i think u owe cramer an apology

you can't look at insider selling. Imagine you're an sw developer or mid level management making 60-120k a year, and now all of a sudden you have 1-5million in stock. You'd sell some too, regardless of whether it was going to go up/down/sideways. Why? cuz you have to enjoy life today. Now...

maybe the s&p is waiting until goog hits the $500 dollar mark before announcing the addition. would add some flare to the announcment ($500 stock added to s&p 500). they could even give it a 5.00% weighting.

my statement was lighthearted. in seriousness though, for a company thats around 30 in market cap to be overlooked last time there was an s&p slot is ridiculous. Even if its share price was 1/3 what it is, it would still deserve to be on the s&p over some of the companies on there.

It'll be added to the dow before it gets added to those two. for some reason the s&p don't like google. Its already around #30 market cap size for publicly traded us companies.

using the martingale system (or any other betting system) will not change mathematical expectation. Will it will do is modify the profit/loss curve (eg. some systems will give you a higher probability of winning, and a lower probability of losing, but the avg loss will outweigh the avg win so...

its amazing how one company can keep overcharging/not doing contracted work and keep getting new contracts. if boeing, raytheon, lockheed, general dynamics, bae systems, etc did this i bet they'd be forced to eat the overcharges & it would hurt their future business.

buy goog calls every month. this stock never goes down. practically risk free.

Actually no one was able to make the requested return. 8% a month (after fees) is 251% a year when compounded (1.08^12). I'm guessing the thread starter wants their money compounded, or else wheres the challenge? Now, just to make sure everyone gets this right. 8% a month after fees is...

fidelity...they're honest & provide good services. 500k won't get you the best commission though (you'll need 1 mil).

It wouldn't be exercised if you called your broker and told them not to. Many brokers have the automatic exercise for in the money by 25 cent options unless you specifically advise them not to. I'm sure if you also said "never automatically exercise" they'd probably agree to. If you don't...

I'm done. My trading track record sucks. I have pretty much no skill at predicting <5 day price movement. My investing track record is pretty good (I've beat the s&p by a nice margin in my 3 years). There's no way i'm going to grow 1k to 30k+ without blowing up somewhere along the...

looks like rmkr had a good earnings report (-1cent/share reported, -3cent/share estimated). didn't quite kill, so I don't expect a whole lot in the next couple days. I'll give it a couple days to bounce and if it does I'll sell. Chaos, what exactly makes you think INGN is going to break out...

bought 1705 shares of rmkr at $0.58/share

5 days into round 2 of the experiment... No trades have occured yet... Doing better (% wise & $ wise) then after the same number of days elapsed last round... $1000 cash as of today. Plan on making my move tommorrow...

Well he clearly states multiple times (in his books, on tv) never to use market orders. And to use limit orders. So if people are putting market orders at the open, they are not following his advice, but rather changing his advice to suit their own preferences. When these people lose money...

this is awesome! you didn't really buy it did you?

can't win if you don't play the game.:)

I regained (and then some) the capital that I lost on the yhoo trade this past week (i had some goog options). so its time to get this experiment kick started again. The goal is no longer to buy an nsx. The goal will be to set me up for retirement. I'm going to scale back my starting...

I'd like to get a list of companies that do not provide earnings guidance. To limit the list (getting rid of all the micro cap companies), Options should exist for the stock. It should have atleast 7 analysts. The only 2 I know off the top of my head are -- goog shld any others?
