I am down about 1700 this week, but this always happens --- 1 step back, 1 step back, 2 steps back, then 5 steps forward.

BUT WATCH OUT FOR THE GODDAMN JEWISH CONSPIRACY

seriously though, people suck at crunching numbers, bury your money in the yard before the evil Wallstreet AIs rob you blind

im not sure if anyone remembered my pick of ELBO a week or two ago...but its up 35% today on the news of being aquired by gamestop

4/18/2005 11:17:24 AM

That was a good call with the electronic boutique-- anyone invest in Macromedia before the Adobe take over?

4/18/2005 11:30:09 AM

i've noticed a trend in mergers...it always seems like one company's stock drops and the other rises....so how do you know which one to pick? macromedia's shares rose 8% while adobe dropped 11%

4/18/2005 12:28:59 PM

haha this thread has boiler room written all over it

4/18/2005 12:36:52 PM

Here is a thought

Since you noticed the trend

Why don't you go back and see what was common between the mergers and you will answer your own question.

4/18/2005 12:37:45 PM

if you don't know, just say so

4/18/2005 12:39:06 PM

they actually have the CEO's of the two companies do battle. The investers then jump on board the company with the victorious CEO.

4/18/2005 1:32:12 PM

Heads Up,
Goldman (for the last two weeks) has been buying a shitload of long dated, variance, and options. They have bid the shit out of all of the long dated OTC options. Were talking 06 07 08 09 10 dates, To sum it up they will make $$$$ if vol pops, (ie. we move Big)
Keep a eye on the EURO, starting to hear the EU is in trouble, not being talked about in the US, all the big IB's are all over it. Looks like the EURO could become a currency W/O a country. The french have a key vote on the matter in May.
Feels like a turning point. GDP sucked, inventories are building, Inflation wories. We have tested the 10000 level on the dow 2 times, if it gets close again I expect us to rip right down.

4/28/2005 6:48:01 PM

first of all ^ i'm in love with you


and i know a guy in your neck of the woods (not my friend at BCG) that generally works the e-minis, who is now shorting Euro

4/28/2005 11:44:11 PM

i want to buy you a boiler room poster

5/4/2005 11:23:30 AM

Yup. Valero Energy (VLO) bit me in the ass, but otherwise I'm doing great today.

5/4/2005 11:23:50 AM

i would start getting out of oil slowly

and moreso out of gold and precious metals

5/4/2005 11:26:12 AM

Thanks for regurgitating readily available advice. Keeps me from having to look it all up and makes you look smart to the less informed.

5/4/2005 11:31:05 AM

your welcome





here's a good one: Boston Scientific

5/4/2005 11:39:50 AM

tell me about them, what the dilio...... btw whats a good online trading service......

5/4/2005 2:41:42 PM

on boston scientific..... i dont get it? if your refering to the release of the taxus express2 while it is going to ensure that they stay on top of the electrovascular stint market..... they will now have competition with other companies with the release of guidants stint and other companies, will the increase be that defined and obvious as last time. im just wondering what your seeing and what im not?

5/4/2005 3:07:48 PM

Medtronic is a threat to taxus2 as well. I like BSX because of the strength of their product compared to the others.

Also, their acquisition of Advanced Stent Technologies adds to capacity, which helps them with market share; and the acquisitions of Cryovascular and Trivascular add to the product portfolio.

If you're following the sector, you can trade them with success...but otherwise i guess i shouldn't have thrown out there for everyone.

5/4/2005 4:36:22 PM

i use scottrade, and am very happy with it

5/4/2005 4:37:01 PM

try checking out ameritrade; this service has been working pretty well

5/4/2005 5:19:44 PM

guidant is spose to edge medtronic........... again, but as usual only in stents. but guidant is going to still be behind. if guidant doesnt beat medtronic, then they will have to layoff again imo. ok point well made.

HERE'S THE FIRST RULE OF THE STOCK MARKET:

never let your emotions control you. always put the past behind you. if you bought at 30, and it has steadily gone down to 20 over the last month, do not hold onto what you have and hope it will bounce back up. make every decision from what your current state is. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE.

just remember this: you are a broker machine. you remember nothing, and you have no personal bias toward a company. if your nephew works at food lion you should have no inhibitions about cashing out your holdings there for a cool ten grand.

THE 2ND RULE IS THIS:

never do what someone tells you to do. in fact, do the opposite. because if I tell you to buy stock "RNA", i probably have about a thousand shares of "RNA", and as soon as you buy the sell price goes up and i sell.

so MAKE YOUR OWN INFORMED PREDICITIONS AND DECIISON>S.

THE 3RD RULE IS THIS:

if you hold an executive position, go see the new enron movie. i think it's called "the smartest guys in the room" or something.

[Edited on May 5, 2005 at 1:45 AM. Reason : 3rd & 2nd rule]

5/5/2005 1:41:20 AM

i'd say the rules are:

research
research
research

know your limits and stick to them, never deviate. if you plan to sell at 103, do so.

the majority of times you will get burned is when you ignore the rule ^.

5/5/2005 2:23:19 AM

shorting euro -- a big ole "hmmmm" to that

5/5/2005 2:51:35 AM

Nice job Fed, forgetting to release part of your statement, your incompetence is astonishing. Failing to release the entire Central bank statement of the largest most closely watched economy in the world is brilliant. I enjoyed the 51 point rally in the Dow 5 min before the close, I really enjoyed how it was it was quick and allowed me no time to load up on any decent calls. I enjoy going home thinking of ways to cover 8 million dollars of upside risk, the only thing I could think of was to buy a goat, maybe that would help? The 30 yr is bond is back n shit, smart move no reason the euro trash should have a monoply on the long bonds. A choice is always nice. Vol was crushed today allot of "fear" has evaporated from the mkt. Partly from the UK election, Europe was bludgeoned this morning and it came right over the pond and bit the US markets in the ass, it felt like the tue after the last pres. election. Could have been worse, Ford and GM were both cut to Junk today. All of the pension funds involved had to get out by law, cant hold junk in their portfolios, nice 8point move in 5 min. Thx. Straddles bounced back a bit mid day but still feels like someone took a dump on my chest 300k times. Wonderful, we need to rally 30 handles or print 1135 quick like.

5/5/2005 8:01:16 PM

Who the fuck are you?

5/5/2005 9:59:24 PM

I Just share what I am seeing/doing maybe someone cares, maybe not. I wished I had someone to bounce shit off when I was trading at state. Its diffrent trading from home / being on a trading floor. Index info helps all.

5/5/2005 10:21:50 PM

I'm just saying your info has you as a 23 yr old and you are tossing around lingo and knowledge that is pretty impressive for a lowly State grad.

Just wondering what your credentials are.

5/6/2005 12:27:19 PM

ok so let me have your idea's on this people, i was speaking to this guy about stocks. he has a program that finds stocks at their 52 week low's. mostly penny stock i think.
so he goes on to tell me that he has about a million shares of GWGOE.OB. I just got home and checked this stock out. Now i'm thinking, "is he serious" i think he's gambling on fate or he's just, hell who know's

rockitbaby keep doing what your doing, i'm listening.
hell its interesting and anyone smart would pay attention

5/6/2005 3:30:09 PM

Look if you want to dabble around in it and maybe make small change and maybe lose some, then by all means fuck with penny stocks. If you have less than 10-15k then just give it to a good mutual fund and forget about it for awhile.

5/6/2005 3:40:44 PM

yea, i dont even look at pennys...rockitbaby is my hero

5/6/2005 3:49:11 PM

^^ I just use the Fidelity search engine to find companies that have had 52 week low in the past week and have also had an earning report released recently. Then you just watch the company and buy up stock (or options) when it bottoms out - usually the market overreacts and it bounces up a few percent within a week or two.

I just made some good money doing that with Harely Davidson and IBM.

5/6/2005 4:13:55 PM

where's that Fidelity search engine?
