I'm glad I went back to bed. PPHM dropped and dropped and dropped. Didn't come up much after the $1.50 peak. I likely would of gambled again.
Anyways, hope someone made some money with me. Up 6.23% in 2 trades. We'll see what Wednesday brings.
AMR...does this make sense. First part...they are under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection...which means stock will be WORTHLESS one day. Tuesday they agree to align with British Airways for Trans Atlantic flights. So, positive news. However...stock will still be WORTHLESS. Horrible timing on news. If the news would of came out before the filing, their stock would of jumped and they could of sold stock to buy down debt....preventing a Chapter 11 filing. So...why are people still pushing AMR up??? Its still going to be WORTHLESS.
Ok...off to bed.

AMR...$0.83 premarket. Geez...might be some free money here. Going to watch...but never hold.
PPHM...might be another pinch of free money. $1.21 x $1.25
Still looking for something volatile.
GALE...up 24% today at $0.67. Might be some free money here. Going to watch. Likely will be my play today.
But I'm still holding out for a long position. I'd like to see the market drop like a rock. When I do go long, it will be BAC/MT/AKS/X/MS and a few others.

I'm tempted to buy FAZ...been burned on ETF a few times. But if the market drops...it pops.

AMR...$0.97...guess I should of grabbed it premarket at $0.771....up 25.8% from target.
PPHM...$1.18....dead duck it seems like. Hard to watch them all at once with the movement they are going.

Didn't get filled. Was very close. At $0.94 now. Well, off to get some things done. No trading for me today...unless I get back early. Sure wish I had placed the $0.77 order when it was available. I never thought it would touch $0.99 today. Maybe $0.85-85...but wow.
PPHM and GALE are both duds.
Good luck all.

BIDU puts worked out well...UNG calls not so much, holding Aprils so time is on my side....Maybe the EIA delivers another storage surprise tomorrow...
Will be watching FAZ and the big banks next two days...Should be some crazy volatility in the weeklies with news trickling out of the EU summit...

DRL pincher. May have a wee bit of dilution against it though.

That was a great video. 30 minutes long but now I understand how everything works.
Been silent because I bought MS and AA. Didn't sell either when I had some nice profits...then they tanked. AA still down. MS...up 2.34%. Wanted to sell at $17. So in debate now on if I should hold it or sell and buy FAZ.

Up 23.17% since starting back up in December. I want to top 1,000% this year. Going to be a workout for sure....but possible. Sold my AA and MS today. Tired of watching it go up and down and sitting in the middle.
Market prediction for Thursday. Drop 70 points. Hmmmm....come on 500 point drop. I'm also in debate on buying FAZ. I held off today since I have no clue what the market will do at this point. 12,400+ is a big test. Tricky to hold stocks at this point or buy new ones. So gonna wait for a nice dip or a quick play.

I almost was looking for the drop back too. I think we'll see it soon enough but when I looked closer I was thinking we'd see 12,8 DOW again. Jobs report coming out may inflate things a bit, December isn't a very reliable number imo. 1,000%? Good luck, hope you get there or better. 2011 was pretty good to me, congrats on your 23+%!!
