your p/E ratio calculation is flawed. You are using a forward p/E based on estimated earnings. The latest reported earnings indicate a p/E closer to 50. I am happy to see ATW dropping again. I will cover in low 90's. cheers.

I have been shorting and covering ATW the last 2 months now in the range of 102 to 88. Seems overpriced. Short interest growing as well. Insiders selling off recently too. Major institutional ownership (they don't sell much) which makes me think this is the reason the stock is...

Mine is being paralyzed in a car or motorcycle accident. I wouldn't be able to live if I couldn't walk. I would kill myself. I have the greatest respect and admiration for those that can live their lives in a wheelchair. I sold my 'donor machine' as well as my 158 mph top speed car...

hi mr nhtrader, nice to hear you are getting into NL hold em poker. Here is some very valuable information (free of charge too!) If your opponent has a 4 flush on the flop, he has 9 outs, assuming you don't hold that suit. The odds of hitting his flush on the turn or river is 9x4% or...

fletch, There are many reasons 'why' people cannot make a living playing poker. You have mentioned some of them including discipline. The fact still remains that only 1 in 200 people can and do make a living playing poker. Could be they don't have a large enough bankroll, could be they...

ok Don, If you want to split hairs with me. Here are some stats to consider: 1 in 200 people can actually make a living playing poker. and, card counting is the only way to even have a chance at making it playing blackjack. If you saw the show on the history channel about the MIT...

Ask yourself this question: When you go to the casino and play some craps, roulette or whatever, say you win some money, does Uncle Sam want to know about it? Now ask yourself this: Why is it that you have to report any and all stock trades on your tax form? The answer as you may or...

Is this the dead cat bounce or have we finally turned the corner?

I am having a tough time deciding what to do with GM. Seems like the stock is such a bargain and has a terrific dividend yield, but there is such loom and gloom hanging over it about possible BK. What do you think?

It is really too bad that GM got a bad reputation for producing poor quality vehicles. Nowadays, GM is producing very reliable vehicles and with the recent huge price cuts, its a shame that Americans are flipping em off. GM is paying the price for past mistakes. I guess its true what...

the only sure things in life 'cheese' are death and taxes! The next best thing to a sure bet are horseshoes and hand grenades! anything else has to account for some risk...and if I could flip a coin a ga-zillion times and risk a dollar to win 2 dollars, I'd have all the money in the...

Mike, read my post about the game and how it works before posting your answer please. In the game you have $64,000....if you answer incorrectly, you leave with $32,000. However, if you answer correctly, you will now have $125,000. So, you are risking $32,000 of the $64,000 you have to...

the risk reward is not 1/1, its 1/2 you risk 1 to win 2

Let me explain the way the game "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" in case you forgot or never saw the show. You answer questions and win money. If you answer 10 questions correctly, you are assured $32,000. The 11th question is worth $64,000, but you are actually not risking losing any money...

my EV is well worth it....of course 32k is a good chunk of change! if it was risking 500k to win 1 million on a 50/50 I would probrably say no though. This is a good question and the results would certainly change based on the amount of money at risk! I can't imagine anyone with half a...

Would you go for it or not?

murray, Have to dis-agree with you. Shorting is no more risky than betting that heads will come up vs. tails on the flip of a coin. A stock may move up or down. Particular stocks may turn out to be very bad short candidates and some may be great ones. Most people tend to be long on...

with options though you have to hit the price within a certain time frame. I had shorted DHB at 11.44. I thought for sure it would be between 4-5 by April 15th this year. I was right that it would hit that price, just the timing was off a few months.

A co-worker and I had a heated debate over this very question. He feels that shorting a stock is much riskier because you could actually lose much more than your initial investment and the most you could gain was limited to the stock going to zero. I told him that shorting was no riskier...

Is shorting a stock riskier than being long on a stock?
