Dr Van, someday I will have a new van like yours, but my '86 vanagon is still holding out, albeit in the shop for a few months for a new engine. It still feels new, compared to the '82 I traded in.
I buy most clothing from LL Bean, although REI can be OK too.
I agree. To force workers making minimum wage to work off the clock is unconscionable.
Just say no to Walmart. Vote your pocket book.
Walmart? WWZS????????
If I were completely out, I spose I'd buy a few shares here and add on pullbacks. 99% of the pops have been sold the last 10 years, although I hold more core positions waiting for the exception.
Chart looks better than it has in years. A slow protracted decline is not bullish.

Some stocks have more sellers than buyers. This causes prices to decline. ASTM is not one of them at the moment. There are generally very few shorts in a stock under five dollars. If you are looking for shorts, look at NFLX which actually has some.
ASTM is going to have a heck of a year, I sold my trading shares at 2.90 (was asking 3.33 and backed off the limit, oh well). Early, but I still have 13 other positions. And some AMST GERN and STEM.
Oh, and if ASTM bases, or declines, I'll re-establish the flipping position.

I'm sorry to hear that. Jim Q was near the top of my list. Stocks aside, you could tell by his writing that he was sharp, decent, and had a good sense of humour. I'll miss the guy.
Hans
Sold some LVS SSFs + 2, some LVS yesterday + .70, still have some from lo 50s.
hans
YM kept printing 11111, and you could short over it and buy under it without fail, until it failed.
I often use numbers like .22 etc... just to avoid even numbers. You want to buy ABC at 24, but as it gets p to 23.99 all these sell orders are in the way driving it down again. When it printes 24.00, they are gone and its likely to run higher.
And the answer is 42.
HAUP at it again, with Zeev's help.
hans
Also there is the wiki threat, and commercial real estate. For all we know some big banks are insolvent.
hans
Mainly cause I'm short. And I'm short on the unfounded rumour that JPM is short a gazillion oz of silver and will have to cover some day at a great loss. It's small shares. I actually had a pt of profit but was looking for 2 and it ran up on me.
GAPPER ASTM TANKER JPM, for a change
I keep an OB going on YI, in this case 31.31, which I missed by a few cents, how annoying, I could have bought it back for a 30 or 40c discount.
hans
I know this kind of LTBH requires patience. I may have to sit in silver for most of January. My exit will probably be prior to 250.
hans
I'll selling my AGQ positions via a limit order, not exiting till there is 100 pts of profit.
hans
GAPPER ASTM TANKER JPM... came in 2nd/4th today, be patient
Yes but the ES range has been about 5 pts recently, and I could see it contracting to 1 or even zero.
hans
GAPPER ASTM TANKER JPM i'll just keep trying
Gapper ASTM tanker JPM again
ASTM? tanker? nah, to the moon, thru 2011. My trading shares are +.07, letting them roll...
hans
those dirty dogs...
In YG gold mini futs this morning, at 1382
asking 1385.30 GTC
it climbs to 85ish, no fill
after hours, it stops trading, is preparing to open at 85 x 85.30, a small spread, my order is holding it down.
boom, it opens and trades to 97
i fill at 86.40, a pt higher than my limit, but 12 pts off the high.
but who knew?
JPM - rumours that they are mega short silver & will suffer mother of all squeezes. Also mkt overbought, ES 1250 R, time for a pb. So far, I've been wrong, but tanker guesses are cheap.
hans
Gapper ASTM tanker JPM
No more unreasonable than unsupported predictions of .15, .50, 1, 5 per share that people keep making.
I can't buy because no one is selling, at least at my price... been bidding .025 for weeks now.
hans
Indeed. I need to get more GERN, I could use a 2nd helping at these prices.
Stem cells going to fly in 2011, its due.
hans
Most medical studies use a larger statistical sample.
Wow, lumping Ron Paul in with the rest of them. I'd say he's one of the few, if not the only, that don't deserve such a label.
hans
I covered my shorts, took the losses. Long has been the only way to go, still is.
Looking for Silver/gold to make new highs.
hans
The audacity of HAUP... old Zeev fave up today.
hans
And you are the senior member by a day. Although I was on SI for years before that.
Lot of classic rock fans on the hub, not so many aficionados of 70s and 80s. Poor taste, or just too old?
hans
Dunno. ASTM usually goes up last few minutes of the day.
No one has taken my offer to add to AMST at .025 over the last month or so.
hans
The Middle East no? I chauffeured (from noho area) & roadied for my roommate's band Sex Kitchen when they opened for Son Volt there.
hans
Heres a plus... I've been bidding .025 for weeks, and not getting a fill. The stock kept falling and falling under I tried to Add again.
hans
My gap got lost.
GAPPER GAP TANKER TAN
this wordplay is sure to lose, just as a dartboard is sure to underperform highly paid fund managers.
Added at 2.60, just to flip. Keeping my core 13 positions till 10+
hans
Odd lots - they say they are a contrary indicator. Small investors supposedly don't know what they are doing, as opposed to institutions.
hans
Whew... I sold SLV 29.88 this morning, what luck.
Sold YI 29.33 yesterday, back in at 29.18, added, scalped...
Last Add was 29.90, and I usually scalp for a dime. This time I tried for .13 (30.03), missed by a few cents and it fell a buck+. Yikes.
Decided to play the JPM short silver rumour, short JPM 40.40 from pre mkt.
In YI YG U/W on both, hope mkt pulls back a lot, metals not too much, and I can add back cheap.
Still holding AGQ for 200+
hans
You didn't list all of the 491 highs, but made up for it by listing 5 of the 1 lows.
Sold my SLV this morning, 29.88 on a limit from 26.00, thought it might pb near 30.
