BE down big afterhours
looking for a bounce tomorrow...in at 6.60

buy AAPL...LMAO! we'ew even!
ACOR ah tank to 10.30...if you can call that a tank
OK...back in half at 24...too slow to get it under 24 I need to hold these till tomorrow this time...cross your fingers for me...
Ready for another round? back to 24.20
out RHAT 24.80...just flashed a huge ask at 24.85....I don't think it gould clear that...

with legs crossed!
Good thing I didn't play it, huh?
wait...I meant....Tanker RHAT!
LOL
Gapper RHAT
Earnings today..I'll take a shot
cpmac....hard to say, but I would think most everyone who wants out because of delisting is out. It's not exactly a surprise if the delist happens...so I'm GUESSING..a minimal drop if any, and only momentarily at that. Sometimes when the unknown is lifted, a stock moves up on that alone. But I guess that's why you have an order in for .42, huh? Sounds like a smart plan.
I'm waiting to see how much lower it can go before the announcement,,,
Good luck!
Don't know about the time of day, but they may not announce anything for 1 or 2 days....I'm in the vkoenig camp that it's a done deal....
6300 ask .46 x 4600 bid .45
No large numbers showing up so far.....it's a wait and see, I guess until Thur?
remember, she doesn't put so much money into 1 play so she's willing to let it ride longer. I always sell early, because I put more into it and want to take the gain before it goes away.
She usually looks at it again in the afternoon....and says..
" I TOLD you guys to get some of this!"...LMAO!
You buy it, then leave the house and go shopping to spend all the money tou're going to make.
That's how she does it!
no...sometimnes it takes 10, 15 minutes or more.
Why? I make good money on them...did real good this week with a couple.
What's so funny? LOL!
Were you honeymooning?
current Ryder cup scoring...
http://www.golfweb.com/tournaments/rydercup/leaderboard
just where have you been all day?
Most of those just traded at .52
ya beat me to it.....
don't see news, though
Excuse me...I posted this reply before I read further. Tonights PR might hold the price up...I'll watch tomorrow am to see if I need to jump back in...
I haven't been using any charts, but I've bought each time it went into the .60's for the last 3 times and made pretty good each time. I sold today...not sure, but thinking it could go back downagain. If it does, I'll be buying again....
yes a libra here....I don't know why but today near the close when I saw that 300k+ on the bid at .40, something made me add at .41.
Remember that email I sent you? Wouldn't you really be bummed now? Glad you hung in...I know you can't answer so ...see ya tomorrow morning.
Rest easy tonight!
probably not....no law against just being a stupid investor....people who put their money in hedge funds deserve what they get, IMO
a little more on that , Doc..form a daily site I read...
How to lose lots of money fast: How much did the investors in Amaranth lose? Here's an email I received yesterday from a broker which sells interests in hedge and private equity funds.
Dear Investor,
As a result of yesterday's news from Amaranth we have received a number
of calls from Amaranth investors regarding the potential for liquidity.
In that regard, we have communicated with our customers and are pleased
to report that the indicative market for shares in Amaranth (based on the
August 31 NAV) is as follows:
Bids are between 10 and 20 cents
Offers are between 35 and 45 cents
Sincerely,
Hedgebay Trading Corporation
Meanwhile Amaranth seems to have made the classic trading mistake -- not being disciplined about getting out early enough and limiting its losses. That's why I insist on 15% stop loss orders when buying equities for "investment." What went specifically wrong at Amaranth, according to today's Wall Street Journal:
1. The hedge fund's chief energy trader, 32-year-old Brian Hunter, misgauged when to take his chips off the table. (He's 32. What do you expect?)
2. He repeatedly used borrowed money to double-down on his bets. Buying more futures contracts of the kind his fund already owned supported their price by increasing demand, propping up paper gains. But that support only lasted as long as Amaranth and its lenders were willing to spend cash to buy more contracts. Such trades may also have masked growing weaknesses in market fundamentals, his trading peers say.
3. Mr. Hunter employed a routine commodities strategy, exploiting the difference between the prices of contracts for delivery of natural gas at various future points. He also was buying options to buy or sell natural gas at prices that others in the market thought unlikely but that would provide big payoffs if the prices came to pass. Both strategies are supposed to be less risky than simply betting that volatile natural-gas prices will move either up or down.
4. By early September, Mr. Hunter had become something of a contrarian. As gas prices fell precipitously because of a storage glut, Mr. Hunter held and increased bets that would pay off exponentially only if natural-gas prices rebounded, either on the prospect of a cold winter or a nasty hurricane that hit natural-gas facilities. That didn't happen, and prices fell more as evidence pointed to a meek hurricane season and a mild winter.
I believe Amaranth's biggest mistake was messing in a field it knew little about -- namely natural gas futures. The company's roots are in convertible bond trading, which is a whole other ballgame.
Fortunately I wasn't invested in Amaranth, but companies who should have known better were, including Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs were. When you give money to a hedge fund, you know little about what they're doing -- unless you ask up front for more specific, regular information and they agree to give it to you. Personally I think nobody -- individual or trader should borrow money to make "bets."
Note that word -- bet. That's the new word for gambling.
nwacq?...sorry I meant to post it after dalrq ran up...got in Fri at .60....it could go some more...
yeah....gigaturd...I remember it well
