in my opinion, neither morgan stanley nor goldman will be left standing before this is all over. its a new era and wall street is changing. the independent investment banks can not survive in the form that they are currently in. morgan stanley is at least considering a merger (they should...

congrats on getting in at 1.37, great move. I probably would have sold out even sooner than $10. What were you waiting for? You already had a 1000% increase. you really believe that they'll have record earnings next quarter? i hope youre right. its a tempting buy at the $5 mark i think...

Ambac Confirms Limited Direct Exposure to Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. and its Subsidiaries NEW YORK, September 16, 2008 -- Ambac Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE: ABK) (Ambac) today confirmed that it has limited direct exposure to Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries...

will release a press release today saying that their exposure to lehman is minimal interesting to see how stock price will react

LEH will probably take a huge dive today (especially if no buyer appears) because no one will want to take the risk of holding it over the weekend. Too much uncertainty. Am I crazy for considering to jump in at some point today? Someone out there WILL buy this company. And if BSC could fetch...

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Goldman Sachs upgraded Washington Mutual to neutral from sell, saying the lender's capital is absorbing pain. "The message WaMu's pre-announcement seems to send is that things are worse than expectations in the third quarter, but not dramatically so. Credit is terrible...

I do not pretend to be an all knowing investor by any means, but I do strongly believe that DSCO will move upwards for the remainder of September. I have been following this stock for quite some time now (and it has been through alot). One thing I noticed is that before every major...

Think so? They may not be crushed as bad as the previous quarters because people now expect the earnings to be bad. It isnt unexpected. The bad news may already be factored into the price. The way things have been going, I wouldn't be surprised if MER (or any other bank) announced a $15...

damn they really rode this one up bigtime makes you regret not getting in on it at the open.

yea, people covering their shorts definately have something to do with this. its just eerily similar to the ABK rumors Step 1: WM <i>might</i> get a 5 billion dollar injection Step 2: Price shoots up on rumor Step 3: Sir Charles comes on and talks BS Step 4: Stock drops back down lower...

agreed. just need to pick the right entry point. the higher it goes, the more reluctant i am to try and pick a top

im considering entering a short position today after closing another trade. however, because of the volatility lately, im reluctant to pull the trigger.

if you believe its a "sell the news" event, maybe today's a good day to enter a short. I doubt this injection will be enough to set the stock back on the right path. A firm injected MBIA with 500 million when the stock was at 30 (its around 13 now). Even investment firms make bad calls. But...

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120753199958893909.html?mod=hps_us_whats_news "Private-equity firm TPG and other investors are close to a deal to invest $5 billion in Washington Mutual Inc., people familiar with the matter said Sunday. The injection of new capital would allow the country's...

I don't think we will be seeing anymore rate cuts from the Fed (barring anything catastrophic). two people voted against the fed cut last time and there will undoubtedly be more people against it if another one was brought up. they also have been hinting that we should not be expecting cuts from...

a 40%-50% drop in revenue = a 5% drop in stock price? the way GRMN is moving today seems very wierd. Anyone have any predictions on where the stock price will go and why?

Don't give up so easily. I know how you feel. I have been losing money continuously for the past 1-2 months and I felt the same way you did. But there's always hope. All it takes is one good day. I had a day (this past Tuesday) where I gained back half of all those losses in one day. It got me...

so what do you guys think now that AAPL has climbed its way back up to 145? I obviously regret getting out at 125 now, but like everyone else, i was afraid it would drop even lower. the market was in bad shape then. my question is, is it a good idea to get in now? or did i miss the train...

I like rule number 1. I never thought about it that way. Thats a problem I admit, getting out before the small losses become big. But I will continue to work on that. What do you mean trade the price? if you cant trade on rumors or news, what else is there to trade on? I don't think i...

Sorry to hear about your bad week. but from what i've seen of you on here, you seem to know what you're doing and im sure you'll get back on your game. I will try to chip away going forward and try to increase slowly. Only problem is after a day like this, i dont want to get cocky and make...
