im already fully monetized. wouldn't chase it now, except for a day's trade here or there.

i've been keeping an eye on the nasdaq unusual volume list. sometimes i can catch a stock that shows up several days in a row without the price spiking.

JTEC just showed up on it, but it already had a price spike. i'm chasing it for now. hopefully it will offset the hit i took on RHGP.

starting to get slammed at work -- so since i'm not going to have time to watch it this week, i may just sideline all my activity.

10/1/2007 11:58:31 AM

It might be a bit late but I'm considering getting some CROX sometime soon.

10/1/2007 11:59:30 AM

CROX too scary for me. i'm just going to admit i missed the boat on it. would rather speculate on Under Armor ahead of Christmas/4Q

10/1/2007 12:00:56 PM

According to my girlfriend (who works in a toy store), Crox is going to release 5 new shoes in the next 2 months.
She was my initial info about them...$80 ago.

10/1/2007 12:04:03 PM

^ I read somewhere there was a new clothing line they are going to put out soon in addition to more shoes, just stay away from the escalators....Just curious, but the stock isn't even $80, how'd you get it $80 ago?

^CROX split June 15, 2007.

Also, he's saying he didn't buy it when it was $6 a share. He should have, but didn't.

They also completely bought the Jibbitz line, and they're manufacturing new bracelets and hats to go with the jibbitz. Their new shoes are going to include a new leather line, canvas line and suede line, so that they can be worn to work. They also have fleece lined crocs for winter now.

The tagline for their new clothing line is "Rock on with your Crocs on"

10/1/2007 12:42:24 PM

If I recall correctly I was informed about CROX when it was around $40/share.

10/1/2007 12:44:40 PM

Yes, you were

10/1/2007 12:47:21 PM

CPSL, Chinese Precision Steel, Inc. Ive been watching it for the past week or so...Hit close to $13 then dropped to ~7.30.

I've just been curious about these Chinese stocks with the 2008 olympics being in Beijing, China.

Any thoughts?

10/1/2007 1:25:50 PM

A lot of these Chinese stocks are exploding.
I'm wondering if they're today's 'internet bubble'.

10/1/2007 1:44:17 PM

^ that's my take on it -- look at JRJC, it's done that 4 or 5 times in the past couple of weeks. Scary.

Damn, GRMN is taking a plunge today.

Also, picked up 48 shares of MICC @ 86.80

Ouch!
Still though, even with that I'm sad I didn't invest in it.

10/1/2007 1:52:30 PM

XOM is a few cents from it's 52-week high.

10/1/2007 4:00:30 PM

even with the big market runup, i got killed today...i own both Garmin (GRMN) and Navteq (NVT)

10/1/2007 4:48:24 PM

thread broken?

10/1/2007 4:54:23 PM

gonna sell NVT if I find anywhere else I want to put the money. Otherwise, I'll just hold it for a few more months until the buyout at $78 (it's at $76.xx right now).

i thought about jumping on some more shares of GRMN today on the 10.2% dip (I just find it hard to believe that NVT getting bought by Nokia is THAT bad of news for GRMN). I still might do it...

but GRMN is already easily my largest holding (like, over double the size of my next largest holding)...I hate to put all of my eggs in one basket.

10/1/2007 5:35:00 PM

^ Not a bad idea. I might watch GRMN and pick some up by the end of the week.

I sold all of mine at ~$50.

10/1/2007 5:54:43 PM

dammit, GRMN!

10/2/2007 10:02:59 AM

ouch that sucks

10/2/2007 2:28:24 PM

CTDC has actually rebounded nicely. Sorry for the douchebag comments on the last page.

10/2/2007 3:18:02 PM

bought 10 BIDU at 100
sold today at 320
more than trippled my money in 6 months not bad wish i would have invested more

10/2/2007 3:31:30 PM

Nice article on coming up with the amount you need for retirement

10/2/2007 3:37:35 PM

for some reason the thread is broken for me on my work laptop...can't read postings.

maybe when it gets to the next page it will work for me again.

...picked up some SSRX

10/2/2007 3:53:28 PM

You using firefox?

10/2/2007 3:57:25 PM

i'm surprised (and from what i know about it, disappointed) that Garmin didn't buy out Navteq themselves, especially after Tom-Tom bought out the other mapping company.

10/2/2007 4:02:18 PM

so last we talked about this, everyone's 401k had tanked.

how's everyone looking after the recent runup?

mine:

Personal Rate of Return from 01/01/2007 to 10/01/2007 is 15.8%

10/2/2007 5:38:55 PM

401K - 11.9 %
Non retirement mutual funds - 13.85 %

10/2/2007 5:43:25 PM

6.9%

10/2/2007 7:11:08 PM

Somewhere between 12 and 15 depending on how I figure it.

10/2/2007 7:17:08 PM

Oh yeah, the 13.85 is gross

10/2/2007 7:21:11 PM

In my Scottrade account (non-retirement), I'm up 22.53% so far in 2007 on what I'm holding, and up 22.69% so far this year on what I've sold.

I was up 25.xx% on holdings for the year, but the last 2 days have been painful.


I don't know what I'm up in my IRA...I was just thinking the other day that I oughta check on it. I'm sure it's a decent return, but nothing spectacular. It's mostly S&P 500 index, with small cap, mid cap, and international/emerging market indices.

what in the hell? posts (including mine) are disappearing from this thread.

10/2/2007 7:45:40 PM

an improper ghost edit will make posts dissapear

10/2/2007 7:52:09 PM

somebody tell me more about this ghost edit

10/2/2007 8:32:40 PM

It's just html to get rid of the "edited on..."

10/2/2007 9:21:23 PM

I haven't see any posts disappearing, but perhaps they did and I just never saw them in the first place?

10/2/2007 10:14:30 PM

yeah there was a whole bit about YTD 401k performance after the runup

10/2/2007 10:17:22 PM

Retirement acct 1: +18%
RA 2: +9.5 % ( 50% if you count employer matching as a gain )
Stocks: +46%

10/2/2007 10:38:53 PM

http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2007/10/03/ap4180518.html
"Google Upgrades Corporate E-Mail Product"

Wonder if that will have an effect on the stock tomorrow.

10/3/2007 12:40:39 AM

YTD 23% gain Roth,
40% gain stocks
and then a bunch of cisco options at 19, 22
Good year so far, I would say... Just gotta lock some of this in real soon I am thinking.

10/3/2007 6:27:52 AM

this thread normalize yet?

10/3/2007 10:03:16 AM

hmm.. I still don't see any missing posts after my ghost edit.

but yeah, i did fuck it up.

any opinions on SBUX?

they're down a lot off of their highs in the last year, down 20% since the spring. I can't really see it hanging around so low for too long.

10/3/2007 10:29:03 AM

tempted to get some FXI, just to get my hands in china a bit

Any thoughts?
