gonna be another rough one tomorrow.

^ good call


Sru, did GNVC really close at 1.53 yesterday?

damn, I certainly wish I bought some at that price yesterday.

6/13/2007 10:26:17 AM

^ not that i know of. it had one tick as low as 2.5, but i think that's as low as it got, and that might've been on one large trade.


ok, USU is back where i bought it. this is pissing me off

ok, must be a yahoo finance error

google finance shows something more reasonable.

but check it out, good for a laugh

6/13/2007 10:34:46 AM

it would be crazy if that was true

but yahoofinance is not making much sense right now

no way these intraday returns/yesterdays closing prices are correct:

and i blame only myself for getting burned on this one--i knew it was highly speculative. anything with less than 2 products in late stage clinical (phase II or III) research is a one trick pony, and should be considered highly risky.

also, yesterday i rebought EWZ and upped my position in IAU

6/13/2007 1:19:42 PM

EWZ is up 28% since I bought in last December.

VWO has leveled off a bit, it might be time to sell a bit of it.

6/13/2007 1:27:39 PM

i'm watching UVG. it looks like a solid etf.

i also want to get in FCX, but its a bit fast.

6/13/2007 2:22:49 PM

So I sold a lot of June 80 calls on CLF when it was around 77 just over a week ago. It ballooned up to 92 at its highest. I assumed that I was going to lose my shirt buying them back, so I sold half as many puts at 80 and 1/4 as many puts at 85.

Now its back at 77.

I'll end up owning a good amount of the stock, but fortunately the options premiums are high enough that writing calls a few months out will completely cover my losses.

6/13/2007 2:27:04 PM

straddle that shit yo

6/13/2007 2:28:00 PM

Thats the plan.

I'll wait out the week and hope that the prices will go up and drive up call premiums.

6/13/2007 2:30:28 PM

Morgan Stanley (MS) has been having a very nice year. Up 43.5% in the past 52-weeks, and 2.85% today.

6/13/2007 5:11:49 PM

yahoo finance has been off for the last few days, this morning it said siri was down 22.77 thought I had missed my out

nice call moron, guess that's why i prefer long term investments

6/13/2007 6:55:38 PM

its ok, none of us have a crystal ball

6/14/2007 10:39:14 AM

we could investigate simply going contrarian to statehockey8, based on his daily sentiment.

6/14/2007 10:47:18 AM

same could be said about us and AAPL

6/15/2007 10:08:49 AM

^ what are you talking about AAPL is going to 150-160, maybe splitting...with some bumps here and there...hold on for the ride
* Macbook 3rd Biggest Selling Computer on Amazon
* Leopard 2nd highest selling software on Amazon with Preorders
* Over 1 million safari downloads in 24 hours
* New line of imacs coming within the next week
* New touch wide-screen ipod
* A little gadget known as the Iphone
* Many more things I'm forgetting to mention, but the future for this company is looking bright

if you read the recent posts, you'd know that he was being facetious.

6/15/2007 11:23:18 AM

heard somewhere that Apple is coming out with a phone

6/15/2007 12:04:44 PM

^^^^^ haha, agreed, though i would like to become contrarian to myself, it may bring in some bias to my projections

6/15/2007 5:28:59 PM

im about as passive of an investor as you can get...

the last statement i even looked at was from Dec 31, 2006 simply for tax purposes...

When i took my new job i had to move all my holdings into a company account so I was looking up the new share prices.

Imagine my surprise when i saw Altria had gone from ~85 to 70. Dropped about 20 points in a fucking day due to some court ruling. OUCH.

Basically wiped out all the gainers i've had in '07.

Look at this fucking chart, I thought I was investing in asymptotes for a second. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=MO&t=6m

If you're going to look at your investments so infrequently, you may want to consider mutual funds.

6/17/2007 3:40:27 PM

^^ Weren't you assigned a few shares of KFT the day of the price drop?

6/17/2007 5:10:19 PM

^^ yeah ive got a significant chunk of my money in mutual funds but 4-5 random stocks that ive had a long time with altria being one of them...

^ i have no idea... the stocks are a couple of random holdings outside my edward jones account so perhaps thats the case? i probably need to look into that haha

6/17/2007 5:30:50 PM

I remember the day that MO dropped and I almost shit my pants when I looked at my account.

However, they assigned me enough KFT to cover the drop. Both stocks have gone up since then, so you should be alright.

6/17/2007 6:13:54 PM

quick headlines scan giving me the feeling its a strong start in the morning

6/18/2007 12:10:34 AM

Let's hope!

NUAN hits another 52 week high.





anyone else own NUAN?

6/18/2007 10:29:42 AM

NUAN is pretty badass. did you catch it early?

6/18/2007 4:10:34 PM

got it in a month or two ago at 15.80


AAPL had a damn nice day too

also, maybe now is a good time to look at YHOO. whenever a founder or cofounder returns to manage a company, its stock starts doing well (recent example: Dell)

I mean, I guess up .1% is a strong start? If you ignore it falling flat on it's face with more than 66% of the morning still left to be traded. Then yea, you were right.

6/18/2007 11:12:58 PM

Everyone has the same portfolio

6/18/2007 11:16:33 PM

anyone know when the VMWare IPO is going to happen?

6/19/2007 9:23:35 AM

jdlongNCSU probably does.

6/19/2007 9:28:04 AM

just asked a friend at EMC, he doesn't know either.

i picked up some MS ahead of next weeks earnings (Pete Najarian made this recommendation last night on Fast Money)

6/19/2007 11:36:38 AM

finally dumped OCN, in 6 months, i'm up 1%

Looking at MDR and ATW

Also CROX. I think CROX is ultimately a fad, but i think there is still some steam in the near term.

6/19/2007 2:41:24 PM

Can't say I'm complaining about what GE's doing today.

6/19/2007 5:20:22 PM

Here's my advice.

Small caps, foreign, indexes, EFT's


dont even look at the name, performance, or relevant literature.

Just dump the money in now and buy a yacht when you're 59.5.


In the meantime spend your free time reading about sports and booking your next vacation destination.




P.S. Yes, i got assigned shares of KFT on the day of the drop. Thank god.

6/19/2007 6:55:27 PM

i think you mean ETFs, and i agree with you

6/19/2007 7:42:38 PM

picked up 41 shares of MDR @ 84.07

6/20/2007 9:53:12 AM

^^ lol, clearly I meant EFTs, they are the cutting edge investing strategy....


or it was just a typo and i mean ETFs

NUAN

6/22/2007 9:55:51 AM

Ouch. What happened?

6/22/2007 9:59:58 AM

"Ouch" for the overall markets.
Only thing I had that seriously went up was GOOG--up 2%. Everything else--bleh.
