Expect a visit from Stock777 any time now calling your trading skill in to question. It won't make a difference if you profit from the trade or not, its enough that you had the temerity to short goog. The thing about Goog though is that there are so many synergies that it has going for it...

That was the quickest major (for me) money I have ever made!

And for the record the buy and cover for the trades that resulted in that 36 point gain in a matter of a week or two were posted ahead of time on ET.

You got that right!!! Dude picking Goog's left and right and holding for hundred's of points, that is my hero right there. Too bad about the attitude.

Well I am not a professional shorter but I am a professional trader and have been for a long time. I have shorted Goog a couple of times this year and have made some money though admittedly I would have been a lot better off going long. To say that one can't make money shorting goog is as stupid...

Stock 777 you are up hundreds on Goog and you are sulking?! I complimented you on your skill and you bitch and about a small profit I made going short?! Guess you know what you can do with those Goog gains:therapy! Try and have a Merry Christmas, even if its only for the sake of those around you.

FWIW I am entering middle age and have a net worth that is obviously greater than 90% of the people I know who have MBA's (No MBA flunked out of 2nd tier law school) and of those that I know who have MBA's probably a good 75% come from top tier schools. I have been a trader and entrepreneur for...

Kudos to you Stock for having the sense and fortitude to ride goog up, wish I had. I was one of those who shorted it based on the lock up and post earnings earlier this year and made 36 points in a matter of weeks (not that I was arguing valuation mind you) but was met with your ridicule none...

This year it has to be going long OSTK Leaps(calls), closely followed by selling a major gold futures position at $475 after riding it up from $423 and only putting on 30% of a full position on PFE when it was under $21 (had intended to ease in to a triple position in Dec and take advantage of...

Looking to park some trading and RE profits for 1-2 years and PFE looks like it might be a good vehicle. Any thoughts on PFE?

PFE seems like a great value here.

Blue you must not have been paying attention to L2 on OSTK, this was no ordinary gunning of a stock, this was panic buying of the type rarely seen.

Worth every second of the wait and finally back in the black on the trade, a beautiful day for those who have kept the faith. Thanks again FlyT for keeping us informed.

I haven't been watching it that closely the last few weeks but the one thing that has remained fairly consistent for a few months now is that it takes very little volume to move the stock a significant amount (which implies that the float of shares being traded is as tight as PB has been...

Grow up girls Hedge, your lack of an intelligent contribution will not be missed.

So they can't keep their own house in order and the rest of the world has to pay for it, nice.

Thanks for keeping us informed FlyTiger but while I still have my 06 calls (more or less accepted the loss on them at this point and cashed in some puts that helped offset them a little) I can't help feeling that these naked shorts are like Rove in that they have some escape hatch that they can...

Earnings next year look like they will be pretty poor with little or no growth. The question is can the players manage a year end rally so they can get out of their positions at a decent price or are they all going to have to liquidate on mass once the rally doesn't materialize. So far it looks...

Blue, would you play monopoly against a guy who has free access to the bank? Ofcourse not, what would be the point. This is the situation we have with naked shorting except that it has real life ramifications for the survival of these naked shorted companies. It crushes them, hampers their...

Taxes should be voluntary like PBS. Then we will get the government we really want and deserve.
