100% cash, but a bit of a bloodbath this morning dumping DRYS and PRGN at big losses
				
			I bought 300 more at the close Friday. Holding 600 @ 2.76I'm up $852 realizedAnyone still in HEB? I've still got 500 shares.
I only have 300 shares leftAnyone still in HEB? I've still got 500 shares.
Only thing I have now is my 500 shares of HEB, AKA "house money".Anyone still in HEB? I've still got 500 shares.
Still in with 500 shares.Anyone still in HEB? I've still got 500 shares.

Added 750 DRYS @ $7.30
In but only 150 shares. House MoneyStill in with 500 shares.Anyone still in HEB? I've still got 500 shares.
This should be an interesting test of manipulation. With the news of shares melting PRGN down under 5, let's see where this ends up on June 18th. My guess is close to or over 5 and every option is worthless. All the calls are definately worthless now. Very lightly traded puts at 5.The only thing to own right now is FAZ.am dumping all my 30k shares of Paragon at open for whatever i can get.then will be buying some $5 Dec puts and doing everything i can to spread the news about the dilution as the information hasn't really been made readily available yet.
 That's a joke.
   That's a joke.Wasn't this known?You think you can really manipulate this stock that much?all out at an average cost of about $5.05. Currently buying Dec $5 Puts
now it's time to do everything i can to spread this dilution news.
Hopefully this badboy can get down to $4 within the week.
i couldn't find the new dilution news anywhere. i don't think many people are aware that they are issuing a NEW set of 10 million shares. It is very confusing how they did it.also, i can't manipulate things much at all, but i can at least try to get the news out and inform people. Every cent down helps.Wasn't this known?You think you can really manipulate this stock that much?all out at an average cost of about $5.05. Currently buying Dec $5 Puts

Moderated- This is a horrible move. This is an early morning overreaction. You will not be in the money in those puts. You just tossed that in the garbage.i couldn't find the new dilution news anywhere. i don't think many people are aware that they are issuing a NEW set of 10 million shares.

got out of that at $4.59 just a little while ago...This should be an interesting test of manipulation. With the news of shares melting PRGN down under 5, let's see where this ends up on June 18th.

Considering the year you're having, I wouldn't beat myself up too much about it if I were you.Always hate days like this when I have to calculate the bloodbath...
Year to Date Profit = $130,231
Last Trades Realized Gains/Losses = -6,272
Sold 9,000 DRYS @ 6.82 - Loss = 6120 - 42 = -6146
Sold 2,000 SBLK @ 4.82 - Loss = 520 - 12 = -532
Sold 8,000 KERX @ 1.45 - Profit = 2,560 - 24 = + 2536
Sold 10,000 PRGN @ 5.15 - Loss = 2100 - 30 = -2130
Unrealized Gains/Losses
2,000 PRGN @ 4.98
Sad thing is if I don't sleep in Friday, I would have dumped everything but KERX because PRGN had hit my target (and DRYS opened up too). But the Dry Shippers were good for me this year, but I think the wind is out of that ride as the BDI appears to be headed down now. I still want to have PRGN stock before earnings though (early August timeframe)Considering the year you're having, I wouldn't beat myself up too much about it if I were you.Always hate days like this when I have to calculate the bloodbath...

They announced Friday that they are going to dilute another 10,000,000 this summerWhy is everyone dumping PRGN. I understand dilution occurred, but is the thought that they are not going to do something productive with the cash?
diluted twice, BDI retreating, NASDAQ down. That is the trifecta. Personally I think fair value is about $5.10-$5.20 a share right now. And it could be worth a lot more if they add ships with the money. Paying down debt seems boring to me if that's what they do with the cash.Why is everyone dumping PRGN. I understand dilution occurred, but is the thought that they are not going to do something productive with the cash?
Luckily, I sold Friday but for most that sold today, I would say because their money can be better used elsewhere for now. Now if you are holding longterm, this is probably a minor blip on the chart.Why is everyone dumping PRGN.

Have the funds bounced back this year? If so, dollar cost average your way out if you can.I've taken over my investment account but most of the money is tied up in funds that my former broker got me into. And I'm kind of stuck with them since they are so in the red. Very frustrating.
They've bounced back a little. One is at 54 with a 52-week high of 74 and low of 40. Another is at 25 with a 52w low of 16 and high of 43. The one I have the most invested in is at 6.31 with a 52w high of 8.78 and low of 5.1. Other is 7.44 with high of 10 and low of 6. I think I got in on them at 68, 31, 10 and 10, respectively.Have the funds bounced back this year?

Not sure what to set the target at, got in at 1.058 tempted to sell now...but it looks like it may have one more run today...In XOMA here...resistance at 1.07 but should it break through we could see big gains.
Got 5,000 of FAZ at $4.38. On your coattails Dodds. Ill take a 15 cent gain on this devil stock.bought 2,000 FAZ at 4.40....I need me some action
