ACTI looks like a bargain near $6.......Trading near cash, with no debt......Not much downside on this one.......

Another Monk??? Thought their was only one MONK on IH......

PRV---"Good Luck" with getting it under $14......Now over $17....Would grab it if you can---in the $14's......PRV now $17, will probably see $20+ before $14's.......THC in the $11 or $12's is probably a good alternate stock, because I just don't see PRV getting that low again......Market is in a minor correction for now, so some bargains are out there........

Sold HALF of my remaining "free shares" of TASR at $149 recently, and it is down to $121 since.......Now only have 225 shares left, but that is still worth 25k+.......Picked up 1k of ACTI in the $5's for a starter position......This looks to be a bargain in the $5's imo, with $5+ in cash and no debt......Could be "dead money" a quarter or so though.......Looking for $10+ with ACTI 6-12 months from now......

Cap----Not at all........You are probably asking about stocks I don't follow or even penny stocks........Did not even see the HOFF (now $3) question post, until you brought it up again yesterday......Used to have (from $5's) HOFF, but sold it around $12 last year, and glad I did (since now at $3)......Looks cheap around $3, but has credit facility issues, which has killed the price ......Don't see it going much under $2 1/2, unless credit facility problems continue to be an issue........Probably near the trough in the mid to high $2's........

$4', but "good luck" with that......

USEG-----Yes, but at $3 looks like just another meandering sleeper.......

Bought some ACTI at $5 1/2 earlier today......Looks like a Monk pick at these levels in the $5's.......$5+ in cash, little debt, book value over $6, and oversold near the trough make this a MONK Pick at these levels.......Just remember, TASR meandered from $3.50 to $5.00 for 6 months before taking off to $10+ months later......One year later now $140+.......

RGX ok from low $3's......Still holding this sleeper......INCY and ARIA have certainly down better from $3's earlier.....

Bad news (again) already in THC......Probably doesn't go under $12 much, or you may NOT want it......$12 (or high $11's) is probably the support here----unless they drop another neg-bomb......Probably just meanders (dead money) between $12-$14 a quarter before heading much higher later.......

GADZ, no position anymore either-----thankfully......Retail seems riskier then anything for BK........

CNBC "Jinx's" talking about TASR at $150 now......Exactly a year after I WAS at $4.......Saying it is NOW overbought.....Dah??? So was Microtragedy in 2000 at $300+?????? .....Might sell half (or 200) of "free shares" (of 400) for $150+, which would now be worth 30k, and keep the other half (another 200 shares or 30K in equity)......Wished I had NOT sold 300 shares at $9 and another 300 at $11 earlier, but otherwise could/would have never held a stock from $4 to $150+........Probably peaks out around $175+ or so this year before the triple split......

Pats Cover----Wrong!.....
Pats Under----Wrong!.....
Pats score first on FG??? Wrong----Certainly "should have" with a miss at 31 yards and a block at 33 yards later on......Would have been livid if I had placed a several $100 wager on that "Pats field goal" score first----at a whopping 3-1, with 2 crazy misses......

Pats win outright (beginning of playoffs) at 2-1???.....Correct.....Luckily, I just let my $1500 "live ticket" ride for the outright win.......Some tense moments though......I had enough at stake without screwing around with points, over unders and first scoring field goals.....

Liking Pats somewhat -6 1/2 (if you can get it) or -7.......ALso the under of 37.5.......Also like the 3-1 prop, of New England scoring first on a field goal, which pays great if it comes true.......

"Monk picks for 2004" on post #1241 here......9 are up 4 down so far......These were the 12-31-03 prices......Only THC is doing that poorly, down 25%, and XING is up 60% from $8's to $13+ to more then off set that.....And THC is probably a good average down in the $11's or $12's too........

Now he may be MORE confused......

Sco (now $2.02) is a "Monk pick-like" play from $1.60's.......

Monk bb picks::: 4-1 last nite!!!!

*****Maryland +6 1/2......Terps should keep it close
****Western Kentucky -1...Nice home team.
***San Antonio (NBA) -4 1/2.....Tough at home....Sac only 9-9 on road.....
**Florida State +18......To many points to get against Duke in an ACC game.
*San Jose State +15......To many points.....Takem.......

ONT (now $1.27).....Unfortunately have, and the average now is $1.54.....Only have 2000 (MONK play not Pick) shares so far----so no biggie.....400 near $2, 600 at $1.45 and 1000 recently at $1.26.......Might buy another 1250 near $1.00 to $1.05 in a further decline, but that would be it for me with ONT, most likely.......

Someone recently posted in Sept on MMclub how they were "underwater" on my DYAX from $4 1/2 (last year) and averaged down to $1.75 during further declines. They later got out when it rebounded back to $4 late Summer 2003......Even made a nominal 20% profit on the "bad MONK pick"......The DYAX they gleefully got out of in Sept at $4, is now $11 btw.......Guess they are NOT so happy now with just a 20% gain.......DYAX is a nice double+ since the $4 or $5 September get out price.......

Prob will bounce off low $4's.......INLD........I am not in it though......

Monk goes 4-1 tonight as UTAH at +4 just won outright 91-88....Big D (Dallas) owes me from last nights half point spread-loss anyway.......

Another 4-1 or 3-2 night at worst......Detroit (NBA) covers the -2 1/2 but barely, NC State covers +8 1/2 only losing by 2......Toronto (NBA) covers the -7 winning by 10......Only Va-Tech (+14) gets blown out, to be 3-1 so far tonight......If the Utah Jazz win or cover the +4, then a 4-1 night.......The UTAH game is tied at 66, currently in the forth quarter......

More bb picks::::

*****NC State + 8 1/2......Nice rivalry, many points.
****Toronto -7 (NBA)......Philly bad withOUT Iverson.
***Va-Tech +14.....Nice home dog here.
**Det -2 1/2 (NBA)....Celtics in disarray lately...
*Utah +4 (NBA)......Mavericks owe me one from last nite.....Utah tough at home.......

Nope, did say NOTHING about shorting it.........

SCO on post #1380 and #1515......Who gets the last laugh at $3+ later........

I should have bought even more SCO at $1.60-$1.70 while it hovered there.......ALT looks headed higher at least short-term from $2.15......Contest for SCO and ALT to $3 first???

SCO now at $2.11 and rising.......

Winner of the Coin toss.....Pats
Total points scored per 1/4..... 06/10/07/13....
Over under 37 1/2...............UNDER......
First team to score a FG.............Pats
First team to score a TD.............Pats
Leading at half time............Pats
Team with most Rushing yards....Panthers
Team with most Passing yards....Pats
Winner by point spread..........Toughie, but Pats

Tie breaker.....total offensive yards 621......



Ps: Did you know that the Pats have had the lead (or tied) in EVERY game since Thanksgiving Day???....Unlikely for the Panthers to have a halftime or first quarter lead imo......

BSMD......Nice play from $3.......Would not sell ANY to near $6 or low/mid $6's........

SCO now $2......Looks to be heading higher.......THC slammed to sub $13.......TASR roller coaster continues.......Was $147 yesterday now $133......Buzz would have had to given up the Kia between a sell yesterday to today...........

Nice night ruined with Dallas winning by 2, and not 3 or more to cover......Dallas hit a shot with 1 second left, to win but blow the cover at -2 1/2......3-2 last night.......Shoulda been 4-1 though.......

Buzz.....Well, you sold and made 4k at least......Enough to buy a 5 year old USED Kia or Hyundai......Then again if you had sold half and kept half, that 145k in TASR equity, you could NOW buy a new (15k) Kia, new (17k) Hyundai, new (53k) Corvette, and a new Mercedes (60k) all at once.......Oh well, hind sight is 20-20..........

Nice night shaping up......Indy 5* pick wins, and the Clemson 2* pick (down by 8) is covering the +19 with ease with 3 minutes left.......San Antonio is up by 3 at half time as well.....Will assume a 2-0 start, and probable 3-2 or 4-1 night coming......

LENS (now $7), not looking bad in the $6's lately.......Could be "dead money" a quarter or two and see low $6's or $5's short term though......Then again, should see $10+ in the next year or two.......I would average in this one every other month, before liftOFF.......

LSBC now $2 1/4.....Yup, LSBC is down about 50% from what I first (maybe $4 1/2) bought it at over a year ago......But added LSBC at $4, $3, $2 and $1 and even 60 cents on the way down.......Sold some later near $2 and $3, and the average NOW is about $1.75---overall......But then again BOUGHT TASR from $4 this time last year too.....IT IS NOW $140+...........Still holding (half anyway) that position too......So we can JUST SAY LSBC is down 50% from originally touted, AND TASR is UP 3500% since originally touted as well......I will certainly take the overall 3450% gain on the two trades combined.......

Starshine.....DYAX now $11 1/4.....Sorry but I flagged your post #1565 when you sold DYAX under $5 to "go even" on the trade in September......Sorry you missed out on the double+ from $5 in four short months, and 8 bagger from the low mid $1's......I can only hope what you bought from the trade, is up some 120% since the ill-fated DYAX sell under $5......Will call it a MONK pick "gone bad", which certainly "went good" in due time......

Ps: maybe it will go to the moon......TASR certainly did from $5's last March, to a current $140+.......

OT.....Monks "lousy bb picks" continue to be posted on RDBL board daily......Maybe you guys can take "the opposites" to come out in the green......

Here we go again......1-4, 2-3 and another nasty 2-3 last night, for an ugly 5-10 so far......I will be the first to admit that these bb picks have certainly sucked so far......A pet MONK-ey could do better.....No ***** winners yet......75%+ of my 5 stars won during the NFL, none with bb so far.....Taking a newer approach from now on with bb thru the test period......Mixing and matching too......

*****Indiana. Pick-em......Hoosers have won 5 of last 6 against Purdue....Home team prevails here in an EVEN game.
****Alabama +2 1/2.....Bama has lost 5 of last 6 against Fla, but has won 11 straight at home. Going with the hot homey.
***Dallas (NBA) -2 1/2......Big d has won 4 straight on the road.....Sonics only a .500 team......
**Clemson +19 1/2.....Tigers suck but this is WAY to many points....Will take em and pray they lose by just 15 or 16.
*San Ant -1 (NBA).....Spurs 12-12 away, and Knicks only 12-11......Flip a coin, but taking the Spurs here.......

May be a good time to buy ADPT under $10......This was actually a "Monk 2003 dozen pick" from the $6's (over a year ago), and ONLY up 50% since......Nice safe play in the $9's here, before the teens are reached later this year........

I can remember someone buying TASR at $4.50 last year and impatiently getting "stopped out" at $4, as this later went lower to $3.40......Imagine the shock, when they see TASR at $145+ for Jan/Feb........Guess it WOULD NOT MATTER if you paid $4.60, $4.10, $3.60 or $3.30 with TASR making $5 to $9 dollar gains daily these days........

hehehehehehe.....TASR now $143.25 and heading to $150+.......Now a 35 or 40 bagger from $3 1/2 or $4, on remaining shares from XMAS 2002......Gotta love those "shortsters", in a squeeze anyway.......
