4/6/2005 5:02:48 PM

what stock should i invest in if i wanna get a 5% return within a few days?

4/6/2005 6:27:00 PM

hahahaha

just go to vegas you dipshit

4/6/2005 6:43:34 PM

longterm buys i would consider...
altho legg mason (LM) has had a bad week or so, its had an amazing run in the past 6 months (since the stock split) their funds all have a higher then normal management fee, yearly income has risen for a good 3 years now
electronics boutique (elbo) another stock with an amazing increase in net income the past three years, recently hit lifetime highs, should be a good play on the momentum.

short term buys
apple (aapl) bottomed out on a morning doji couple days ago...this one might be a little too late, i bought it monday, and has gone up 3.5% since, maybe another day and itll be taken off the table
amazon (amzn) solid company, 10 day MA is making a move thru the 20day

who knows, im probably wrong, but these are whatever is in my trading portfolio right now

4/6/2005 7:09:24 PM

Pfizer, J&J

4/7/2005 12:38:40 AM

apple was a good long term buy like a year or so ago. ipod, niggas

4/7/2005 12:41:03 AM

yea, thats why i put apple in the short term list, its only good for 2 or 3 days...if u want that 5% increase

4/7/2005 10:24:25 AM

actually, hold off on Pfizer for now

4/7/2005 12:27:31 PM

I'm up 6% in 2 days.

4/7/2005 12:43:38 PM

good job, whatd you get?
i went in on GTRC guitar center for another short term play, earlier today based again on the 10 day MA breaking thru...alraedy up 1.75% for the day...im hoping itll pay off nicely

4/7/2005 3:11:50 PM

great

rookies read one book

and now he is dropping MA and thinking he can make turns

just go to vegas

4/7/2005 3:38:22 PM

Hey my wife works at Biogen Idec and they pulled a new drug b/c a couple people died from complications. The stock tanked 40% in one day. The thing is, they don't know what caused the deaths, they are just playing it really safe and running the drug through more tests. It will probably be back out around end of the year or so. Before that the stock was one of the strongest biotech stocks over the last 15 years. If you are looking to invest, I'd take a look at their stock.

4/7/2005 3:42:41 PM

rookie? hmmmm, ok if you say so. ive been investing and trading for almost 4 years.
plus its more in the range of 10+ books, and working at a brokerage firm
and yes i agree, vegas is the way to go, but i dont really have the time for that right now

Over the past week the BIG houses (Goldman, Lehman, B of A, Merrill, Salomon) Have bought a shitload of june puts, 1050 1100 1125 lines. (SPX) When these guys are buying puts hedge long positions they sell calls to pay for the puts. They didnt. B of A alone bought 40,000 June 1050 put contracts ( one contract is for 100 options) either a hedge, or a 11 million dollar bet. We are near the bottom of our three week range (1200 1168) and vol is popping. Today we sold off 14 on S&P a day after encouraging FED minutes. Summer is coming, put on your shorts.

4/13/2005 9:53:02 PM

^ aha, now she knows her shit

4/13/2005 10:02:51 PM

^ of course she does, she's a pro


^^ i think the summer will be seasonally low, but volume will be relatively high compared to most 2nd Q's. also, i think we're in for a better than expected Q3.

4/13/2005 11:41:10 PM

Interested in playing around with this game, but don't know where to start.

What books are must reads before I start? Keep in mind I don't even know how to easily go about even buying stock..

(also, ill probably only do about 500 dollars if I do anything at all.. Most of my money is making decent returns with Vanguard)

4/14/2005 9:33:03 AM

^in that case, I suggest derivatives

4/14/2005 9:45:27 AM

^ Well, Im really looking to just get some experience and have some fun learning about the market..

4/14/2005 9:47:36 AM

I really want to have the time to sit down and read some information about investing

I think there is a lot of money to be made, and my parents never really dabbled in it, and it sounds like it could be interesting.

4/14/2005 12:40:27 PM

so is a 5% increase in a share price not that common among all stocks?

4/14/2005 12:49:12 PM

^ that question doesn't mean much, unless you apply that to a time delta.

4/14/2005 1:40:36 PM

I think there is a lot of money to be made lost

4/14/2005 1:44:41 PM

well, suppose i buy a stock on a monday....how common is it for a stock to increase to 5% by friday?

4/14/2005 1:55:13 PM

^ Depends on the stock. Usually blue chips don't vary that much over a week.

Options is where its at.

4/14/2005 2:35:15 PM

if you want to get into options, make sure and read Natenberg's book on Option Pricing Theory

4/14/2005 3:30:13 PM

Natenberg ain't got shit on me. I can buy and sell his whole family.

4/14/2005 3:31:50 PM

yea, but can you call or put his whole family?

Its been a shitty week for the market in general.

4/14/2005 5:11:28 PM

yea, shitty week overall, as far as 5% in a week, its def possible but requires a little bit of time and research...as far as my short term trading goes, i shoot for 3-3.5% in a week
for short term stuff, id look into any book on technical analysis, or japanese candle sticks. theyve worked great for me for the most part...
but the thing is, if youre only going to play with 500, then you might want to consider something else. cause with 5% a week, youre only making 25 bucks, then subtract commission which is at least a 14 dollars round trip

4/14/2005 7:59:14 PM

Shitty week?
If the market moves there is opportunity to make $. Don't think that the mkt has to go up to go make $. Movement pays the bills. Shitty weeks are when we trade in a 20 pt range drifting around. Good luck on your technicals. I Keep an eye on pivot points and levels but nobody trades that shit. Learn to spread. If you are serious i'd sign up for a quote service and just watch the markets. How prices move how do different mkts move in relation to one another. Learn what moves when the S&P moves. Watch what happens when news hits the mkt. You will develop a feel for the markets. 1# above all develop money management, Know before you trade how much pain you are willing to taste. Most new traders keep loosing positions way too long and end up taking it in the face. I traded spoos while I was at state, I spent months scratching trades before I finally found my stride. Quantify everything and trade with discipline. This is a 50/50 game throw in commissions and the odds are against you. You are only successful if your winners are bigger than your losers.

4/14/2005 8:49:46 PM

Feel smarter now? Yes, you can make money on the movement of the market.

However, it has been a shitty week for people who own stocks as investments and do nothing else with the market. While I make the majority of my bank of off options trading and dividends, its still disappointing to see the dow drop like it has over the past few days.

4/14/2005 8:58:02 PM

And for Christ's sake use limit orders, nothing worse than getting a shitty fill.

4/14/2005 8:58:30 PM

so how long before you are a millionaire?

Im a pretty damn good engineer but I think I would have made a better stock broker or lawyer, the game is just much more interesting. Manipulating people is easier than manipulating physics. Thinking seriously about starting over and having a shot at either.

4/14/2005 8:59:44 PM

Josh-- what options do you trade?

4/14/2005 9:45:19 PM

yes theres definitely money to make when everything drops...i made $$ in my short term account, and lost $$ in my investment account, so overall ive actually lost money this week

4/15/2005 12:50:55 PM

-38.5 points on the week, xxx,xxx.xx in profits, Taste it.

4/15/2005 8:49:28 PM

the reason i specifically asked about 5% is because i have $8000 trading cash available...5% a week is $400, minus of course commission
