IMMHO, give it a shot for grad school. You may lose or you may win. The decision when to buy and sell is up to you.

You can always get a loan to cover the cost of grad school. It took three years to pay mine off.

Believe me, you would not be the only one flipping.

Caveat Emptor.

you've got to be joking. if you have money in already, i wouldn't take it out now. if you don't, yeah, i'd put it in. as for bombing again, at this pps that's not a big risk imo. i think you could flip out of it going forward to get your money. as for getting back in after your profit . . .??? as a long, i believe you could. maybe not profiting as much as you would if you simply held, but yeah, you could do it. all the other bulls here should tell you the same thing. if not, they aren't really bulls. i've got money in here that i could take out now at a profit, and i've got some that would be a loss. i aint selling on the highs yet, and i don't give a f*** what the flippers say.

Buying here you have a mass of support in the .80's and this could easily revisit the 1.30's in a 3 day run. It's hard to predict the future short term but the downside risk seems small at these prices. You could then either flip it or lower your cost basis but it depends how badly you need the cash...student loans anybody?

Just my two cents - Accipiter..

Basic investing 101 is to invest what you can afford to lose and not need for food, shelter, paying bills, and school included!

My position is to go long and not flip despite having profits at this level given what has occurred the past six months.

The news this month alone indicates much is happening and I expect more developments and announcements to come taking the PPS back to levels we have experienced in the past and then some. -IMO-

If it were me I would go borrow from Uncle Sam for grad school!


Best of luck!

AQ, I think you could do better than 7-8%, but that's just my understated opinion.

I'm a F/A kinda guy and my F/A tells me to buy and hold.
Maybe a T/A guy is what you are looking for,
one will be along shortly I think.

FWIW, I'm also a student and took out a small loan instead of contributing a few K towards my bursar bill. I did this back in June, and the (unrealized) profit as of today on DPDW is > 60%. For me the interest on my loans will be far less than the profits from my stock holdings, as long as I continue to greatly outperform the indexes :)
