My Stock Value Strategy Starts Now (1 Viewer)

Already a 1/2 million shares vie PRGN volume. The Nasdaq down is really holding back this from going crazy today. Unfortnately the NASDAQ might retreat a bit as the indicators coming out aren't good news.

 
The way Paragon is moving right now, I am thinking 5.0 is definitely in reach very soon. Volume again is again going to be very high today.5.0 is a critical mark for them too as many more investing firms can then add their stock. Many have rules for leveraged money not to buy stocks valued at 5.0 or less. The institutonal piece is just 16% of this company right now. With solid earnings I think that could easily jump to 25% or more here.One thing that I am hopeful here is that Paragon delays earnings. It will all but guarantee a few more active trading days. Else this thing could reach it's conclusion this coming Monday.
You going to stop loss in case of negative surprise? Or is it ball's to the wall from here on out...
I don't plan on setting a stop loss yet. When/If it gets to 5.0, I will likely set a loss at 4.63 which would be the $25K gain. I might just roll with this through earnings. I have a feeling that their report is going to blow people away and it's the reason this thing has been lightning in a bottle all week.

DSX reported yesterday and beat avg consensus top and bottom but their revenue and earnings were down quite a bit from last year. DSX is up today but not as much as the rest of the sector. PRGN got killed after they missed their earning by a penny in March but I think that had more to do with the dividend cut, I actually bought it at 2.8X. Rebounded pretty well though. EGLE reports after hours today. May want to look at what happens to that stock tomorrow.

I got 5,000 OCNF at 1.78. I actually hate this company, but it has massive volume and I think it could be an easy flip.

I will keep adding if it drops to get a good average price. I intend to sell before Monday's earnings.

Be careful, OCNF has a dilution plan as well to the tune of $150 M through 2011...which might explain the high volume as of late.Here's a bit of backstory from February.

OceanFreight's Firesale

ETA - the "be careful" was for those that might jump right in w/o some due diligence.

Checking in from my phone as FBG is still blocked here at my office. Assume everyone is tearing it up right now. I'm getting a little cautious here as I just feel a pullback coming soon. It's been a good/easy couple months in the market though.

 
What do people think of NMM (Navios Maritime)? Their price is much closer to the 52wk highs than the other shippers, but they pay a nice dividend. Is DRYS a better overall play?

 
Any symbols that are more appealing than others?

I like FCH, but do your research! Their earnings are due tomorrow after the bell.

 
Lost in all the fun is the oil report. Pretty tame actually. But Oil is heading higher because tensions in the Middle East are increasing and OPEC is also suppose to meet soon.

EIA Report

Summary of Weekly Petroleum Data for the Week Ending May 1, 2009

U.S. crude oil refinery inputs averaged about 14.8 million barrels per day

oil imports have averaged 9.7 million barrels per day, 156 thousand barrels per

day below the same four-week period last year. Total motor gasoline imports

(including both finished gasoline and gasoline blending components) last week

lower over the last four weeks compared to the same four-week period last year.

 
With the real estate market hitting bottom and showing a few positive signs, what are the best long term real estate plays in the market?
I like hotel REIT's.
:wall:

Not sure if AHT has been mentioned in this thread before. But I've been watching AHT take off for the past month. Read several positive articles about hotel REIT's. Haven't done any other research. Would like to hear other peoples take.

While paltry compared to the run-up on PRGN (thanks for this GB!), my positions on OIL and VLO have appreciated nicely the past 2 weeks.
 
What I hate most about my life right now is I only have 10k sitting in this. I wish I had the 100k liquid that Dodds has got, because this is tremendous.

This is a great time to have loot burning a hole in your pocket, that's for sure. I kick myself thinking of the tens of thousands I blew in the awful market over the past two years when I should have been all cash... :goodposting:

Can't expect to time everything right. Market is only fun when it is green. If the market pulls back most of will pick up our ball, drop our head down, and go back home. Dodds has made some great plays and I enjoyed experiencing a little bit of success due to them. This thread is awesome.
 
screw FAS/FAZ, I've jumped into STP at 17.91. Probably late to the game but it sure looks like it could care less what is going on it the overall markets.

 
The only thing that doesn't look good about PRGN technically is the RSI - Link

MACD is great and we're crossing zero now and we've broken through the resistance and it looks like we've come out of a bear trap and are firing on all cylinders, but with all this activity it's now getting a little overbought. Will be interesting to see if this can be sustained. We saw similar growth with DRYS in recent weeks, so I wouldn't say it's unlikely...

 
Not sure where PRGN is going, so I hedged a little bit to lock in some gains. I just wrote 25 September call contracts with a strike price of $5.00.

 
Out at 4.94. +1,464GL guys! And thx Dodds! :o
Congrats, You pulled the trigger to buy it. All I am doing is saying what I see and buying accordingly.It's getting harder not locking in some of these wins here. But I think I am still riding higher here. I think we will see 5.00 today actually.

If we hit 5, I really think 6 is right around the corner unless something negative comes out of earnings.
 
what's truly insane here is that I am making $250 per penny this thing moves. At 4.88 right now this thing moved $0.60 TODAY or $15K for me....LOL

 
BAC is up 11% after needing 30+ billion. Incredible. This is why I would not mess with FAZ
The stock market has always liked the banks getting the bailouts. They likely seeing this as the company gets to borrow some money to better leverage things while they improve their books.

:goodposting: If PRGN can break 5 we are off to the races again.
 
Someone on the Yahoo boards is saying that Scottrade is showing PRGN earnings are coming out May 11th. This doesn't make a ton of sense to me as the last report was issued on Mar 18th. But this is is for the first quarter so who knows? Can someone verify if this does indeed say this on Scottrade? Thanks in advance.
Found this on my scottrade account....
On 3/18/2009, PRGN reported 4th quarter 2008 earnings of $0.52 per share. This result was in-line with the consensus of the 6 analysts following the companyand beat last year's 4th quarter results by 79.3%. The next earnings announcement is expected on 05/11/2009.
Some sites show estimated dates w/o telling you they are estimates. I believe IBD does that, too. I like this site for earnings, which shows a range of 5/11-5/21.

http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/market/earncalendar/

As far as timing, many companies have a longer gap beween Q3 and Q4/year-end earnings, so the time between Q4 and Q1end up shorter.

 
Embarrassed to admit this, but I just FAZed for 200 shares. Shutting down the computer and coming back at 3:30 to sell. :ph34r:

 
David,What are your thoughts on FEED here? It has had a nice run up the last few days.
I'd like some feedback on this one too...thinking of getting back in, but I would like to wait until we see a little dip. What do those fancy charts say??? I thought someone posted recently it looked bearish...
 
Just found out about an REIT income fund called NRO. It’s trading just above $2/share, used to trade in the $10-$20 range before the October 2008 crash. The historic dividends ranged from $0.10-$0.15 PER MONTH. Current dividends over the past 3 months have been $.038 per month, which still equates to about a 20%+ return at the $2/share prices. Unless you think all commercial real estate is going to crumble to &$#%, I don't see how you can't make good money on this thing. I think I'm going to buy 1,000 and see what happens. Even if the dividend stays under 4 cents a month, it's still solid dividends. NRO hasn't missed a monthly dividend ever that I can see. Nice potential share accumulation too. Anyone have thoughts on this thing?

Commercial RE is a ticking time bomb.
