Ted, I think you might benefit by buying some LSS on any dip, it started to make its predicted move today (up $3 or 7%) and has held onto it all day and is now pushing higher.
I have no advise. I'm not interested in playing HLYS, but you go ahead.
I agree Ted, something icky may be going on. I have never seen so much insider selling, 70M shares, 1/4 of the float, 10 days volume! Plus, it was just reported Justin Chang will not run for re-election on the board. He has shares, I guess he'll sell those soon too.
That headline 12/06 about ONNN buying back 70M shares looked good in Dec., but looks bad now...they only bought for employees options, which were sold immediately.
I wouldn't get too excited about the upgrade, as I peruse the analysts, I see Wedbush Morgan initiated coverage in Sept. I have had very poor luck taking a long position in anything they initiate coverage on (VDSI & AEOS). Watch out on low volume trading days, like holidays. They like to do bear raids over long weekends too, then they'll downgrade it, reload and do it again. It is pretty safe after they drag it down, say to $6 and then upgrade. If I were going to play this one, it'd be on the short side.
It was predicted to go down the week of 1/24/07 and continue down for 5 weeks. Have you looked at the insider sales? 43% net sales.......that is huge, I'm surprised it hasn't declined more.
No predictions on GSPI, it was a pure intuition buy. When (if) they ever decide to file financials (and they're good) it will take off in my opinion. I don't see how the financials couldn't be good with the huge sale to DeBeers, and the mining industry is catching onto the ability to generate energy cheaply in any old remote place. This tip came from a mining know-it-all.
Oh. I don't know. I'm listening to the CC, sounds like the next quarter is going to be poor due to the housing product components. The HCAT refining product only improves diesel output by 2-3% without high heat being used, with high heat it improves to 30% more fuel refined. The flyash sales are good. The new Korean hydrogen peroxide plant will be on line in summer, they are 4-8 weeks behind schedule, this is a new technology plant. The stock is supposed to be going up through 5/07.
I'm selling.
Interesting. Cramer has been pumping MO on this point for years. You wouldn't think everyone would sell today though!
Called the furnace guy yet? There was an index on the document, so I just went to the "insider selling" page, hence I only read 1 page.
In regard to ABP, there is a new report out that might interest you on drillers. Please note that 2 of the top ones recommended are GMXR & KWK, my 2 top predictions as well. Oil service should have bottomed or will soon. http://biz.yahoo.com/twst/070118/zdl800.html?.v=1
Well, Ted, I've done your research yet again. Lock-up expires 180 days from IPO 6/18.07, I think. You can read the prospectus filing here: http://investors.heelys.com/secfiling.cfm?filingID=1047469-06-14884
Glad to hear you'll get your ancient heater serviced and checked for safety :)
Ted, I don't understand why a smart guy like you would spend $2.85 per call for a $4 stock. Hope your order never gets filled!
I think you better spend some of your recent gains on a carbon monoxide sensor, who knows when was the last time you ran that old wall furnace. It probably busted and is clouding your brain with noxious fumes.
ONNN is #1871 on the list. It is predicted to go down for the next month, so I think your idea is a possible money maker.
Did you learn anything in school?
Oh Dick, it will turn around, probably around April, save some cash to double down then. You'll be ok, this isn't a long term loss for you. It is a short term gain for me, even though I couldn't order a short sale Thurs., I have plenty of puts.
Just goes to show Joseph Campbell was right, for every action, there is a good and a bad effect.
"Hello!!! Is no one reading the papers?"
Sure I read the paper, but it is always yesterdays news, that is like driving, looking in the rear view mirror. I prefer to invest on intuition, crystal balls, astrology, computer generated forcasts, etc.
I see QCOM did NOT retry $40 today, so I haven't shorted it again, I see that NVDA did slide today as expected (as well as just about everything else). Thank God I'm holding almost all cash or I'd be in a pretty lousy mood.
Ted, no the Chinese comment had nothing to do with SIRI.
Afterhours QCOM tanked, I couldn't understand the pop after the report, but hey, that's what makes this fun. NOK will report tomorrow morning and will probably follow QCOM's lead and poop in the pool as well. Hope it takes NVDA down too, so I can get some on the cheap over the next few weeks. I'm getting cocky again, because my picks seem to be straightening out and going in the right direction this week.
I was foiled in my attempt to short QCOM after hours, apparently Scottrade doesn't allow it, nuts, hope it hits $40 manana, but I doubt it.
Sending me on a wild goose chase to find Billy? What fun.
After denying it for several years, I've now come to the conclusion that Billy & Dick are one and the same. I don't know how you managed to keep the posts straight. I didn't think you were that organized, which led me to the "different posters" belief, which I now realize was wrong and that I underestimated you. Good one :)
Too late, Dick, I already read it.
Love to see misguided analysis on QCOM, hope it gets to $40 this time. I missed shorting it last decline as it started down before hitting $40. May have to lower my shorting threshold to $39.9, hee, hee.
Other news......did you see that the Chinese successfully took out one of their own dead satellites? Hope that the joint chiefs of staff are onto this. I mentioned the posibility 6 months ago. What is being done to protect US satellites? What chaos this would create, for military communication as well as day trading!
I agree, management is old, tired, and doesn't give a damn, which is why we originally talked about them as a possible buy-out.
I have never known them to be late reporting before. However, they did acquire another business recently and that would be the likely cause.
Ted, NVDA is always volatile around options expir., and the shorts almost always win.
I like a 5 min chart:http://www.quote.com/qc/stocks/charts.aspx?__VIEWSTATE=dDwxNzU0MjgzNTk0Ozs%2B&chartform=form&....
Never played that game on line. Used to play bridge on line about 10 years ago.
Ted, I've looked at all the message boards, I can't believe all those posters on yahoo, and no one bought any of the analysts' reports. I think that there might be something negative here.
There was a lot more insider selling than the CFO, take a look, it really looks bad.
The chart looks bad, on candlestick it is a "3 crows" (bad). It has broken down below its prior level of support. It might go down to $27-28, wouldn't that be nice.
INet is showing a lot in institutional buying, so maybe they didn't get the word? Why don't you add up all the shares being sold by insiders and see how it compares to daily volume. Not to be bossy, but, I'd feel a lot better if you started doing some research before making a heart pounding trade :)
your pal
Sure happy your not crying, I hate to see you playing Venezuelian roulette!
I'm watching NVDA too, as I've mentioned, it is on my buy list. I think they are due to report towards the end of the month. They've had 4 downgrades lately, wonder if anyone has posted on their board who has bought these reports, think I'll go check. The CFO just exercised options and sold the shares.
What an interesting day. Cramer reversed his tech rally prediction yesterday, just in time, I might add! Most everything going down, maybe some buying opps coming soon.
Dear clean shaven Dick,
"If one ought to have multiple wifes, is it okay if you do it just one at a time?"
Absolutely! That is the currently accepted social norm. I should point out.......there is really no need to even marry in this society, perfectly okay to live together in sin. I did not take my husband's name, in 15 years, maybe 2 people have inquired as to our marital status.
Medical providers and insurance clerks seem to be the ones with the most concerns around this issue. One decided to hyphenate my name, another decided it really should be changed to my spouse's name. All fine and dandy, it was just a little inconvenient when they kept losing lab results and such.
So, off to buy a new PC today?
The John I was referring to, was John Smith of the Utah Mormon settlers.
I was going to post Cramer's response on KRY las night, but I decided what the heck, I'd already told you to avoid it several times/
Ted, I don't remember clearly, maybe you do...........did the US do anything when the oil assets of an American company were taken over by the USSR about a year and a half ago? As I recall, they didn't and investors lost.
Yeah, that's a good one, and so true, in my current belief system, although I do know of some cultures that thought their blood lines were so good they in-bred (Egyptians, for instance).
I suppose one should evaluate (or have someone with expercise evaluate) your blood line to acknowledge such exemplar qualities prior to a breeding program. I think John missed that step :)
Ted, hope KRY turns out for you. I wouldn't touch it!
That stinking HW just managed to bomb their stock, I'm through with those stinking jerks. Must have hired a few too many imbreds in the financing/press release departments, Utah is noted for imbredding. Can hardly wait for the conference tomorrow.......Ted, be ready to short!
Thanks for the history lesson, I had no idea, and I was raised sorta down south.
They'll be closed for some other guy.
Regarding AMD, I'd have to get the list of 4K losers to see its prediction, it's not on the top 2K. Hence, shorting on any spike is probably a pretty good trade, feel bad for those hoping it could beat INTC, which isn't predicted to do well either.
I don't have any belief in Cramer's predicted tech rally '07, probably only a few tech stocks will rise this year and the winners have already been picked: AAPL and NVDA.
Found your dog site, interesting, I don't want too many anchors in my portfolio, but I do like GE. I think of it as the storm anchor. Good China and nuclear power exposure, also.
I didn't see your link, and I am interested. Looks like it is going to be boring, trading today. A cyberhammock and frequent naps sounds like a good idea. I think a sector rotation is beginning to appear, hurray, this is the longest I've ever sat on a pile of cash waiting. Bio-tech and oil service seems to have bottomed.
Ah, don't worry about Ted's view. I don't think either one of us has the enthusiam necessary to look for the biggest decliners everyday, research them (althought I'm not sure how diligent Ted is on research) and pull the trigger.
Your dogs should do fairly well, with the dividend and peace of mind of large caps, enjoy yourself.
I tell you mine all the time! CX,IRBT,HW,GSPI,CMGI,NFLD,LSS,RIO,& GE.
might buy: HAL, APC, PTRY, HYDL, NVDA
Wish we had some neighbor kids who like to shovel driveways. Where's that big bruiser Sid when I need him :)
Dick, do you care to share which dogs you bought, or did you just buy them all?
Artic Riviera update: high today 26, 2.5 inches snow (so far). 1" snow in the atrium with the heat mats going full blast. It is really beautiful. No doubt, Denver's airport will be closed again in a few days, when this storm hits them.
Ted, you sure were taking a big risk on KRY! I even considered selling CX on the Venezuela news, but came to my senses when I found out it only has 3% of its revenue from that country.
HYDL should go up without a hitch 'til 9/07. It is the MOST volatile stock I watch, not uncommon for it to move $4 in a day, don't know why it is not participating with its pals, GMXR & KWK are both up, and its P/E is lower than those. LSS got another pump as a possible take-over on NBR last night by Hiliary Cramer of AOL Finance (2X).
EPG? my guess is that it continue down to $6, if the CA energy news didn't move it, it's not likely to go up soon.
I hear you man! I had a terrible time not hitting the buy button yesterday, but managed to avoid buying, thank God. The urge to buy is liable to be a problem today as well due to the new low prices :)
On the other hand, I am glad that the decline has finally arrived, hope it goes down fast so little investors don't get sucked in early. I should be shorting agressively here, anything with a P/E above 35, if I had any guts.
Herbert Hoover! That is a name no investor wants to hear.
Ted, regarding the twists and turns of IRBT, it goes up suddenly on no published information, then it gives back all its gain over the next few days, and has been doing this as long as I've held it. The only way I've played it is to add at the lows ($16-17) and sell a smidge on the spikes. I like that the govt pays for most or all of the research. I like the roomba and believe most vacuming will be done by robots or husbands in the future, in civilized households.
Ted, I think it is ok to pick-up IRBT here, just don't buy all at once, it could go back to $16.
Someone is pretty full of themselves today, lol.
I'll say, my place, since I know you won't fly!
