also wanted to mention how frustrating CAT and OXY are being..i would add more to both if i wasn't already heavily allocated..i guess i feel the same way apple holders feel. obviously looking for big bounces in both! they both announce Monday and I will hold both through earnings...

just sold KMB, made 11% in 3 weeks. i was planning on holding to KMB longer term but 11% in a boring name like KMB in 3 weeks gotta take the gains off the table.

finally got big jump in OXY swing trading is tough, i think OXY will be at 100 within 6 months. so should i just hold until it reaches my price target or try and play all the ups and downs on the way there? for now i will hold but a big part of me wants to sell after this 3.5% pop today...

just sold AFL50 May18 P @$2.03 net of commissions

have a lot of oxy, made some trades that i didnt post. would do this trade if my account was bigger: Sell jan 2015 AAPL put @350 for $40 In Jan 2015 based off current estimates apple will have around 260B in cash which would put them at about 285 per share in cash alone. If you get put...

just transferred 2k into account. account value: $33,754 total deposits: $19,400 getting absolutely crushed today even though im like 2/3 cash. somehow CAT, COH, and OXY are all getting absolutely killed today, which happen to be like the only 3 holdings I have (except for small...

account value: $32,340 coh and oxy trade doing very well so far, oxy kinda gave some back today but happy overall with the two. i dont like being as much cash as i am right now and watching the market take off obviously but going to keep as is for now and see what happens.

this is also true, though not against firm policy youd be in deep shit. for this reason i dont trade anything clients are in short or long. the other main reason is because if i want to sell/buy anything for a client i have to wait 24 hours to do it for my own account. however, the worst is...

right, but im not a teller, im a financial adviser on the brokerage side. im done arguing about this, the 3 points i listed are the only things i have to follow. its up to you whether you want to keep your tinfoil hat on or not

guys...i personally work for an investment bank, and not any investment bank but like i said one of the largest. the only thing i can suggest is if you also work for one and cant trade in your personal account is to come work for my firm i guess i dont know. im not looking to argue with all of...

i dont know what to tell you other then i personally dont work in the investment bank department and work on the brokerage side. i dont know if that has anything to do with it, but my company is technically considered an investment bank. i also highly highly doubt my company is non...

Hmm well its either not like that anymore or my firm isn't compliant. Like I said tho its one of the biggest three in the us so you should have a decent idea of which one I'm talking about

for my previous post i meant to quote this, and not what i actually quoted.

BTW your statement is incorrect :) I work for an IB, one of the largest in the US. and I will tell you right now there are only 3 restrictions. 1. you have to make all personal trades in disclosed accounts (no hidden accounts) 2. you cant make any trades in personal accounts that are the...

just bought 100 shares of COH @ 48.43

right, im not saying buffett's activity is an indicator nor am i saying you should follow him, but OP posted an article of buffett selling puny holdings in jnj, pg, and some other stock and seemed to think that meant billionaires were selling. i was just saying looking at those small sales is...

this is a very uneducated post, who cares if buffett sold $3B in consumer stocks if he bought a $26B rail road, invested $5B in bofa, opened a $10B position in IBM, and just bought heinz, a consumer stock. this post was a very one sided look at buffett's activity, if you look at the whole...

just put in large trade for OXY @81.98. im okay with this purchase price as its lower then i sold my last oxy block for at like 83.50. im a little worried because if the market starts to crack i think oxy will feel it pretty heavily. i do think this thing runs up to 110 or so at some point...

just bought back afl put for 0.38 (i actually bought it back for 0.32 but 0.38 includes commissions). I really need to reconsider doing these because I am required to use a certain brokerage firm and the cheapest I can get is 7$ per option trade. thats $14 round trip which represents way too...

bizarre last 6 months for NSC.. http://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=nsc&ty=c&ta=1&p=d I posted the purchase date in my journal but I literally bought NSC at the very bottom of that chart and have held it all the way up til now. NSC has been my biggest winner ever, partly because I've held it...
