Nice! So you're a protoss player? I saw that the new units in the expansions aren't as good as the other races...but I still like protoss the best (just because of warp technology haha).
What league are you in? Bronze, Diamond, etc.?
I can't help it, once I see a guy in skinny jeans, I melt haha...crap I need to regain my heterosexuality, where's an attractive woman when you need one?
I was doing public searches for people who played random video games (I can be such a nerd sometimes)...
I haven't tried starcraft yet, but I seriously watched every HD and huskystarcraft videos on youtube (not lying). I don't know, I guess I'm what of those people who watches a sport, but never bothered trying it haha. I'm such a loser like that
haha
lol I'm feeling left out of this bro-mance. Why am I always the 3rd wheel?
haha cool, might as well keep it active on the weekends. I see you played Diablo 3 as well? Still playing or hopped on the bandwagon and quit like everyone else haha.
"The more time you've spent submitting and being submitted the harder it is to submit you" - Keep in mind, both are being exhausted relatively equally (not sure if you ever practice grappling and submission in sparring, but it's basically like that).
Sonnen's isn't as great as Silva that's for sure. I think Sonnen is better in boxing but Silva's grappling is better. Sonnen does have experience as wrestler I think (not sure though).
lol
Great board by the way (marked), like a few of the OT discussions. Thinking about the markets 24/7 can get tiresome.
lol Blind folds are accepted.
Yea Sonnen was dominating the first match but the second time around, he got what he deserves for talking trash about an entire country. But all in all (coming from an amateur fighter) it doesn't matter who's dominating who, in an actual fight or in the ring, if you get someone in a submission, it's lights out no matter how many cuts and bruises you received lol.
Words a guy should say when a woman says she's carrying his child.
That was such good fight. I'm glad Silva mopped the floor with Sonnen, who reminds me of a more fit version of charlie sheen.
FB sinks to new all-time lows. It was down more than 14 percent in early trading today.
GDOT down 60% as higher costs offset higher revenue. Also, the company cut its guidance due to increased competition.
Expect a Facebook Phone in 12 Months
Published: Thursday, 26 Jul 2012

On Thursday all analyst could talk about was Facebook’s earnings report, just months after its most anticipated IPO in memory.
Largely they were focused on a few metrics. In the report, the company said its operating margin was negative 63 percent during the second quarter and that capital expenditures had increased 213 percent from a year ago to hit $413 million. “That’s really weak,” noted trader Joe Terranova, chief market strategist for Virtus.
In the after market, Facebook shares plunged to an all-time low. But around $24, Terranova as well as trader Mike Murphy, founder and managing partner at Rosecliff Capital, both recommend buying.
If you have a short-term time horizon, Murphy thinks history sides with the bulls. “The last time shares traded down to 25 they bounced back to 32 in only a week or two,” he said.
And if you have a 12-month time horizon, Murphy and Terranova think the path of least resistance is higher. Not only do both pros see significant long-term potential in areas such as mobile payment but Terranova thinks the after-hours sell-off could light a fire under CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his executives.
“Price is truth,” Terranova reminded. That is, terrible stock performance can motivate a management team.
“I believe based on stock performance and fundamentals – we’ll see a Facebook phone in next 12 months.”
On the conference call CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that mobile was a top priority at Facebook. “By the end of June, Facebook had 955 million monthly active users,” he said, “and half used Facebook on mobile devices.”
Zuckerberg also said that Facebook believes people are inherently social and its mobile strategy was a big part of the company’s mission to connect the world.
Terranova thinks the commentary is confirmation of his thesis. “The trade is long in expectationa of a FB smartphone,” he insisted. Top hedge fund manager Keith McCullough sees Facebook differently. “They talked about 29% user growth,” said McCullough, “but that’s a little deceiving. Growth is still slowing.”
McCullough, CEO of Hedgeye Risk Management, plans to watch this stock from afar until the stock proves itself, by making gains that bulls are calling for. "I made the mistake of getting bullish ahead of the IPO. I won't make that mistake again."
Trader Steve Grasso, director of institutional sales trading at Stuart Frankel, shares the skepticism. He compares Facebook to Sirius – a satellite radio provider. “I love Sirius, I use it all the time. I can’t live without it. But that doesn’t mean the stock is going anywhere.”
Over 175 with 5%+ gains...nuts! We need more days like these lol.

FB - Revenue beats estimates (down AH)
AMZN and SBUX - misses earning
Up nearly 2% AH, nice and congrats!
Thanks for the heads up, I'll look into them. Welcome to the board.
WWWW daytrade alert:
I alerted WWWW as a daytrade (quick flip) from $14-$14.50 as a buy entry with a sell target at $15.
Sure enough, it tanked pass $15 to $14.11 and bounced up to $15.57!!!!!! That's a 10% profit in an hour!!!!!!
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=77906363
$15 hit!!!!!!! Great stuff
Made a quick flip on WWWW:
In at $14.40 average
Out at $14.85
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=77906363
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=77906698
You're welcome, anytime :)
WWWW update:
Out at $14.85!!!!!!!
Easy flip
Let's take a look at WWWW:
The web building company is down on an article posted by some contributor using a cereal brands logo lol...regardless, this makes a great opportunity for a daytrade and see it dropping pass $15 easily.
A great flip from the bottom would be around the $14-$14.50 range and selling at $15 again.
Currently in at $14.40
Sounds like something big is brewing :)
I can't speak for MG, and his input is highly appreciated as well. But I'm sure many investors, including myself, plan on taking profits today (I'm in Sprint since a few months back, not in MetroPCS).
All phone carriers are seeing a spike today. Depending on how overbought the stock is, it's usually best to take profits and jump back in on the pullback.
I agree, I'm with all the other analyst in that I just can't get myself to own the company longer than a day lol.
I'll look to buy back in on the pullback.
Sprint (S) up 18% today - anyone surprised? I'm not with offering the iPhone recently and their unlimited data plan, which Verizon and AT&T doesn't offer. It was just a matter of time before they stated uptrending.
And yes, I'm a Sprint user lol (I was there the first day they offered the iPhone). I've been with them since $2.30 and it took several months, but the near double was well worth it. Time to finally sell this stock.
FB earnings soon...I'll watch from the sidelines lol. It's a coin toss at this point and those are odds I don't like.

Let's take a look at AMZN:
AMZN will be announcing earnings later today, so should investors jump in before that? I'm not exactly sure how the earnings will pan out, but I can say that grabbing shares as close to the $210 mark will be a safe bet for a flip at $225. That's 7% gains in the pocket.
Great list! I was definitely bearish on RSH and NFLX. NFLX will probably hover around these levels awhile. As for RSH...I only see them heading down in the long run (long term).
I saw the CEO interview of BWLD with Jim Cramer...apparently he likes at these levels. But then again, Jim Cramer has the tendency to be right only half the time lol
