I threw some lotto dough at BHUB at HOD on Thursday 0.0007, just to help things along. Liked what I was seeing Friday. If the strength is still flexing Monday, I'll toss a little more gas on the fire if she maintains 0.001's and smack the ask a few times. If there is any real possibility of a short squeeze, I want to be part of it, if not, who cares, its only a little lotto money.

Someone, apparently, feels ill will toward one of Lebed's eyes.
TSO bulls might be shrugging off the downgrade, half of the gap down has been filled so far.
Personally, I try to resist the urge to catch falling knives. At times it is most profitable, but other times it leaves your hands all cut up.
TSO - With gasoline prices pegging high, Bear Stearns saw it fit to downgrade TSO...
If I were a conspiracy theorist, I'd say they want to buy more...
The contrarian in me sees it as a buying opportunity soon, when the damage of the downgrade is priced in.

TSO, FTO, WNR, VLO, SUN - Gas prices at highest point since September
March 26, 2007
BY DAN THOMAS
BLOOMBERG
U.S. gasoline prices rose 6 cents the past two weeks to an average of $2.61 a gallon, the highest price since September, a survey of 7,000 filling stations nationwide has found.
Wholesale gasoline futures jumped above $2 a gallon Friday for the first time since August, pulled higher by crude oil. Oil accounts for about 55% of the pump price of gasoline. Gasoline futures also rose as strengthening demand and refinery maintenance shutdowns reduced inventories.
"The 6-cent rise comes from slightly higher crude oil prices and remaining tight gasoline supply from refinery repairs," said Trilby Lundberg of the petroleum analyst group Lundberg Surveys Inc., which conducted the survey.
"If crude oil prices allow, this may be it."
U.S. inventories of gasoline fell for a sixth consecutive week to 210.5 million barrels in the week ended March 16, the lowest since Dec. 29, the Energy Department reported on March 21.

NFI - Large Cap News: Daily Market Alert for Novastar Financial Inc.
Friday 03/23/2007 2:37 PM ET - M2
NovaStar Financial seeks to bring a little cosmic harmony to its subprime clientele. Through subsidiary NovaStar Mortgage, the real estate investment trust (REIT) originates primarily single-family, nonconforming loans via a network of wholesale loan brokers and mortgage lenders throughout the country. (Noncomforming loans typically bring in higher origination fees and interest rates and are less subject to general interest rate levels.) The REIT handles the loan process from start to finish: Following origination, it securitizes and sells the loans and maintains contact with borrowers. NovaStar Home Mortgage brokers nonconforming and conforming loans for investors including NovaStar Mortgage.
Shares were down 5% subprime mortgage crisis may leave few independent players.

The subprime mortgage crisis will likely decimate the crop of specialist companies that sprouted during the boom years of the sector, analysts said this week.
Companies like New Century Financial , NovaStar Financial and Accredited Home Lenders will probably be acquired or will shut down.
Bigger, more diversified mortgage banks such as Wells Fargo , Countrywide Financial and Washington Mutual will take their place, along with investment banks including Bear Stearns, Morgan Stanley and Lehman Brothers , the analysts said.
Subprime mortgages are sold to home buyers with lower credit scores. Surging house prices and record low interest rates earlier this decade, coupled with investors' growing need for high yielding assets fueled a boom.
Last year, subprime mortgages were a $600 billion business that accounted for roughly a fifth of all home loans, according to industry publisher Inside Mortgage Finance.
But as borrowing costs climbed and the housing market cooled, the subprime sector spiraled into a crisis.
Several lenders in the business have gone bankrupt, including Ownit Mortgage Solutions, ResMAE Mortgage and Mortgage Lenders Network USA.
Others, such as Equifirst and ECC Capital's mortgage unit, have been sold and more firms are on the block.
"It's unlikely that any of these mono-line subprime lenders will be around on a stand-alone basis in a year," Robert Napoli, an analyst at Piper Jaffray, said. "Weak players will disappear and the originators that are left will be backed by much stronger players with more capital." Big companies that offer a wide range of mortgages, such as Citigroup , Wells Fargo, Washington Mutual and Countrywide, will be left to dominate the subprime sector, along with investment banks like Bear, Napoli predicted.
The shakeout is well underway. Of the top 25 subprime mortgage originators last year, only three -- New Century, Accredited and NovaStar -- remain independent specialists. At least 10 have gone bankrupt, been sold or are for sale. Most of the rest are already owned by larger companies.

Oil prices, gasoline futures on upswing
Turmoil in Middle East, Nigeria adds to upward surge
By Stan Choe
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - Oil prices spiked above $62 a barrel Friday and gasoline futures continued to surge as unrest in the Middle East and Nigeria helped vault front-month crude prices to their highest level since December.
Light, sweet crude for May delivery gained 62 cents to $62.31 in midday trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after earlier climbing as high as $62.65.
The rise follows a surge of more than $2 on Thursday, after U.S. government figures showed refineries are boosting crude usage to make gasoline and other products.
Prices at the pump have risen recently as well, with a gallon of unleaded gas averaging $2.577 across the country, according to AAA and Oil Price Information Service. That's up from $2.278 a month ago and $2.511 a year ago.
The May contract for Brent crude jumped 69 cents to $63.20 a barrel on London's ICE Futures exchange.
"There's a good solid list of fundamental supports for the market," said Citigroup Global Markets energy analyst Tim Evans. "There's nothing on the other side of the scale."
At the top of the list was Britain's Ministry of Defense saying Iranian naval vessels seized 15 British sailors and marines in Iraqi waters. Britain said the personnel were "engaged in routine boarding operations of merchant shipping in Iraqi territorial waters," and had completed their inspection of a merchant ship when they were accosted by Iranian vessels.
Also adding to the market's worries was the kidnapping of three foreigners in southern Nigeria, Africa's biggest oil producer. Police said unidentified assailants waylaid a vehicle carrying an Indian and a Lebanese man in Warri and kidnapped them. In a separate incident, authorities said gunmen stormed a German construction firm in the main southern oil city of Port Harcourt and kidnapped a Dutch employee.
More than 150 foreign workers have been seized in the Niger Delta during a year of stepped-up militant attacks and rising crime. Militants say they are fighting to force the federal government to give more oil revenues to their region and release two leaders on trial for treason or corruption charges.
The focus back on geopolitical factors came after a U.S. inventory report indicated earlier this week that refineries are beginning to emerge from their seasonal maintenance period, after weeks of declining utilization, and will soon start demanding more crude oil ahead of the U.S. driving season.
The Energy Information Administration reported refineries operated at 86.3 percent capacity last week, up 0.7 percent from the prior week. Gasoline inventories, meanwhile, dropped by 3.4 million barrels last week to 210.5 million barrels.
"The best part for the bulls is that the steadily increasing demand for crude takes weeks to be turned into a rising tide of refinery output," Cameron Hanover's Peter Beutel wrote in a research note. That means crude oil bought Thursday won't leave the refinery gate as a finished product until May or June.
"If we do not see a steadily rising stream of imports, domestic refinery output cannot meet the demand we see in July and August," Beutel wrote.

Yeah, I'm watching it, I've got very little tolerance for more downside, but still up big and letting it have a little more time to prove itself, but if she goes down Monday, will probably just cut it off.
Yeah, I told my Pakistani friend how I make money when there is mideast tension, and he laughs his butt off and says "no wonder."
Yeah, I've got a stop on LEND at 11.00.

TURBO button - I remember being annoyed in 1993, when I was building up a new PC, and hooking up all of the silly mother board wires that they were going to make me run this stupid yellow TURBO wire to the front of the case. So ridiculous! So NON user friendly! I was like, why do I need to run this wire to the TURBO button in order to command my computer not to crawl and to run on 2 hamsters instead of 1 hamster, this should be a standard feature! LOL.

Reference SNL character Tommy Flanagan, the Pathological Liar:
The Pathological Liar is a character created and portrayed by Jon Lovitz, often appearing on Weekend Update segments to share his viewpoint, as well as in sketches. The character's name was actually Tommy Flanagan and he would tell outrageous, unbelievable lies to make himself sound important. One recurring lie was claiming he was married to Morgan Fairchild. His speech pattern made him seem to be making up the lies on the spot, and if he came up with a particularly good lie he would say his catchphrase, "That's the ticket!"
And the author claims to have an MBA.
I find my picks a number of ways:
1. The most common one is to realize sector trends or sectors that are in play due to recent events, like the mortgage lenders, homebuilders, gasoline refiners, etc. Then I research them for ones that I think are going to have an amplified move relative to their peers, up or down based on various facts and fundamentals. Then after I have a list of stocks, I will use charts to plan an entry and exit.
2. A less used strategy is to use stockcharts.com member-only stock screener.
3. My third strategy which is hard to describe is that I keep a log of about 300 stocks that I actively monitor and try to "feel their behavior" and learn how they trade. These are typically cyclical stocks like the offshore drillers and oil stocks.
Yeah, you cannot trade options on pennies as you pointed out, however I sure wish you could buy puts on them. I'd take puts on an overall pennystock index any day of the week =))
Because Morgan Fairchild is his wife!
