NVEC short SQEEZE in full court press
Joe,
I argued about that on S.I. along time ago. I can't see much value in max pain either.
The battle is still going on with Pakistan completely surrounding the area of 24 square miles. A Q have been firing mortars etc. and Pak just captured 8 of them not long ago.
So it's far from over.

that's a smart move whereby gold becomes questionable until next week.

Looks like premarket likes the Howard Stern idea for SIRI.
I really don't know how much of a following he has do you?
...and would shutout fans go and buy SIRI cause I just don't know either. Regardless I'm long Siri because I feel it's a speculation with some potential.

"We went from gloom and doom disaster on the horizon to even softechi being bullish!!"
I think your very mistaken there. That guy for years has been a fanatical perma bear. That statement was just typically Softechie. I traded with him for years on S.I. and he is on the dark side, but if and when he ever changes I'm shorting everything in sight.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that profit of .45 on 500 shrs. I was just bringing up a point that many people who follow Zeev probably don't trade the size lots he does and can't afford to also. Therefore they can't be doing the quick trades he does easily with respectable profits when they are only purchasing 100-200 shares lots.
.....and if I say I just shorted mama for example and I only shorted 200 shares because that's all I would risk against a hot stock or that's all I was able to borrow then it still has a verbal impact here but very little if any impact on the stock itself, but it really sounds macho or just risky and stupid depending on your viewpoint.
....and I was just thinking out loud about how I'd really like to know the honest share amounts being traded. I realize that is not possible nor a requirement of anyone but when certain people on this website make claims the honesty is something we take for granted but is not guaranteed on the web.
....and this site is probably more honest than many compared to the truthfulness of postings on say yhoo or RB.
2mars,
It's difficult at most brokerages to even borrow shares for shorting particularly in any large share lots on hot stocks like mama. However apparently you're not with the masses of us trading with the same brokerage houses. (g)
" What you are saying is that you don't want to look at context and alternatives. The sign of a likely Bush supporter.
"
I last voted in my state for a democratic governor. I vote the man not the party.
I have a military background enough that Kerry would never get my vote. Kerry flip flops from one issue to another and was a poor choice to run against Bush. Edwards could have been a decent candidate and even President I believe but that's another story.
Zeev,
"Just don't forget to get your profits when offered...In edit, I just took mine here, out of NVEC at $45.15 for another $.45..."
I would bet many traders here are not trading anywhere near the blocks you are trading thus they have to wait for more than small moves like .45
I really like to trade minimum amounts of 1000 shares myself and preferably higher amounts. I also wonder if that isn't true when someone here says I'm short xyz co. and the short is only 100 shares. Nobody ever mentions share amounts ever that I've seen.

Chris,
You can rationize anything you want but Kerry's voting record is an example of his enigmatic personality. He is a poor Presidential candidate and unfortunately Edwards didn't get the nod. Kerry's angry American "act" doesn't sell me and in fact it turns me off.

" And to think that I was once a Republican, how shameful the bloody costs of war, and yet the forces beget more forces. "
And to think that John Kerry who critized the government for not providing body armor to our troops forgot that he voted against the bill which would have provided the same. Duh!
Banc of America reiterated a "buy" rating on Research In Motion (nasdaq: RIMM - news - people ) and a 12-month price target of $118. Banc of America said its research indicates that the company's wireless Blackberry devices "are still hot commodities" and that catalysts abound in the form of announcements for new carriers in the U.S. and Europe and for handset vendors. Elsewhere in the wireless-equipment sector, Banc of America's top picks are Qualcommm (nasdaq: QCOM - news - people ) and UTStarcom (nasdaq: UTSI - news - people ), both rated at "buy" with price targets of $72 and $47, respectively. The two least favorites are Ericsson (nasdaq: ERICY - news - people ) and Lucent Technologies (nyse: LU - news - people ), rated at "sell" and "neutral," respectively, with price targets of $18 and $4.
Marketmaven,
"Granted there may have been some impacts of bad weather, but the report is that starts were down in the South and West. Here's the deal, plain and simple. People without jobs - or high confidence in the future - will not run out and bur6y themselves in debt in order to buy a new home."
There were plenty of people without jobs last year and that didn't stop the boom. Now one thing that wasn't mentioned was last year anyone who could afford a house bought it and got out of their apartment. Consequently apartment complexes here in the East and South east were running a lousy occupancy rate and started to offer afree month's rent plus many innovative rebates just to fill empty space. So perhaps that source of home buyers has dried up in some areas.
Ironically one of my sons just called me about his business and in closing he said he was bummed out because he and his fiance were to look at two houses today( both resales). One went up for sale yesterday and the other today. Both have contracts on them already before he got out the door.
marketmaven,
I think that homebuilders blip was also weather related. Interest rates still rule that market imho.
home building still high in my area although some poor weather has slowed it some.

SNDK could get a chunk back today if the reguler shorts and the Al Qaeda shorts cooperate.
I like nflx ST but find it difficult to trade without mucho fear.
Bought UTSI yesterday at 30.03 and saw this nice news this AM
9:06AM UTStarcom announces 5.0 mln share buyback (UTSI) 30.26: Co announced that its board of directors has approved a stock repurchase program pursuant to which up to 5.0 mln shares of its outstanding common stock may be repurchased over a period of six months. In addition co repurchased an additional 1.6 mln shares in a privately negotiated transaction with an institution.
" hate is so difficult to sell -- but lots of luck -- maybe you libs can send some money -- use Deans web site -- "
There you have it in a nutshell. The hatemongers who are going to save America. Edwards at least appeared to be more presidential in his demeanor. I hope Kerry doesn't think he was the only one to face death in the eye. I hope Kerry doesn't think that there are not thousands of men out there who have served and faced death like him....but who didn't turn on their government and hook up with Hanoi Jane. There is no way people are going to buy this liberal pos.
Goodluck,
"Unhappily, their real goal is only partly that--even more than that, their goal is to win elections by using the War on Terror as their primary talking point their "defining moment." It is repulsive."
The GOP of course has a goal of winning elections and I suppose the Democrats don't? Give me a break. The War on Terror will have to encompass much of the world now with Spain getting hurt. If you don't feel that was terrorism then tell that to the 600 injured and the 170 dead.
Obviously you have never served in the military and you haven't followed what has been going on in the Afgan/Pakistan region with regard to Al Qaeda.
Your blinded by believing the garbage your democratic liberal politicians feed you.
You said that Bush's Iraq action is "alienating much of the world--Arab and non-Arab--against us.
Are you telling me that the Arab world wasn't alienated against us prior to Iraq. The Arabs are not friends of ours so get a grip on reality. Many Europeans don't like us either so maybe you should come to the realization that we need someone tough in the Whitehouse and that's not Kerry.
hap,
Al Qaeda takes credit for Spanish bombings. If this is true then this again justifies The Afgan war and the Iraq war.

"We should soon see overseas investors buying up the US in cheap dollars."
That's exactly right. The Germans and French were coming into the US back 20 some years ago buying up farms and estates along the Chesapeake in Maryland. I see the same thing happening soon where land and many companies will be bought up particularly by Asians.

If she had told the truth to the Feds she wouldn't be a convicted criminal. Her arrogance could not be overlooked and it's her own fault for lying. The amount of stock involved has no relevance to the charges she was convicted of and dollar amounts have no bearing other than on theft charges ie; grand theft, fraud , shoplifting etc. .
