This is a time to sell and recover your losses for MPEL before it go
down again!!!  I sold all my shares and recovered all my losses and
even make profits.  We need to sell before it will free fall again.
What goes up must goes down!  Buy low and sell High.  It will drop to
16s again people so sell to get in at 16s.  Good-Luck!

For your info..the stock was never up. It ipod at $23 and came down to
$14. So according to your theory it should cross $23 before you should
sell it. Have you also heard buy high and sell higher ????? Also look
at this way, china dropped by about 5% and this chinese stock went up.
So thats a clue that sell pressure is over. And also this move up has
taken out lot of stop limit orders along its way.

In less than a month you have the casino opening news coming up and
that catalyst will move this stock higher and watch out the volume.
Its 11 AM and already 2 million + .

I agree with you Ash! No way you get out of this train now. We are
going to $23 easily after then opening. Mutual Funds are coming to get
their stake and we all be benefited. Hang in there.

I agree.  I can't imagine though that it will be all "up and up"
though.  The "train" may have some "loops" in the track and feel more
like a roller coaster - appropriate for the summer.  This said, no
reason to sell at all this year if you can avoid it, unless
positioning down, taking profits, etc.  Surely, those Macau numbers
perked everyone's attention.  With a nice and steady-as-she-goes open
and summer, expected revenue and a smile or two from the PR
department, we could see the initiation of several "buys" in September
that could lead to the same run we saw our other gaming friends take
last year, comparatively speaking of course.  At the least, it will
keep it steady.  Open City on time, sell some condos / subconcession
and keep the mochas rockin' and rollin', and is not unrealistic to see
this stock three times as much in 2010  or sooner?  The figure would
bring it inline with that of LVS / WYNN.  It'll be great to see.

Na na na na na ..... no selling at this time.... the market is
down....chinese stocks down....all my profile except for this kid is
in RED. The only green...beautiful bud. Very very very long on MPEL.

In the last two days MPEL has been going up and I bet tomorrow that
this stock will go down!!!!  So make your profits while you can and
buy in tomorrow or when it goes lower to 16s.  There is plenty of time
and opportunities to buy this stock but make your profits while you
can.

Care to back that up with some data or news?
Remember, trading isn't the same as investing.

Data.....here take a look at ....WYNN, MGM, LVS are all in RED today!
What goes up must go down!  I am not asking you all to sell and never
buy back; I am telling you to make your profit while you can and buy
in when it lower.  There is plenty of time and opportunities to buy
this pearl, MPEL...!!

the volume will probably break 4 mill today, i doubt you'd want to
sell now

the volume will probably break 4 mill today, i doubt you'd want to

guys I don't understand one thing???   If the volume is too
much...that does mean that for every share that is being
bought....some moron is selling right?? I don't even understand
overbought and oversold.... too confused with these concepts???

Good you ask that question? i don t get it either! hope somebody get
an answer to that.

Sells can comprise of profit taking, short covers and genuine buys.
Combine all 3 you wouldnt have problem getting sellers of this. The
reason that there are not enough sellers, is bumping it higher.

Look at this short interest on this stock. More than 3 million short.

in the last 2 months shorts increased their position from 1 million to
3 million

shhh, don't let the shorts in on it yet, ash. best to let them know
after it's too late. ;) looks like we have a squeeze on our hands,
doesn't it?

Obviously some people bought at $19 and want to escape as soon as
possible and will not look back.

I truly regret that I did not have the guts to buy at $14.6 and had to
buy later at $16.5. But 10%+ in one week is not bad. Cannot complain
too much.

right now it is clear that mpel is currently overbought. 15% increase
just isn't justified by lack of company specific data.i would expect a
3-5% correction  in the very near future.  by no means is this an
indication to get out of your positions though! just don't run for the
hills when this stock takes a downturn when the hype dies down.
increased volume pushed us through levels of resistance at 18.50.
institutional support is still at least a few months away, as they
will want to see some fundamentals first despite seeing MPEL as a well-
connected player in the Macau market. once institutional kicks in ...
breakout time :)

That is obvious I hope for everyone. Every stock having a run of 15%
in 2 days will have a correction down at least of 5%. But after the
selling and profit taking the waters get calm and the stock should go
up little by little and not in increments of 15%. So sit back and
relax.

Daytraders may want to sell, but if you want to take advantage of the
huge upside over the long term... stay long.  Consider this... the
market for US casinos is approximately 400 - 550 million (i.e., the
population of the US and maybe Canada), whereas the market for Macau
is at least 2.4 billion (i.e., 1.4 billion in China and 1 billion in
India) - maybe more considering other surrounding countries'
population and the fact that there is no place to gamble in that
region of the world other than Macau.  Thus, the Macau market makes
the US market (i.e., Vegas and Atlantic City) look like small
potatoes.  And given MPEL is the only pure play on Macau, this is a no-
brainer... I will be in this one for a long time.  Good luck!

This is interesting... Does anyone here at least have a 3 to 5 year
persepective on this stock?  I guess that's my investment strategy of
holding for the long-term but really...

there are people who like to gamble their own money whether it be
$0.01, $0.25, $100's or $1M's, casinos are built to cater that need,
and for all purposes, people go to casinos to spend/gamble their
money.  It's one of the few niche investments you know that people are
definitely willing to spend their earnings on gambling not included
all the other immenities associate with gambling (hotel, food,
shopping, transportation).

But I guess if you're a daytrader, I can see the need for your buy/
sell activities especially if that's your f/t job.  I'm glad I built a
position at $21 and luckily at $14; the prospects for MPEL in Macau is
good, the future prospects of MPEL I'm futurizing is good too(i.e
Singapore), and if you look at WYNN, LVS, and MGM comparably, MPEL is
a cheap investment right now.

I'm in for the long, I have my exit strategy but I think it's way to
early for profit taking and to risky of a gamble for me.  But hey,
good luck on your trades :)

The smart stock trader is to take profits when you can especially at
over 15% gain!  And then buy in when the stock go lower!  Watch
tomorrow this stock will fall and your profits will be in RED.
Looking it is falling now........from it high today!  Sell now and buy
in lower.  Don't be too greedy b/c you will loose.

or sell some other stock and back up the truck

Shorts back.  If inst start buying I smell short squeeze.

It sounds like someone who sold their share too low, now regret it.
Crown Macau is going to open in 3 weeks, and you will not see 16's
anymore in your life again.
Personally, I look at those shorters in a good way. They will be those
who will buy to cover their short position and pump up the price. So,
more shorts now, better upward price in the future. Go, go, go Mpel.
