The post-fed announcement "rally" feels perfunctory and forced. It's like people know they're supposed to sell treasuries and buy stocks but their hearts just aren't in it. Also interesting that the RUT is only up 50bps while the SPX is up 86. Yesterday's action definitely seems to have reduced the risk appetite. Edit: goddamn I want to get short of MOT ahead of earnings. Must.maintain.discipline. Edit edit: gently caress it, BOT May $7 puts for funsies.

TAN is a bit less volatile but doesn't have the lottery-ticket appeal. In other news HPQ tendered an all-cash offer for PALM at $5.70. Both boards have agreed but there will likely be a lot of pissed off PALM shareholders wondering why they aren't getting HPQ shares. Oh, and if you're short PALM under $5.70 you're proper-hosed.

Yeah I just saw this news. If Palm couldn't revive itself with their new smart phones I doubt HP can add any luster to the brand. It'll probably just get absorbed into the HP brand and they'll start trying to market their own smart mobiles.

I think it might be the right time to lighten up on BIDU. Still even at $700 it is better than GOOG. I do think over $860 its a short though. TSL is the best solar in my opinion although the EURO is the biggest risk to the sector and I'd be worried should it start falling below 1.30.

Check out "DCTH" Delcath systems. It's a Biotech stock that's currently in Stage 3 of clinical trials for a drug that is a more effective way to administer chemotherapy for liver cancer patients. It jumped by 30% in aftermarket trading about a week ago on news that the clinical trials are going well. News on whether or not their drug gets FDA approval will be in the middle of May. IF it gets the final approval from the FDA it's going to jump from 16 to 20-25 a share.

A p value of 0.001 with a hazard ratio of 0.46 IS worth mentioning though, please don't tell me you just jumped into this on a whim without knowing anything about the FDA approval process or what these numbers mean. destructo fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Apr 29, 2010 |

I'm a long term investor who attempts to hold stock in my ROTH for at least over a year before considering selling, sans catastrophic events or a need to further diversify. Since it is in my ROTH and I have a tax shelter for earnings, I also attempt to stick to dividend paying stocks. Last year I did fairly well with GE, HNZ and MRK. I sold half of my GE at $14 based on the need to reallocate for diversify (bought at ~$7) and now am considering selling more at $20. HNZ and GE both promised to increase their dividend, which has the stock prices up, but I'm lost on what is the best way to go. If I do sell them I'll have to look into other dividend stocks to replace them, any advice? Anubis fucked around with this message at 14:03 on Apr 30, 2010 |

RIG is getting butchered over that spill, glad I didn't get in when I was eyeing it a month ago. Though I guess once the extent of the damage/reparations is clear it might be worth jumping in. God knows how long the probe will take though.

Since it is in my ROTH and I have a tax shelter for earnings, I also attempt to stick to dividend paying stocks. I'm hoping Altria (MO) comes down a little bit. REITs are good dividend payers, but risky right now (see: cheap). Some of the more secure and consistent dividend payer/increasers come with a bit of a heavy price tag that would make you end up getting poo poo for shares. Cheesemaster200 posted:What do you think are the possible outcomes over in Europe to that mess? I couldn't imagine any outcome other than a bail out. There is a lot of posturing being done, but ultimately if Greece wasn't helped the EU would be cutting off its nose to spite its face. Edit: The Greek unions though are hilarious and if their behavior ends up getting Greece in trouble, they deserve the Hell on Earth they so desperately seem to be trying to make for themselves. The unions over there would put the worst of our worst bankers to shame with their greed. Jabbu fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Apr 30, 2010 |

How long do you think till this house of cards comes crashing back down? What's your plan this time around? Also curious if anyone has any particular event in mind for "when I see this happen, I'm getting the f*** out." Side Note: You guys feel it's time to take profits and run in small cap / russell 2000? If it's time to get out of small cap what should I move into with those funds? PianoDragn fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Apr 30, 2010 |

PianoDragn posted:How long do you think till this house of cards comes crashing back down? What's your plan this time around? Also curious if anyone has any particular event in mind for "when I see this happen, I'm getting the f*** out." Same plan as always: Make sure to not be excessively greedy, analyze securities objectively and as efficiently as possible, spot out potential buy targets and wait for irrationalities of the market to drive them down in price, judiciously take profits, and keep enough cash on hand to capitalize on the next major downturn, all while keeping in mind that if the next major downturn is truly the last one then there isn't any harm in putting your cash into stocks or other investments because your cash will either be useless on one side (economy crashes) or you will rake in massive returns (economy recovers). As to when or what event may trigger another downturn, I can't tell you right now and I may not be able to tell you even when it happens, which is why the only rational thing to do is adopt investing and capital allocation strategies that are able to adapt and don't rely on predicting market trends but rather capitalizing on them. Discipline is so important. One of the best things I ever learned in investing was to be able to look at my decisions and realize when I was truly investing and when I was speculating, and adjust the amount of money I put in and when to get out accordingly. The biggest event I'm concerned about in all honesty is whether or not when the Bush tax cuts expire, if something better or worse will ultimately get passed.

I don't think, barring catastrophe, that "this house of cards" is going to do a repeat of 2008/2009. But a shakeout is almost certain. The RUT has started trailing the SPX on the way up and leading it on dips. Similarly 10-year treasuries gain faster than the SPX falls. Q2 earnings have been fantastic, yet the market's enthusiasm is starting to become muted. A 5-6% decline in May is not unfathomable, though I'm not making any (unhedged) directional bets.

I will find it hilarious if this GS witch hunt backfires on these politicians. The market is due for a pullback. Earnings and every other piece of economic news is extremely positive, but stocks are faltering. Europe is having its problems, and here they are parading around with this GS poo poo. If they're not careful, they might find themselves with a lot of pissed off voters whose 401(k)s just tanked right at the same time they started crusading to "fix" the economy.
