My Stock Value Strategy Starts Now (3 Viewers)

If it doubles by the 2nd quarter, I will get a PRGN tattoo. LOL

 

[BassNBrew]

With the delay announced, why is HEB up to $1.50

I think the idea is the FDA would have been able to sack them today with all the time they have had. If they "need another week or two" they must be leaning towards approval.

Gonna help you guys out...just sold 1000 at $1.45 for a profit of $42. I'll look to re-enter at a lower level or applaud you guys when you get rich.

Annoying. I wanted to add 500 shares of PRGN & 500 of SBLK but I have to wait for good funds to clear.

Why isn't PRGN going bananas in this market?

Pretty simple really. It has a huge gap 4.75-6 that needs filled, which it is in the process of doing.http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=PRGN&t=5d

Interesting stuff here on HEB. Turns out the delay may be because the new head of the FDA owns many HEB shares and must divest them before they can approve the drug.

[The Z Machine]

Been on vacation for about 10 days and couldn't trade... lots of good stuff happening here. I had put a sell order for about 2/3rds of my PRGN @ 5.00, and if you guys recall on 5/19 it was under 5.00, and then it opened at around $5.99, on the 20th. I was wondering what would happen to my sell order. It executed at the market price of $5.99, which was a nice bump for me.

In any case, PRGN is back to $5.35, so I re-upped and now hold 675 @ 5.10 average.

Time to ride the PRGN train. I'm looking to sell at around $7.10 or so.

My ROI stands at 62% now on my $3k initial investment since Feb. 1. SP500 is up only 10% during that span.

Buckna, what are your thoughts on FEED here. I'm thinking about selling and then maybe re-enter if we get a big bounce tomorrow but have a feeling this thing may be headed much higher. I have 500 @ 3.99.

I am holding for now, not looking to buy more or sell, just enjoying the ride for now for better or worse. All the technicals are extremely positive with the upward momentum breakout, the 20 day moving avg is breaking the 200 day which is usually a very bullish sign. Volume has spiked huge, someone out there is buying huge chunks of FEED and the other chinese ag stocks. Just take a look at SEED or GRO for example.It won't go up every day obviously, but I'm convinced the trend is up. It's up 20% today on no news, something is going on. The only thing that scares me is that the stock is attracting too much attention, I'd prefer a sustained slow move up, not attracting a bunch more day traders and shorts.$6.24, high of the day as I type this. Edit: I'm no psychic, but my gut tells me this could run to the 7's or 8's and then there would be a pull back and/or trade sideways for a while like it did after the big move up to the low 4's. That's when I will look to try and time and play the swings up and down. For now I am holding on hoping this continues to rocket ship up.

Watched it run up to $1.75ish then fall down to around $1.54 now it's heading back up and holding in the $1.60 range. I'm keeping this thing until FDA approval or denial.

Morgan Stanley ups view on commodity shipping industry

mentions Paragon as one of the better companies at the end of this.

Article?

 

[David Dodds]

Frustrating day for Paragon as the market did vault the 3% higher, the BDI was up big and the stock did nothing. Unless this thing vaults at the close it looks like I am holding all of these shares to get to dividend record date. Hopefully the bottom does not fall out as it looks like this stock has clearly cooled. Fundamentally it's a solid as ever. But it should have vaulted today based on the strength of the market and BDI. If this gets above 5.40, I may position myself out of some shares so that I am in a better position to further cost averge should the bottom fall out.

Industry giant Diana Shipping, for example, has seen its stock rise 23%, while smaller players like Paragon Shipping and Safe Bulkers have increased 13% and 10%, respectively. Star Bulk stock received a bump recently after the company announced the inking of four new charter contracts, and the company estimates that 96% of its fleet's operating days are now booked for the rest of the year, a better percentage than many of its rivals. Nonetheless, Star Bulk has a relatively high debt level -- $331 million in total as of the end of 2008.

Had 3000 Feed at 3.62 in my IRA account. Went to sell at the market (6.05), but it was the first time I sold on this account and I ended up buying 3000 more at 6.05. Checked my account activity to see what I sold at and had an oh #### moment when I saw I now had 6000 shares. Sold them all at 6.07 a few minutes later so it worked out.

Feed +7300

All I can say is that at this point in the recession, I would never short oil.

 

[The Z Machine]

I for one am happy that PRGN did nothing today, as it allowed me back in at 0.70 cheaper than I had sold only 2-3 days before. With no bad news and the market not ####ting itself, that means that I still think that PRGN is poised to go off again.

Also, Jim Cramer is an idiot and this makes me think that I should sell, but I won't.

The economist of my company said recently in a presentation that Oils "historic and inflation adjusted price is from 70-80". Oil is still below $70, and the dollar is getting weaker and weaker by the day. You also have China buying up as much as it can, and the Saudis saying they are going to keep production steady.I say your rowing against many tides, and it's time to get off the boat.

If I had spare $ I would be in either DXO or UCO. However they are also ETF's and decay over time. Not as bad as the 3x FAS/FAZ but they do lose value over time. I would think that DXO/UXO would be plays once everyone really start jumping into oil. If there is a recovery, then oil is going up. That can't be stopped barring some sort of miracle replacement. I don't see one.This morning on one of the news channels, someone mentioned that if gas goes to $3.00 a gallon, it will hurt any recovery. I've said that for a long time. Oil will be the key factor in any recovery.

FAZ is a tough addiction to kick. I still watch it but the 21st really showed that it is just a blind bet and you can't hold it for any length of time. Now if some mega disaster unfolds, FAZ rockets but who really wants that other than those in it above 10....OUCH.

FAZ under 5 bucks repeatedly seems like a good idea. It keeps bouncing back to 5.50 almost automatically. I hate that I'm considering it. Hate it.

Benchmark crude for July delivery gained 78 cents to settle at $62.45 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

I saw it was down early in the morning but didn't pull the trigger. I'm guessing we will see $58 before $65 which means it will hit $70 by the end of the week.:cusswords:

It moved so fast (up 40+% in a day) that many people just want to bank the profits. But I think once these people are squeezed out of this stock, this is heading higher. Their fundamentals are beautiful. They have locked in place contracts. They are locking down future years now with the BDI up. I think this thing WILL pop, but you just might have to be patient. It will likely pop because an institution will look to get a lot of shares. I also think this thing has an excellent chance to get taken over as their book value is worth way more than what the stock is trading at. PRGN doesn't seem to track against the rest of the sector all that well which can be annoying. I am impatient in nature, but this stock seems so much lower than it should be I am just going to wait things out. I don't need the money I have invested here for any forseeable future (will sell to buy my castle and moat). I doubt I cost average if it goes any lower though (unless it dips below $5/share) as 27K shares is enough for my taste.
