Hey Bandits!
With the market having settled into a mid-day trading range on this options-expiration Friday, I felt this would be an appropriate time to put up a few items.
First… How’s the new site working out for you guys? I want your feedback for ease of getting around, anything you don’t understand, etc. Add a comment below this post or use the Contact Form and let me know!
Second… Discussion – last night Tom shared a great idea in the comments section. This is exactly what I’d like to see happening here in the Bandit Hideout on a regular basis. It’s open 24/7, and any trade ideas are welcome. All I ask is that you keep in mind that daytrading or scalping-related comments are not very effective in this blog format, as the timing is so critical for those that it should be done elsewhere since this is not a chat room. But any trades you’re eyeing for timeframes of a couple days on up to a month or two are great, and my hope is that you’ll share them here with the Bandits.
Third… Feature added: On the heels of that last discussion note, a feature has been added which should make it very easy to keep up with the conversation. You’ll now see a checkbox under the posts which allow you to subscribe to the comments for that post.
This is what it will look like:
So, once you’ve posted a comment, you can be notified via email for follow-up comments left by others. This is perfect for being notified of new ideas left by others, or simply that your comment has been responded to by someone else. You can also remove yourself from comment subscriptions easily, and the link you’ll use to do that will look like this:
Last but definitely not least…
Thanks for a great first FULL week in The Bandit Hideout! Let’s keep building on this to improve it! Your feedback is always welcomed, and your participation in the discussion is always valued.
Jeff, when I am logged in under Recent Posts and I click on the Trading Lesson I get a message that I am not logged in and do not have access. For some reason I am logged in for the purposes of viewing the Bandit Broadcast, but not for some of the other posts that are listed.
I am still trying to figure out the first page that I should go to so that I can sign on and have access to everything for the remainder of the site visit. Thanks in advance for the help.
Hey Gary,
I wonder why that’s happening… Tests on our side (even just now) do not require multiple logins, only one for the entire session. All the login boxes point to the same place, so logging in from the homepage or from any other area of the site should result in full access for you.
Let me double-check that with our developer, but you’re the first to report this and I’m unable to replicate it on my end. I’ll report back here when I find out. A new website & backend obviously come with some glitches, so thank you for your patience while we work out the little things like this.

Gary, our developer made a suggestion related to the browser version you are using, which is that you clear your cookies and see if that helps. Go to Tools, Internet Options, and you should see it there. Please give that a try and let me know if you still have trouble.

Jeff, it seems to be working better now. I am not sure if you did something, or if I am doing something different.
Thanks
Jeff, I bought BAC on Friday to play a bounce. Any ideas on what level it may bounce to? 200 day average is around 15.50. There is gap up around 18.
Your thoughts are appreciated.
Hi Sue!
You can post questions/comments anywhere in The Hideout. Each post (such as the nightly Bandit Broadcast) has a comment box beneath it, and you can simply type it in there and click the button and it’ll show up. I’ll check each of them, so if your comment is to me I’ll gladly respond, or if it’s a general comment to the community then you’ll get some responses from them as well. But you can do that anytime and on any post.
BAC I think could bounce back to the $16 area without too much trouble, if of course the market will stabilize and bounce as well (which I think will be a requirement). The $18-area gap is much more aggressive, and I think if it gets there it will take considerable time. The stock looks to have changed character by falling out of its trading range recently on heavy volume, so I would probably look to exit most or all in the $16 neighborhood and reassess at that point.
Hope this helps (and BAC cooperates for you!),
Jeff
