Any Ideas For Tomorrow?

Q: What do you think will happen tomorrow? Any Ideas?A: My reading of the charts tells me a few things. First, the Bollinger Bands are REAL tight right now. That tells me that FNM is about to make a big move. Second, there are a lot of indifferent signals in the charts. But there are quite a few indicators pointing upwards right now. So my feeling is that we will continue to see accumulation over the next few weeks and we should see the stock price steadily increase. We will never see the ultra low prices on this stock again. Judging by the average daily volume, it will...

Afterall, they are going to be the marketing arm of this drug if it makes it to the market?A: The people on here could only buy 100 shares of Novartis. They are penny stock pumpers and dumers. Cant make money like that with $35/ share stocks. I have both CTIC and (Novartis) NVS at discount prices. NVS is still around it's lows right now so good time to get it before that starts to move.

Are You Buying More Bac Shares?

Q: I have a couple thousand shares of BAC at $5.75. I'm trying to figure out if I should buy more. This would obviously mean an average up. But profit is profit. Constructive criticism please.A: I bought in the 4s and again a few days ago in the 10s. I'm long on BAC for sure. It may never again reach it's all time high, but I'm sure it will get back up into the 30s within a couple years at most. If you're long, I think it would be silly not to buy at these prices.

Atvi Investing Vs Trading

Q: I've owned this stock for about 6 months. Coincidentally I bought it when I cancelled my WoW subscription. It hasn't gone up much as a whole but because I liked this company I bought at a few lows to bring down my average to about 10.00. My question here is looking into the next year or so, why wouldn't I add to my positions around 11.00 when it may be 15 by the end of the year? And the alternative is to sell my position at a 10% gain and wait for it to hit 10.00 again. Does anyone honestly think it may go below 10.50...

Back-trackin' ?

Q: GAWD, this is like watchin' paint dry...The shortie-pukes had a jolly- good time with the P/M this morning, but they're STILL so totally SCREWED. Short-interest is up to 24.95% of the float, www.shortsqueeze.com , and we all know that about half of that has to be in the $4-5 range (if not deeper). Time to cover, kids (baby needs some new Reeboks)...A: The stock I'm really confused about is GM. They're talking about a 100:1 dilution and it's up! LVS will be just fine. We're not going out of business, and if we can sell Macau, good! LVS today looks like people are being patient to sell...

Bloody Friday

Q: FAZ had broke to the upside through its immediate term downtrend line. The blip down in the past hour is signaling a possible back kiss of that ST downtrend line and that would be below yesterday's FAZ low. It could occur at 16ish without the market going thru yesterday's highs. I figure worst we could see on the downside for FAZ would be at DJIA +115 today, coinciding with FAZ just above 16 and FAS at 7. That would be an ideal setup to initiate a position in FAZ. Nevertheless, the stars rarely line up perfectly, so I give the scenario less...

Q: I really thought wfc was going to do well from here on out because of their strong earnings. Was this a bad idea?A: Ya their right man ... LT WFC is money in the bank! hahaha But depends on what trading style you have ... are you a regular trader making cash on the fluctuations? Or are you trying to position yourself for the LT?

Buffet Is Buying Stocks Now! Its Time To Buy!

Q: Buffet is buying stocks now! ITS TIME TO BUY!!! http://www.cnbc.com/id/2723039-1/site/14081545A: buffet is what, in his 90's now, hes probably going to kick the bucket any month now, of course he doesn't care if the stocks he buys now lose all its value Do you know anything about his strategy? The reason he doesn't donate money to charity right now is because in his view he can grow that money faster than anyone, so when he passes on he will be able to leave them with more money. Which I believe is roughly 95% of his wealth. Here's the original article ...

Buffet's Buy Indicator

Q: Would Warren Buffett -- the patron saint of fundamental-focused value investing -- really suggest broad market indicators are relevant to a buy decision? As it turns out, it can be. His signal looks at total stock market value compared to gross domestic product. In 2001, when the percentage was over 130%, Buffett said that "if the percentage falls to the 70% or 80% area, buying stocks is likely to work very well for you." At the end of January, Fortune reported, the ratio was at 75%. CheersA: The Buffet indicators is not available anywhere as far as I know. It...

Bullish On Opti

Q: My experience has been most of the people throwing insults around really aren't making all that much money. Timing is an illusion and pretty much pure luck. Although the obvious things present themselves to all of us. Actually, I consider myself a trader more than a day trader per say. As I've stated before I only trade stocks that I would invest in. Charts are only one tool of the tools I use. Back in October what I really thought was damn I'm glad I've been easing in.

Buying Stocks In Another Currency

Q: I have an account with a popular online 'discount' brokerage here in Canada. All of my funds are in $CAD, but I'd like to buy some U.S. stocks.

I am weary of getting a bad exchange rate deal, and can't find good information about the costs. Any advice on the pros/cons of different approaches is appreciated! A: I looked into this a...

Buying Stocks Just Before A Recession

Q: Counterintuitive, but them's the facts. Probably the reason is that it's been found that buying "month to month" is actually not as good as simply buying all at once (if you have the cash).

Buying Stocks (or Etfs) For Kids

Q: Is there a reasonable way to purchase a few shares of a stock (or ETF) as a present for a child? I imagine treasury bonds would be easier, but I think stocks would be more exciting. For example, my goddaughter's confirmation is coming up. Could I somehow get her a single share of SPY? Ideally, I'd like to minimize the parents' involvement. Thinking specifically of my goddaughter, her parents aren't exactly the financially saavy type. I'd like this to be something that they don't have to put any effort in to.A: You can open a UGMA account in her name and buy...

Buying Stocks Under $15 Is Risky

Q: Stocks under $15 have some pretty volatile movements....up 20% one day, down 20% the next depending on whether there is short covering un upcoming good news or just straight shorting like yesterday with the geithner flop. 1) Except a run up in the week ahead of the next geithner speech and get out when he actually speaks. Lets just hope he gives some details next time. 2) In the bear market, be defensive because 20% of your savings in one day can make you do some crazy gambling things in the market. 3) Always use the gap rules and only buy if the stock goes 10 cents above the...

Buying Stocks Without A Broker

Q: Anyone have any recommendations for buying stocks direct from companies who offer them? If so, who? What are the pros and cons?A: 1. Lots of paperwork, but not a big deal if you're organized or you use a financial software program like Quicken to track your finances. 2. You can't choose the price at which you buy/sell, or even the date in most cases, since most DRIPs invest on predetermined dates (usually once per month, although some will do once per week, others only once ...

Can You Margin Fas/faz At *your* Brokerage?

Q: Hey dudes and dudettes, just a quick survey question here. My brokerage does not allow you to buy anything under $4 on margin; you have to put up 100% of the money, in other words. In the case of FAS and FAZ, if they're between $4 and $5, you've got to lay down 90% - not cool. Eventually these things, because of the decay they experience, are going to zero. Just look at where FAS/FAZ were at the beginning of the year and where they are now - they were in the 20s/30s in January, IIRC, and are both in the single digits now. I gotta switch brokerages...

Corel, Sleeman: Are They Buys?

Q: I just want to hear a few opinions about these stocks. Sam, Sleemen's is a great company. I believe this company will do very well for a long period of time. They have about 15 million outstanding, and have $28 million in shareholder equity. I would strongly reccomend a buy on this one, and have, but no one is listening to me. As for Corel, this one a a little more risky in my opinion. Basicaly their next quarter results will tell the tale. Their new Java applications are in the infancy stage, and they need steady revenue comming from Wordperfect suite. Sales so far have...

Cross Roads?

I currently see us at major resistance, failed a break out of that resistance, and weakening to bearish market internals. I do have some equity shorts, but those are in fundamentally weak stocks, so they're pretty safe if markets go against me, and they can be big movers if we get the down leg I haven't given up on yet. I need a close above the 61.8 to look bullish. Today is the...

Discussions For Bank Of America Corporation

Q: Lower rates will not help much, what's needed is a reduction of the principal. Suppose your house is 20% "underwater". E.g. the market price of your house is now 80% of what you owe on your mortgage. Now tell me, how does a rate reduction from 5.5% to 4.7% help you in this situation? It's a drop in the bucket compared to the 20% mortgage restructuring that is needed. Besides, last time I checked, the mortgage assistance program failed miserably in Congress. They wanted to give first-time homebuyers $15K + 4% fixed rate, which is not that much of help in current situation. And even that got reduced.A: I have a different...

You receive investment returns for (1) the use of your capitol and (2) assuming the risk of decreased value up to and including bankruptcy. Why on earth should all taxpayers subsidize the free market contract equity shareholders entered into? Another Solution...

Besides Bankruptcy does not mean the company seize to function, but rather a restructuring and size reduction, which a lot of analysts are in favor of.The whole financial system of the world wouldn't fail because of this, but it will probably increase unemployment of US to record numbers, my estimate 12-14% on average. The world financial system isn't really falling, its restructuring, for the coming of new superpowers. All the...

Dow Jumps Above 8,000 For First Time In 2 Months

Q: NEW YORK (AP) - Investors are buying up stocks again, sending the Dow Jones industrials above the 8,000 mark for the first time in nearly two months. All the major indexes soared about 4 percent on Thursday as optimism grew following more signs that the economy is on the mend.

The change should help banks reduce losses. Another positive indicator on the economy also lifted Wall Street sentiment. Factory orders posted a large increase in...

Q: Here's a Charting site that you may not be familiar with: http://www.prorealtime.com They offer a Free Subscription for end-of-day data but you do have to register to gain access. A paid subscription currently runs about $800/year and that gives you the ability to chart intraday in real time and more importantly to run your intraday stock screens in real time - that's a feature sorely lacking from stockcharts.com. Their software also gives you the ability to create your own custom indicators using their proprietary progamming language which is not difficult to learn. I've always been fascinated by charts and I like this site A...

Ford Bankruptcy

Q: About to BK a couple weeks ago? Huh? That was just a buying opportunity. Ford was never in danger of going BK. They've been a mess, yes, but the last two years has been all about reorg. A: You wrote that F was about to BK a few weeks ago. I think that is an exageration. Yes thay have been having some cash flow problems and financial managment problems for quite a while, but they were actively dealing with it well before the other companies. Not taking the bailout money spoke volumes about thier financial position....

Get Out Of BAC Very Soon!

Q: http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20090403/pl_politico/20871 The Banks are bluffing, even if this stock is going up... the volumes on it are declining. Who wants to own BAC right now at 7.5 when its really probably worth less than 5? In the next few weeks, anything could happen but I've got my money shorting this b/c even if more good news comes out... a profit taking is gonna take place b/c even if Ken Lewis came up to me today and told me where his company is going...

Also look at all the previous warnings about this fake and total scam of a company from the previous posters and messages here. If you dig a little you will find all the warings...

Goldman Buying E-trade?

Q: I just heard a rumor about Goldman doing a deal for Etrade over the long weekend. Anybody have any conformation about this?A: However - what do you guys think of the idea that ETFC right now might be a good buy for one of the newly formed banks. Bunch of customers, pretty good trading platform and of course bunch of bad loans which would not be a problem for one of the big ones as they already have plenty of TARP money??? Or am "socially" dreaming??? I still think ETFC is undervalued! Shame I bought in a couple weeks ago when it spiked up past $1.50...

Gold Season Is Gone For A Few Months..time To Stock Up On Hgd.to

Q: Gold usually does not do well from now (April/May) until the end of July on a seasonal basis. http://www.xovian.com so, gold miners are gonna go down too? I have been holding HGU for few months, so time to buy HGD?????A: I say keep holding onto hgd.to, only because Gold still has lot too drop. Comex Gold is at $880...which is ridiculously high. But keep a watch, I hear if gold hits 845 - 850, there may be a bounce. Hgd may be at 9.20 to 9.50 then, so you can sell it and wait t'll it drops again. I'll keep a...

Good News, Stock Dives- Wtf Happened?

Q: Someone help out a beginner... looks like the earnings news was pretty good to me... why did this go down today? Could be that it suspends dividends on common. But it is a necessary step to preserve liquidity I guess. Well, I'm a common stockholder, I'm planning to buy more at this price, hopefully it will give out dividend for the next quarter. What you guys think? Do you think the dividend will be back on the common share next quarter?A: Actually, they can stop dividends on the common, because the dividends on the preferred stock also count towards their obligation to pay out their income. Since...

Great Upside Trading Week

Q: The action is the market has been exciting these past few weeks to say the least. I hope you all have been actively trading in some form, and if you have, you have been trading with the overall market trend, which has been Up-trending! Sorry that I've been quiet; but I've been either reading newsletters, studying charts, and waking up early to catch the market action. I've been taking long positions (buying stocks with stops set 3 percent below their past 3 month support levels) and on occasion been buying calls to trade for very short term trades (one day or two) on the hopes of catching...

Guys, Wallstreet Are Pumping And Dumping The Stocks. Let Me Explain

Q: Guys, wallstreet are pumping and dumping the stocks. Let me explain. You can see it with most of the stocks (ie. GOOG, GS and most of the banks and other stocks. The marketmakers have a good idea what to expect from earnings so they push the price of the stock up prior to earnings release. ( and do not tell me they cannot manipulate stocks....remember Crammer recently admitted he does it himself). The company reports the earnings. Mainstreet and the common trader runs in and buys the stock and wallstreet sell their shares to mainstreet and make a profit. The stock falls shortly after. I bet you are going...

House Republicans Roll Out Alternative Budget

Q: http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/04/01/gop.budget/ All I can say is thank God the GOP is no longer in control of congress. Is that really the best they can do? Repeal all spending of all kinds for years to come and of course cut taxes.A: you don't start negotiations with the final compromise, any politician from either side knows that. settle down already The problem is the republicans should have done this sh!t when they were IN power. Now it's too little, too late. Unless a miracle happens in the midterms next year to being some balance back, this problem will become the second Great Depression. The...

How Do Taxes Work On Stocks?

Q: Anyone, this is my first time buying stock with an individual brokerage account (via SogoTrade), and I'm just wondering how profits on taxes work. Say if I cash out all my shares of SIRI and make $2,000, do I get a check for $2,000 and I personally will have to pay taxes on that money on my tax return next year, or will taxes be taken out of the profits by SogoTrade for me and sent to the IRS in my name? I would guess that I'll be responsible for the taxes but I'm not sure. Sorry if this sounds like a dumb...

How To Play Apple Earnings: Intelligent Investor

Q: As I made very public here, I liquidated 4100 shares of Apple in October for tax purposes last year, but had every intention of buying them all back which I also did publicly here in Late November, December and January for a new addition of 4000 shares of Apple at a DCA price just over 86 bucks. I also went Heavily into GLW, WFC, CSCO at very deep discounts. They have all done far better than I imagined and I am no guru but just stayed with the simple principle of buying and DCAing into great companies that have been sold on irrational fears even while maintaining best...

I Dont Care I Am Buying More Citi

Q: Too good of a price right now. already have 1000X$3.75.A: I doubt he bases his estimates on anything. However, I see Citi becoming double digits in the next few years. They have problems right now, but they have removed a lot of the bad eggs and they dont have the government incentivizing them to make such a big mistake anymore. the 2002 recession is hard to look at and estimate form because the financial sector didn't lead the fall like here. We have to be carefull because historically the sector that leads the fall/crash does not lead the rally back up. Either way, i bought some citi...

Illuminati All-seeing Eye

Q: Start buying oil stocks and ford stocks... Why because gold will soon be down to $600 and I need to move it somewhere and your heavy in oil and ford and are dieing to get out. Why do men shake hands when they meet? Why do men sit in church all on one side? Why do people toast and touch their glasses of wine/beer etc.? Where did "rule of thumb" come from? How about "to each his own"? What happened to the Russians that wanted to perform a cross using only 2 fingers? What does the name "Christopher" mean? What is he up to now? What does Vladimir...

Im Cramer Goes Off On This Guy For Not Buying Fas!

Q: Hey Jim Cramer went off on this guy today on live television for buying FAZ instead of FAS, check it outA: Dude, I used to watch and listen to Cramer every night and even in November, after people had already lost around 50% in their retirement accounts, he was still telling people to buy, buy, buy at these amazing prices and not to sell their losses. yeah well if it wasn't for Cramer, I would have never had the superior portfolio that I have now. Before cramer I just had a CD with the bank, but now I own Heinz(HNZ), Hershey(HSY), Papa Johns Pizza (PZZA), Microsoft(MSFT),...

I see this stock with high support at 5, so buy at 5 to keep it up above 5, but most people sell it once it hits 5.10-5.15 thus the cycle happens again... It is brilliant idea....

Intel At $7.91 In After Hours Trading ?

Q: Last after hours trading of 45,000 shares of Intel at $7.91. See Google and Yahoo finance. Does this make sense? Is there a mistake. Any one knows?A: Was wondering the same thing. The only news i can find is that EU is about to fine them for anticompetitive practice but this is a company that beat earning by 8ct and has billions in cash. How can a fine bring this share value to half? What prevents institutions from selling a crap load of stocks like this and then buying them back and also having everyone else's trade triggers going off as it goes down after...

Interested In Buying Stocks

Q: Good day everyone I'm totally new in stock market. My family has been discussed the issue that we firmly believe FORD will recover in a road ahead. So we have decided to buy 10-20k stocks from FORD, and will leave it for three-five years. I have following questions: Which service (internet, company or any methods) do you guys use or recommend to buy stocks? I live in Southern California. One of my premier banker (who is recommending me to invest in Mutual share) says if in a case FORD makes profits, instead of giving dividents to the share holders, they would re-invest on their company to make it stronger....

Is 3.65 A Good Buying Price?

Q: right now my average is 3.9 at 10k shares! should I average down or just wait till monday>!A: Personally, I am waiting until monday to see what happens, but then again I want to keep some money on the sidelines and watch for other opportunitiesI am averaged in @ 4.14 and kind of unnerved today, but considering everyone elses earnings posts who ever posts seems down by the end of the day, so maybe monday is our day up when BAC posts earnings above 6? a share if u think is opening up on monday or will hit 4.5 soon, why not buy at this point?! bc I...

Is Buying Stocks Good For The Economy?

Q: I have always thought that buying stocks, or investing in general, was good for the economy. Giving businesses the capital they need to grow and all that. Recently I started to question this as I considered the alternatives. Keeping money in the bank makes it available for mortgages and loans to business from the bank. Spending it is also good for the economy. About the only thing not terribly good for the economy is storing the money in a mattress. Anyone have any opinions?A: "When you give money to the government, it is used to create jobs. When people get to keep money,...

Is There Anyone Holding This Stock

Q: Bank Error in your favor...collect 6.8 Million Dollars! http://christinaspeaks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/monopoly-bank-e... Hey Bob.....what do you think about LLL? http://www.google.com/finance?q=lll "Wallgames.com" wrote in message news:axNAl.10436$Ht3.3553@kovat.provo.novell.com...A: I am wary of buying LLL now because: 1. There are *real* bargains out there 2. I am buying stocks with reasonable dividend rates, so that if they decline further, I can be rewarded with dividends. NOVL is the sad exception. At 2%, LLL is lower than I like. 3. The Forward P/E ratio is acceptable from the last 15 years, but we have set a new standard for low P/E ratios in the last 12 months. 4. The LLL price is sufficiently high (as in...

Kraft Is Dissappointing

Q: I am deeply disappointed by Kraft's dreadful performance since Irene Rosenfeld took the helm. She should apologize profusely for the Kraft's dismal results to date. Over the last quarters, Rosenfeld has shown that she does not have broad vision for expanding the Kraft brand. I have spent the last few days thinking about what Kraft can do beyond strong progress on Kraft to somehow compensate shareholders. Maybe she should give back the $11,299,535 she earned last year and take a pay cut. Let's start with some uncomfortable truths. Kraft needs to pay more attention to brand management. Pivotal areas where the company needs to improve its brand...

Ljpc's New Deal With Sanofi Aventis>>>stocks Rocketted To .21 In After Hours

Q: LJPC's new deal with SANOFI AVENTIS>>>stocks rocketted to .21 in after hours I can find nothing related to any deal with SANOFI AVENTIS. If true, there's been no NR about it, from either of the companies. Although there must be a reason for the AM sp increase. I'm sure we'd all appreciate some factual info. I believe there are rules that companies must make deals like this public within a set time frame. So I guess we'll have to wait and see.A: Is it possible that this is the source of your "new deal".

Long Term Or Short Term?

Q: I heard that Canadian banks, especially now, are now good to hold onto, rather than sell once the going gets good. Is this true? I've heard the other side of the argument before, but I'm thinking long term and the rates are so low it's hard to find something worthwhile.A: Absolutely long term. In February 2010, I would expect RY to be at around 70. Canadian banks are in a phenominal position, especially royal. Also, look at the dividend. If you're looking for a consistent strong return for a long term investment, RY is it! There are other factors....

I mean the singapore casino has been going through a lot of trouble and slowing down in terms of construction and even to a extent, might have to just sell it off and I also heard the news of the sands macau in negotiation of selling off. Is this just a temporary squeeze?A: What do you think about MGM bankruptcy issues, debt load, extra baggage? Let's use the words that you have been hearing for all casino stocks...."IT'S BAKED IN" the stock price....as if...

This could happen quickly, if the shorts continue to dig in their heels and they are forced to cover, then have to...

Mark-to-market Change Is Nonevent For Stocks

Q: Mark-to-market change might be nonevent for stocks. With Thursday decision already baked in, enthusiasm might be short lived.. NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- For weeks, investors have been expecting regulators to change accounting rules that would allow banks to recoup some losses already taken on illiquid mortgage assets, making Thursday's official decision by the Financial Accounting Standards Board almost a nonevent, analysts said.A: "But if the new rules can allow them to price these assets higher, they won't have as much of an incentive to sell them and therefore it doesn't make complete sense with Geithner's plans," Fitzpatrick said That's exactly what I've been saying. The 2 contradict each...

Meredith Whitney On Blomberg Said We Are Not Near The Bottom

We all know we haven't hit bottom, but with Geithner on tv almost daily spewing crap, faz is slowing tanking, I hope it does test March lows cause this is bull that they manipulate the market so muchA: The market as a whole isn't the financials. The financials were beaten down badly, the baby was thrown out with the bath water, we saw financials being valued UNDER book. That didn't happen with any sector the way it did with financials. So no suprise, the most beaten down leads the way...

Might Be A Good Time To Start Buying Stocks

Q: Wish I'd bought big after 9/11. I wish I had listened to all those obnoxious commercials and bought gold 2 years ago.A: I wish I had listened to all those obnoxious commercials and bought gold 2 years ago. My father told me never to grow old. I shoulda listened. I bought an ounce of gold for around $300 in 2000. Nearly tripled in value since then. The cocksuckahs that dropped the gold standard are.........well...........COCKSUCKAHS! See I had the opposite problem, I went throgh mid-life crisis in 7th grade. Then, when I got married, I started becoming more and more childish....

What's happening on May 5th? apart from insiders buying, I being buying for the last two months now, did any one notince -:) the next thursday I guess, will be the day!!!! May 5th is the Annual Stockholders Meeting, SilverCloud. I suspect that some good news is about to arise because you have to at least buy in a month before to be included for dividends and the like.

Took some profits along the way but I never lost my position concerning #shares owned at the good low price. Who knows what happpens from here but we may not be seeing 2/share again this decade - better load in now at 3 - 3.25/share if you are short or in cash. My greedy day trading half tells me to sell at...

My Day Trading Days Are Over

Q: The day I invested in SPSN, I was eager to get in and I was almost certain that the price per share would sky rocket. Even after doing my due diligence I felt that I was buying in at such a good price. Though it still seems that this stock would rise soon, it seems that it has been stuck around the .17-.22 range. I bought this stock at almost double the lower part of that range. So as you can tell that I am definitely in for the long haul. I've come to realize that whenever the price per share kicks my...

I want to highlight about one thing in the article "Banks will also be allowed to exclude from net income any losses they deem "temporary," making it easier to provide a flattering earnings picture, said Kersting at Edward Jones." So don't be long term investor in banks now..Take the profit and get out soon.. Also Jim Rogers on Bloomberg says we would be seeing more new bottoms soon.. But for this week , i think it still belong to bulls.A: Great insights and lets not forget Pandit coming out a month ago when the market was set to tank and announcing they had made 17 billion in Jan...

Newsflash For Citi Pumpers

Q: A lot of things you might already know. The preferred conversion is going ahead at $3.25, after the stress test results are made public. This means that Citi expects to still be worth $3.25 at the end of April. Common shares, however, are still hard to find and getting more expensive to short. The housing crisis is mostly priced at having hit the bottom, but Freddie Mac reiterated that it should be at a bottom, so more confidence doesn't hurt, and that improves Citi's bottom line. Rumour has it, after Citi's treading-water earnings, that they'll "fail" the stress test, so that will keep getting priced in until...

New To This Whole Stocks Game.

Q: I've always wanted to buy stocks and I did about a week and a half ago with some of my tax return money I got back. I bought 1000 shares of KV.a and plan to hold on to them until maybe they'd reach $10.00 a share, hopefully a year down the line. I figure that as soon as the FDA approves the production of their medication again, that the stock prices will jump up a few dollars and continue to rise because they make drugs no one else does, that people need, and there is such a shortage of drugs that everyone will buy from them despite...

Not A Scam?

Q: Has anyone out there considered the possibility that PPD is *not* a scam? Every month the members that they have are paying for this service and, pardon the paradox but, the statistics show that the longer that someone has the service the longer that person stays. How can this company be on the brink of collapse (and the price is assuming that that is right around the corner) if the company is getting a direct deposit every month from those members. Whatever the reason for it, some of them do stay long term. The product is not perfect, but it is not bad and I am not...

Not Much Of A Pull Back

Q: By the way, you spelled commodity wrong. Yeah FAZ people are dumb, bear markets are a lot shorter than bull markets and with all the monitary and fiscal policies our gov't and gov'ts world wide are doing, this reccession will be over sooner than people think. There are acutally idiots on the FAZ boards that think we're going back down to the March lows haha.

Nvax Stock Or Ino For Swine Flu

Q: I believe NVAX is oversold on speculation that they might help in a vaccine. Keep in mind that a vaccine will take 60 - 120 days just to create and then marketing will be much greater. Also, government regulators will KILL any attempts for profit on this outbreak. Remember that "greed" is a bad word now a days. I prefer INO as it is under priced and not a "clinical stage" company. It plays a more supportive role.A: The vaccine has yet to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration, meaning there aren't any chances for the drug to be released for commercial distribution yet. However, in case of...

Obama Stock Rally Continues

Q: Obama stock rally continuesDJIA nears 8000 as the Obama stock rally continues. In related news, record numbers of republicans are committing suicide.A: Nope.

Why do you tell lies that are so easily refuted? www.businessweek.com/investor/content/apr2009/pi2009042_653376.htm "U.S. stocks closed sharply higher Thursday as investors' hopes for an economic rebound continued to grow. Stoking that optimism: A loosening of the mark-to-market accounting rule used by banks, economic stimulus pacts reached by leaders of the G20, and better-than-expected U.S. factory orders data.

I'm a very new investor, with very little money, and so I was rather displeased with your comments last night about SKF. You claim that SKF isn't designed to make money in the long term, which fooled so many of your viewers who thought it was. But Jim, it says right in their prospectus (and again in their FAQ section of their website) that SKF isn't designed for long term goals. You have an answer for this retort....

Ping Ramashiva! China's Gold Reserves

Q: April 24 (Bloomberg) -- China boosted its gold reserves by 76 percent since 2003 and has the world's fifth-biggest holding by country, said Hu Xiaolian, head of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. The nation increased its reserves by 454 tons to 1,054 tons through domestic purchases and refining scrap metal, Hu said in an interview with the Xinhua News Agency today. The amount is more than Switzerland's 1,040 tons, World Gold Council data show, and is worth $31 billion at current prices. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has expressed concern the dollar will weaken, eroding the value of China's holdings of Treasuries, as the U.S. borrows unprecedented amounts...

Question For Faz Folks

Q: Do you think the smoke and mirrors since March 9 was a scheme to inflate bank share prices, so that when nationalization (stated as "buying shares") is finally instituted the bank stocks will simply ride back down to their March 9 levels? I am really beginning to wonder. What do you guys think? If this is the case, then this should mean that the next couple of weeks should be fairly good to take more risks with holding FAZ longer than a day, no? Good luck trading.A: I got back in at $8.58 and plan to simply adjust my stop-loss daily depending on movement. My current...

Question For Sawri And Easy

Q: I learned a lot from your posts in the past couple months. Appreciate that. You have been mentioning double sided trading for unpredictable market that could go up or down fast. Want to know how 's your consideration for below scenario: You sold half of your LVS shares at Price A and take profit (which is good), then market hovering around Price A for quite some time and even dipped a bit, but it never dropped low enough to your next re- entry point. Then suddenly it exploded and take off, and seems never come back to price A. (which is half good, half bad, coz you...

Rally! Rally! - The "economic Downturn" Is Over!

Q: Buy up as much as you can. Happy days are here again... WE are in recession dumbass. KEEP FLYING KEEP FLYING. hooray we are losing money... YES MILLION OF DOLLAR IN GDP. Thank you for shrinking GDP.A: Absolutely! Buy a ton of bank stocks and some homebuilders while you're at it. I highly recommend transferring some money via cash advance off of your capital one card and going all out on margin to buy as much stock as you can. Hell, since the housing crisis is solved, go see if you can get a home equity loan to pump into buying stocks on margin. Ford keeps...

Reason Behind Citi Is Down!

Q: In present economic scenario all are restless and looking for quick proft to take maximum advantage from a instable market. When prices will be moderately setteled citi will be in new form. Definitely this stock is going to be $20 in 2010. Only long will qualify to win this. I am sure after BAC report it will also down.Because some people sold out citi and moved into BAC. Because after BAC result people will reconsider to enter into Citi because of undervalued stock and Citi will start moving upwards. People got the confidence in market because of other bank followed by citi performance.That validates my logic why citi...

Record Foreclosures - Market Will Rise

Q: I have decided to not fight the market any more. This is obviously bad news so the market should rise at least 250 points. So, I plan to be all in on FAS at open today. I should be able to retire by this afternoon. I plan to buy at open, then go for a nice round of golf. When I return, I will cash out and retire. This is a good plan and I'm sticking to it. Actually it is days like this that I totally stay out of the market because there is no way to...

Rising On Earning Expectations?

Q: What's interesting is they never got TARP and they started processing loans again for a third party (correct) .... JPM covers them .... This could either be a cinderalla story or a fiasco - if they are stabilizing without TARP - this could be a good part II story to all this mess. Any you folks use AMTD? Jaywalk has an improved "hold" rating of 2.95 for ETFC from something like 3.35 ..... tempting but need more info.A: Anyone care to take a guess why this shot up 23% today? Is it because of Citi's better than expected report earnings? Just looking at the...

Scotiabank Ceo Sees Signs Of Financial Stability

Q: There are indications the global financial system has begun to stabilize, which is needed for the rest of the economy to recover, Bank of Nova Scotia's chief executive said on Tuesday. "My sense is that the financial system, and this includes globally, is beginning to stabilize. So economies will stabilize, I expect, near the end of the year," Richard Waugh told a business gathering in Vancouver. Stabilization of the financial systems will allow consumers and businesses to take advantage of economic stimulus actions being taken by governments around the world, Waugh said. http://ca.news.finance.yahoo.com/s/24032009/6/finance-scotiabank-ceo-...A: Keep dreaming Richard Waugh. You can't make up for a decade and a half of debt financed...

Sell Sell Sell

Q: Johnjones.. just spoke with my brokerage (choicetrade) and they said for my daytrade account, they count the multiple accumulation purchases and single liquidation sell as one daytrade!! Hmm.. maybe different brokerages handle it differently.. or is it a specific SEC definition for all? Maybe they assumed i had 25k+..my account still seems to allow me more trade, whereas when it was a cash account, it would bar me from further trading until the funds settled. Kinda want in fas again but don't want any nasty pattern daytrader violations..what to do...what to do...A: You can buy and sell all you want, as long as you don't buy and...

Short Is A Poison That Will Hunt You Back

Q: yea if you sell you may save some of your money! With Citi announcing profitability I strongly advice; get out of this stock!! Everytime this market rallies, it's because of some fool's happy talk. Whether it's Bernanke, some Citibank director, Geithner or even Obama love him as I do. There's a lot of correcting to be done here. The happy-talk rallies are but vapors.A: If you read his posts you can tell hes very unintelligent... which just further leads me to believe that buying this ETF is the right moveSKF is STILL the greatest thing ever. Only a moron would have held the thing past...

Sold 1 Million Shares Today

Q: I bought 3 million shares between $0.0141 and $0.0154 My calculations show price to decline to around $0.002 by the third or 4th week of april. So far this stock has been a mistake for me.A: with my calculation, this company is stealing investor money. They will do whatver to keep you in. But they ahve no money, and no property. The controllers of the company are stealing all money. There are, as I have heard, more than 1000 people invested in this company. They need to be told, and quickly told, that this company is a scam! They7 will tell you anything necessary to keep you! It is a...

Solution... Govt Give Money To C For Free.. Not Buying Stocks

Q: Solution... Government has to give money to C for free.. not buying C stocks which will decrease the value !!!A: Why? So every taxpayer can help prop up the investment of a few. You receive investment returns for (1) the use of your capitol and (2) assuming the risk of decreased value up to and including bankruptcy. Why on earth should all taxpayers subsidize the free market contract equity shareholders entered into? Another Solution... Let them go bankrupt so that companies that didn't act irresponsibly can absorb the market share that is rightfully theirs for being efficient and responsible capitalists. Oh wait, no we'd rather the government...

So Who's Buying Stocks On Monday?

Q: The stock market soared back up to pre-bust roaring-90's levels last week, the real estate bubble has started to burst nationwide, all the people who ran away scared from stocks 6 years ago and sank all their money into real estate are now reconsidering, looks like there's a massive shift back to stocks again. Anyone got any money left to invest?A: Not true: they don't necessarily have the money. Idiots buy on margin, a major reason for the idiotic runups of imaginary wealth in the late 1920s and late 1990s. Stocks as a whole are overpriced. And real estate isn't? I would add that government...

S&p The Market And Hban

Q: Well i think part of the reason why the indexes along with the stocks went down was because the the S&P hit a resistence level yesterday at around 860 and used the few bad news as an excuse to sell off. Now, awhile back when the banks were getting cocky about how they wanted to pay the feds back ASAP, the market took it as a positive news sending the bank shares up. Now, G.Sachs comes out ahead of time saying that it's going to pay the feds and the market is taking it negatively GO FIGURE.!! It just tells you how inconsistent the investors are....

Stock News

Q: The Markets closed the session on a flat note after huge volatility throughout the day. The BSE 30-share Sensex rose 61.52 points or 0.57%, up close to 145 points from the day's low and off close to 130 points from the day's high. The Sensex registered its highest closing in nearly six months. Buying in shares of realty, select banking, metal, capital goods companies and in stocks like Bharti and Reliance Industries helped the markets while the sell-off in FMCG stocks, ONGC, NTPC, BHEL, Wipro, Reliance Communication, and Suzlon Energy capped the gains. It seemed that the benchmark indices broke five-day winning streak. Broader indices remained outperformers for the...

Stocks Rally For Fifth Straight Week

Q: This Is Why Warren Buffett Says It's a "Great Time to Be in Banking" http://www.cnbc.com/id/30137024 Sure...when the Treasury Secty. is in your pocket and giving away free money for lavish bonuses I guess it is a great time to be in banking. What ever happened to H.R.1586?A: Sure...when the Treasury Secty. is in your pocket and giving away free money for lavish bonuses I guess it is a great time to be in banking. What ever happened to H.R.1586? "A great time to get past the past" Maybe they can send this new and important information out via text message. Or, print it on a Tshirt....This...

Stocks Similar To Mo And Pm In Other Sectors

Q: Are there other stocks in different sectors that are similar to MO and PM? Can you let us know? Thank you.A: There aren't too many industries that sell a- literally- addictive product to their consumers. Considering that Altria has such a significant market share in the tobacco industry and always returns a large amount of its profits to its shareholders, you are unlikely to find too many stocks like MO in other sectors. Master Limited Partnerships have high yields because they return a large amount of cashflow to their stockholders. Kramer and Morningstar picks that I own include KMP(...

Stop The Panic Bull ! This Is The Time To By And Hold!

Q: I don't understand why traders don't do there homework. Sometimes you need to understand the fundamentals analysis. Tech Mahindra Limited, wants to get the price down so they can get another bargin on buying 20% more common shares. That's why they are saying to delisting from europe. The cheaper they can buy your shares, they get even a better bargin then they got in the bidding war they won. PEOPLE WAKE UP! Smell the roses! Think, Think, Think, do your research!!! A lot of people are in for the short tem buck, which is fine, however, if you don't keep a stock for at least a year you will pay...

Suggest Some Penny Stocks

Q: Can you guys suggest some other penny stocks like CTIC? I luv the way CTIC is moving... Yeah heres a couple.... CTIC CTIC CTIC CTIC, these companies dont come around to often. It's not like an everyday thing or I'm sure we'd all be rich. I don't own that much of CTIC, since im only 16,2000 shares :), a small fraction of the sleeper. But anyone else watching NFLD for their hopefully FDA approved drug by 4/30.?A: yeah tdlp has made me a boatload for about a year...... Transdel Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Symbol On Ocbb Is Now Uvsee Not Uvse Anymore

Q: What's going on? on the OCbb site it now says Detailed Quote for Universal Energy Corp. (UVSEE) Probably not an error buddy, I had five (5) oil stocks all have changed symbols this morning. What is going on? I just buy uvse in scottrade under uvsee symbol a few minutes ago. It worked, and is also named Universal Energy Corp., so things must of changed recently.A: "E" Added To Stock Ticker Symbol When a company that trades on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB) becomes delinquent in its reporting obligations with the SEC (for example, it submits a required filing late or in an incomplete form),...

Tantric Thursday - Jpm Goog And Bears Oh My! April 16, 2009

Q: that damn crashstocks guy! every f-n time. He makes me want to punch babies. I'm not sure why he pisses me off so much, but he just does. hey ATU and Santelli. How are you playing the C earnings? GE earnings? I was thinking of buying 200 C if it dips below 4 again today, but shoulda bought yesterday. GE a bit too high for my pricing, as I was looking below 10, but I do think they will be safer long term. what say you guys?A: I did time the first sell ok at 8.96, as it dropped post the sell, but my buy was set for...

Tata To Excel To $20-25 Range Soon

Q: TTM to rocket in $ 20- 25 range.....Guys- Time to get hold of TTM even at this price....the Tata outlook is phenomenal....this company just launched new commercial trucks in Africa....check out the news....Nano sales are performing brilliantly...thisA: I totally agree. There are some morons on this earth who think they can influence the market by their stupid posts on the message board. And then there are some even bigger assholes who make these morons look smart, by actually reading their posts. The "rationality" assumption should be completely scrapped from all Finance literature, in order to accommodate these stupid assholes. Wonder how these sons of beaches s earn...

The All-in-one Takeover Thread

Q: Opti has funds and credit that should be able to last it till the end of 2010. They may breach a debt covanent and get their revolver pulled, but I see that as remote. Yes, they may get a low ball offer. It's wait and see on that one but with UTS rejecting Total SA's low ball offer combined with the fact that Nexen has the right to match any outside offer and I think we might see something fair - IF and offer is made. Opti needs oil at $60 CDN (48US) and to be producing at full capacity in order to be self...

The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

Q: Thanks for the excellent review, Alan. It reminded me of a lot of things I had forgotten, as well as things I never realized in the first place. Carter did indeed inherit the long-term results of LBJ's disastrous "guns and butter" policy. LBJ's Great Society entitlement programs have festooned themselves upon the Federal government, and remain even today. I can give Carter kinda, sorta a pass on the economic problems, but his foreign policy blunders were all his own doing. He still continues to this day, sucking up to foreign Totalitarians all over the world. Maybe not the worst President of the 20th Century, but sure as Hell the worst ex-president....

The Heat Is On ...the Heat Is On

Q: I SEE ...Goodbye 0,50 ! ... coming soon, passing probably faster 1, 2 $ then ... sitting @ 3,50 $ for a while IMO From the weekly chart, looks like a pennant is forming, eh?A: Yep, it's finally sunk into my thick skull. I won't be considering any sells at the "peaks" with the hopes of buying more in at the dips. That plan is just too risky at this point in time. I plan to keep buying more as I can at whatever price it's at. (it's getting too darn hot with this one to keep denying that the...

These Market Rallies Are Temporary

Q: Did you notice that the only ones recording a profit were those same banks who received TARP monies from the government. How ironic. I suppose most of us would show a profit if we had been handed billions.A: FASB ruling just over a week ago to use mark-to-model basically allowed banks to cook books. I doubt it would help economy because it only further obscures the true value of their milti-trillion dollar balance sheets and and more importantly their off-balance sheet derivative bets. Credit will remain frozen, unemployment and housing crises will continue to escalate. And The Fed will continue being the only market for credit, corporate...

The Smoke And Mirrors Will Disappear, And Bank Stocks Will Plummet

Q: the below statement gives you only a glimpse at how much the banks have manipulated their data, so much so no one really knows the present status of the banks. that does not bode well for the banks, with Ob and the Fed proposing buying shares, recent leaks that the stress tests were not too pretty, and also that the from-march-9th- ramp-up was a complete farce. be careful and keep your stop losses tight. Bank of America Corporation (NYSE: BAC) this morning reported its 1Q09 net income at $4.2 billion and diluted earnings (after preferred dividends) of $0.44 per share, ahead of the median expectations of $0.04 per share. We...

This Stock Expected To Move!

Q: HERO is a well managed corp. With the rise of crude oil, expect this stock to rise in price. Do your homework, at $60 a barrel all plateforms in the Gulf of Mexico will crank up. Hero had a avg stock price of $25 last 5 yrs. Last insider trade 40,000 shares this month. With hurricane and traveling season approaching, demand for fuel will rise so will the price of this stock. Good luck!A: It's about time we start seeing a good trend in this stock. I'd estimate (opinion) that we'll start to see people taking notice withing the next 2 weeks. The trend is...

This Stock Is Going Down Below It's 52 Week Low.

Q: Guys if you are holding this stock then be aware that the flooring industry has been at a standstill for the last 6 months. Most carpet mills are idle, very few people are remodeling, people are not using as much tile, marble, granite for renovations and if they are very less quantities are being used. The commercial business is down to a standstill. Mohawk/Daltile dominates commercial specifications, however that business is down nearly 70 percent. I am very sure that the first quarter report is going to be very dismal and I won't be surprised that they might be announcing reorganization of their businesses (their sales must have fallen...

This Stock Will Perform Will In The Otc When It Hits The Pink Tomorrow

Q: This will be a strong penny stock for the pink sheets...they think the bankruptcy will only lats 3 or 4 months, then look out!

You know at this price for a person just starting 500 shares is good to learn.We all as investors make mistakes so always be ready...

Time To Short Ldk?

Q: I like your strategy Luth. I am going to go for ENER. I was going to buy today, but held off. I am going to sell my RIMM buy Thursday after the quarterly report, whether it is a loss or win. And then move to ENER. I think the bank stocks make get a big jump Thursday, because Mark to Market is being restructured. I am too heavily in BAC now, so I would only go for Wells Fargo if that dropped tomorrow heavily. Otherwise, ENER makes a lot of sense. I have a feeling we are on a good roll now. I am also seeing...

Tips For Avoiding Stock Scams

Q: Just a reminder for everyone ... "One of the most common Internet frauds involves the classic "pump and dump" scheme. Here's how it works: A company's web site may feature a glowing press release about its financial health or some new product or innovation. Newsletters that purport to offer unbiased recommendations may suddenly tout the company as the latest "hot" stock. Messages in chat rooms and bulletin board postings may urge you to buy the stock quickly or to sell before the price goes down. Or you may even hear the company mentioned by a radio or TV analyst. Unwitting investors then purchase the stock in droves, creating...

To Buy Or Not To Buy

Q: Ok, new to the investing thing. Huge fan of Apple. bought 10 shares at 94 and sold them recently at 113 thinking the stock would dip again. The stock just seems to keep climbing and Im wondering should I eat the loss and just buy back in. or wait out a drop for a better entry point. Any opinions would be appreciatedA: Also minus ST Cap Gains Tax (unless sheltered.) But his question was should he buy in now. Answer: You better get a good understanding of what your trying to do before you make any buying decisions. Buy and hold...

Top Stock For "buying On Weakness

Q: Exxon has not participated in the "rally" which has been mainly gamblers jumping into dirt cheap stocks. If the rally is going to have real legs XOM and MSFT must get above their 50 day averages. If your a bull and want the S & P to break 900 then XOM must get out there and lead the way. XOM under $70 per share is a great long term bargain. I loaded up today and plan to buy my other 1/2 later if prices continue to weaken.A: XOM stock price never really went down much compared to other oil and gas plays. It is not...

Umm Its A Sponge

Q: Its not rising even after HSN and all the commericals becuase ITS A SPONGE!!!! LMAO buying stock in this is hiliarious!! A Sponge going to blast off to many dollars a share..get real.. ahhw ell have fun wishing!A: I'm new at this -- I admit it now!!! So, Dogondo just said that hopefully people don't put too much in a penny stock. Well, how much is too much? I bought $900 worth of SPNG this morning. But I had done some research on this company for the past week and it really seems good to me. I had planned to buy some...

Uptick Rule Change Next Week

Q: yea, BAC isn't going to be as fun anymore once the volatility slows down, I don't think. :( I kinda think that everyting was just silent today before the storm. I think people who play already have their positions, either short or long and we are just in a waiting pattern for the fireworks next week when we start seeing a lot more earnings reports. I mean, I have money sitting on the table now that i simply didn't put anywhere, (probably a mistake since there were obviously plenty of things going on today), but I just wasn't inclined to make any moves since I've established my positions...

Up To 200% In 2 Weeks

Q: This stock has a great potential, when they start mining operations, GXPI can go up to 200 % in 2 weeks. I own 9000000 shares and my feeling about this stock is good, I just don't understand why people dump this stock today.A: Don't mean to jump in, but I think any brokerage can initiate your purchase. On larger qty. it is sometimes best to purchase in lots compared to all at once which may spike stock during your purchase. I purchased 2,000,000 at $.0006 and had to wait a few days to get the buy to go through at my limit. I also gave...

Various Potential Bases Of Money

Q: Is there some reason they would not have it? Part of what's been going on, is that as some economies have collapsed, the elites have left, bringing all the gold they could carry out, and then selling it on arrival in a more stable developed economy. Its a damn moot point how much is still out in undeveloped economies (that tend to be even more corrupt), and how far down the global economy will get. Whatever it is, its limited like an oil well, and when it runs out the price will go thru the roof. Back in the gold rush days, the government had some control...

Was It Just An Oversold Bounce Or Is The Bottom In?

Q: I think it was just an oversold bounce, but the bull in me wants to believe the bottom is in. What do you guys think will happen from here. I think we'll definitely test the lows or go lower once again sadly... Charts however say we could rally a couple more trading sessions. To see what I have been doing to beat the market and create wealth of my holdings check out my blog http://www.optionmaestro.comA: Well it was an oversold bounce as today's sell-off showed. I think we'll see a revisit of the early march low's and that will be the bottom well placed into the market. But...

Wells Fargo News Influx Yesterday?

Q: there is no material news by wells fargo... yesterday there were repeated news of 2008 profits... all other news are future intentions. Is wells fargo trying to spread news thorugh forward looking statements to gain in market.... What do you guys think?A: By the way it is more like a question than anything else to pick bright brains there. Do not disrepect by posting your block far-sightedness. It takes away the udnerstanding that new traders like me are looking forward to. if anyone was making money or was a great brainer, one would not look for help from otehrs and pass judgements, If you can not help...

Q: Based on Google balance sheet, Total equity of 99,068 / 4,228.63 shares outstanding, Book value is $23.43. Based on Yahoo balance sheet, total equity of 99,084 / 4240 shares outstanding, Book value is $23.37.

A $25 book trading during "normal" boring market activity would price this gem at $57 per share. An eventual $4 EPS will bring $48 per share. Somewhere in between $48 to $57 the truth can be found. It's $20...

I need some inspiration...A: I did a buy-write on April Crude. Buying at 52.25 and selling the May 56 call @ 1.73. I'm looking for crude to get to at least 56 or 57 by the...

What Happens To The Stock Prices Now?

Q: Since the company is in bankruptcy, what happens to the stock prices? Also, didn't the company officer claim couple of weeks ago that they were not going to go bankrupt? I remember something to that effect.A: They lock trading so the price doesn't drop to nothing. Since it's Chap 11, the government oversees them while they reorganize and try to fix things. If they survive chapter 11 and come out of it things will continue as normal. If they actually go bankrupt (Chap 7) then your investment is worthless. The company will be liquidated, debtors/ shares paid off in a particular order (note: if you're...

Q: What is a good online stock trading company? I have sharebuilder and they r ok but r they worth investing with are they good at all?A: Hi punkguy, I had Sharebuilder,but didnt find them to be very helpful in even the most basic questions. So I switched to Firstrade and I like them a lot. They have inexpensive trades($6.95) ,friendly and helpful customer service and fast efficient execution of orders. That's about all you can expect from them and if you want more then perhaps another broker would be a better choice for you. Firstrade is just right for me as I do all...

Which Penny Stocks To Buy

Q: Hi guys....i am interested in buying penny stocks...Can anyone of u guys sugest me which penny stocks to buy...i am new to this trading.......A: Here are some of my favorites - they have good volatility so you can easily make some money... CTIC KRY KERX ANSV They are high-risk, high-reward so be careful. I've had excellent luck catching them as they get somewhat near their 52-week low and selling on the next spike. I'm hoping to see PRC spike soon - I caught them at $0.20 - 1 penny up from their 52-week low. Every penny it goes up is almost 5% profit! The best thing I can...

Why Did Us Buy Preferred Stocks As Opposed To The Toxic Assets (or Common Stock Or Bonds Of The Distressed Financial Companies)?

Q: Why did US buy preferred stocks as opposed to the toxic assets (or common stock or bonds of the distressed financial companies)? What was the reason(s) that the US government bought out several hundreds of billions of dollars worth of preferred stocks over the common equity or bonds of the financial institutions? Why didn't they buy the toxic assets themselves from the banks? Also, when the US government "nationalised" the banks by buying into them, I have a couple of questions on this: 1. Did they buy newly issued shares of the banks? This is the most plausible explanation to me, since this would re-capitalize/finance the bank's...

Why Is Srs Creating New Lows Today?

Q: Even though Market is slightly up this keeps creating new lows. Any thoughts? You have to realize that many of the stocks (REITS) were heavily shorted and now you short covering during this rally pushing up the stocks. There is nothing remotely fundamental to justify the buying of these stocks. You also have to remember that many of these companies are keeping cash and issuing stocks as dividends, that leaves cash to do stock buy backs. Look around and you see vacant commercial properties everywhere. This is not a quick day trade but you can make some money when the sh#t hit the fan if you keep a...

Why Is This Tanking!?!

Q: WHY IS THIS TANKINGTried the email address but doesn't go through! ?A: I grabbed some of this stock, a bit too late for the first POP as I'm down a bit, but none-the-less I'll hold for a quarter or two. The spongebob and some of the other character based licensing possibilities is an excellent sign (that's what convinced me). Also because they hold patents on their technology. Think about the # of uses and licenses that can be enacted upon. Car washing is stage one, then body washing (sponge bob), then dishwashing. Think big, like palmolive (colgate) partnership and Arm & Hammer and P &...

Why This Stock Is Dropping??

Q: You are correct that a huge buy will increase the price which is why I think we saw EBHI close slightly higher than .26 and go up to .28 in after hour trading. The short sale would explain why there was such a rapid loss of value the past few days/weeks. If my analysis is correct and this is a price manipulation by a large institution, over the past few days/weeks they would have short sold millions of shares. They did not actually own these shares that they sold but would be borrowing them from a larger institution. Because of all the new...

Why You Should Still Be Buying Dxo

Q: Anyone care to put up some good info on bearish strategies, it would be appreciated. I do buy puts to short, don't really short the actual equities, but I guess I could.A: There are rumblings that China plans to announce in the near future that it will increase its spending on welfare in the to prevent the social unrest that many fear it will experience if the jobs market does not improve soon. Additional spending in infrastructure may be announced as well. Other banks, which might have been forced, into buying troubled companies include Wells Fargo (WFC), which acquired Wachovia (WB) several months ago. As...

Even if crosses 1 cent, I am ready to sell....bu the question is if it can ever reach 3.03??A: EVER? Yes. Soon? depends on your definition of near future.

I'm in @ 2.84, and am waiting for earnings reports to see if I sell on the 17th when C reports, or...

Would Aib Be A Good Dividend Stock?

Q: Would AIB be a good dividend stock?Hold and accumulate is the game plan long AIB/IRE. Dividends will come back most likely next quarter. The banking industry is not as bad as the media tries to make it look. For some reason negative news sells and people are sheep to that. Hold and accumulate AIB/IRE and you will be very rewarded.A: I doubt institutions are buying AIB when there are so many other quality dividend paying stocks in the sector to choose from, they will buy AIB when all the noise with NAMA filters out and there is clarity to it's potential dillution, for now this is...

Yeah...:) Monday Price Predictions?

Q: Adam that's correct but I look at things outside the range of last nine months. Before the current increase in volume which might I say still leaves some doubts about actual new shares traded. The OPC share price drop has been achieved on very low volume even before Lehman. One would expect the retrace of upward movement to mimic the downward volume trend. That's not what we are seeing so other forces are in play. That makes TA or fundamentals of OPC stock irrelevant at present.A: John, if only we knew more specifics behind that volume. As I said on Friday it seemed like a lot of...

You Will Really Laugh At These Prices

Q: Man, I can't understand this. When C is up 15-20% in one day the optimism in here is like - "C will be $6-7 in a week!!! SKYROCKET!" and when C is down 8-10% the pesimism in here is unbelievable - "C will be $1.5-2.5 SOON!!" and all the rookies sell their shares in panic like yesterday. Of course it goes down if it's been up 100-150% in 1-2 weeks? Just normal. And you will laugh at these prices if C goes to $4-4.2 on Monday (or sometime next week) and say why you didn't buy more shares on the dip. Hold it for the longterm and...
