I get that feeling too. The whole gang is here. I've put aside a little dry powder just waiting for it
CWRN has been under accumulation since mid Dec.
It's not a life sentence. He has about 40 days until being released. Not sure what he'll do after that - but he has about 40 more days.
Countdown for Bob ||||| ||||| ||||| ||||| ||||| ||||| ||||| |||||
Could the chart be fixed with some IRON? Just a thought....
Good post on "the other board" says this may be a step in the process of uplisting.
Two trades totalling less than $400 does not exactly indicate a chart trend.
Hi Rocky - thanks for your posts. What is CLIC? TIA
Hi Roy,
I'm so glad to hear that Doris is recovering! I stop by the board about once a week to see what you guys did during the week - new job so I can't play the markets much, but still learning from you guys. Thanks for continuing to post and a big "Attagirl" to Doris!
Jan 25 Article: FDA Panel wants limits on hydrocodone.

Thanks Rocket and belatedly, Sunnybank! (No PM) I started a new job, so less time watching markets, but I have been adding to my stash of CWRN and some other stocks. And I am really happy that I did!
Thanks guys for keeping the board current. TO DA MOON!
Sombody please try to talk Jacob off the ledge.
Good report this morning on NPR about upcoming FDA hearings on reducing risks of opoids - links to FDA hearing documents.

Thanks Rocky. I have faith that, while things didn't work out as he had planned, he will try to work something out. The pressure must be tremendous. He deserves a bit more support than he gets here, IMO.
Thanks Roy! I learn so much from you postings. Please continue to post what you are learning.
Regards,
Jane
Best of luck Roy. I will miss your postings a lot.
Regards,
Jane
Interesting rumors on YMB - could explain sudden interest in HEB today. Check it out...
Out SPY Jan4 145 puts at .44 - .18. Got in too late, kept waiting for the gap to close. :(
Bot SPY Jan4 145 puts @.62. Perhaps a bit late. Hoping for a bit more of a gap down.
Roy, Smart, Beer and Dot--Thanks to everyone on the board for sharing your trades in 2012, and best wishes for the new year!
Although I don't get to hang out as much, I still get inspired by your trading skills. Here's wishing you a prosperous 2013! - Jane
What if they had a lawsuit and nobody came? Poor bottom fishers.
How some class action lawsuits work:
From http://abovethelaw.com/2011/11/attorneys-fees-in-class-actions-too-low-too-high-or-just-right/
Some plaintiffs’ lawyers file a lawsuit that they believe to be meritorious, alleging a defect with some device. The defendant responds by pointing out the shortcomings of the case — e.g., that the supposed defect affects a very small percentage of the devices — and by making a settlement offer that involves repairing or replacing any devices that are defective.
Perhaps the value of the relief amounts to just $50,000 (because so few of the devices are actually defective). The plaintiffs’ lawyers respond, however, that they have put a great deal of time and expense into the case, which they viewed as meritorious at the time they filed it, and they need to be paid for their trouble. So they might ask for $250,000 in attorneys’ fees.
A settlement providing for relief to the class worth $50,000 and attorneys’ fees worth $250,000 — i.e., lawyers getting five times as much as the class — might look bad on the surface. But this is a settlement that the client might be happy to accept, according to Jacobson. The client would be pleased by the rapid resolution and the small amount of relief, reflecting the fact that very few customers actually experienced the defect identified in the lawsuit. Even if fighting this out at trial could bring the defendant total vindication, it would end up costing far more than $300,000 — which is why settlement is attractive, even if the lawyers get more than the class.
At the end of the day, said Jacobson, “Defendants need to be able to settle a cheap case cheaply.”
Does anyone here know anything about ASE MM? Appears to be a trading robot programmed to step in front of other bids. Just curious who's behind it.
Good article on planned reviews of automatic trading. They are proposing raising the bid increments to a nickel instead of a penny.

They can easily play with this when trading volume is light.
Great research Pilot - Post of the day (IMO)
Wowzer - Roy's on a roll.
I think you have the wrong board. Topic is options. Thanks.
Hi Roy,
I'm in the Garden Oaks area. I remember your saying that your daughter graduated from Westbury about a year before I did. Small world.
I forgot how much I enjoyed watching you guys trade. Sort of miss it, but I never got particularly good at it. Still, I'll take a look over the Christmas holidays just out of interest.
It's cold here in Houston this morning. Gonna go for a walk now and enjoy it while it lasts. Take care and happy trading today.
Sounds like extortion to me.
If you google some of the firms, you see that they do nothing but file these claims all day - hundreds of them. Bottom fishing.
Good morning Roy and happy holidays!
I haven't been around for awhile - got a new job, so can't watch stocks much, but I'm lurking today.
On holiday spending, I think many people are pulling back from all the pressure. I sense a rebellion against the commercialization of the holiday. In my family, people are saying "I have enough. I don't want to buy into the hype".
The promotions started so early - before Halloween in some cases - that some people bailed early. I know I did and it made for a much more enjoyable holiday centered on people and not things.
JMHO.
Great resource - thanks Sunny.
Clinical types: What are HEB's next steps if they don't get a yes vote today? Start over with new trials?
They seem to be really handicapped by a history of poor trial design.
Rocket - check out HEB
After reading through the review doc, my impression is that none of the questions are deal-killers. The answer to every concern from the committee is that HEB may need to provide more data.
---------------------------------------------------------
(From the Committee's conclusions)
Draft Topics for Discussion

For IDSuperMoney - How to include a chart in your post.
1. As the earlier poster said, right click the chart with your mouse, and do a save to your computer.
2. Then, click More Tools in the menu above.
3. Click on My Image Gallery.
4. Click on Upload IMage button in the menu bar, and find the image you saved. Click to load it. You may need to resize the image if it is humongous.
5. To resize an image, I usually paste it into a word document, and then just drag it smaller until it is the size I want. Then I save it again to my hard drive and upload it again.
6. When you insert the image, it gets a URL. Paste that URL in your message.
It's been awhile since I've done this, so check the instructions and experiment a bit. But this should get you started.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I enjoy your posts.
I don't know about that. If you read their latest fins, they have been investing heavily in production facilities. They will have someone else do the marketing, but they will produce.
Thanks Rocky. You have done us all a favor today.
I'm in for the long haul, but it is certainly educational to watch them work this one.
It looks like algorhythmic trading to me. The bid moves up in 1/100th cent increments until it gets just below the ask, then it bumps down, and starts up again.
I've never noticed this before.
Good, reasoned response to AF's critiques. Thanks to all for posting.
