r1..i like all but VG..looks like a good portfolio to me..I too picked up more SIRI, and SRS at the close today .39 in mine and my kids account..they are due to report earnings next week on the 7th..good luck to us..im honestly feeling a 50%+ pop on this by then. Another interesting pick is one my big time contractor neighbor and i were kicking around over mass quantities of brews....VHC they are basically a start up company with good pattents and are due any day now for a court ruling against Microsoft which according to him..he just built a house for the CEO of VHC and "there is no way they are gonna loose"..so im in for 1K bucks at 1.11 (that is the most I ever put in on "tips" and specs, especially from a non stock investor neighbor)..cause if the ruling goes as planned.."its going to 20" time will tell..keep in mind this is total speculation but you can read the ****s and such on vinfiz.com..so far so good...read about it and tell me what you think??thats it for today

Morpheus....good luck with VHC...I wouldn't of bought in on that one.
Here is a old pick of mine that could continue to rocket up. I don't think it will slow down much until it hits $2.00-2.50. Its IVAN I is doubled since march and looks to move up another 23-54% in the next few months.
Well, holding everything for now.

Interesting. That was good and bad news. I do have SIRI in numerous accounts. Way before you picked it and also loaded up after you picked it also. Just wish I wasn't loaded before you said buy....
Anyways, I have to fully agree with the lower customers because of lower auto sales. However, on Chrysler part, the radios are made with SIRIUS Technology which makes me believe that SIRI gets a kick back for the auto makers to offer SIRIUS Radio as advertising. So which makes me wonder who really makes the radios, wires, Roof receivers???
I hope the market pukes soon....Dow future is (12). Needs to be like (750).
So you sell DRYS yet???
I have been watching the metal companies also...they looking hot right now. X, AA, (Forgot the others...lol).
Well, off to finish working....laid off until WHO KNOWS!!! (Chrysler worker...or is that FIAT????)

all the longs are un f-ing belivable ..CPSL CENX and the coals JRCC and PCX..I picked up 2K shares of CPSL today about 15 minutes after the open(late as I look back)and it climbed higher and then dipped ..only to shake me out like a big chicken and I took a small loss..???? and then the dang thing went and turned right around not 1 minute after I bailed and shot up 50%..it was just one of those days..i kept playing for a reversal via SRS and SKF and LVS ..but got slamed to the floor in the end..looking for a better day tuesday..with the same strategy..short

Sitting on VG, SKF, SRS, SIRI now...SIRI up 20% for me. Rest are deep red....???
I don't know which way to play the market anymore. We keep testing different waters and seems like Cramer might be right with the mutual funds and investors trying to catch the ride up and BUY BUY BUY. However, Cramer didn't say when it will stop. This is from last nights show.
So, what to buy next???
SIRI....getting the $0.47 barrier BEAT DOWN again.

SIRI....Well...I have 2 different quotes....$0.47x0.49 and $0.52x0.54. I have no idea why TDAmeritrade has 2 different ones. But I like that 2nd quote pretty good.
GM....Guess my father was right....Stock gonna crash HARD and FAST!!! Closed at $1.85....ask right now is $1.50. They gonna get 50%+ owned my treasury like my father said. To make that happen...GM will dillute the stock severly!!! My father always said something he would do if it does go down. He would buy $1,000 worth for a NICKLE!!
GM also warned that amendments to its restated certificate of incorporation would increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to 62 billion. The company is also mulling a 1-for-100 reverse common stock split.
"If the restructuring as currently contemplated occurs, there will be very substantial dilution to existing holders of GM common stock," the company said in the filing.
"After the restructuring, as currently contemplated... existing holders of GM common stock would hold approximately 1% of the outstanding GM common stock," it said.
Here is the kicker....can someone explain this....my math doesn't work right....So GM is a public company. They give you 1 share for you 100 shares. Well....I thought that when a stock splits either way that the company would get the same split. So if share holders own 30% or say 3,000 shares and GM owns 70% or 7,000 shares. They do a RS of 1-100. So share holders would own 30 shares and GM would own 70 shares. How is that 1%????
Here is another fire to throw in. Fiat is OK'd to buy Chrysler. Chrysler is OK'd to chop company debt/assets up selling good to Fiat. Fiat wants to buy GM Europe/Germany. So Fiat goes to #2 car maker immediately. Does that mean Ford is next or the last standing AMERICAN AUTOMAKER????
Anyways....just saw that "C" needs $5-10B more to function. That is wierd....that asian guy testified in congress that they didn't need any money a month ago or so. BAC needs $30B.
FRE gets kick ruling so might jump.
Well, off to bed. But FAZ should get a huge KICK today!! Thinking it will touch $7.75-8.20. But we know that won't happen.
Wait....got a few to watch. BIDU....it flatlined finally. Thinking it will more down now. CAR got a big kick so might go down. ABK moved up 50% so thinking with bank scares today it will move back down to maybe $1.20.

Just got a chance for a quick peak. So how does the market move up when they get bad news. They are calling it: "Bank of America Fails Upward"
That absolutely makes no sense.
CAR....seriously....what is making this stock blow up??? Its up way over 600% from a few months ago. Is this possible for SIRI????
FAZ....I have money available.....don't know if I want to roll the dice and grab any....seems betting on the market going down is the wrong move lately.

I guess at some point today I will probably buy even more FAZ ... I just am weary with the official stress tests results coming out tomorrow ... if the results are better than expected, FAZ will tumble even harder.

Cramer talked about that the other day on his show and said that mutual funds and investors are trying to catch the ride up. That is why it keeps moving up each day. He thinks it will stay on track for a little while but did say it would be considered OVERBOUGHT but the buying frenzy has got investors buying.

Average is down to 7.17 now, but that seems pretty high considering what it will take to get it back up there.

Does anyone still see the market taking a downturn anytime soon ? I am tired of making maintenance calls over and over, I am about to just take the loss on FAZ and call it quits for awhile again.

VG doubled this morning in pre-market. Increased outlook for the year and I was selling at $1.10 but might sit on it now for a while. All green on it now. Just wish I had dropped $5,000 more on it like I was going to last week.
SIRI....Earnings look flat to me. Not a big change, just slight improvement in many areas. I like that they increased outlook as well.
ALL FINANCIALS are UP BIG!!! I'm getting beat down hard playing SKF. Hoping they will turn around ASAP!!!
FRE/FNM....up big today as well. FRE at $1.04. FNM is at $0.97. So what one is at the other will follow. So FNM might gain another $0.07 or 7.2%
LVLT....this one has been jumping back and forth from $1.00-1.25. Currently up but I think if it drops back down. Grab some.

I have no idea. I have banged my head on the wall alot as well. However, I am playing both sides of the fence now and that has been the only way I have stopped loosing soo much.
