In December 2012. You could have listed all the stocks on a poster sized piece of paper, nailed that to a wall and thru a dart at the paper and whatever stock you came closest to, just put 50k on that stock and you would have made out just fine.
Ur Stating the obvious dude. How long did it take you to spit out that little gold nugget of deep thought?
JK.. :)
This stock will crush the competition. All the cloud storage needs with all this new technology, This company does it the best. STR8 UP! I'M LONG. GOT IN @ $36.
Oddly, I see the point in this story. This is only because I work in IT and I know that in the world of development and pushing to the next generation of hardware and performance in computing, video games are what demand these companies keep coming out with better product year after year.
It's like the auto racing industry is where new innovations originate in our daily drivers' car performance. The needs of pro athletes is what drives our footwear and apparel. That's why projects like nasa and goals of going to the moon and mars always have innovations like gps that have trickled down to other products in our economy that you might not think are related but originate because of the need to accomplish a certain goal. It's a fine concept, but it is there.
I see your point too but selling GPU's that were meant for video gaming to just find a solution to an algorithm in the short term is good for the companies bottom line but in the long term, these units are not going to be used for gaming and they might not get the feedback and data required to advance to the next stage in the video gaming market, people who used video cards for rendering programs (professional photographers), people who do video animation, etc. It's like if people took a car and put it in a garage and never drove it but hooked it up to a "special dyno machine" that spit out loose change for running it for 70 hours straight.
I think this next point about cryptocurrency will make my point. When these (fill in the blank) coins are made, they only have a certain number max. There are only 8.5 million possible Bitcoins. 220 million litecoins and so on. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrency So this is a finite situation. There is no sustainable market here once this goes mainstream.
NOTE: THIS IS A BUYING OPPORTUNITY FOR LITECOINS THO IMO. THEY ARE PROJECTED TO GO HIGHER THAN BITCOINS AND ON 11/21/2013 THEY WERE $8.50 US/ LTC .. NOW THEY ARE ALMOST $30 US/LTC
All the while Nvidia will be making end roads on the GPU market and getting feedback from people actually using the GPU for what it was designed for. What will happen if a generation or two (IT generation = 2 years) of AMD GPU's are out there being used for mining, no feedback on actual gaming or other video related task and gamers and others turn to just Nvidia because every chump and his mother are trying to mine litecoins? Make no mistake, these mining rigs will be set to mine for coins and never used for video purposes for the most part.
The writer of that article has a point. AMD could be damaged in the long run. This could turn out bad for AMD.
Yeah, Im with you but despite the organized opposition, AMD has good products, I just think they have been poorly managed. As a person on the ground level in IT, it makes no sense that AMD is valued so far behind Intel. I want to buy AMD stock, I'm just hesitant because even with all the good news and selling a ton of product (next gen consoles) and with luck (litecoin mining selling out GPU's) it seems like they are poorly managed. The wrong captain at the head of the ship can turn a sure bet into a long shot real fast. There has to be more to than hedges artificially keeping down the price. Investors are pretty savvy. There are enough good products and good business that this stock could have/ should have taken off a long time ago.. It has to be management that is not letting this company realize its true potential. IMHO
If you don't know what litecoin mining is and how it affects AMD, read this article.

What is wrong with AMD?
I cannot figure this stock out. I love AMD products. FYI - I am a Computer/Network Technician. A degree in computer science and numerous IT certifications. I have worked with AMD (hardware) since I started in IT. AMD chips work just as well as Intel chips and they don't use the fuzzy math with the public about their processor speeds that Intel does. It would take me a longer post but it's all in the bus speeds and how fast the info goes from the processor to memory to be computed. AMD purchased ATI and they are competing against Nvidia too. They have their chips in all te new next generation gaming consoles. XBOX ONE, PLAYSTATION 4, Wii U. Their GPU's are all sold out because of Litecoin mining rigs people are building. But for the life of me, IDK why this stock just has been a hapless dog for the past 6 or 7 years and why their isn't better parody with Intel. This is a 20 dollar stock that for some reason won't break 7 bucks. I can't call it.. SMH!
Why is investorshub saying this stock went up 55% today (12/16/2013) but all other sites says it's up 1 percent?
Yeah .. I got in @ 21.65 and it was hard to see this one go to 23 and drop back down but I believe it's just a matter of time it will be in positive territory where it won't be looking back at the IPO range. A couple of good quarterly reports and 27 to 30.
Didn't know you followed RAD too. I thought you were king of the turn around. Also . I was wondering why you're not doing Freddie with Fannie bc the stocks almost mirror each other on a daily basis almost to the % in gains and losses. I have never seen a mixed trading day for these two and any given day.
I had to pull a third of my position today on Riteaid. I now they have done well YTD but I just don't see this company banging out the same kind of returns for 2014 that were realized in 2013. I think they will beat out WAG and CVS again on gains bc they are sooo undervalued, I wish that CVS would attempt to buy them out. For some reason (I have been having this gut feeling), I think that makes sense. I moved from 15000 to 9500. Shares that is.
yeah I know.
1. The FED taper talks due Wednesday!
2. End of the year profit taking.
3. Market (you could argue) is over sold.
4. Even with a budget deal, Republicans still wanna fight over the debt ceiling next year.
Lots of issues. But the facts (I believe) still remain.
Hilton will be here for the long haul. Too much history and a decent product.
Sheep VS Vegas Crew.
I applaud all who contribute to XIDEQ message board. This is one of the most involved boards I have been around. A mix or old and new but all people who care. I hope that even after Exide BK is over, this collective can come together on other boards seeking future deals.
XIDEQ is a zero sum game. If you're holding, you are part of the Vegas Crew. Too scared (cautious) to jump in, you're a Sheep. The thing I like is that only one can be right in the end and either the Vegas Crew will walk away with sums of cash multiplied or the Sheep will be happy they didn't get in. No middle ground.
It's like Texas Holdem and you're all in. Rather be lucky than good. But with this board and all the research, you can create a good enough picture that true luck is realized. When preparation meets opportunity.
Only risk what you are willing to lose.
My motto: "Everyday (you do one of two things in life) you either get better or you get worse; You never stay the same!
Yeah. I think so too. I don't know why more people aren't up on this stock. This thing has had a management turn-around, has lighten it's workforce, has arguably the best router out today, is up on (not the newest) but the fastest emerging technology for expanding existing DSL networks at half the cost of the newest technology out there, they have jobs loaded up in the pipeline and are insulated from the U.S. domestic pressures of FED policy and congressional interference bc they have most to all of their work base overseas. They could repeat or exceed the percentage gains of 2013 next year.
Just a bump in the road.. C'mon man! have some faith..
This is almost one of those no brainer stocks.. Hilton has name recognition, been around forever.. (They are the definition of OLD MONEY), 2nd largest hotel chain in the world.. and if you look at all the other hotels that they would be compared to, all are trading near twice what the stock came in at during the IPO. This is where the money has to be at this year because every good stock that was worth anything is up dbl to triple digits from DEC. 2012 - Dec 2013. My new stocks with opportunity over 2014, HLT,ARMK,TWTR, NMBL, and AMC. I own the first two.
They have no competition in this market.. going up..1 to 2 per day..
IDK where you get all the optimism from.. the officers and hedge funds together (large block holders) only control 7.2% of the company.. 92.8% of the shares are on the open market.. There is no confidence in that.. These people live to do research.. damn the investors.. this stock should be at a penny..
Hearing dates are here.. http://www.exiderestructuringinfo.com/hearings.php
I got 650 @ $22.03. This is going to be a great stock.. Hardly any competition doing what they do. Feeding and serving large groups of people.. The only game in town.. You should sell your mother and buy this stock..
They are back public for cash.. they will catch up real fast and I kinda like Paris as their mascot. they should have a night in Paris special. Every guest gets a free blonde. lol. Or call the best room at the hotel.. "The Paris" that way you can really have a night in Paris.. haha.. but no worries.. Hilton will be middle of the pack.. that means low to mid $40's..
If you are upside-down on this stock, just hold it until the next pump and dump and see if you can get even.. Looking at the history, it will probably be 6,7, or 8 months from now but if you can wait that long, then do it.. It will get a one day rise off some bs phoney news and will get a nice 1 day bounce and then u can dump it and run for the hills.. IMHO
The Only red in my Portfolio.THIS DOG DON'T HUNT.
Got in.. 700 @ 21.675.. Makes sense... Hilton is the 2nd largest hotel chain in the world. #3. Marriott trading @ $46, #4. Wyndham trading @ $70 and Hyatt trading @ $47. Hilton has better name recognition and more hotels than the rest of this list.. They should slowly rise to at least low $40 range..
Got some Aramark ARMK today too. Those people that serve you the food at banquets.. I remember them from my college football days.. they always did a good job and were everywhere.
They are dropping Cisco because they are afraid of the NSA spying stuff. That is one of the reasons ALU got the contract in China. I love this stock. Bought about 14k @ 4.26. It looks good for next year with sales and business lined up even if U.S. economy takes a hit somehow.. Get long.. Buy b4 it hits 5 bucks.. It will scream up early next year..
Given HEB a fair chance.. been following it for about 2 1/2 years.. No sustained good news.. All projects still in pipeline.. Company just seemed reserved to perform endless clinical trials with no time horizon for a completion date.. Wasting my f-ing time. Cut bait and run.. NEVER LOOK BACK.
Whoever said MERCK was in talks to buy HEB is lying.. Same bogus claim came out from Sierra World Equity Review in December 2012 and in January 2013.. Please don't post or relay info off SCAM sites to ppl on this board.. They are here to learn..
c'mon riteaid.. u've been slumping for days now
HEB and Merck in talks.. source please...?
Don't tell me it's Sierra World Equity Review. they put out bogus crap all the time..
Anyone know of any articles for this company on current events. I read about this company on Seeking A about 5 months ago b4 they went under and wanted to purchase at .17 but never did. What is their current state after bankruptcy? or is everyone buy bc everything else in the market has been picked over?
