Gas has to be about $7 a gallon before it pays to drive electric cars.
TSLA is way over valued and AAPL is under valued......I agree he is a puffing or snorting something LOL,
Fletch
That disturbed me too. Because he showed a 5 year chart and said share holders were also happy with the gains........he was either talking way long ago or didn't know what he was talking about. I'm more thinking the later......

Toxic Convertible
Definition: Used by companies that are in such bad shape, that there is no other way to get financing. This instrument is similar to a convertible bond, but convertible at a discount to the share price at issuance and for a fixed dollar amount rather than a specific number of shares. The further the stock falls, the more shares you get. Popular in the mid to late 1990s. Also known as death spiral convertibles or floorless convertibles. http://www.nasdaq.com/investing/glossary/t/toxic-convertible
Hope SP starts going up,

Hey Buddy,
Glad it's working out for all of us longs,

Hey Buddy,
I think you are right but the number of responses is lower IMO because her article didn't pi$$ off a lot of people........like all us here LOL.
I'm not real big on knowing about shorts as I can just say I don't like them. They wish for bad negative things like having a dirty bomb go off in NYC.
Go CTIX,
Fletch
My constructive input is that yes.......funds are going to buy CTIX but not until it's up listed and priced above $5. Of course having a large partner and lots of product sales will also help. I'm not going to try and speak for Karin, as she does just great on her own.........and I'm not as gifted. My thought is she was not happy with the poorly written jabs by the shorts......that seemed to be working to some degree.
I myself have broken a couple of my own rules. They are buying too much of any one play and one under $5 per share. I forgive myself.......as the risk is livable to me and all this is IMHO,
Fletch
Hey wilco244,
I don't like to predict but the head and shoulder pattern is bearish. In this case Sierra's earnings will play a lot into share price. That gap can be filled if earnings don't meet expectations. Also, how much does the Fool use SWIR to promote it's stock picker platform. It's always hard to value possible future earnings,
Fletch
PS Cold here......how did the storm treat you?
Not sure a GI drug will be bigger for us then the worlds next antibiotic of choice. Maybe board docs can answer this. Now if both are the same drug......
Fletch
A weekly chart to show a longer term view. I'm sure I'll be happy for this sell off...........eventually......but a little painful right now. I now stay away from booze.......as I need all brain cells fully functioning.......and could always use a few more. :>)
Was able to recently add small amounts...just to lower average cost a bit.
The board here is great!
Lets go CTIX,
Fletch
We just dropped back to the previous lower trading level.

Apple's App Store Just Had Its Biggest Day Ever
By Victor Luckerson
Thursday, Jan. 08, 2015
Apple already won Christmas. Now it looks like it probably won New Year's too. The company just revealed that New Year's Day was the largest sales day ever for the App Store, which sells apps for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. During the first week of January, customers spent nearly $500 million on iOS apps, a new record for Apple.
2014 wasn't a shabby year for the App Store either. Apple said app sales rose 50 percent year-over-year and the company paid out $10 billion to developers in 2014. Since Apple keeps 30% of the revenue from each App Store transaction, that means the company pocketed about $4.3 billion from app transactions last year. Overall, developers have earned about $25 billion from app sales since the App Store launched in 2008, putting Apple's total take above $10 billion.
Cultivating a user base that spends lots of money on apps remains one of Apple's key advantages over Google and its Android operating system. Though the vast majority of smartphones today run on Android, the App Store's global revenue was 60% higher than revenue from the Google Play Store in the third quarter of 2014, according to mobile analytics firm App Annie.
Hey buddy,
Thanks but.....it's already sold.....this was a double sized position that helped lower a new entry much lower. Besides the funds were needed for a newer baby bio I'm buying into,
Fletch
Yes....done swing trading a lot over the years.......sometimes it works great and sometimes not that good. CTIX ......I'm holding.
GLTA,
Fletch
Hey buddy,
I try and buy the best using TA, FA, news, snooping.....ect. I'm actually more into mutual funds but have been in stocks for a long time too. The chart is posted to show how good the stock has been doing. A chart really can't tell you how high a play will go. BTW, I've held AAPL for over 10 years now.
This companies drug pipeline could touch me and family a lot. The wife is a breast cancer survivor. I've had two resistent infections and my dad had psoriasis.
I would like to get some more $ into the company. Funny, one of my rules is to NOT buy anything under $5......
but the story has me sold,
Fletch
Glad we can't be bought out...
The AAPL board post context led me to your profile.......from there your posts on the CTIX board. The amount of information here and what the company has in the pipeline .......sold me,
Fletch
Sold my double up on GILD today,
Fletch
A baby bio with 3 great drugs. I'm still adding more shares,
Fletch........only $4.59 as I post!

Anyone that shorts AAPL isn't playing the odds very well. Sure it will go down at times but goes up much more often. I have a hard time understanding shorting great longs when there are a lot of go to zero companies out there. A cup with handle breakout from 80.....is still playing out right now.
moving on up,
Fletch
