We'll have the Pinterest faction here soon when google search starts picking up on this...that or the life hackers, lol
You have to admit it crosses a lot of social demographics, lol
Anyone from Oregon, myself and another IU member met with Senator Merkley's aide as part of the Investors Unite activities. Very respectful and interested, though I was from Texas. Said they were currently closely reviewing Johnson-Crapo. Did seem surprised and alarmed to hear that police, firefighter, teacher pensions, etc. had been devastated thanks to the sweep and other nefarious events. Asked for some supporting info which we were able to provide, thanks to Tim's top-notch team.
Congressional members and their staff, even if "defensive", couldn't fail to be impressed by the sincerity, depth of knowledge and intelligence demonstrated by the group this week in Washington. I was truly humbled and inspired to be part of the undertaking.
Hopefully we are seeing a perfect storm forming in our favor.
I have to thank Tim Pagliari and David Sims for becoming the lightning rods we as individual investors could gather around and become a FORCE with a VOICE. He provided the conduit to make it happen. Media may scoff at hedge funds for sponsoring these activities, but judging from investors'responses, many have been looking for an opportunity to stand up for the GSEs.
Tomorrow will be most interesting ....
Blanka, you said THE NAME. you may have released the kracken.
It was awesome meeting the iHub guys and gals...so much knowledge! Might need to start having a FNF iHub conference.
BTW...Tim and David's team did a fabulous job with materials and arrangements. just spent a few hours prepping for tomorrow and comparing my notes I made on the way up here with their info....solid sources between Investors Unite and iHub.
Would also like to meet up w/iHubbers this afternoon. Can't PM....can someone PM or message me the meet up point?
I will be in DC "Red"
Have confirmed airline reservations but may be looking for a KOA or overpass to establish an iHub encampment...JK. hotel accommodations are probably somewhat more complex to arrange on short notice for a group.
No PM guys, sorry... but looks like others have already answered the questions I was asked.
Crawford, I appreciate your ongoing concern for everyone's welfare on this board. I always look forward to your posts. I really appreciate the words of caution.
For general info:
After deleting all but the absolutely necessary info from a screenshot of my share confirmation, I sent that and the requested demographic info. Flights could not be booked without the demographic info.
I received detailed flight reservations through Tour Associates in Newton, MA with locator numbers, which I verified through the airlines.
Could be a scam, but I don't think it is...at least at this point. Let's hope not...if I get that far, DC is a long way from Texas!
I don't post much here but I follow the board very closely...I received a detailed itinerary with flight numbers, etc., followed by a final itinerary with a confirmation code that checked out through American Airlines website in my name. Flying me from SE Texas and back...patience...it's legit.
All travel and accommodations paid for if they can verify you are a shareholder
Can't PM, but in response to PM's, I have an itinerary that I personally confirmed online through American Airlines
I was skeptical about expenses-paid being real...I have my itinerary in hand...very real deal
Attending the shareholder conference next week. Excited to connect with iHubbers!
I don't think they are footing the bill for the investors meeting as far as flights, hotel, etc. I think the are making the arrangements and we are responsible for the cost...anyone know any different?
Thanks, I'll re-look at it. Wish I had started learning all these details years ago
Have a question....don't throw rocks at me...was there a gap up in price this morning? Haven't seen it mentioned today...been a major buyer and holder in my previous life and didn't pay attention to those things before...
Great thoughts. You put the experience of the last few days in a few paragraphs that said volumes. Hope I get to meet you and the other bedrock posters someday to thanks you for the strength you've given us all on this board. Oil on the troubled waters...
That is so true, but I think this was just a snatch and grab maneuver. Would rather have what I have than get left at the gate. Back to making back the gains, though. Hopefully we will all be more skilled the next time.
Will hold until I have enough to have a great rather than a comfortable retirement. I actually had a limit order in for a small portion of my holdings, but the drop triggered while I was busy elsewhere. Like Blanka said, some of us are not as experienced as others in predicting the tops and bottoms, dang it. Would have been nice to flip a few, but I still have all that I started with way back, plus those I have added as finances have permitted.
Yep, will keep that in mind as I evaluate this run-up and run-down. Knew that was a blatantly targeted piece of news, but also knew we have been hearing that BS for months. Made the decision to hold. Though significant, don't have more in than I can afford to lose. Have been in since .25-.30's. Won't jump till the time is right for me. BOLTY
Wow, touchy, aren't we? There are all levels of expertise on this board. Some know better than to try to catch falling knives. Sometimes it's best just to hang on to what you have and ride it out if you are confident in what you own, depending on your skill level and the timing.
Not referring to you ar8, but traders in general.
Still here -- no guts no glory, right?
Wow, had to step back and cool off with some Bluebell Mexican Praline. Best ice cream in the nation...don't miss it if you're in Texas. Then I bought some more FNMA. Let's see what shenanigans are coming next....
Thanks for the encouragement.
That's why I hold...though now I wish I had stuck to my plan to sell some on the way up just in case this happened. Will be reviewing the events that took place that caused me to change my mind and hold through all this. Would have liked to be buying up more shares right now. I didn't lose any though!
So painful! Crap!
We also have Freddie battling the $6 resistance...they trade in tandem, so I'm guessing that Fannie will be held back some until Freddie wins his battle with $6. She can't move definitively forward without him and vice versa.
GLTA!
He said the "U" word!
Same here
Yes, having probs too.
Checkin' in...
Thanks...exactly what I needed to know
Stockcharts question: For someone learning technicals, which level of membership would anyone recommend and why?
Hi Clay, Just got out of the chat room... I knew it would be really valuable to chat real time and the experience exceeded my expectations! Love the Inner Circle...what a deal
I am truly sorry about your loss, fredspal. Prayers for you and your loved ones to have comfort in the days to come...
I watch them every week, but just watched today's and "liked" it. There was already one "like" and 6 views.
Happy New Year!
Best wishes for an awesome year for all!
