And thanks again, Ace, for giving me the heads up on Lionmaster. I took a look at some of his recent picks and bought some JMBA in premarket at $2.55. Sold it later at $2.85.
I guess every little bit helps, but geez it's gonna be a long road. I finally did today what I've been avoiding doing for about a month and a half: I updated my total investments spreadsheet that I keep for hubby and me(this includes our 401k's, mutual funds, stocks). All told we are down $88,000 since October 9, 2007 which was our highest point. Down about $30,000 from where we were this time last January. I still cannot believe the speed in which I saw my paper profits evaporate. I MEAN THIS WAS JUST SINCE OCTOBER 9TH PEOPLE!!! Ironically, I started a part-time job on OCTOBER 8th. I pretty much lost 7 times my frickin' yearly salary since then.
The only silver lining is that I am still SLIGHTLY "green" from when I started trading, but that was nearly two years ago now. I feel like I've wasted two years of my life trying to learn this stuff only to be back nearly where I started. DAMN you FRPT!! DAMN you, PAY, CROX, JSDA, MON, OSK, EPAX AND EVERY OTHER FRICKIN' STOCK I BOUGHT OR SOLD AT THE EXACT WRONG TIME!!!!
Sorry this has nothing to do with APPL (except that my choice of buying APPL contributed to some of my losses) But, it's nice to vent amoung cyber-friends.

Oh, and by the way, short GME and buy MON (if you know what I mean LOL)

MON got up to a high of about $3.50 more than I sold it for.
Can I ever catch a break?
MON had blow out number released before the market crashed! This dip was a great buying opportunity!
If sold for any profit you shouldn't be beating yourself up for selling early! In this market you got to take profits quicker than in a full blown bull rally! And if you sold for a loss.....just be glad your not this guy on the day after the global sell off on sunday/MLK day

LOL, I am that guy. Minus the bad language and on a smaller scale.
I made only a teeny tiny profit on MON. It was sheer luck though because I had a stop loss in that day the market had those wild swings. I cancelled it that morning, thank goodness, or I'm sure it would have filled at the LOD of $93.22.
Because of that scare, as soon as I was in the green, I sold it.

APPL been climbing slow and steady for a while now. Minor setback yesterday. I think we are headed back to the 160's by mid April. Am I the only one still holding this?

With only a couple days to go before Steve Jobs’ June 9 keynote — and with millions of 3G iPhones reportedly shipped and ready to sell — it’s a miracle that nobody outside a small circle of loyal employees, NDA-bound suppliers and (we presume) a few hand-picked reporters has set eyes on one.
Or maybe we have. Since early April, the Apple rumor mill has been steadily grinding out specs and spy photos purporting to represent the new iPhone. Most are surely red herrings or Photoshop creations. But what if one of them is real?
Just in case, here’s a collection of the images that have come across my desk over the past few months. If you’ve seen more — or better — send me the links, and I’ll pop them in. [Subscribers: click here to see what I'm talking about.]
April 3: U.S. iPodObserver.com. This one with a shiny black plastic back looked promising for a couple weeks…
April 30: U.S. iLounge. Third-party manufacturers have already started building products using the specs in the diagram below, according to iLounge. “Photographs matching these details are apparently authentic,” says iLounge’s Jeremy Horwitz, “ones that do not, are not.”
May 5: China, WeiPhone.com. This is the first of several white 3G iPhone spy shots. Note the similarity of the second image to the iLounge specs above.
May 19: U.S. Mobilewhack.com. These crisp, professionally produced images are white and rounded, but lack some of the details that have become conventional wisdom, like the Apple logo and the distinctive base.
May 26: Greece, iphonehellas.gr. These shots, formatted to resemble an Apple ad, bear little resemblance to any of the others, but they do pick up the iLounge color scheme.

Ace.. "Why didn't you?...that is the question???"
For one, because this is 'the hotstocks' forum.. This thread is well over a year old. The stock has not been "hot" for a year.. its been hot the last 3 months, but not the year this threads existed.
It is well overdue to have a new thread and a new TITLE, and what better time than a new product launch.

Bro this stock has been the HOTTEST stock for years ever since the IPOD came out!!!
Its not the APPLE has been hot the past few months....the whole market bounced after bottoming.
And Look at the most recent posts...there have posts every month this year and in 2007

Here is a memorible quote from you on August 16, 2007 12:45 PM
APPL is at the end of its iPhone run. The next competitors will be out soon and the glory is over.
Many rushed out and bought the phone for the bling factor but are starting to realize.. they cant even use it!
For twice the competitors price... iphone does not let you:
cant send mms messsages (picture messages) cannot be used as a modem (no way to use it with your laptop for internet access) its "massive storage" can only hold itunes songs.. no data.. which is ok because it cant use any data like docs and xls files anyway. no synching with outlook (of course they dont want to deal with Microsoft products.. but huge limitation to anyone that uses a phone for more than a call) cant send anything over blue tooth. no java or 3rd part application support no voice activated dialing no external storage like SD cards hell, you cant even use your iTunes songs as ring tones!
Stick a fork in it
People are finally starting to see that their iphone is pretty much a useless toy.. mauahhahah!
Oh, forgot the silly web browser also doesnt support flash!
Ok now im done.
STILL not covering my short position yet.
$112 and dropping.

Here was my reply to you on August 23, 2007 01:23 AM
TIMW....Apple already has other phones being made right now!!!
...they will release even better phones soon...the first IPHONE was just to get their feet wet...and let the World know they mean business...Apple phones are here to stay
...............................................
I was right on the money......
Many Apple fans have been on this thread for a while now...let's keep it going in 2008 and beyond!!!
