***Tripster's 2008 Investments (Ongoing thread)***

Right now, I believe the worst of the market has subsided, there are sectors that should be held off on in the near term, just because it's not the best opportune time to enter them. The two absolute BEST picks I have right now are PAL & SWC, Calls on Both, and also warranst on PAL. The markets are closed to day but as of right now PLatinum & Palladium prices have SPIKED, 5%, meaning..come tommorow morning PAL & SWC will open MUCH higher, so if you're lookin to get in the open might be a bit rough considerign the price youre going to pay...BUT PAY IT...and just grab on to something, whether it's PAL/SWC stock, 7.50,or above CALLs, or warrants...The move you will see in the next few months will push these stocks up so damn high.

My advice is stick w/ agriculture any agriculture pick, MOS looks like it'll be the big mover for 2008, i see a possible split happening, for potential high gains(higher risk) pick up COIN,or COINW,COINZ

As always, just invest to your risk level, some here have asked about pink sheets and stuff, they have a place but for the novice investor I'd say avoid them, get your feet wet w/ respectable good revenue generating companies, more experience you get, better you'll understand your risk level....

This has been a great thread,one thing you do want to avoid though is info overload,where everyone is dropping a pick & next thing you know there are 100 to pick from...sorry for the long post....lol, hope that helps:D


Damn, you got anymore advisable picks? (typing this like a crack addict:lol:)

Good post! Good advice, especially investing to your own risk level. We should speak more about that. Bruhs don't know how to figure out their own level of risk tolerance. I'll post something on that later. Gotta go right now.

Lets Get It!

Bought POT in January at 135, its now at 152 (12%).


Missed this thread for the last couple of days.

Nice drops, checking out PAL & SWC now.......

Thanks Bro.......

:dance:
 
looks like they'll be a buying opportunity in PAL & SWC today, platinum metals slighly off at 2-4%, typical minor pullbacks on the metal, the stocks will pull back a bit & those willing will load for the next leg....
 
So I'm listening to the Star&Bucwild show this morning on 87.7fm(yeah they back my NJ /NY peoples!) And Whitetrash(the female co-host) mentions someone she knows was turned down for a passport and how its sad because you need a passport to go everywhere now. Then she mentions all the "RFID chips" being put into passports. Now I know Star&Buc isnt Bloomberg but it still made me go and check up on Tripsters pick "DIGA"(mentioned at .63) and I'll be damned....went has high has .81. Beautiful foresight!

spectacular movements today in PAL, as I said there would be a great buying opportunity in both PAL & SWC today..PAL hit as low as 7.38 but closed just about even for the day(8.04)...great strength exists in this issue...


2/20 Closes
POT +3.83%, continues to be a top pick of the AG sector
MOS +4.43%, likely will outperform POT & AG sector
PAL *even* great day none the less, another spike in platinum metals soon
PAL 7.5 Mar Calls *even* In the money calls, should see less action now
PAL-WT +1.68% -reevaluating this one, still good once PAL is going up-
COIN +13.54% - like I said, could be a MAJOR winner, bigger risk
COINZ +19.68% -will outperform/underperform COIN always,
COINW +41.17% -will outperform/underperform COIN always,
SWC -2.85% cooling it's heels, buying opportunity created today

Good luck to those in on them,,,

Yeah I got in on PAL at $7.77 Looks like it may do well. Any other tips out there?
 
great pickup on PAL in that range, with platinum @ 2151/oz, & palladium @ 501/oz it will be marching upwards in the AM, look for 8.50 region to be tested if not higher, stock may break out near term into the 9s and by mid march very well could be $10-$12. I expect platinum prices to reach $3000/oz & palladium $1000-1500/oz this year, boding very well for PAL & SWC. Good luck on your pick up...http://kitcosilver.com/
As for other picks, COIN looks to be breaking out to the upside, http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=COIN&t=3m could be a major rally in store as the Agriculture stocks continue to push foward are this markets leaders. ANY AG pick is a good pick,,MOS,POT,CF,THN,AGU,MON, or any Agriculture Equipment Manufacturers like DE (John Deere). Silver stocks as well will reap higher earnings due to escalated silver prices..plenty to pick from..good luck,,,
 
What are some people's thoughts on Seagate or Western Digital? Think they will rise on HP's good news:

http://finance.google.com/finance?q=NYSE%3ASTX

http://finance.google.com/finance?q=NYSE%3AWDC

PC/Memory(semi)/Hard Drive co's have had their growth phases, its over now. You can make small gains on those types of stock but its not 1996 when PCs were the in thing & the market was clamoring to get them,,,all companies have thier time. Good companies, but you have to know your investment objectives. If youre looking for 1-10% annual gains you invest in companies way past thier growth stages...Some prefer to go after companies NOW hitting thier grwoth stages...:cool:

Pal is following your every command. Think there will be a pull back before $10? I am thinking take a half position. What kind of potential do you think SWC has. I dont think I missed the train but dont want to over pay for a ticket...
Much respect.

Much respect.

What you have to do is look past the stock of PAL & SWC & look at the real world picture, platinum & palladium are metals necessary to produce catalytic converts these are put on ever vehicle made to reduce emissions. The metals run in deficit every year meaning its used up & new suppy is not even with demand. South Africa's energy cartel jus told the world they will not be able to supply enough power for mines to run at 100% capacity, so you scale back capacity & now youre producing even less of the metal..& they say likely they will not get it together till 2013....So what you have here is simple supply demand ecomonics.I fully expect for platinum & palladium to become volatile, look at today both are up $30.,there soon will be days of $100 moves,,you can't control supply so the price has to increase.......now the bad boys SWC & PAL have the mining capacity & reserves of the metal so they will be pushit it back into the market at much higher prices...so UP UP UP they go...

to answer your question,,,will it pull back,,i'd say the possibility exists at about 25%, to me the metals have far more to go particularly palladium (it has to trim that difference) so to me it will blow through 10 easy. I buy the calls, actully I have no stock in PAL, i have warrants & options..both outperform the stock, so i play the best risk/reward on it..

As for SWC...Morgan upgraded it today to a $26.oo target...
http://www.mineweb.net/mineweb/view/mineweb/en/page35?oid=47844&sn=Detail
SWC supposeldy had a good reserve of Rhodium, which is at $9,ooo/oz...I will not be duprised to see SWC at 50+ by years end and PAL close to $25...the race has just began,...forget worrying about a ticket..jus get on the train,,,:rolleyes:
 
,...forget worrying about a ticket..jus get on the train,,,:rolleyes:
:) I read your response 3 times...Amen! This kinda explains why the U.S. Mint keeps canceling orders and raising the prices on the coins:angry: even after I order!! Thank you sir. I was only looking straight ahead...
 
Tripster...i have to appologize for thread jacking,,seems like i've posted here quite a few times over the past week..

Dude, this is what this thread is all about...Sharing Knowledge. You are doing a service to the thread....keep it coming.

BTW, I bought 5000 PAL @ 7.49 earlier this week and now its at $8.58. $5500 profit. Keep posting, bruh.:lol:

Let's Get It!!!!

P.S. I need to be getting in those options.
 
popozudalvr & Tripster...thank you, thank you, thank you.

Opened a scottrade acct two day ago (PAL and SWC), made $200 profit today. ING Direct can't match that any day:lol::lol:

I'm still kinda new to this so I won't be messing with options, shorting or margins.

popozudalvr, great call on those two stocks. I'm definitely getting all out of SWC once it hits the $25-26 range(got it at $17.04). As for PAL, I looked at the trend over the past 10 years and it looks like it will top off just around the $12-$14 range. It seems like it declines around April - May. Don't quote me on it though.

I'll be getting some COIN real soon too. I wish I had the money for POT and got in late last year. POT was @ at $110 around Thanksgivings; it's now @156 and still rising.

>I had to apologize anyway, but back to the story at hand,,good pickup at 7.49....the options & warrants are the play though,,i reccomended the stock to the board, but I honestly have no stock,lol, i think the stock is great for individuals new to the market,,,PAL is now at 9.07 in after market,,so,you're doing fine..i had picked up Mar 7.50 calls for .25c about a week back,,they are now 1.90(i foolishly sold some at .80:smh:). Then i just jumped on the 10s for March,,,at .40..I expect those to go in the money likely tommorow or monday...Like i told the board the big story isn't changing, do not get scared out of a position on a fall back,,the platinum & palladium story is what you have to follow,,there is the heart of the matter. SWC will also do very well, but PAL will outperform it...i have to look back on historical price differential between the two to get a better gauge on the long haul...By 7am, check the PMGs(Platinum Metal Group) www.kitcosilver.com if they are up (most likely) $10tommorow...this is a one in a lifetime opportunity, due to this supply issue,,it is not a normal case,,so i advise all to GET IT as you say,,
 
popozudalvr & Tripster...thank you, thank you, thank you.

Stay safe when you just jump in the game,,time will let you be better suited to play the higher risk types.....I do think that you're a bit hazy on SWC & PAL in regards to targets...now a profit is a profit..so i'm not gonna knock that, but what you are looking at w/ this supply issue cannot be refernced by history. Plat & Pall will achieve all time highs, 3k+ for Plat, 1.5k-2k for Pall...These two companies will watch thier market cap SWELL to market levels on the ASSETS they hold. Remember, they have reserves, & will sell into market at much higher prices, & thier bottom like will be greatly increased...When you bail on SWC at $26( because why? Morgan put a target?,,if you read the report they also said they expect Plat prices to be $1600,,its $2100)...SWC can easily see $50.00 this year...it's a commodity bull run,,that's why i say Agric & Metals are the place to be.......do your reasearch but understand the dynamics allowing all this to occur..:cool:

Call them or email them or something. Tell them you were referred by someone and they gave you the code and you want your credit.
I guess you didn't check the box that you responding to a promotion
 
I don't think BID can beat Mon. and I don't think they can guide upwards either. I don't think anyone going to believe them even if they did. stock had rallied a few days ago to 35 now pulled back in the last 2 days to 31+.
 
Daarkman,,,
Apple is turning into a rotten apple..Their busines is going to slow, they are a disposable income type company, a non-necessary goods producer. Sales will suffer in the current economic environment. If you have shares, I'd buy protective puts & make some money while it goes down, below 100 is not out of the question this year for Apple..good luck with it...As for PAL...PAL is our Friend,,treat it well & it'll treast you well...but i assure many, you will be tested as it will get shaken many times(just today low of 8.40)..weak hands let go..strog hands hold on...goodluck

Yeah those $115 & $100 march puts are looking good right now.
 
Here's why no one will bid PAL down & SWC on a Friday...
Markets close here at 4pm, the World Spot Metal Markets reopen on Sunday areound 7pm EST, so over the weekend, lets say Platinum & Palladium spike, on Monday you do not want to be trying to chase a big open on PAL & SWC due to the metals spiking, that's wwhy i think it's had 5 consecutive Friday green closes...I hated to sell POT, but opportunity like PAL & SWC are once in a lifetime shot, as Em say you only get one shot do not miss your change,,,opportunity comes once in a lifetime,,I'll ride these metals (plus i own some physical)...
If you have a worthwhile investment in AAPL,,maybe best to have protective puts agains it, I've been skptical on tech, RIMM continues to do well & that is good news for Apple. I try to avoid markets past their growth stages, when things start to slow, it time for me to exit...
 
Crazy ass close. 250 points up movement in the last 30 mins

Hey popozudalvr

I don't know if you follow Silver also but SILVER WHEATON CO (SLW) is reporting earnings on Monday
 
Actually was a big shareholder of WHT around 2003/4, back before they became Silver Wheaton & were just Wheaton Silver. Always liked their business & reserve capacity. I'm a big fan of silver & they are to me the go to company when it comes to Silver, Co'oer is a distant second. Considering the high silver price I'd expect good earnings,Silver in my opinion will cross over 20.oo/oz in '08. Gold is the only metal I can't fully feel comfortable with as it's a non consumable metal/I prefer things that get used up..Silver Wheaton is a great co., so if you're in it hang with it..Silver prices will lead the way higher for it & other silver miners...

PAL did as expected & shook some weak hands out today, the fearful bunch who are just buying for fun sake & when it shifts to the downside they have no clue about the big picture so they bail....Solid Close..lets hope for a full cross of 2k/oz on plat come Monday..Looking for my Mar 10s to go in the money...
