I closed green all around today. Except for COINOh well hold. I need to read whats up with these warrants.
well...if you got the COINW warrants you have 1 month to decide what action to take.....sell or excercise...they Called them in & honestly i was a bit shocked but see it as a positive for the common shares. The W warrants are convertible into common stock at an exercise price of $8.25. Each warrant exercised will receive 1.276 shares of common stock., so if you own 100 COINW's $825 will get you 127 shares of COIN, add in the cost base of the warrants & your price for the total rises, but still maybe a good price in the long haul....personally I'm going to try & convert my W warrants...COIN has good potential & the truth is the removal of these W warrants helps COIN move ahead & also could be an attempt to beat shorters...
That little pink i dropped here should be moving soon...we'll see.....
Figured most were playing the COINZs, rather than the Ws
HAHA,,,right the FED continues to buy em up on the cheap..lol
$$900B given out so far, next comes the plummet of the US $..
stay tuned...lol
^^^^^^Thank you for that breakdown on the warrants. I am like most I hold COINZ but should still profit.
You asked who next to fall earlier. Im gonna guess Wamu since they are the bastard child of one of the already fallen banks. It amazes me how they keep this Us$ pumped up. Precious metals down, crude oil down,property down! How long can this go on?

Damn wamu is the account i like to use the most, I know it was wld to get something in the mail that sai thanks for sticking with us, I think it was from ing but i was like daaamn is it that serious. Especially when i dont have an account therebut the wife does i think have a savings account.
One there is no "run on the bank" all should be fine, if WAMU goes belly up you're still under FDIC protection for deposits, so while it'll be a pain in the ass to file papers etc, least the funds are going to be yours in time...IT IS VERY SERIOUS...many more regional banks have to fold up, we havent really seen the full blast as yet, NYC is taking the brundt of it nowbut when you start seeing the small regionals fold & consolidate it'll be a sign that things aremoving in the right direction....
Good pick on COINZ tho it appeard they are toying w/ them right now...i'll have to see what i do w/ my COINW's.....
Market looks like its wants to go south today,,,,we'll see Goldman & Morgan Stanley being beaten up good....look out below
Man the shorts pegged em so right, to beleieve the crooked FED & SEC wanted to tighten shorting regulation ...lolShorts must be allowed in a market...things always get too inflated...
good luck to those hangin in
luckily I donn tkeep much in wamu but still i like the way they handle thier online accounts but they need a way to send wires for us, (dumb asses) I get alerts on coinz when it drops more than 7or 8% i saw it @ 2.00 at one point it was over 3 when i got my alert today.
Have you still been making options moves? you need to keep us lil people up on those playa
good lookin on the info though
No real heavy movements of late, Puts on GS/MS is about it, the normals players have become too eratic, AGs swing WILDLY every day, Gold is on a rebound but has been pummeled.,.. tough out there right now
I'm sure they did... I may have missed the boat.
Bump!! We need some updated info! Where is Tripster?? I did member search and couldn't find him. Is he still around?
bump...
Call me naive but are there still opportunities to get paid...
RIMM..$70, AGU..$64,MOS..$76,FDX..$81,X..$87! Mostly all picks dropped in this thread earlier(not by me but by good men who dont even want the praise). Every single one of these had a run made money pulled backand ran again and so on. Now most are near 52 week lows.Im not trying to call a bottom but....one Friday or Sundaynight Congress is gonna pull the thumb out they ass and when they do $$$$$$$$$$$$
"Wish I had me some more money I'd buy me some better luck"

Still a bit scary out there, but everyone seems to suggest that financial stocks should see the biggest run up. Also, if confidence returns, the growth story will continue. Thus, I still like the future of commodity stocks as someone mentioned. Also, I did pull profits BEFORE the market took major hits (I was lucky). Thus, I am ready to jump back into the pool in good shape. But first, I want to see how the Asian markets respond in the next few hours. I will adapt my strategy accordingly.
I am also watching mineral rich Africa very closely. IMHO, this is where the action will be in coming years, especially if currency dies. People will run to those hard assets found in the motherland (mostly still in the ground). I hope Africa will be ready and in control by then. Granted, they still have a ways to go, so there is plenty of time for research.
Oh SHIT, it look like it won't pass. The stock market is going to hell.
The plunge continues,,,tough times are here & they'l likely be more to come...i hate to say it but, may be best to hold cash until something settles, seems like every position you could tnter into could eb down drasticlly in minutes...
be careful out there...
SHORTS must be loving this though,...
Put players as well..
Agreed, I was ready to load up when the bill passed for a quick pop in the financials. But then, I watched the votes and saw my real-time streams tank. So many major stocks are at or near their 52-week low right now, that we can afford to wait for a clear sign of an uptrend before getting back in.
This reasons for this financial crisis has been discussed for years on several doomsayer web sites. Thus, I was not all that surprised when it happened. DAMN, DOW is down about 650-700 right now and NASDAQ nearly 160-200. There will be a lot of wealth lost today, but like in 2001, I will keep an eye out for the strong recovery of quality names. While others panic, I wait.
which stocks u guys getting?
im looking at option buys on a few of the well knows, appl down almost 20% TODAY, goog was up today but is under 400 like i told my buddy if there is company you really believe in I think its time to buy in on long term stuff. thats just me though
man i dunno how much more of this i can take, calm went down 30%, and agu is falling like crazy. i dunno should i just sell and take the L, or do you think these will come back. i really wish i was buying stocks now instead of july.
What do you guys think of the dow 30 i mean bigger companies like wal-mart and microsoft should be okay despite the market
proctor and gamble are still goin to make money u know?
also wat ya'll think about the fannie and freddie mac thing? it seems like the government wont let them fail.
or Aig and WB bank what the deal with that?

fellas i really need ur help(prepared to offer pussy pics for advice......) i was thinking of investing in some fnm(fannie mae) and fre(freddie mac) stock, how do i get started and are your opinions on this....am i doing the right thing
I feel your pain, CALM got hit as the gov't began some investigation into price fixing of the egg producers, and they took a big hit, I have AGU as well & am going to stick with it, The whole AG industry is strong, but realize, in times of financial crisis, even good companies suffer, many may become steals at the low prices they may end up hitting. The finacial markets are being re-written day by day, think of all the companies that are now gone, like poof they went. There will be those that make tons of money off this opportunity, much like the junk bonds of the 80s, some companies will come back healthy, but the time horizon is anyones guess, there is to me, no fix for this economy, to me the only logical step is the crumbling of the propped up US dollar. Not too many stock have done well...ERII suprisingly has done ok, after a massive selloff it's back close to 10
Yes, good companies will come thru all this mess, but a bad economy is a bad economy, stocks don't do well in bad times, people go more toward less risky investment, the credit markets are drying up & its a major crisis out there, unemployment/real estate all in bad places. For me personally, I would not invest in gov't controlled entities, most of any money Fan & fed will make will go back to paying the FED, & i can't see those stocks as being the right type of investment,,,for me...for you it may be...i like to invest in growth, investing in fnm & fre is investing in turmoil. The bottom in financials has yet to occur, many more banks have to fall, more consolidation has to occur...
The better question is what companies are best suited for a recessionary economy,.??
we talking old school peanut butter, bread companies? or health care do to the number of sucicidal mudafukkas? ok ok but for real what do you mean?
For those of you asking questions, don't sleep on the audio lessons I posted earlier (1-20-2008 to be exact). The link is still working as of today.
