IDEV....$1.33. Worth a look....went from $4.00 last week to that because of an FDA delay in approval in a drug.
Been loading up on GM stock. Still holding CCOI. I flipped SIRI and ONT again for $130 a pop in 1 day. Debating on what to buy next....thinking of grabbing more GM at $16.85???
I still believe SIRI will hit $3.00 just to clearify....I am holding a lot of SIRI shares right now also....just sold a partial.

F is a good swing but I think it might drop down to $5.80. GM is expected to be a top performer. It hasn't been as low as Ford so investors jump all over it when its as low as it is now. Its a mental game. But Ford has been down to $5.50 range. Sad part is, I have a guy at work who dumped over $50,000 in it when Korkerian bought his shares at $8.50 a share or whatever it was. He seemed to remember that when Korkerian bought GM the stock went up...I remember it going down and told this guy not to buy. Some people are just idiots.
GM is easier to flip because it can move $0.50-1.25 in a single day.
IDEV....I never bought any and it has moved up since my pick. Currently at $1.39.

KO $55.50 GE $29.80 PFE $17.70 BA $70.00 BAC $29.50
KO....Coke....I would stay away at that price. It is up 4% from your pick but its already up around its 3 year high which scares me.
GE....Great buy!
PFE...Phizer....Good buy....sell at $19.50
BA.....Boeing, I think I would stay away from this one also. Not comfortable with airlines situations with rising fuel costs. If airlines are struggling then they would give less business to companies like Boeing.
BAC....Bank of America....Great buy!!
Mark...I like your picks and hope you continue posting them when you get them.
ONT can be flipped again right now....Buy $0.77....exit $0.81....5.2% gain.
SIRI.......$2.55 Buy now also....this stock will hit $3.00.

Good to read. Ford closed at $6.12 I believe. Good time to buy I think if Kerkorian still buys his shares.
Kerkorian's move on Ford flushes out the doubters 3:01p ET June 10, 2008 (MarketWatch) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- You've got to admire Kirk Kerkorian's pluck. But can it turn around Ford Motor Co.?
His investment company, Tracinda Corp., announced Tuesday that it still intends to buy 20 million shares of Ford , or about 5.5% of the company. Owners of a billion shares -- nearly half of those on the market -- rushed to sell, which was hardly surprising given that Kerkorian was willing to pony up $8.50 a share for a stock currently trading at $6.20. See full story.
What is he thinking? Gasoline prices have topped $4 a gallon. Ford, for years heavily dependent on oversize pickups and SUVs for the bulk of its profits, has seen its sales plunge 16% from a year ago. Despite a draconian overhaul of its product line and massive layoffs, Chief Executive Alan Mulally last month warned that the company was going to miss its previous target of profitability by 2009.
So what does Kerkorian see in Ford that others don't?
Hard to say. Certainly, most of the headlines on the U.S. auto industry read like obituaries. An investment in Ford or its bigger crosstown rival, General Motors Corp. , certainly doesn't fit any strategy for quick profits. Nor does it make sense if the objective is capital preservation.
But Kerkorian must see something in Ford's future that eludes most investors. That could be reason enough for the bigger risk-takers out there to revisit the company's prospects.
Kerkorian made a similar bet on GM, building up a 7.4% stake in the automaker over the past few years while it struggled to defend market share in the face of intense pressure from the Japanese. Through Tracinda, Kerkorian pumped about $1.6 billion into GM, installed his sidekick Jerry York on the board and raised all sorts of hell at the company.
In late 2006, Kerkorian dumped his stake in GM, disgruntled over its slow pace of change. He may have been disgruntled, but he walked away with $100 million in profit for his trouble.
Investors with the cash and fortitude to hang in there are no doubt hoping Kerkorian nudges Ford's share price in the same direction and then some. Disgruntled or not, that's how he got to be a billionaire -- making big bets that often go dead against market sentiment.

INTC.......$20.71. Watch for a spike. They beat the street by 25% in earnings.
I took my $9,000 loss on GM in hopes to buy back in cheaper. Sold today at $9.96. I really am confused with the markets lately. SIRI is moving back up again....but still. They rely on new car sales to boost customers. Almost all new Dodge trucks are sold with 1 year free subcription of SIRIS. But if people are buying economy cars....will they come with SIRIS Radio? They also went down because radios installed in new cars today have that AUX imput for IPODS and other gadgets. That is the main reason SIRIS dropped in the first place. I am planning on jumping back in either F or GM again. Just not sure right now. Almost took my $9,000 I dropped in the account a month ago and bought ONT at $0.42. Wish I had!!! Thinking of selling some of these stocks short now.
I listened on the news radio about IRAN in how they control the price of OIL. They had that hoax of a missle they sent to ISREAL in hopes they would bomb them. If that would happen then OIL would hit $350 a barrel. They also said it costs IRAN $1-5.00 a barrel. And that they are making $140 a barrel profit now. That really scares me. Glad BUSH never attacked them. Then they talked about the guy in South America in how he jacks up the price because he is huge ANTI USA. Its just getting sick out here. Housing has crashed even more. They just sold a house today 3 houses down from me for $35,000 cash. 5 years ago housing was selling for $150,000. Are we going into a recession???? It feels that way in Michigan. Job losses for that extra savings by CHINA doing our work. Just the other day I looked in my sister's house and grabbed 9 random items. 7 was made in CHINA, 1 in BRAZIL and 1 in KOREA. Nothing was made in the USA. What does that say? I challange you all to try it sometime and post the results. The items we had was a DODGE hat, Nail Clippers, Blanket, Office Chair, Board Game, doll, Shoes, Key Fob (Remote for car) and a lamp. The nail clippers were Korea, forgot which item was BRAZIL...wasn't shoes, blanket, doll, hat, or lamp....thinking maybe the office chair. Anyways....If we could boycot items that are made in other countries, only then can our economy have a chance. I also listen to the candidates say...we will train people to do high tech jobs.......yeah....what jobs??? Nobody cares about the AUTO INDUSTRY, TRADE, etc. But when the auto industry takes a hit and we have no money to buy USA made, then and only then will the rest of the USA realize how bad it is.
Sorry for the rant.....just confused and pissed off about everything.
