MKSI & LRCX.
  • ROSEY: @issues $SMH $LRCX $MKSI $AEIS $AMAT $ESIO $BRKS Thanks . I was surprised that NVDA was not in the group.
  • issues: As I carefully read the posts today and listened to uncle Dan on SMM last night, I noticed Dan's mention of $BRKS. So I did my diligent research and found BRKS is in IBD group 19 - Semis along with $LRCX $MKSI $AEIS $AMAT & $ESIO. I was surprised to see ESIO up 40 in the past 3 months. Then LRCX was up 4% in 10 days TCMD was also up 40% in the past 3 months. BRKS is has a good rating at 97 Cumulative and C+ accumulation. MKSI 99 Cumulative and A accumulation. and ESIO 91 Cumulative and A accumulation. ESIO might be one to keep in a watch list. But Dan's BRKS isn't bad either. Holding small positions in $LCRX $AMAT $MKSI. Bought $RP this morning.
  • vfr777: $MKSI I posted about this on 7/12. Bought on 7/6. It reported today and the stock is higher. I sold some along the way but kept 25% for the earnings report. Glad I did that. I'll see if it makes it to $88 (high of june) and decide what to do.
  • vfr777: $MKSI I got in on 7/6 and it's up 12% for me. Has had high volume throughout. Today it gaped up to the 50 day. I think it could go higher. As long as the semi's are doing well I would hold. Anyone have a thought or input?
  • vfr777: @cmaxwel1 $SMH $MKSI is up too
  • issues: @Collinssw $DAIO Do you own any? Are you buying at this price? Itis in IBD group 3 semiconductors. Excellent group with $AEIS $AMAT $LRCX $MKSI $ICHR $KLAC... But it's very extended above 50 day, which is $5.30. It's up 60%. I would prefer to wait for a pull back. Good stock.
  • Bridget: $MKSI is right back up at the top of the range. Has seen two very strong days and now pushing through $70. $70.40 will be a new high. Check out the weekly chart to see this could be breaking out of a 3 month consolidation pattern.
  • success: @Bridget $MKSI Just bought an opening position . . trying to be cautious with how much money in the market
  • woodman: $AXTI $ORBK $MXL $MKSI - I meant to post these that I was watching yesterday for today:
  • inthesticks: @woodman $GLW $ON $MKSI $MXL #Semiconductors $GLW?
  • woodman: @inthesticks $GLW $ON $MKSI $MXL #Semiconductors - ahh, I was too quick with the extraction of tickers from my watchlists. $GLW and $MKSI are on a different watch list that I inaccurately described here as semiconudctors (so many of what I watch in tech land are semis). My bad.
  • inthesticks: @woodman $GLW $ON $MKSI $MXL #Semiconductors I guess I was just wondering how $GLW relates to the semis mentioned?
  • woodman: [Edited] A few uptrending tech stocks on my watchlist that have pulled back to the 50 day and are bouncing: $GLW $ON $MKSI. $MXL pulled back to the 50d, and is still on it, but has given today's bounce back.
  • woodman: @inthesticks $GLW $ON $MKSI $MXL #Semiconductors - as I said below, it was a mistake to include $GLW within a discussion of "semiconductors." I accidentally took GLW from a tech watchlist of mine that isn't confined to semiconductors though many on that particular watchlist are indeed semiconductors. I have several different tech watchlists.
  • inthesticks: @woodman $GLW $ON $MKSI $MXL #Semiconductors No worries ... our posts passed each other on the wire. I saw your first watchlist post as soon as I hit "Post" . Thanks!

  • Bridget: $MKSI is breaking out of this squeeze
  • Bridget: Notes: $AIRG - #ipo hit a new all time high and went up 11% $DLTH - #ipo, retail, new all time high $ELF - #ipo, new all time high $RETA - #ipo, new all time high $OPK - vol squeeze breakout $HPQ - working $CLVS - breaking out from this recent flag $TSCO - starting to fill the gap $WFM - breaking through 200MA on volume $XLK - moving lower $SYK - breaking lower with momentum $ELLI - ditto $LVS - in a squeeze $EW - moving lower in this downtrend, no support in sight $MKSI - breaking out of a squeeze, industrial stock $NWL - breaking down below the 200MA, a retail stock laggard $PEP - continuing to get crushed, more than KO Retail moving well today: DSW, M, ICON, JCP KATE, BBBY

  • LMReeder: $MKSI appears to be breaking out of a flag pattern following Phase 1
  • woodman: #Semiconductor stocks - I've been mentioning thses here and there and provided a list of ones that caught my last week, I think. Many are working. My fav of late has been $OCLR which has been a beast the last few days, but more generally has been in a nice channel and a great buy on pullbacks to the 50 day. I am long $OCLR. I am also in $NXPI and $LSCC, but beware that these report tomorrow and the next day, respectively. $XLNX also looks good here, but it too reports tomorrow. $AMD and $MU have done well post earnings-announcements so maybe this will carry over to ones about to report. Who knows. $VECO looks good, as mentioned below. $NVDA was on my list too, but I missed the entry. Some others of interest $KLAC, $STM, $RBCN $TXN $TSM $MKSI.

  • jojo1480: SMH- Barclay's took a hatchet and lower the price target to many semi manufacturers ie CYMI ENV $KLAC AMKR $AMAT LRCX $MKSI NVLS VSEA etc. Position $ARMH long.
  • sterry: $MKSI - out of the fox hole too quick. Taking my money elsewhere, thanks anyways. I got burned on $AMAT too, a while ago. ugh.
  • sterry: $MKSI - anybody set their alert? It's breaking out (?). Up 3.5% I'm jumped in small (.... "small", since I don't really know what I'm doing yet. :) )
  • Eric1020: So far today been stopped out of CEDC and added to my $MKSI position on a pullback to the 20 day MA. -Eric
  • Eric1020: speaking of not averaging down, just got stopped out of $MKSI after adding to my position earlier today. I added at a level where the loss was very small before the stop, but maybe I'll learn my lesson. -Eric
