Thanks for the replies! I agree with both of you, it can be a good spec play, but not something you should invest in as a sizable portion of your portfolio. Yeah man, that's crazy it used to trade around $70 a share, now it's around $1.

Hi All, Out of curiosity today I checked to see whatever became of MCP (Molycorp) and noticed that it is up 67% to 89 cents, as of writing this. The biggest piece of news I saw on it was that Siemens and MCP made a 10 year deal to supply the rare earth materials in future Siemens...

Thanks for the reply! :-)

Hi All, I bought HSBC and plan on holding it long-term. I have heard news that there are calls to break the bank up since it is viewed by some to be "too big to manage." I realize they may not even break it up down the road, but if this happened, what would that do to the shares I own in...

Hi Everyone, I think these two stocks are pretty interesting to watch, and it will be good to see what happens in the future with them after the FDA approvals or denials with their weight loss products. Anybody else following them?

Hi, Thanks all for the answers! I agree with what people were saying, there is no magic cure for selling at the right price. I think, hey, as long as you're making money, it's all good! :-)

Hi All, I enjoy trading, but as a retail, small time investor all the information I get about the market is on CNBC and the internet. Also, I don't have the same training the pros have, although I would like to learn. Does anyone have any info on what it is like in the day of a retail...

Hi, Like other people, I either panic when a stock is down and am tempted to sell or when I'm up I like to sell too early to ensure I will keep the profits I have. Are there any methods people use to control these emotions? I know one way is to just not login to my trading account, or just...
