Very glad to hear it! Know we could both
write volumes on our experiences with
Day Trading...some hit it big..and God
Bless Them! Knowing when to dispose
of Hot Stocks is perhaps even more
important than acquiring same...oh well...
at least we have the ability to utilize
losses for future Write Offs...for the
rest of our unnatural lives..huh, dude?
Take care, Michael..only the best to you
in all future pursuits..stock-wise and
otherwise. Stay well.
Michael..hope all is well with you.
Take care and may all future
investments be a little more fruitful
good money after bad...HAS to be
better things to invest in....
or a better use of one's time.
Sincere GLTA long suffering share holders..
you too, Cowboy!
exactly...only problem is....
I bought well in excess of 30K
shares but currently limited to a 3K
write off each year...UNLESS,
correct me if I am wrong, one has more
than a 3K gain in a later year
in which case can use carried-fwd
losses up to the amount of that
gain to minimize any assessed taxes.
Make any sense? Thanks, Xylan.
do you have any idea how
many shares one would need
to "sell" to cover 3K?
Got to be a better way...
stock has been essentially
worthless for YEARS...!
If Obama serioiusly wants to make points
with the GOP...might include kicking the
3K factor up to a more realistic number
...say 15K & then index it from that time
forth. Been a flat 3K max for Decades....!
An excellent well thought-out piece...agree with you
100%. only problem is...why on earth did you...and I
...ever invest in this POS Penny Stock...& why are we
still in it? Could have done better keeping $ under
our respective pillows. Best of luck to us both and
all the others remaining with fingers & toes crossed.
line forms on the right...a very LONG line....!
a few others are worse...trust me!
(no, I am not amongst them, tho close
than I would have preferred).
would have been helpful if the IRS/Feds had indexed the forever- flat 3K limitation annual loss factor up to where it ought to
be...probably close to 15K or more by this time...! Things
might not look quite so bleak for our Donations to this unholy mess.
Super timing...wishing I were that lucky!
Keep up the great work! Pennies being what
they are, anything is possible over the short
term...just don't bet the family jewels on any
one stock!
as if they are getting anything out of it....
just a bad habit...
let us hope not!
You would hardly be alone, old friend.
Did not exactly get into this turkey
for a tax write-off...but appears that
is the way we are all headed. Would be
helpful if Congress could increase the
annual Tax write-off to something more
realistic than a lousy 3K...been fixed
like so for some 25 years now...stupid.
Take care, Mike & stay well. Be retiring
soon...got to start thinking accordingly!
do you REALLY think any of us
wlll ever see a dime? If so..
sincerely my hat is off to you...
if not,why in the world have you
spent so much time and effort in
forever wasting your energy
on this issue? Life is too short....
right!!! screwed the stock silly...are they kidding or on something?
it just might, dude!
consider it done!
yea..me too! what HAPPENED today?
fingers and toes crossed, dude and GLTA
glad you are still hanging around, Sawdin..
a few of us old timers from day of yore...
fingers & toes crossed for some luck on
this ....been a long time coming..
like a few others..got into this way back when
and still have quite a ways to go to "break even"
still an excitng ride when none was anticipated
as recently as a couple of days ago..Sincere GLTA!
same here..excellent post. can kick myself
around the block the other day when both FRE
and FNM leaped over 1.40..for a mini second or
two...& I moved too slow to catch any part of it!
Only been a couple of moments like that over the
past six months...and missed both of them!
Good Luck to you, 12ring & all the other long suffering Longs...nice to know you are still around! What a fine mess this turned out to be...to make matters worse, the overall market back in late 06' was quite strong! Amazing...we can sure pick em! Take care of yourself..only the best to you.
no kidding...
agree with you 100%...doing just that
whenever I can....already nearly
doubled original shares without
tossing in a penny...hope it pays off
one of these days!
that IS big news. hope it holds up tomorrow...
had similar thoughts last Friday night and
turned to mush on Monday...GLTA
could be a lot sooner than that, and a
lot higher PPS than present, if MO continues
in a meaningful manner with some real volume...
again, GLTA
love your positive attitude, dude..GLTA!
was pushing $ 1.30 just a couple of weeks ago, same as
FNM...could easily happen again.....
very interesting...PERS especially is quite astute and does not just buy anything. excellent sign of things to come
methinks
?
right on the head. But those with that kind of will power are few and far between. Hope you and I have what it takes to hang in there.
I agree..just said as much on the FRE Board. Short Term
is more than a little messy at this jucnture...long term
is a different animal for those who have the patience and fortitude to wait it out and do other things than constantly eyeball this one to death 24/7. GLTA
exactly! all the more mysterious why this has not
reflected thus far in the PPS. seems just a week ago
or so, appeared we were on the verge of a major break
through. Like an idiot, "killed" standing orders to
Sell at 1.25 on both FRE and FNM...only to see PPS
temporarily...very temporarily, sneak by this threshhold
only to sink, once again, into comparative oblivion. As someone stated not too long ago, starting to agree that
both of these stocks should be thought of as potential long term gems...to buy and store away and not re-visit until some future time. $.85 odd may well turn into a $ 8.50 PPS but not any time soon. That appears to be the rub. Watching daily or worjse yet, hourly, is a good way to drive onself nuts or become very poor company...just ask my wife!
Take care and GLTA...
hope you are correct, dude...been awhile
since we have had this much to cheer about!
we ALL know it is over-sold but until that
translates into upper mobility, has been
the status quo..until possibly NOW!
GLTA.
both of the two posts were excellent.
No one is really happy but at this
juncture, all we can do is keep our
eyes open, hopes high & hang in there
hang in there, dude...alwsys make a point
on reading your e-mails...we will prevail..
but will take some guts and perseverance..
judicious swing trading works for me as well...
continue to ignore BF...waste of time with
these Agenda folks...
you got a point...just hope you..and others..don't
spend all your hard earned $ on in-and-out commissions
along the merry way to solvency! This nutty market
could drive anyone crazy....main thing is...don't be
using food or house $ for stuff like this...could end
up the year living in a tent or moving back in with
your folks!
Bottom line:
Stay on good terms with the latter...!!!
ye of little faith (just kidding)...Hang in there..
just don't put all your $ in one issue,
seems to be the message for now.
