My Stock Value Strategy Starts Now (4 Viewers)

On your mark, get set, ......

Looking to cash out of FAS, FEED, and some PRGN. Added 1000 PRGN Friday at $5.19.

 
Sold 1000 FEED @ $6.58 for a profit of $575

Sold 200 FAS @ $10.31 for a profit of $282

Sold 1000 PRGN @ $5.55 for a profit of $352

 
are there any good free quote tracker applications (preferably real time but not necessary)?
you mean a stock ticker or Level II readings?nasdaq.com has a down loadable ticker, and you can view Level II here, but it isn't completely reliable, sometimes huge delays.
Thanks, looks like those are delayed 15/20 minutes.I use eTrade and I think their MarketCaster (free) is real time.
Google desktop's stock ticker is almost realtime and you can customize the entire side bar.http://desktop.google.com/plugins/i/google...dget.html?hl=en

 
I can't believe this. GPRE has advance 25% today in the first 20 minutes trading over 100,000 shares. Thats over 3 times the average daily volume.

WTF? There really hasn't been any news over the past 8 trading days.

 
FAZ anyone???? $4.50
XThis is a no FAZ zone.
I actually have made a little on FAZ. Been selling calls on it at ridiculously high strikes. That business has waned though. Believe it or not just a few short weeks ago I sold some FAZ June 27 calls and actually made a good little premium.Glad to be back here. My work had blocked FBG and apparently they modified our filter here a bit so I can get through now.

Run this by me. You sold a June 27 call. Does that mean some doofus bought the thing thinking FAZ could go to 27? Is that how that works because if it is, man that guy is an idiot because it would take a nuclear war to get FAZ to 27....even a few weeks ago.

Have an order in for 1000 at $4.40.
Congrats. You are filled and on board FAZ..the Never Ending Pain Machine.
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever buy FAZ again. I won't even look at the prices. In fact, can we get a FAZ forum, so you can keep that stuff away from the rest of us? I've made huge gains on other things in the past month, but FAZ has erased all that and then some.
 
I don't know whether to sell now and book some profits or hold on to this frieght train for dear life.
I'm just staying on board. Apparently this is a real bull market. The strength is sick. The good value companies have to be a safe bet going forward...

I have played FAZ/FAS quite a few times and made small profits based on the run in the market.I plan on being out of this by end of the day no matter what.
One would think you have made the correct bet for a daytrade but with this market, the North Korean long range missle launch could misfire, hit South Korea and we rally to Dow 10000 on the news.
 
Those of you that are speculative traders, I bought 500 shares of MPEL @ $6.30 just now. Stock is bouncing up off it's moving average today with strong volume, looking like it's poised for a breakout. Company is a Casino stock, currently building a casino in Macua that is scheduled to open June 1st.
Sold all of MPEL at $6.30, no gain. Stock stalled out last week after it's pop. Chart still looks good but I should probably shy away from chinese gambling companies that I know very little about.

With this market that could very well happen.

That is exactly right. Don't get me wrong, I didn't take rich all of a sudden from the trade, I just took some free money off the table.ETA: I just checked my records, I received a $.45/share premium for writing it. Wish I had written more than I did but I don't like to write a lot of uncovered calls. I'm not that big of a risk taker but this one just seemed like free money.

Is this a good long-term entry point for PRGN, or are folks expecting another dip? I've got about 15k that I'd like to put into a safe, longish term value stock. Consensus around here is that PRGN is an automatic for $7 or more at some point. Is now a good time to dive in?

 
I'm guessing index fund investors buying shares on the 1st - after payday? That's pretty much the only few that actually own GM right now until GM is removed from indexes.
Short Covering per CNBC
Huh :confused: Can't they wait till its zero?
I didn't understand it either
If you shorted at 20, there's no reason to wait any longer (percentage-wise, you've alreay made your $). Even if you shorted at say 3, how much are you going to gain as you wait? The question is , how long before they zero it out so you can collect the remains of your short. You could be better off using that $ elsewhere.
 
I'm officially on the edge of my chair as far as watching the market goes, as I think next 5 business days are going to tell us where the next month or so is going to trend. We keep bouncing off of S&P 925 as resistance kicks in against the Jan 6th high water mark of S&P 935. If volume picks up a little and we close over 935, we could very well be on our way up to S&P 1006 from last Nov 6th. If volume does not pick up and the market is not able to close past 935, we may be headed lower and this has been nothing more then a a bear market rally for the past few weeks.Right now I am 45/45/10 stocks/cash/gold and am waiting to get out or go all in based on the next week or so.
We are officaly though S&P 920 and over the high of 935. If we close higher then 935 today, we could be on the way to retest the Nov 6th high of 1,006.
