ok ok good to know im not waaay off the mark but why wouldnt good earnings mean a rise instead of a either way type deal?

While earnings & grwoth maybe strong, there is suspicion that COSTS could come in higher (R&D, to be exact) so buying a call is hedging an upwards movement, now for most measures the company should perform well, what the stock does can go either way, I've seen co's blow out earnings then guide lower & the stock price gets hammered...so you never know. ISRG is a great company in a space w/o any competition..

How about the AGs people...
POT 198
MOS 135
MON 132
DE 89
AGU 85
TNH 144
CF 150

If you've been on this thread you know AGs are my #1 sector,,,#2 is energy,
AGs are going to keep running,,

Much PROPS to PoPo for pushing the Ags,

I didn't jump on POT like I should have, but I am riding the wave on MOS. Anybody got an idea on where to exit this thing? I'm concerned that w/ this push, things will get oversold. But, it's hard to tell because every other week, one company or another is signing a partnership or distribution agreement.

With so many AGs earnings in the next three weeks & ALL ready to pummel the consensus, it's hard to think that a significant drop will occur. If you have good gains & you want to lock it in you may want to consider a protective put, but I honesty thought they would cool - but too much good news dropped. Ags just may run for another 3 weeks, POT may take out those 240-265 Targets, AGU 95-115. These I Banks need winners, only so few places they exist in the market...IBM beating should be good upside for the DOW, Ags again should be green...

hmmmmmmmm,,just saw the Merill Lynch miss & writedown, could dampen things but, still if you're in AG you're in the right sector for the next 3 years.so,,do not fret over the small moves when in a few years you puch it up on a chart & see POT/MOS etc. al up in excess of 300%+

Well I got some change off of ITU. Out of Etrade but will get back in if it screams buy me again. Shame on me for not having any AG's in my port. Them financials be callin me man! My holds now are PAL & TGB. Made a great entry in TITN got out and praying for a pullback.I have a cash reserve but have made no buys this week. This food shortage shit is starting to look ugly. I read rice in Hait costs more than a X-box. PoPo you spoke of this Omen moths ago. The situation does still look very profitable.

4/17/08 -

POT 1/18-$122 NOW $192,+57.37%
MOS 1/18-$80 NOW $132, +65.00%
PAL 1/18-$3.76 NOW $5.46, +52.65%

Palladium 1/18-$369 NOW $456, +23.57%
Gold 1/18-$881 NOW $941, +6.80%

All picks suffered after heavy runups, the metals & commodities have become increasingly volatile, particularly gold & silver, All AG picks are money makers on timely trades, AGU/DE/MON/MOS/TNH/TRA/CF/POT/TITN/COIN, fluctuations will occur as most these stocks have a $5-$10 spread between daily lows & highs. I continue to be bullish on AG sector, this week MON & MOS report earnings, hopefully some posiive guidance will push the sector back up...

To all those w/ losing positions,whether it be PAL/SWC/TGB/etc., just know what you're in & if you can hold out do so, if not sell & find new opportunities where you may recoup...

We'll see what 2Q08 brings...........

Pull UP ANY CHART OF ON ANY OF THE BOLD ABOVE....

Do not miss these AGs people...maybe i've been preaaching since January, and maybe some listened, but realize it's not over.

WOW frst time ive seen Coinz dip so low its <5.00 andim in @ 5.15 or so lol I did a small sideplay on ZAGG got in at .70 set a limit to sell at .78 it kicked in today so yippie lol had 1000 shares on that but i dont think ill do it again lol

 

[kjxxxx]

I am taking a beat down today. I bet that GOOG would disappoint based on the media talk. CNBC. So I bought April DIA and QQQQ PUTS. Got a chance to take some quick profits before the numbers came out but didn't cause didn't reach my target. That turned out to be a big mistake. GOOG up 77 points in AH

People are raking in who went long.

 

[roscoep]

Damn! Last nite I was going to buy a good amount of shares of TMA, and it skyrockets to +15%, and is holding steady at +10-13%. I got caught sleeping, and its the only stock that seems to be doing good today.

Im going to start day trading soon, with everything going down, this should be the best time to buy right?

With TMA right now you are better off buying a lottery ticket. I made money on it and then lost 80% of it last month. It defies logic and it's junk right now.

TMA has real problems. Their commercial paper (short-term <9 month bonds) just got downgraded to a "D" (DEFAULT==Can't repay loan==lowest possible rating). Stock has been looming between $1 and $1.30 for a while now. I understand that the low cost is attractive for a quick play, but it's a dangerous one. I can't front though...I was watching it this week too, and was surprised by today's bump up.

Was long on GOOG. Took a beatdown last two months. Just made my money back. Got the heck outtta dodge.

But it did mess up my short of BIDU. SOB jumped 25pts overnight. Probably on the way back to $430. Covered some of my short position, and waiting on a dip. POT is off the chain. So is CEO. Half of my portfolio is China stocks right now. Took a small beatdown on GRMN, but not worried. Continually merked on PAL, but I'm still hanging.

IPI Intrepid Potash should IPO Monday the 4-21.

Intrepid Potash Inc. is soon to be pricing an IPO, and the "hot status" was just confirmed. With all the hype and pricing power of anything tied to potash, nitrates, fertilizer, and anything tied to Agriculture, this was a foregone conclusion. The company issued an amended IPO filing with the SEC showing that it boosted the size of its planned IPO to a level that will now be over $1 Billion.

The Denver, Colorado-based potash producer hiked the size of the offering to 30 million shares from 24 million. If things weren't good enough, the company also hiked its estimated price range to $27.00 to $29.00 from a prior range of $24.00 to $26.00.

The NYSE has approved its "IPI" stock ticker. The underwriting group is all large household names with Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, RBC Capital Markets, and BMO Capital Markets listed as underwriters. The underwriters now have an overallotment option to purchase up to 4.5 million additional shares rather than the 3.6 million shares originally indicated.


im going to try and get in on it. anyone else?

 

[mylife134]

why isnt this a sticky????????
props to you all for {trying/getting}--that legit money....
with bush leaving this year,things are going to get even tighter,so
stack that money----and have a safe year.....its gonna be a hoooooooooooooooooooooooootttttttttt summer this year....

IPI will be a splendid pickup, unfortunatly Its dropping on the week most Ags are reporting so I'tll have to go on my back burner. I Like the thought process,,go for it..

I'll see how it's looking after a week or so, might have a big burst onto the scene due to timing...

No need for margin,.no need to complicate your life man, just play what you have & not what you don't. Your COIN/COINZ are in a holding pattern, around the 10 region for the stock, they are due to open their 1st plant in a few so stick with it. In the mean time, find plays to your liking & play. I'm hoping by/after earnings on the 24th we see POT at $220+, would be just beautiful............204 Close today....das the Kingpin stock right there folks...
Others-cf/tra/agu/de/titn/tnh - I seriusly hope most have made some money on any of these....I know my PAL drop has shed a bit, but in time that too will return in excess of 50%, patience is a virtue man must learn.......

good luck to all

This one of the heaviest boards on BGOL, we may only have a few "loyalists" but Tripster has fored a powerhouse thread.Probably more than $$250k been made on this thread, by all parties likely....that sounds like thread of the year material....

You got to find a way to compensate for paying 3x for bread/food/gas..play the co's that will profit from it & get the lot back folks.....simple equation, you take, i'll take back!!

TITN +2.62, 12%

Nice man,,,glad you making loot on it, As I said a lil while back I had to leave it behind to make some other plays but reaally like the Co. If It can realize the 27-28 target you'll be sitting great w/ it. It's a mover when it wants to be. Finally getting to be part of its sector..good sign...i think it likely ran a bit too because DE is about at 52 week highs,~$95.
Gettothat 100k man,,then 250k, then .5 lol,,

Ain' much to really fight about..We've stayed away from the lunacy of some stock boards w/ relevant hyping & pumping (hmm maybe I've hyped & pumped Ags a bit ), stayed & strayed away from the penny stock players(some tried to bring it on here), just seem to be investing in legitimate Co's w/ lots to offer in these troubled times. For the spring/summer mo's add these all to your watch lists -
COP/CVX/MRO/SU/XOM/APU/RIG/DRYS/PBR/APA
your Oil refiners/producers/drillers/shippers

Lets face it, we're 1 hurricane away from $150+ OIL prices by summer, you're a blink away from $4/gl on the pump, so how you goin to play it...red pill/blue pill??

forward thinking defies backward logic

Well ill try to set it up someplace we can still stay anonymous and share things there since BGOL is about as stable as next months server bill

Is there a site you guys prefer for looking at your charts etc, its kind of a pain to login to TRadking, pull up a chart then not hit it for 10 mins and have to go login again URGH
