GILD, the only money maker for me. In at 74.

Got in on the CNET bounce today. Purchased at 2.22 yesterday around 3, dipped to 2.06 in after hours, sold at 3.05 today

bought some CREE after the big drop at open this morn.

10/2/2014 9:40:00 AM

going to get in to VWR once it opens today

i signed up for robinhood a long time ago and still haven't received an email - i'd love to see $0 trades but it wouldn't change the trades i make

[Edited on October 2, 2014 at 10:21 AM. Reason : .]

10/2/2014 10:19:48 AM

I bought some CREE too. Figured this current slump cannot last forever.

10/3/2014 5:11:55 PM

So who got smoked holding the GTAT bag?

10/6/2014 8:37:25 PM

Damn, I wish I would've known about that tank yesterday...It's already up 60+% over the low.

still tempted to buy a couple hundred shares.

10/7/2014 11:27:36 AM

now up 130%...missed the boat on that one, bummer

10/7/2014 1:52:38 PM

I wanted to buy some GTAT, and I probably would have too if my other stock had not sucked so bad. Sad thing is I still would have lost less money if I had it in GTAT.

10/7/2014 11:06:45 PM

GTAT would have been a huge gamble, but I did think about it too

10/8/2014 1:16:00 AM

uvxy down 16%....bought some calls for next week

10/8/2014 3:58:26 PM

made 90% on those uvxy calls today

thinking of buying some puts today

10/9/2014 2:17:46 PM

just bought FAS and TECL

think shorts will be covered tomorrow

10/9/2014 3:18:37 PM

bought some GTAT this morning....hoping for a buyout

10/10/2014 11:10:35 AM

I guess you hate money?

10/11/2014 9:35:13 AM

^^ Lulz, good luck. What did you buy at?

10/11/2014 11:54:46 AM

There are a few things I want to buy, but I don't know if I want to go any more into stocks in general right now, or wait to see if there's finally a correction to buy in on.

[Edited on October 11, 2014 at 6:09 PM. Reason : Right now we've pulled back about 5%]

10/11/2014 6:08:01 PM

bought at $1....down 50%....well it was a gamble

10/13/2014 10:11:47 AM

nibbled at Whole Foods (WFM) and Cognizant (CTSH) today...I already had positions, so I added to them a little bit.

I didn't want to make any really big stock purchases, but I hated to not buy at least a little on this dip.

10/13/2014 2:20:33 PM

I had a dream the market crashed and lost 50% of its value last night

10/13/2014 2:28:49 PM

Just purchased some Netflix for the ER on the 15th

10/13/2014 3:30:07 PM

Bought some stuff for my dad:

Cognizant (CTSH)
Costco (COST)
Mastercard (MA)
Kinder-Morgan (KMI)

[Edited on October 14, 2014 at 3:35 PM. Reason : I also own all of those except for COST]

10/14/2014 3:35:18 PM

NFLX down 25%

10/15/2014 8:02:36 PM

Yeah, I sold before the ER thankfully. The HBO announcement made me nervous.

10/15/2014 8:37:13 PM

If you'd of had the nuts to purchase a put on NFLX with a strike of $355 today you could have made $35 for every $0.30--assuming it stays at $330 or less until Friday.



[Edited on October 15, 2014 at 9:11 PM. Reason : a]

10/15/2014 9:09:54 PM

^ What if you purchased a Nov $380p four months ago when it was at $430 and then closed it down when it went to $450 a month later

Quote :

"Just purchased some Netflix for the ER on the 15th"

ouch man, buy a call or call spread around any earnings play if your bullish. I don't think anyone would have expected a 20% move in either direction for NFLX. I closed down my above trade because I felt like there's no way it will move more than 10% on any bad news regardless by my expiration and I sure wasn't going to roll it out and pay more for more time. I haven't followed it much the last month but wasn't it trading around $470 at some point in the last 30 days?

Took another little ($1000) bite of MasterCard (MA) today relatively near a low spot.

10/16/2014 9:46:06 PM

Thoughts on Acorns?

I'm considering giving it a try.

Nice week for INO, they are feeding on the ebola frenzy with this latest uptrend. Finally broke that $12 ($3 pre-split) hard resistance level that it's been seeing over the past year...hopefully it will hold for now.

Their ebola vaccine was 100% effective in preclinical animal trials a year or two ago and they put it on the shelf due to there being no demand/chance of profit at the time. The success of INO-3100 this summer validated the platform so there is a lot of promise here. If things get too out of hand, you will likely see these few companies that have vaccines in development start to fast-track them...they will have some abundant access to test dummies.

10/17/2014 5:47:16 PM

prepare for liftoff



[Edited on October 20, 2014 at 9:44 AM. Reason : they were orignially planning for it to start 1H2015]

10/20/2014 9:42:52 AM

I'm trying Acorns after seeing it in this thread. Looked like a good way for me to put a little money in the market with low fees.

10/21/2014 4:49:31 PM

^^I can't look at you the same anymore after your bestiality post.

10/22/2014 11:19:44 AM

BABA finally back up heh

10/22/2014 12:13:47 PM

picked up some GSK and IBM a few days ago on their respective dips.

10/23/2014 11:45:28 AM

I've been thinking aboutGSK

10/23/2014 12:31:05 PM

Put LAKE on my watchlist yesterday and was very close to buying a few hundred shares, but I didn't pull the trigger

For a day, then down it went!

TO NOWHERE


Wasn't it supposed to be over $20 pre-split by now Walter?

10/30/2014 10:43:18 AM

any thoughts on AEZS?

11/5/2014 10:22:15 AM

oops...down 46% right now....good thing i didnt buy any

11/6/2014 10:37:50 AM

gambled on ACHN last week knowing they were about to announce results - paid off this morning

11/10/2014 10:18:52 AM

nice job.

did anyone from the last page still have baba stocks?

11/10/2014 12:09:55 PM

Yep! Just 30 shares though

11/10/2014 12:30:16 PM

yeah 35 left - sold the rest off for a loss of about $300 - made that up with the recent gains

first hour of singles day BABA has already done 2 billion in sales - should drive it up more is my guess

11/10/2014 1:35:19 PM

i originally set a target of 107 but got greedy with all of the momentum it was picking up; couldn't get myself to sell...even today when it's down a little bit.

11/11/2014 11:42:07 AM

I still have the 100 shares I got at $90.40

I didn't intend to hold 'em for more than a day, and actually forgot about it until a couple of weeks ago.

I'm glad i did b/c I probably would have gotten spooked when it started dropping and sold.

With the VIX not too far from 52-week lows, and plenty of land mines out there economically (internationally, at least) and certainly geopolitically, why not buy up some shares of a VIX ETF? Next time any sort of shit is even in danger of hitting a fan, it will spike, and a nice profit can be made.

Obviously there are decay issues, like with a leveraged index tracker, due to the reliance on options...but if the idea is to "set the trap" and spring it once every few months when everyone gets scared and jumpy, is this a bad strategy? I guess what you're up against are the odds that there is such sustained tranquility that you decay nearly as fast as you have opportunities to sell on the spikes, but as long as you're watching the markets and not just holding it long-term without paying much attention, that isn't too likely, right?

[Edited on November 12, 2014 at 9:58 PM. Reason : talking vanilla VIX tracker, not a leveraged VIX tracker like TVIX, etc.]
