Thiel had a $7bln fund and took it down to essentially zero (except for his own money) after a couple years of wipeout losses. A classic case of wanting to be right vs. making money. So I wouldn't take his trading positions as dispositive (always wanted to use that word - probably got it wrong).

Haven't watched tv in over a year (16 months actually). Find that when I do watch tv at somebody else's house, I start to get twitchy and want to open some other browser windows, turn on music, etc. But seriously, TV is a waste.

Pick #3: MALL to $8. Tangible book at $8. http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=MALL&p=W&yr=2&mn=0&dy=0&id=p27220809842 Compare with competitor PCCC, historic low ratio http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=MALL:PCCC&p=W&yr=3&mn=0&dy=0&id=p68652270816

Probably just the preferred holders locking in a profit.

I think I'm going to regret calling this the "sure thing" thread. There isn't going to be much slack from posters if a sure thing misses. Sure thing #2: SCMR at $14.57 http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=SCMR&p=W&yr=1&mn=0&dy=0&id=p22810809136 You all remember Sycamore. Anyway, it...

I think in most cases like this the DOJ or SEC or CFTC don't go through with the prosecution because it would make the regulators look bad. Why wasn't Lehman or the Lehman officers prosecuted? Because the regulators were on site, looking at the books, approving the shady deals. They would have...

I think that's the problem. He is said to be broke or very close. He put a ton of money into running for office and then into MFG right before the implosion.

This belongs in order execution, but I see this all the time.

Agreed which is why people talking about Herbalife as if it is doing something wrong is so tiresome. HLF has been in business forever, it's a legit business.

I have my money in the MLM industry so I agree with you to a degree. A ponzi scheme eventually runs out of suckers. MLM never seems to run out of suckers, so it is a sustainable business. But it is undeniable that much of the inventory is not sold to consumers but to the distributors, who may...

Now up $9. I will stop hyping this sure thing after this post, but this sure thing was delivered as advertized. I should be charging for this.

BTH up $7 in premarket on announcement of protein shake IPO.

http://whalewisdom.com/filer/nsb-advisors-llc From $1363mm to $508m, a 63% shellacking. Some of that is redemptions obviously, but much of that is just losses.

This is the thread for sure thing stock trades. Sure things only, please. First sure thing: Blythe Industries (not to be confused with Bluth Industries from Arrested Dev.) http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=BTH&p=W&yr=1&mn=0&dy=0&id=p51713439061 The stock is in the MLM industry ie...

Another critic totally disarmed, his mouth open, pointing and spluttering.

Fake lobster meat, $3.34/pound. http://www.shoprite.com/pd/Louis-Kemp/Imitation-Lobster-Meat-Chunk-Style/8-oz/079296902480/

I think you mean "would you wanna be long bonds here." No there's obviously a floor to the bond rally. Probably not bad advice on the mortgage either.

Glad to hear it, Oldtime. Because nothing says "secure financial future" than trading multiple forex positions at once.

We're already experiencing deflation, or at least something very close. Not a prediction.

Oldtime are you going to kick me off my own thread again? That was funny. Sort of like you charging me with irritability. Shouldn't you be trading the latest pips in the USD/EUR?
