Cisco Systems Inc.
(CSCO) is forecast to post earnings of 36 cents a share excluding stock option costs in the fiscal 3rd quarter!
 
To those that bought SKNY :yes::yes::Dand made $$$.
My other penny pick SPNG:yes::yes::yes:

what do you like about your new pick? Just trying to get an idea of what you look at when you evaluate a stock especially a penny one that can be so volatile

Peace L2FB Booty. I did not cash in on SKNY. I woke up one day and it was up over 50%:eek: My questions the same as Northside's.
I'll drop some PS3 & Xbox money into some penny plays. :yes:

J isnt that MACD providing some resistance for csco to break? not saying it cant but just a quick look thats what I would think. Then again since it appears to be a chart from 05?????? maybe im wrong :lol:
 
Kicking myself for getting long DUG a bit too early last week, but will hang in there. Liked the general stock market tape today, though. S&Ps down a bit tonight. Still think this market's looking toppy.
 
Ah ...pennies can be insanely volatile, one day you're up big, next the company is defunct lol. btw, not sure if anyone has been paying attention to CNOA, sucker has had a nice increase sine i dropped it here a while back, & the future bodes well for it. OILs will the thing to be in, you want to play penny stocks, why not them play penny options?? for example today COP(conoco-phillips) May 90s were going for .35-.65 early in the day, closed at .95, play calls on the majors especially SU/RIG. Commodites will roar back w/ a vengeance...sad but i'm hoping for a heavy hurricane season in the gulf, knock some refiners out cause a little panic, watch oil blossom!!

I was looking at the calls earlier today and really didn't like what I saw. They're pretty expensive, with COP calls trading at 86% of historical implieds. I was really thinking about the May 200s on OIH, just in case it was gonna keep running, but the vols had spiked considerably and look like they're coming back down. Didn't have the time to structure anything fancy to mitigate the expensiveness.
 
Very risky especially for noobs. I can give lots of sad stories about options, especially pennies. It requires more work, dedication, commitment to the trading plan and cash reserve for draw downs.

At least with pennies they can pretty much hold them forever. With options they could be dead the same day. Killing all hopes.

If one had bought one of them GOOG penny calls before earnings. They could have easily made anywhere from 12 - 60,000 depending on the amount purchases.

Well I inquired about TIE earlier and it looks like its a winner up over $2! I am getting more confident in my picks. I did not buy though settled funds low.I got some change for a penny play though. Some lucky mofo just won $4mill on a nickle slot in A.C. Show me the penny slots please...I gots 3000 pennies!
 
Why don't you guys become investors instead of traders?

We get nightmares about what the dot com days did to our portfolios. Take a look back at the carnage. Look at BVSN, NT, CMGI, JNPR, etc.

Take a look at recent day companies in the home building sector. There are quite a few bankruptcies there also and they were doing so great a year ago.
 
off whats your next pick? on the penny side?

I have never ever ever attempted to pick a penny stock:smh: My picks right now are TIE & KHD. I was rolling with Mr. Love2F Black BOOTY penny plays. His pick SKNY was successfull and he dropped a new one, SPNG, yesterday I believe.

Petroleo Brasileiro (PBR) stock just split. Does this mean anything?

Ahem..let me take a crack at this:rolleyes:. In PBRs case the company price was $126 and was split to $63 giving investors twice the amount of shares. Usually this is viewed as confidence by the company to attract new investors in hopes the price will rise quickly.:D

(offwork now backs away from the podium for an expert to reiterate)
 
Ok, so splitting usually means they want to get more investors in because of the better price, correct? But technically, it dosent mean a thing to the stock?

Yes but the thing is not guaranteed to blow. Its not a reverse split so thats a positive. Hows the volume after the split?
 
Platinum made a move today so a CNBC robot decided to mention we need this stuff for jewelery and catlytic converters. He aslo mentioned palladium is a great substitute...and PAL goes up .12.

What it really means is now new investors who were'nt inclines prior to purchase at 130 can get it at 65, same will happen in 2 weeks for SU, there will likely be a runup in advance to split., OIL is looking very strong, news out of Chrysler offering 3.00 gas for 3 years is an extreame bullish signal..
 
Damn yall be dropping some jewels up in here! i have a question, im about to get layed off and was wondering what to do with this 401k (that im losing money on as we speak) transfer it to an ira roth, roth? someone told me to transfer it to fidelity. but i have no clue of what stocks to go with to make a profit (mainly the lost money from the 401k or to weather the storm (solid stocks) can someone help me please? :confused::confused:
 
For the penny and pink sheet players. What you'll know about CNEX?

I think GA should report a good quarter next week. It's a Chinese online game company.
Stock had a nice run on the 5th when they hit a mile stone in the number of concurrent users. Its pulled back 2 points since then. After the IPO the stock had fallen from 19 where I bought it in the IPO to below 10. Now up to 15+

Like you I'm laid off but I'm letting it sit where it is (Fidelity).
If you have to move it, I'd convert it to a Roth (if you can).
I wouldn't invest my 401k $ into individual stocks but instead go with mutual funds.
Check out my post below for more information.
