No sell on the news tomorrow? (They already bought the rumors - leaks)
I still see the $35 B still out there, apparently the Washington says it could be obtained by just converting the gov't pfd to common. I got that off the DJ newswire.
Yeah, but the word is BAC doesn't need as much as previously thought - so totally bullish.
I see I sold the last of my CFCpB. I don't understand the panic to buy these things all of a sudden. I am also not clear if this issue might be converted into common, so I figured I'd take the money.
Thank you, Joe, for this money making idea!!
Isn't SRS one that has a lot of time decay? If so, then holding for awhile even with the option prem might not be the best way (although I see that it helps.) Too bad we can't short IYR (at least I couldn't get shares). I'm thinking the best way to play the commercial RE short is with individual securities.
Just missed a MOS buy by a penny. Next thing I see it's shot up. We are talking MAJOR GREEN SHOOT (note the singular, not the pural, Joe!) Will it come back? I hope so. LOL
"bear suit" a Zeev coined term I haven't heard in a long time. Remember when he talked about having to get it back from the cleaners? Maybe you should send yours out? Or maybe it needs just a little Dryel - those sheets you stick in the dryer to freshen your bear suit up.
Thanks, BTW I saw your resistance info - 72.5 and above - that is why I posted to you. Maybe next week's meeting can be the catalyst (or the excuse) for a spike up on Monday and then sell the news.
I never really understood why these ag stocks move so much with nat gas. I have a little MOS too but it is uncovered right now. A few weeks ago I heard speculation that MOS could be a take-over candidate. I can't recall where I got that from.
Smilinghiker, do you think we have passed major resistance on RIMM yet? There is a huge gap from Sept to fill, plus a little news that might be forthcoming on a conference of some type starting May 5.
I think I bought your shares, cy, that I will probably sell today. I think we will have another chance to buy in lower. That said, I have some other shares that I wrote June calls on. At this point they will be called but I have had good decay on the option prices so I'm not in bad shape if I wanted to buy them back.
POT, it is like s@#t on fire! LOL
Hey Newly, if you haven't passed Redding, CA yet, check out the Sundial Bridge. It is easy to get to, plenty of parking and won't take much time if you don't want it to. There are nearby trails on the other side of the bridge if you are so inclined.
Thanks, I guess all is not lost! I did like the longer-term prospects of ELON but always afraid of general market forces.
I've noticed that shares I have shorted in the past were not as readily available of late (ISRG and DECK).
Wow, you aren't kidding, thanks for pointing that out. I noticed SNDK but not the others. I wanted to watch ELON for a long and forgot all about it. I guess it is too late now.
I was talking AAPL's performance today only and on a percent basis. I agree it has been a terrific run.
GOOG and MSFT are the only ones really working today. AAPL a little lazy.
buying frenzy in ISRG. Wish I had some.
Yes, I am having fun! I'm glad that you didn't lose on ISRG, as the AH action was nuts. Never played GOOG, and only tried FAS once. I made money, not sure why I didn't go back.
Thinking DECK might be a good short next week. Remember that one?
AD, still have your ISRG? If so, very sweet!!!
dump on ISRG with conference call going on
They had to wake up early to deliver the news too - they are a west coast company (ISRG)
ISRG reported this am (they pulled a GS)
GE and C before market open on Friday
Looks like someone wants some AFF. Why, I have no idea.
Bigger offering than the 5B stated. I have seen nothing about a price so far.
I thought that the stock issuance number could be higher.
Are you suggesting that GS should have had more earnings if not for the smoothing effect?
AH action looks like folks are perplexed along with the surprise. Tomorrow am should be interesting.
GS reported early it seems.
and thanks for all your other reads as well. Many wonderful contributors here. I wish I had the knowledge to contribute but I'm not much with charts.
Thanks for the read on GS
ajtj, any thoughts on GS goint into earnings you can share? Or is the chatter about a secondary making it murky? Thanks much.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Maybe a push higher at the close? Either that or a major sell off, I haven't decided yet! Like you mentioned, stocks are hanging up here.
Think we will drop back to 50 day ema before earnings on the 16th? Could be very interesting. :)
Its a holiday week Joe, might be tough to get lots of volume, especially today.
ISRG is a bit more lively the past two days (despite a downgrade a day or two ago).
BIIB is on a tear all of a sudden (the past hour or so)
I think my worse performing stock that I still own is HTE. I know you sold this one quite some time ago and I had meant to ask why. :) Last I looked it was still paying, so all is not lost.
