My Stock Value Strategy Starts Now (1 Viewer)

Glad to hear lots of people doing well here. My plan of selling of 60% of my PRGN at $4.05 to buy it later cheaper didn't work. I put the money on SRSR, VRNM and SPNG, averaging down a couple times on those as they regressed. I am basically even over the last month with the raise in PRGN.

As for PRGN, it is obvious that anytime they will announce they are done diluting. We expected a good pop at that point, but now I am not sure it will happen. This current run up is about what I expected would happen after that announcement. Is everyone just holding? Or, is anyone buying thinking that it will still jump on no-more-dilition news?

 
Anyone have some solid small-cap suggestions whether it be US or foreign as long-term investments? Would love to look in to some new companies.

I have stringent independence standards at my company and I those I like and would purchase, I'm restricted from.

TIA

 
Yeah pretty quite in here without our Great Leader, Mr. Dodds.

Hey, David, newsflash: the NFL season already started, so quit your day job and post your stock picks in here so the rest of us can coattail on them and make a few bucks.

Geez...

 
Can someone let me know what the deal is with UPL? All of the comodity stocks are down on a strong dollar today and this thing is up $1.50?

Something in the news that I am missing?

 
I am closing on a house so I have pulled all the money from my brokerage account (and put it into checking and savings) to give the appearance of someone stable...LOL

It was down big to start the day and climbed out of the hole and kept going. It's on a nice 10 day run. I'm holding.

It went from $3.66 to $4.74 in a couple weeks. This is better than :mansion:

Too bad I had bought in at around 4.22, meaning I had to wait out the first half of the runnup in order to see profit. I was basically all-in at around the 3.85 mark on the downslope so I couldn't leverage any more.

Is PRGN still diluting?

They haven't announced that they've stopped, but from the looks of the runnup, it's likely that people think it's all but over. The BDI has been trending down lately, although there has been some good news on the amount of new tonnage that will NOT be coming on line (due to order cancellations) which was thought to have caused the bottom to drop out about 3 quarters ago. Shipping basically ceased and investors saw that there was a LOT of new ship orders that were slated to come on in 2010, 2011, and 2012. These orders were placed during the peak of the global manufacturing bubble, and as a result the predictions on necessary shipping volumes have been proven to be WAY off.

I bought at $5.17. Whoops. When it nosedived about 2 minutes I bought it, I picked up some shares at around 3.65 and sold for a nice profit. I am just looking to break even on my 5.17 or sell at a small loss.
 
Are any of you jokers here buying neomedia trying to make me feel better. My 2000 shares were worth 8 bucks last week and now are up to 15. WOOOHOOO!!! :confused:

Unusual bullish numbers yesterday on CME October calls. Up quite a few points this past week or two already. Might make a push for 350 by expiration. Rimm and Palm reporting this week and getting good runups. I'm out of both at this moment as my rimm options expired friday and i sold palm a few weeks ago on a downgrade.

Also, KGB helped get me into ACLS at .49 about a month or two ago. has been experiencing resistance at each dime increment (.60, .70,.80) but after it breaks through, it doesn't look back. we broke .90 this morning. it will go back into the .80's again, but in all likelihood, in a week, it won't be below .90. Just wanted to give thanks to KGB(who i haven't seen here in a while) and alert people about this gem. I'd give a target price, but really not sure of one. i would think 1.50 would be attainable, but so might 4 dollars. Has been a safe and easy ride thus far. never diving more than a nickel in a day and always rebounding. I like that in a stock.

Oooof. That thud you all heard was the USD testing a 75 handle again. That happened FAST after a recent rebound.

Inflation here we come. I just hope I can get my 2009 SEP IRA money ready to go into the inflation index stuff before I miss too much of the ride.
 
Wow, just looked at the AU$ I had bought and been so upside down in. I really should have doubled up there. Back to the positive on that one now, which isn't a good thing for those of us with assets in US$.

Marc Faber has a couple of nice little rants on the US/World Economy up on Yahoo Finance. Sums the whole situation up quite nicely. A must listen if your not familiar with his work.A quick and dirty calculation - Assume the USD index break though 76 and drops to historical support of 71. Thats a drop of ~ 6.6%. That would mean a run in up the S&P 500 to 1140ish.I wouldn't be caught dead short the market right now. I just wish I had some guts to get back "all in", but the calander has me spooked.

My mistake was thinking the economy wasn't any better and therefore the market shouldn't be moving up. What I didn't figure in was inflationary pressures could carry prices up with them even if things weren't necessarily better in real terms.
 
What are some inexpensive stocks ($10 or less) that you guys think are going to do well from this point forward (or at least for a certain period of time starting from now)?

You are not the only one. I work with someone who is quite like minded in our outlook of the economy. Back in the middle of 2007 we were both firmly in agreement that the market was way overbought relative to fundamentals. We both started pulling money out of the market in early 2008, and lucky for us we were both 80% out of the market in June ahead of when the world fell apart. Now one of the main reasons we were out of the market was due to many of the writings and interviews of Peter Schiff, Marc Faber, and some of the other gloom and doomers. We both agreed on the way down, but the hardest part was putting the money back in. There was so much deflation talk and the USD was so strong due to market fear, the inflation was under reported. It was actually some of Peter Schiff's video blogs that kind of opened my eyes as to the risks of staying in cash. In short the idea was it was safer to over pay for stocks or assets then leave it in cash with all governments printing money. My buddy didn't see it the same way because of all the bad news and poor numbers. I consider my buddy to be as knowledgeable about the economy as anyone I know, and here he is today almost 100% in cash and has totally missed out on the rebound.This game isn't easy. Heck - I didn't' get back into the market until the S&P hit 775 and I had some short ETFs in as a hedge. And as much as I am worried about the USD trade I have been in half cash since S&P 1020 because of the fall correction factor. So like I said, you are not the only one.

Damed if I know. Let me know if you have any bright ideas. :wall: I still like FEED long term.The only play I have on right now, outside of 401k, is Natural Gas. I have some UPL as I think thats best in class. But a majority of my posisiton is in FCG. This is an ETF that has the top 30 Nat Gas companies.Like this trade though the winter.

You know I'm looking at the polling data and independents outnumber partisans for the first time since 1992. And that's interesting because it resulted in a major independent candidate running for President in Ross Perot. So I'm looking around for some strong-willed business type guy that might run for the Presidency in 2012. Peter Schiff is definitely on my radar.
 
For the record I'm still quite bullish on this market and have been since mid-summer when the bearish case fell apart. In fact, I'm leaning towards a large rally this fall. What may emerge here is gold, silver, and all commodities explode to the upside with gold to at least $1500 or as high as $2000 and the market goes up with it.

Still quite bullish? I thought you called the top over a month ago?

No. You'll have to reread those pages then. After the top failed to occur, I turned bullish on this market. Have been ever since.

Now see that's what you can't do. An investor needs to stay open-minded about all advice. You start allowing "forum cred" to creep into your decision-making, well, that's when you find yourself on the wrong side of things. Focus should totally be on profit, nothing else. See, you refuse to believe that, while I was briefly on the wrong side, I actually corrected myself and have been completely right for months. Then the thread heads into the gutter and its about making fun of people instead of profit.

The model is never wrong!!
 
KERX is really going off today. Anyone still holding this one? Still holding 2500 shares and wishing I didn't sell half at $1.50 a month ago.

Just curious ... why are you only concerned about stocks less than $10 and what makes them inexpensive because of this?

Ugh.

Fed didn't raise rates, but they didnt exactly say they are at all scared of inflation at all in the minutes.

USD just cracked 76 and went right to 75.85. Gold almost 1020.

Who was into PGNE? Someone was recommending a buy at 0.16. It continued to fall to .13 (low was .12). They really liked the stock, but the underlying company was very sketchy. In fact they were unverifyable. They posted a new release today and I copied the last paragraph because it was interesting.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/PrimeGen-Ene...ml?x=0&.v=5

"The Company would like to clarify its communications with the investment community. For the past several months the management and executives of the Company have been overwhelmed with developing its Oil and Gas assets in Russia. The success of the PrimGen's operations have been at the expense of not having the proper channels of communication in place. In an effort to correct this immediately, the Company welcomes any inquiries to be directed to our investor relations department at (908) 382-7924 extension 104 or e-mail ir@primegenenergycorp.com.Additionally, the PrimeGen is working on re-designing and updating its website to reflect all current operations and contact information. We expect to have our current information disclosures filed with the Pink Sheets this upcoming week."
