HAUP under $5
very disappointed with that Zeev - looked like a sell the news although it wasn't a slam dunk until yesterday - i'd like to see it up near $40 by end of week if the the market cooperates
just a strategy in the arsenal - my expectations are usually not met <lol>
do you play the earnings run at all? i.e. RMBS for next week (7/15)
8:37AM QCOM target raised to $93 at Piper 72.27: Piper Jaffray believes Qualcomm remains a compelling investment for growth-oriented investors due to improving WCDMA datapoints, growing traction of EV-DO, and continued strong replacement sales in CDMA markets. Also, the firm believes the recent weakness in South Korean, Indian, and Chinese CDMA markets is temporary. The firm expects several recent handset introductions to stimulate CDMA replacement sales at both Verizon Wireless and Sprint PCS during 2H04. The firm believes the stock can trade at 30x FY06 estimate of $2.85, adjusting for $7 per share in cash. Therefore, the firm raises its target to $93.
Jenna - can IGT break through 40 on this news?
Pennsylvania Governor OKs Gambling Bill

BENSALEM, Pa. - Gov. Ed Rendell signed laws on Monday authorizing 61,000 slot machines in Pennsylvania — more than any other state except Nevada — and using most of the state's share to pay for a $1 billion cut in property taxes a year.
Revenue from the slot machines, which would be located at 14 sites, including seven horse tracks, would be used to cut property taxes by an average 20 percent.
Rendell, a Democrat who had made slots-for-tax-relief the centerpiece of his 2002 election campaign, signed the bills at Philadelphia Park, the thoroughbred track that produced Kentucky Derby-winner Smarty Jones.
"It isn't a panacea, but it certainly isn't the demon it's been made out to be," Rendell said. "It's a good, significant step on the road to property-tax relief."
Opponents of the slots bill predict a proliferation of crime, gambling addiction and other social ills. They complained that the bill was crafted in secret by a handful of party leaders and lacks adequate safeguards against corruption and conflicts of interest among members of the state panel that would oversee the slots parlors.
Proponents said the law would allow the state to recapture much of the money Pennsylvanians pour into slot machines in neighboring states and help revive the state's horse racing industry.
The property tax reduction will not be immediate. Officials say the initial relief would be deferred until at least 2006 to allow time for the slots parlors to obtain licenses and gear up.
Of the roughly $3 billion a year slots are expected to generate, the licensees would keep 48 percent, the state would get 34 percent and the rest would be divided among the equine industry, public construction projects, and counties and municipalities in which slots parlors are located.
Ultimately, state taxes on slots are expected to generate $1 billion a year for reducing property taxes in all but one of the state's 501 school districts. In Philadelphia, there would be reductions in the city's income tax.
A new gambling commission would issue slots licenses to racetracks, resorts and other sites for fees ranging up to $50 million apiece. Seven licenses would be granted to horse-racing tracks, including ones not yet built. Five licenses would be given to standalone sites and two licenses would be given to resorts.
The law makes Pennsylvania the 18th state to legalize slot-machine gambling, not including casinos run by Indian tribes, according to the American Gaming Association.
The House approved the measures Sunday. The Senate approved the slots bill Friday and the tax bill early Saturday.

thank you - IGT up nicely after hours on Pennsylvania approval supposedly locked up
still long IDEV? i don't remember seeing you sold it
you're welcome
how 'bout it Fred? - i like that idea..the ignore button
<lol> gotta run - be good and be yourself
sorry - it was theraputic advice <lol> - relax, release the tension, laugh a little bit, enjoy the other posters - that's definitely worth a couple grand - i won't disturb you any more now
OT oh, you shouldn't listen to me .. you do your own thing and i'll do mine .. i was sincerely trying to be nice .. really, have a great rest of the day
OT no need to be sorry as i don't know who you are either - i'm actually just a lurker who doesn't make snide comments or purposely interfere with the trading day - have a great day - and put a couple thousand in an account and take a gamble for the fun of it - you make like it
OT "i dont trade" ... so why comment on someone who does?
always been easier to point out the negatives than the positives - one would think that unless you are getting your hands dirty too you have no right to hold anyone accountable
i sure most of us could post 5 positives of Zeev to every one of your so called Zeev misses
"anything under $19" ... but just how low will OVTI go? (no answer required)
any one watching the 1-5-10 minute on OVTI - sorry, i don't watch charts but just wondering what this little surge means to someone who does - thanks!
i bailed for 0.25 at 38.00 - out now - want some IGT to hold for a week or two
can you run up NVEC one more time today please? - have a great weekend!
still holding for the OVTI run?
OJ - opinion on IGT? - P&F DOUBLE BOTTOM BREAKOUT last week? - thanks
Zeev what did you do with that last batch of NVEC at 38.19
Fred - "talked" to Susan G at all? - what's that girl been up to? - i remember when she was buying her son a honda! - and the picture of her when the group met in NY - those were the days!!!
thoughts on IGT? thank you
Bear - thoughts on OVTI - down to 15.10 ... when do you take a chance on this falling knife?
OT i waited about 6 months - i was just using other accounts during this time
OT i hadn't traded in my Ameritrade account for a while, called them up and asked for the 25 free trade special they are giving away on new accounts - they said sure and gave me them <vbg> - saved me from having to fill out paper work and open a new account
Zeev - this is none of my business and i know you won't answer if you don't want to - but may i ask if you always buy equal dollar amounts of a stock without regard to the # of shares it buys - do you buy fewer larger positions of different stocks or more stocks with smaller positions - do you have a dollar amount goal you shoot to make each day - i'm trying to determine/develop a philosophy for myself that is realistic and obtainable - i follow the thread, read the road maps, but never got a grasp of how you actually trade (just what stocks you trade) - thanks in advance and i apologize if this is out of line
Dan
OT things are great Lee - not trading all that much but reading the posts everyday
OT how 'bout it? - i'm sure she's doing great - Small Fry posted on the SI Guidance thread a few weeks ago
sure has - you guys are out of my league so i just like to read the posts which i find fascinating to say the least
