My 401K's "aggressive fund" was too conservative, so I looked to see where the aggressive fund allocates it's money and just bought all the individual funds through my 401K, except I replaced bonds with something else.

its a blood letting. not selling anything at these levels.

7/24/2007 10:12:53 AM

blood letting?

7/24/2007 10:16:41 AM

i think anytime the headlines are all "oh noes its the subprime", its a buying opportunity:

GOOG & BIDU trade between 8x and 12x of the most recent quarter's annualized sales.

Perfect World's IPO price would make it only 4x its most recent recent quarter's annualized sales.

Assuming the open market price (the price where you and I can even touch the stock) is double the $12 to 14 price, i wonder if it still has another 50% upside on the day of the IPO.

ok, couldn't stay out of BIDU - back in just under 183

7/24/2007 1:02:33 PM

Ouch.

7/24/2007 4:59:59 PM

Seconded.

7/24/2007 5:02:10 PM

people couldnt dump those REIT's fast enough today


I love the idea of getting into real estate soon, but i wanna make sure all the ship jumpers are offboard first

7/24/2007 6:13:10 PM

twas a bloody day

7/24/2007 7:08:46 PM

maybe a bit of a bounce back tomorrow - maybe not to previous highs but not another drop like today?
just looking at a few prices in after hours, seems like a bunch of buying...

but then again, im retarded...

7/24/2007 7:40:18 PM

AAPL stuck it in me dry

7/25/2007 2:52:01 AM

sold half of my AAPL yesterday.

JOYG is giving it to me dry.

i don't suppose anyone owned AMZN ? i wonder if people overlooked it because Bezos looks and sounds like the kid in grade school that everyone picked on.

My aunt was telling me Monday that she had bought some Amazon options and was awaiting their announcement. Looks like she made it to step 3.

7/25/2007 10:00:40 AM

ok to hell with it. i'm bailing on KMT and JOYG and taking my losses. sitting on the cash until VMWare IPOs.

7/25/2007 10:52:19 AM

AMZN: up 115% since the start of 2007.
Who would have seen that coming?
DAMN.

ETV http://www.eatonvance.com/mutual_funds/fund_info_closed.asp?fund=ETV&h=3
and ETW http://www.eatonvance.com/mutual_funds/fund_info_closed.asp?fund=ETW&h=3
are two solid dividend paying ETFs that are approaching 52 week lows. Market value is dropping at a much higher rate than liquidization value so I would expect a rebound before too much longer.

I'd buy more if I weren't already so heavy on it.

7/25/2007 3:06:13 PM

straddles implying $30 move to either side. i might get my ass handed to me

http://www.cnbc.com/id/19930410

7/25/2007 4:21:07 PM

it shot up $50 afterhours

sold it all just under 220. might get back in if i can afford it.

should i name my first born "Baidu" or "BIDU" ?



[Edited on July 25, 2007 at 4:57 PM. Reason : ]

GOOG is killing me.

7/25/2007 5:11:27 PM

glad i only sold half my AAPL.

i will likely take PWRD for a ride tomorrow.

still anxiously awaiting word on the VMWare IPO.

btw, the BIDU winnings will only help offset the beatings i took on names like JOYG and KMT in recent days.

7/25/2007 5:36:29 PM

can anyone recommend an aggressive mutual or index fund for me?

7/25/2007 6:38:42 PM

agressive mutual fund:
CGMFX (one i currently like)
or you can search morningstar.com

aggressive index funds:
VTI (total us market)
VWO (emerging markets)
EFA (developed ex us markets)
obviously the aggressive measure is determined by the amount you allocate to vwo & efa

lets see how this pans out




[Edited on July 26, 2007 at 11:06 AM. Reason : PWRD]

7/26/2007 11:05:55 AM

I bought 700 @ 20.30 and then sold at 21.00 30 minutes later for a net gain of 473.75 after commission.

7/26/2007 11:54:27 AM

^ that's cause you're a baller. i'm a third of that volume.

7/26/2007 12:15:04 PM

Don't worry, that doesn't come close to covering my GOOG loss last week.

7/26/2007 12:32:46 PM

monetized @ 20.53

letting the house money ride - hope when some of the traders come back from lunch they drive it up.

...got to get back to work before i get fired

7/26/2007 12:37:46 PM

back in at 20.50

How far do you guys see this thing going?
I only have a certain amount of money I can throw into it. Trying to decide how I want to split it up between this and VMWare. Suggestions?

you risked almost $15 grand for less than a $500 gain? wow. must be nice to have play money

7/26/2007 1:04:04 PM

I wouldn't say risked it. I doubt that the stock would have hit $0 today.

I do it all the time just based on the charts. Usually buying options, but PWRD doesn't have them yet.

7/26/2007 1:06:10 PM

i left under $600 sitting in it -- which is house money. other than that it doesn't look too exciting. i was expecting it to move a lot more. need to work the day job the rest of the work day.

i guess it was a good trial run/anxiety conditioning for the VMWare IPO.

7/26/2007 1:55:32 PM

Markets down 2%...

*cue running around screaming*

7/26/2007 2:03:58 PM

might be a good time to enter CHL and/or CBG

7/26/2007 2:08:28 PM

That would make a nice slide on a playground.

7/26/2007 2:24:55 PM

Yeesh, glad I don't have AKAM anymore.

7/26/2007 2:28:25 PM
