02-11-07 07:09 PM - The Wedbush upgrade of SIRI drew my attention to have a look at the chart. It is near a 52 week low, so if one wanted to bet on the SIRI / XM merger that is all the talk, now may be the time to get in. I see limited downside risk and if the merger does happen, both stocks...

HPQ reports Tuesday after close. With all of the Vista pre-launch hype and the recent bearishness on the actual launch I can only assume that analyst estimates for FY '07 may be overly optimistic. While I imagine that they will beat the current quarter (as is their history), I am guessing we...

My Barron's play of the week is PFG. These statements got my attention: "In recent years, Principal has increased assets under management, organic sales and earnings per share by at least 17% annually. Each new dollar in a retirement account boosts margins because expenses don't go up as...

From the Rules: Prize Winners: ... Participant with the highest percentage gain in his/her total portfolio value during such week will be declared the Weekly Winner for that week and will be entitled to receive a Weekly Prize, as described below, ... At the beginning of the Finals, the...

Hell Stoney - You didn't miss anything. It's cheaper now than it was on your original post. Quick glance at the chart tells me overall the trend still looks down. But... today it did have a higher low and the close was strong - price and volume up in the last hour. The RSI and MACD still show...

Apparently, it's not as hot as we hoped. I just picked up a few hundred more at $17.

LOL - I just checked again, and i got allocated a whopping 100 shares (I requested 700). Is this common? Is there a relationship to requested quantity vs. allocated? ie. If I had asked for 2000, would I have maybe received 200 or 300? I assume most shares must go to the heavy hitters.

Actually I guess I am not yet sure if I got in or not. It was priced last night at $15 and I affirmed my offer to purchase. Right now the broker says "Allocation in Progress". I really don't know when it will actually start trading. I am assuming today or tomorrow?

Being unhappy with my wife's mood swings, I bought her a mood ring the other day so I would be able to monitor her moods. I've discovered that when she is in a good mood, it turns green. When she's in a bad mood, it leaves a big fuckin' red mark on my forehead. I think next time I'll buy...

Damn Stoney, you kill me.

That's what kills me - I'm out $300+ for jewelry, flowers, dinner, whatever for the wife every Valentines. She gets me a card and a cheap box of candy that the kids eat. Oh well - thats the power of the, you know - maybe I'll get lucky tonight. What we need is a man's holiday - I propose that...

O.K. - Here's the deal. It looks like I got in on this IPO, which is my first IPO experience before actual trading anyway. My broker has a requirement that if I sell within 30 days, that would in effect put me "on restriction" for 90 days for participating in further IPOs. I have day-traded...

Unfortunately, it looks like it's trying to fill the downside gap. I've got an alert set to trigger at 13.35 and will buy at 13.40+. If it can get some momentum, looks like it would be clear sailing to 16.

Stoney - What can I say, you sure have made the right calls on this one. You got out at $12+ and it falls immediately to the 9's. (Also a great call on CGLI - I'm in on that one). REFR closed awfully weak - at the low of the day. I'd look for it to fall further tomorrow. I'd be real...

She opened up pretty strong today with a little volume for the first 1/2 hour anyway. A few hundred shares here and there drove her right up to $11.45. Thought to myself "maybe we got something going today". Well....It is becoming evident that she is a morning person and doesn't do so well after...

Stoney - Olevia only makes LCD's and they have been given very good ratings. They have an excellent picture, and cost several hundred dollars less than comparable models from the "big" names (Sony, Sammy, etc.) Recently given a "Best Buy" rating from Consumer Reports. Blurb: "This TV had...

Here is a link to a list of U.S. Stocks that trade in Frankfurt. http://money.cnn.com/data/premarket/frankfurt/?

OVTI up 7% today on news. 42% of float was short as of Jan 9. Is there a squeeze here or will it just fall back down? I would have preferred for it to close above the 50 DMA for support. Thoughts anybody?

Stoney - Thanks for the tip on JADE. I almost pulled the trigger on the pullback earlier today, even though that would have broken one of my rules. I really don't like buying a stock that is going for more than 25% over it's 50 day MA. Jade is over 50% - yikes! Have a look at the BRLC thread...
