Cheesemaster200 posted:I am still waiting mostly in cash for at least another week. I did the same thing. I took my profits last week and I'm going to see how bad this storm gets. Friday employment numbers will be dismal post-holiday and that'll push the DOW under 10,000 which will put all the bulls into a panic. Even if I am wrong about that, I doubt I'll miss out on any profit in the next few weeks from anything. I need to learn how to short-sell.

I decided a few days ago to go long on Sirius XM. I might have hopped on this bandwagon too late, but I don't think so. Pretty sure this stock is going to at least 1.00$. I don't think this qualifies as Penny Stock discussion given their market cap and their listing on NASDAQ.

Macrophage posted:I don't know if I'd want to go long on it. With Stern's contract renewal coming up it could become a very volatile stock Realistically he's not going to leave. You're right though that his negotiations will increase the volatility of it. But they got another year extension to prevent being de-listed and the stock has been moving upward for the last year or so. The stock is in what looks like a mild downtrend at the moment, but long term uptrend. I won't hold it for much more than a year though because of 2 things, their debt load is still pretty big, and they will have to replace those satellites soon. But they added 250,000+ subscribers in the 4Q and their earnings estimate for later this month looks good. So a lot of good, a lot of bad. It's a gamble, but I didn't put much of my portfolio down so, upside I make some money, downside I lose some.

MrBigglesworth posted:Nice jump on SIRI today. Yeah, It's been kind to me in the last few days. The stock likes to break out around 3 PM, it increases in volume and usually goes up a few cents. I don't know why. It's also been getting really heavy volume, yesterday it was almost 3x avg. volume and today it'll probably be more than that.

Stopped out of SIRI today. Went from .85 to 1.09 in a week. Feeling good. I'll probably buy back in next week ahead of earnings depending on the price.

Dr. Jackal posted:Something about Liberty Media converting their preferred stocks? Misread a few articles. All that was done was evaluations of the stock done included the Liberty Media preferred Shares and the conclusion was that the stock was overvalued. I'll have to see what the stock does next week to decide what to do. VVVVVVVV Before this there was quite a bit of good news for Sirius. They had positive earnings, they were adding subscribers, they were on track to be back in compliance on the NASDAQ, and Ford was doing well which adds to their subscribers. If they economic recovery was/is coming, they were in a decent position to profit from it. The biggest worry was their debt, but if they were adding subscribers and making money, the debt became less of an issue. Duey fucked around with this message at 00:16 on Feb 27, 2010 |

Citigroup and QCOM have been really performing for me lately. Of course I made the decision to buy XLNX the week before apparent profit-taking so as always, two steps forward, one back. Wish I had posted about QCOM when I bought it so I could legitimately do a  .We'll see how Citigroup fares with the Government sell back and the Greek crisis.

D13F00L posted:I think it's a safe stock, and not overdone. Trying to figure out what happened towards the end of Jan. Might have just been profit taking. Earnings report, they reduced guidance and prompted a huge sell-off. It was way overdone too and the stock has been recovering ever since. I agree with your assessment though, it's why I bought in a few weeks ago too.

Dead Pressed posted:Sigh. I almost did the same thing, but I thought with earnings coming out for them next week I might as well take the chance. I figure they'll be better than last year and that'll put the stock up. Probably get out around 5, then wait for it to settle down. I don't think you made a stupid call though, it's shot up in the past 2 weeks something fierce, I doubt it'll sustain.

SIRI is on a tear today, up almost 13% but on pretty low volume. I guess going over 1.00$ again set it off.

MrBigglesworth posted:This makes me happy. Wish I could say the same. I bought in at 0.88 then sold out at 1.09. Then stupidly bought back in as it retraced around 1.00, then it kept retracing. Almost sold out completely at around .80. Oh well, at least my loss is all but erased now and I have Citi options making me money.

Apparently I should have jumped out of C when it hit 5.00$. Just have to hope Monday's earnings push it up and that it doesn't totally cave today. VVV Because the market is filled with Chicken Little types. Duey fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Apr 16, 2010 |

I got stopped out of Citi yesterday at 4.75, looks like I should have held on. No great loss though, I have some 2012 long calls that will be in the money shortly. There's just too much volatility in it right now to justify holding it long term. Goldman gets sued and they drop 5% in a day? Everyone is too jittery with their hands hovering over the SELL button.

destructo posted:Looks like he sold at the January pop up to ~60, now it's up 40% from there, not bad. I did the same. bought it at 48.70 pre-earnings in January because honestly, who bets against NFLX on 4Q earnings. Popped to 63 and sold out. I figured it would retrace a bit and I'd jump back in. It never did. How I wish I had just held on.

I'm right there with you on F. March started off good but apparently lost steam. I'm hopeful though and I expect them to gain a bit. Also, loving QCOM. Always lowering expectations. Am I crazy for thinking they are well poised to profit off the smartphone craze and tablet craze that's going on? At least those calls I sold at 45$ won't be exercised and if they are I'll be happy it goes up that much anyway. Duey fucked around with this message at 00:09 on Apr 23, 2010 |

I'm not suggesting Berkshire won't survive his death, just that it will suffer because of it. At any rate, that's why I don't put any money into it, instead I put it into stocks which promptly plunge! I'm looking at you QCOM.

Crap, I got out of the market in late August anticipating a long slow decline. I feel like an idiot now seeing how much everything has gone up. I know as soon as I jump back in I'll just get hammered though. At least I didn't lose money, but it would have felt good to make some.

Dr. Eldarion posted:Ow. Post-election will probably see a sustained drop. One day drops like yesterday are just aberrations at the moment I think. Also, NFLX reported, up about 10$. We'll see what it does tomorrow. EDIT: Subscriber acquisition costs went way down as well. From 26$ last year this time to just over 19$ now. That's pretty huge. The biggest concern going into 3Q was that the cost for adding each subscriber was going to be too high. Duey fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Oct 20, 2010 |

Cheesemaster200 posted:What is everyone's opinion on GLW? It has a nice dividend and in my opinion gives a good exposure to growth in mobile devices, wherever they may head after saturation of the smartphone market. Gorilla glass is their best selling product and that was priced in years ago. Willow glass is good, but brittle and will probably be underutilized. I owned GLW for awhile but it's price fluctuations make it a risky buy.

Bought into MU this morning with the expectation that maybe I'd get 5-10% out of it within 6 months. Got 6% in a day. Not used to this. Figure I'll hold since I still think it's got some good upside.
