Thanks much, best of luck with all your trades.
AMD: Any earnings whispers on this one?
CLF: April 12, 2012- $70.16. Incredible!

I tried the opt-out feature suggested and it seems to help.
It better!
Have you heard any predictions?
Exactly.
And he'd insist that the Founding Fathers gave him the right to build bombs and kill children.
OT: Cintrix-I'm a long-time runner, 9-times Boston, not there yesterday but two training partners were.
It's a wide-open event stretching 26 miles on a rather narrow road that passes through community after community and ending in a huge metropolitan area. Impossible to "secure" an event like this, if some nut wants to hurt people unfortunately he can.
JCP: The Twain quote is apt, but so is an old Japanese saying: "If you wish to drown, do not torture yourself with shallow water."
Sell the legacy name, sell the real estate, end the pain.
LOL, will try, but as soon as I attempt to move as fast as you quick-movers I trip over my own feet!
You well-know that one of the prime rules of trading is to know thyself, and I'm afraid that I'm resigned to missing a lot of the small up-and-down movements that occur on the way to my goal.
HL: Took a starter yesterday at $3.42 (too early!) then doubled-up end-of-day at $3.28.
Good-sized position at $3.35 average, will hold for a while.
Best of luck!

The sane posters on this board have it exactly right: it's a wide-open event stretching 26 miles on a rather narrow road that passes through community after community and ending in a huge metropolitan area. The concept of sealed-off is just silly.
Everything and anything that happens now seems to be grist for the NRA/Tea Party/nut case mill.
HL $3.42 (-0.28, -7.57%) Took a starter, think it's a decent deal here.
CMG has always struck me as one of the most overpriced stocks on the market.
I'll take a close look at CBB this weekend.
Re the stock I mentioned yesterday, XNPT. It's currently my largest biotech position.
I have very little use for 99% of the usual biotech "analysis" out there. Most Seeking Alpha blurbs, for example, are usually just ill-informed pumps. The same for most reports from investment firms, they're just repeating company-generated material that they collected.
Here's a general overview of XNPT written by a real scientist:

IMHO it's a 4 to 6-week hold, 20% to 25% gainer.
EDIT: Shoot, can't get link to work to article. It's a free site but you have to register.
LOL,the "cash disappeared" thing just didn't sound right, thanks for the great DD.
I'm somewhat familiar with CBB.
An older post of mine: #msg-85961148
The tremendous advantage that active traders like you and others on this board have over slow-movers like me is the time & the guts to quickly move in and out of the same position.
I tend to just buy as low as I can and wait for it to hit my target, but I miss many, many of the waves in between.
I'm in the middle of two large real estate deals and I probably had about one hour total this week to look at stocks!
LOL. I was thinking about it and finally realized you meant play station. It's been a long week.
Sorry, I don't quite understand your last sentence??????
"PS"?
Only for hardcore biotech fans: XNPT drop today is way overdone, GSK makes Horizant for them and has a production delay. Thing is, Horizant is not going to be XNPT's real value driver, it's two other drugs in their pipeline. (It's a long, complicated story!)
Big Phase III results coming up in May, expert predictions are very bullish. I've been accumulating anywhere around $7, $8.50-$9 target.
LOL, I didn't want to say anything for fear of sounding like sour grapes, but IMO that's a very good move.
Fear of nationalization=huge drop. A temporary respite=huge bounce.
But they publicly stated that they can raise 20% of the needed capitalization funds with bonds and the other 80% must come from a dilutive offering. This is not even mentioning the likely chance of a reverse split.
Well, it's human nature to remember our losses. It's in our genes, we're programmed to do so for a very good reason. Anyone who says they don't is either very unaware or lying.
But we can't become fearful or downright paralyzed by our losses. I'll watch them for a short time and then move on.
Mistakes? Sold NB@#$%& at low, -$25K.
'nuff said.
It's "medical" marijuana: he's got his headphones on and can't hear you.
AMD: Other than a headhunter from some undiscovered tribe in New Guinea, I'm probably the last person on Earth who has never played a video game.
So all the technical specs mean nothing to me, but here's a couple of reader comments to an article on the Geek-oriented website, Techspot:
http://www.techspot.com/news/52188-next-xbox-to-feature-amd-processor-not-compatible-with-360-titles.html
NBG: I'm sorry I sold so low, but their new plan calls for them to get 20% of the necessary capilization funds through bonds and the other 80% through a dilutive offering, not to mention a probable reverse split. I think this boing is temporary.
AMD: Just a few weeks ago Wells Fargo gave them a $5-$7 price target. I think that my $2.75-$3 target for next week is not out of the question.
Long at $2.33.
Tell me about it. Damn.
Well, my wife says that's the only reason she keeps me around.
OT: Overture- It has always seemed to me that the upper time frames of day trading and the lower time frames of swing trading are virtually the same and it's just a question of what label one attaches to it.
Warren Buffet says, "Our favourite holding period is forever". Anything less than that is...well....less than that!
Not being much of a chartist, I also like their fundamentals.
Lots of cash, contracts with Sony & Nintendo, yesterday's news that Microsoft will use AMD chips in the next Xbox, etc.
Earnings on Thursday, April 18, after the close.
The American twenty-dollar bill is the most widely-counterfeited bill in the world.
Should the treasury demand that they all be turned in? Another ridiculous idea from a ridiculously screwed-up entity.
I agree, but you could say the same thing about longs who keep averaging down (me and NBG!) and also get in too deep.
More importantly, a short usually has a very specific reason to swim against the tide, rather than just be swept along with it. They do more research, know more about the company fundamentals and true valuation.
D.: Read your post to Peter, IMO a lot of truth to his viewpoint that most short-sellers are better informed than most buyers.
NB_: I will never type those three @#$%& letters again.
Too busy yesterday to post, but I'm also in AMD @ $2.33, $2.80 target. Will try to stay more up to date!
Ackman knows well (through his experience with Alexanders) that very often the real value in these old "legacy" retailers is in the real estate they own.
No matter who the CEO is or what he/she tries to do, I have trouble believing that in today's world of Walmart & Amazon any of these pre-WWII dinosaurs will survive.
LOL. They wanted to pay me with JC Penney gift certificates but I wasn't interested.
I've said before, only half-joking, they should just merge with Sears--call it JC Sears or whatever--and the resulting entity might have some small chance of making it.
Otherwise, sooner or later, they're toast.
