Just bought 2000 @ $4.60
Man i pulled out too soon... Only made 100.00 profit... Oh well i'm still learning this game.... Good Pick bro....... Also don't sleep on EEE for a quick flip. It's previously closed at 2.08 and i saw it opened at 2.44 within minutes.....
True indeed man this is like my second job man... My goal is to double my net income from my job...... YEAH BOY!!!!
I'm probably late on this, but the Wall Street Journal provides the day's biggest gainers by percentage (share price above $2). Is anyone here anticipating 20%+ daily price increases? TIVO was up 28% and closed at $8.77 I know this isn't most people's strategy--had we all jumped on ETFC when Tripster first mentioned it 3 weeks ago, we'd all have a 60% profit! (I got in late at 4.65) Just curious.

Just use the trading tools provided by your brokerage.
I use tdameritrade.
Don't fall in love with the stock!!! Any stock, it is about profits........
ETFC was a fantastic pic.I have my trailing stop ready. I got in @ 2.70
. Much appreciation Tripster. Does anyone have any input on RAD(riteaid)? It fell below $2 just a week ago. Is it still cheap or did I mis the run?
Also I hear PEG (PSE&G)is supposed to split next month? Would that be a good buy? Any input would be appreciated. Peace to the board.

I'm not really messing with RAD...to me they could go to .50 as quickly as they could go to 3. Not worth the risk. The company actually sucks. I don't know anything about PEG. I need to read up on them.
Good time to invest in Garmin if you think this phone will blow

Too late......
MS is going top buy at $31 per share.
The share price is already close to the figure......

Yeah I saw it myself. I was so disappointed. Oh well, nothing gained but nothing lost.
Ahhh, got caught sleeping on this, but you had to be in already to make any decent money. I don't want to get in now. Might short it to $20, as I think everyone is caught in the euphoria but the deal wont get done for a while.
Just little reminders of my initial post......to get you motivated. CFC is at $7.17 as I predicted, and you already know about ETFC.
Come on...if you are not in...get in...and let's get it!
BUMP!

Can I jump back in to ETFC at 5.40 right now I skimmed my 1200 profit yesterday. It seems to be moving up rapidly.
I just read that some of it's directors just bought a shit load of their own shares. Also, how do you think the superbowl ad will affect the stocks?
Help!

CFC is pushing 7.40. How far up do you think it will go today? Didn't BofA bid 7.19 a share?

Its a long term hold. This is a good price to get in, but I wouldn't mess with it right now for day/week trading...still too volatile. But yes, I'm keeping some for the long haul. Hope that helped.
I'm not messing with CFC. CFC becomes BAC (Bank of America) shares (at some ratio..can't remember exactly) after close of the deal. People are believing that many of the large financials have "bottomed out" which means they are as cheap as they're gonna get for a while. Why not buy CFC at 7 instead of buying BAC at 42. Get in BAC for "cheaper". At least that' my theory.
I bought a bunch of BAC at $35 or something like that. Will easily hit $55 by mid-year. Might see one more dip in financials in the next few weeks, but I happen to believe the worst is behind us.
Snap up these financials while they are cheap, and the risk is low. You'll be glad in about 12-18 months. Wealthier too.
Correction: BAC bid 0.1822 shares per each CFC share. This means that cfc shares should be worth $8.20 based on BAC's Friday close of $45.03, right? I sold my ETFC at 5.40--happy too because it's around $5.05 right now. Any recommendations for a short-term hold over the weekend?

I was saying that at the lows. Maybe one fellow listened. I believe he worked for one of the banks.

Peace to all you brothers providing this information.
For years i lurked but today I come out into the light
I have been following your picks,they have really been on point but i recently jumped on sirius because of the merger or buy out from xm. I wanted to get some opions on if its good idea.
And does anyone have any knowledge on pennystocks?

Im back in E*trade today @$4.90. Never got out of my original position but fear I maynot be able to get more shares around $3 or less.
GRMN got an upgrade today.....
Thanks for the input on RAD. Yeah they looked bad at $5 but started looking less sad at $2. So im betting on the house here and threw those funds on ETRC. Thanks.

My quick buck tip on volatile and expensive stocks like GOOG, BIDU, MA, ISRG, etc...
I use bull call spread or bear put spread.Establishing a bull call spread involves the purchase of a call option on a particular underlying stock, while simultaneously writing a call option on the same underlying stock with the same expiration month, at a higher strike price.
For example, GOOG is down big today. I find support for the day around 520.
So i buy a GOOG March 520 ($34) Call and sell a GOOG March 530 ($29) for an outlay of $5 per contract . Much cheaper than buying a GOOG contract that will require $34. Upside is limited but i'm looking for small but consistent profit here.
I make $500 - $1000 every other day with this approach with GOOG call and put options with very tight stops cause in options trading, its about staying in the game loool..
Your mileage may vary

Fuck you talkin about. Can you speak in regular folk language, shit!
By the way, ETFC is up .46 today to 5.43. I love making $5000 before 10 a.m. in the morning baby!!!!
Good question. I bought apple at 165 and I might have caught a falling knife. Do you all think it is wise to buy more now at 133 in order to lower my cost basis and just sit on it and see what happens in a year?
