You are correct KG. It looks good from here. I sold about 2,400 shares and am currently holding 6284.
Now the next question is when to bail...
I just noticed...
'In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king'...
wasn't that from a Tom Waites song?
After taking a beating over the past few weeks, I bought 8,675 shares of PPHM @ $1.98.
Things are looking better.
I will take your advice.

In short, yes.
I've returned from a successful Red Sox spring training journey.
Four games in 48 hours. What could be better?
I have a few ideas, market wise.

K & Q,
Are you still holding to the 2m mark prior to distributing to CEF's?
bigsquidly
Down periscope...
I wish they would give me the cash I've paid into SS and we could part ways.
Just stepped out of FHRX...
in @ 15.65
out @ 18.99
+21.3%
SYX is killing me. Their earnings come out tomorrow. I'm sitting on 920 shares @ 7.20. It's currently @ 6.24.
We'll see...
Month to month for the squid...
January +10.7%
February -2.57%
Ken,
I hope you feel a great sense of satisfaction at the success of this page. Just looking at the number of posts (3,706) and the individuals who keep it touch, it is clear that you are having a positive effect on the lives of others.
Great Job!

Just got out of PPHM.
In @ 2.46
Out @ 2.75
+.29 = 11.6%... I'll take it...nice pick Ken!
Good eye, Ken. Hopefully the price will spring from there.
Just checked their web page and a couple others... no announcements or news posted as of now.
Yep... prayed that I wouldn't screw it up.I didn't sell.
And you're correct, I'm still sitting on SYX & SSYS.

Ken,
I appreciate your concern.
I'm in at 15.65. It stands at 17.50. That's up 11.82%. The earnings report for Q4 & the past year come out prior to the opening. The next question is ...
Oh BTW, are you still holding PPHM? According to my numbers, in @ 2.48, it's up 4.35%.
bigsquidly
I decided to hold FHRX.
After each of the last few earnings reports it has gone up, so I decided to keep my grimmy mitts on it. In the past week, it's gone from being up 12% down to 5% and came back 6.5% today, bringing it back to where it was about a week or so ago.
We'll see what tomorrow brings.
What a long, strange trip....

Word out of New York is that there is a suitor for SYX and they are looking at 15-17 per share. I've heard something like this before : )
I'm sitting on 700 shares (about 5k) and am gonna hold for a while in hopes of this event actually taking place. I'll see what happens.

I've had my eye on this little bugger for 178 days. Seasonally, it only has had an average 6% rise in March. But the price is now down to $9.23 which is where it was when I started following it.
Business is supposed to have shot up due to the internet and overall sales reports have been positive.
The stock price is down 23% since the beginning of December which is double it's average decline.
I'm considering this stock for March, depending on what happens over the next couple of days.
Thoughts?

Hello Ken,
Just a quick update...
After a 10.7% increase in January, the portfolio was down aprox. 10% on Thursday. That gave me about a 1% margin over 2003.
Well for once, I didn't panic and I held the positions I had figuring that many of the declines could (in some ways) be attributed to the options expiration date.
On Friday, 4.25% came back!!
Now, if we can get a nice pop out of PPHM (based on your educated assessment) and my losers gain back a little ground, things should be looking better by mid week.
I'll tell ya, I was this close to getting out completely... and I heard the Q... "no emotions".
Thanks guys. Whatever happens, I feel like I really accomplished something on Thursday by not doing anything!!

I just checked in on my portfolio for the first time today.
Two words... Blood Bath.
Between SYX and SSYS, I lost 4.1%.
OOOUUUCCCCHHHH!!!!!!
Currently holding 7 stocks.
4 up.
3 down.
Where in Florida? It's cold in the northern section... just perfect down here.
Excellent insight, Ken. You are probably correct about the shake off.
How's Mike doing?
That's excellent news... potentially.
I'm still sitting on 2,390 shares of that bugger at 2.48.
A 50¢ jump would give me a 20% profit. I'd take the money and run.
bigsquidly
I dumped 300 BBI and took the loss. Hopped right into SSYS after your post @ 24.44.
Will record profits drive the price of BBI up? I hope so.
Good News... I just ordered spring training tixs. 3 games...2 days... Red Sox... beautiful. When I get to Ft Myers, I'll try to pick up tix for a game against the Twins making it a 4 game/3 day trip. It'll sure beat shoveling snow.
NAVR is showing signs of life.
Having worked for the Donald, I can tell you that nothing will save this guy. He's out there and best thing to do is cut the line and let him go!!

I can wait until they hit the message board. No need to perform more work than you have all ready put on your plate.

I'll hold FHRX until the earnings report. At that point I'll pull a 'flota' and sell.
Just checked the IBD rating and found that FHRX is now an A-. So during my last 3 checks it's gone from a D to a C- to now an A-.
check it out...

Complete with today's date.
For the record...
Portfolio increase in January = 10.7%
So far, the portfolio increase in February = 0.8%.
Holding...
BBI -2.7%
BLI +4%
FHRX +8.18%
GYMB -2.81%
NAVR -2.36%
PPHM -4.52%
SYX -7.6%
Largest holding= FHRX @ 19% of portfolio. (fortunately)
Right now, FHRX is carrying my portfolio.
Not to be left out... I'm sitting on shares of PPHM @ 2.485.
Does that make 5?
I dumped 269 shares of BBI (still holding 300) and bought 319 BLI at 14.00.
What goes down must come up... most of the time.
K,Q&F,
We have to get you in that Cramer ad on this page.
