HEB suddenly going nuts!

Thought it would be at least 2.40 after you said that.

 

[Mose]

All I'm in now is 500 HEB and 2000 KERX. Those are on the backburner though. The rest of my portfolio is cash.

Volume is enormous on it today. It was at $2.45 when I posted.

It was/is.

 

[David Dodds]

I am out of HEB at 2.39 here. I decided to trade this like a stock here vice going for the homerun.

Hmm, it seems like td-ameritrade runs behind all the info you guys have.

Bought more IFSL today. Now holding 1,387,251 @ avg cost $.002131. Holding for $1.00

 

[parasaurolophus]

absolute worst morning to be away from a computer for an hour or so. I am so angry right now, cost me a bunch.

Why the heck was DDSS halted for like an hour??? I have seen so many approvals and CRLs and whatever other FDA announcments issued without halts.

 

[Sheriff Bart]

I had a dream this morning that I was at a grocery store and some guy came up and told me that I should be buying gold. I told him I was and he said, you'll be fine then.

I just thought I should let you guys know.

 

[Mark Davis]

We'll see if the "new" FAS is as good to me as the "old" FAS and FAZ were in this regard. Just sold a Aug 66 call for FAS for $.50. Not big money but that's a steep hill to climb for FAS to get there by Aug 21. I was writing a Aug 67 one and the price dropped as someone came into my office before I could hit confirm.

Also, still stringing GLD and SLV along every month. My Jul 89 GLD and Jul 13 SLV puts look to be expiring out of the money. I've already written a Aug 89 GLD. Been doing pretty well just writing puts on GLD about $2-$3 out of the money on a month to month basis. At this point even if a contract executes my price would be around $79/share with the premiums I've collected.

This option's value has already been cut in half. I should have sold more calls but I'm a little too gunshy on FAS and FAZ to play them for larger money.ETA: Can't help myself with UNG... sold a Sep 11 put for $.53.

I love the enthusiasm.

 

[David Dodds]

I sold EEV at 18.00 - Although I feel like this is a steal, it just doesn't react to the NASDAQ drops good enough for the risk. Profit = 25-12 = +13. Just prefer having the cash and not having bets against each other.

 

[Mose]

I sold all my PRGN. Are the rest of you going to continue to hold?

Sold 1100 PRGN @ 4.07 +297Still hold 2280

Isnt this emerging markets bear? I wouldnt think it would follow the nasdaq too closly. Id think SDS would be better.Im thinking Im holding PRGN. Already up to $4.37.

 

[iowa clubbers]

I made the mistake of seling half of my PRGN stake WAY too early. I'm holding for now. @ $4.37!

 

[David Dodds]

I am baffled at the gap that is opening up between PRGN and SBLK. I just added another 4,000 shares at $3.49

Yup...don't see any reason not to.

I know it's not suppose to track it. but generally in the past when NASDAQ slipped this thing would catapult upward. That no longer seems to be holding true as I have timed the NASDAQ decently a few times now and still made little to no money in EEV. Just going to watch this for the time being. I do think if a market correction happens, EEV is going to skyrocket as the technicals are just crazy good right now.

 

[Mose]

I'm hoping it pulls back a little, and then I can rebuy for the earnings.

 

[dotman]

Sold all my HEB this morning, I just don't have a good feeling this gets approved anytime soon and decided to go with my gut and get out at a decent spot.

Was thinking of selling PRGN just sensing a market correction coming up soon in which the shippers would get beat up for no good reason, but held. Still think I should take at least some profits at some point on this but can't pull the trigger yet. We'll see.

 

[This is LJ]

PRGN gapping up another 3% in the last few minutes. Whats up today?

Just got in AGQ (Ultra Silver) today in the low 40's. Great buy all around, the technicals on silver are awesome.

I'm sitting on a commodity rich portfolio (coal, silver, coal, steel) but its treating me well. Anyone playing copper?

 

[Card Trader]

I'm willing to bet if HEB holds at this price and runs even a little tomorrow, we'll see an article from the street bashing it back down.

I've been playing SLV a little bit. I have played X for steel in the past.

 

[David Dodds]

I sold all my PRGN. Are the rest of you going to continue to hold?

Yup...don't see any reason not to.

If I was holding PRGN I would sell it all for more shares of SBLK. Both will crush earnings. Both have locked in ship charters for the long term. Look at the charts over the last 3 months, 1 month and 5 days and you will see what I am seeing. I think both of these stocks will approach $5.00 at earnings. The difference is one is almost there already.

I'll stick with the one that is going up and is more actively traded. Thanks.

Just noticed the latest quote on PRGN. I'm not in this one unfortunately but congrats to you guys who are.

Congrats on the big move today. HEB's technicals are starting to get interesting here. I'm likely going to buy on any pullback. Did anyone see the HGSI move today? Wow. The news was a little iffy though, their drug only showed improvement in 12% more patients than placebo. Don't want to short here, but its worth watching.

In for another 750. I like the way you think here, but still think PRGN will have better earnings.

 

[The Z Machine]

Still holding my PRGN. I didn't panic sell when it bottomed out, and I still have a cost average of 4.94. I am going to sell off half my shares at 4.54 to bank some of this return. The rest I'll hold until after earnings, and likely for longer than that. Hoping to get back up to the 6.00 range at some point.

I couldn't resist. Using my side money I play with in Scottrade for this one. I'm in for 925 SBLK at $3.48.

 

[The Ref]

WTF is going on with PRGN? That was real fast. I can't find anything? Generaly shippers don't look like a HEB chart.

PRGN is still lagging SBLK though on performance chart for ytd and 1 year. SBLK has

PRGN is still lagging SBLK though on performance chart for ytd and 1 year. SBLK has

I think the YTD and 1 year get tricky though as PRGN has now diluted with another 20M shares. PRGN took forever to say what they were doing about their dividend to begin the year and was the reason the stock really got crushed early when they announced they would drop it to 5 cents. Don't get me wrong, I think PRGN is a great stock and company. I just like SBLK at the current prices better.

True...decisions, decisions. Holding for now. If it goes still higher today, I may switch part of my position over.

 

[parasaurolophus]

seriously, what was up with the premarket run up of SBLK? I was so tied up with DDSS and then had to leave I totally missed it. Anybody have any ideas?

Only a guess hereAt 9:03 someone put a market order in for 1500 shares and the lowest ask was 4.20?

I hope you are right--I'm in the same boat, average $5.25 for PRGN. Holding till that 6 spot In the meantime, playing some financial stocks, BPFH and BAC are my two favorites lately.

Looked like a single bad trade at $4.20.

I think sblk will have better earnings and there could be confusion regarding PRGN dilution.(cash wise) If estimates are calling for .47 a share(prgn) there is no way they make it. Yahoo estimates for SBLK is 1 cents a share, which they will crush. I want to get a firmer feel for what the expectation are for each company. The earning per share on a cash basis should be very similar for each company. Something to keep in mind.

I got my last 5,000 block of PRGN at $3.45.I feel like Im stealing and given my upbringing I am not sure I feel comfortable doing this.Up to 15,000 shares at average price of $3.58

Im holding tight but might bank some gain. Forget all the stupid analysis and charts, a monkey could have called this.Ive made all my money on PRGN this year but lost on other stocks.

I didn't get enough at those prices, and still have an average of 4.90 (I was on vacation when the dilution news broke).Every night I go to sleep telling myself to buy PRGN in the morning. Every morning it jumps up and I tell myself it has to correct a bit sometime and wait.I understand taking profits, but except for some overall market jitters, I see no reason why we all shouldn't be buying this instead of selling at these levels (except that SBLK may be a better bargain).As for SBLK, I got burned buying before their last earnings report when they missed. It seems everyone here is expecting great things for them this time, but I see little difference from the last time.

I did sell both of my holdings in PRGN and SBLK today. That was more just to lock in some gains. I will be buying both of them back this week for sure for the ride up to earnings.Also, about the bold part, aren't the estimates drastically lower this time around? Not as hard to beat.

 

[parasaurolophus]

DDSS is gonna tank.SBLK was a buzz kill. Im thinking of addign today.

yep. DDSS not accepted in current form.

These “real” stocks” are a huge let down. SPPI screwed me with the CRL. Now DDSS is screwing me with same.The pennies will turn the ship around.Bought 479,000 EXPH @ avg cost .0072. Will hold for $1.00

EXPH @ .0081 now. I wish I would have bought more when you did. I guess Karl Malone isnt as dumb as he sounded as a rookie.

 

[Vladimir]

PRGN: 800 shares cost average $3.76, holding for around $6.00.

 

[David Dodds]

As for SBLK, I got burned buying before their last earnings report when they missed. It seems everyone here is expecting great things for them this time, but I see little difference from the last time.

On May 13th, SBLK traded at 3.08On May 27th, SBLK traded at 5.37Earnings were reported afterhours on May 27thand you got burned on this stock? Yes they missed earnings a tad and it dropped after hours AFTER earnings were released. That could be the same case this quarter for both PRGN and SBLK. What I am saying is that both PRGN and SBLK should run up significantly up to earnings. After earnings get released it's really anyone's guess. I personally will sell most of my position before the earnings report.
