for those of you who still like dabbling in pink sheets, besides my NLST that I have been holding, I have also been interested in CHDT

7/10/2006 3:04:59 PM

haha I bit my lip and bought a bunch at .12 and now the words gotten out

this is another good hurricane play

as always, do your research

7/10/2006 3:25:54 PM

I'd buy some chdt if my sharebuilder account would let me...

7/10/2006 3:34:38 PM

wtf happened to PEIX today? i figured with the high oil prices this stock would be doing well.

7/10/2006 3:35:41 PM

well, people are a little cautious over the recent market correction

and also, PEIX has a good future, but they are still constructing their plants, so they don't have alot of earnings or products being sold. that being said, once the plants come on line and start to produce ethanol, it should be a great long term hold. Im waiting for it to dip a tad bit before I buy again.

7/10/2006 4:00:31 PM

how long are you planning to hold onto CHDT?

7/10/2006 4:03:00 PM

Im not sure, but its a hurricane play so if I keep it long, its probably getting sold in early September along with my NLST. It has held up remarkably even though we have only had one tropical storm. Seems like everyone is in for a long hold. I got into NLST at 0.19 and 0.23 and its at 0.48 now. I am wondering where the CHDT will go with all this, they arent a biotech and dont need approvals, so they are selling stuff and making real money. Their last quarter they had a EPS of -0.001 and they will certainly be in the green this year. That and they are already on the NASDAQ OB system, which means they have already filed all their SEC stuff and are reporting, which is a great step compared to trading on the pink sheets, so they are ahead of NLST in that respect. It was nice to make a few hundred dollars in an hour and a half too.

so everyone uses scottrade? you cant really beat $7 trades can u?

7/11/2006 10:03:58 AM

I use Yahoo Market Tracker, Yahoo Finance has really good resources for doing your stock research

7/11/2006 11:25:15 AM

I use scottrade since I was being charged inactivity fees by tdwaterhouse although I have the majority of my funds with UBS.

7/11/2006 11:32:59 AM

I started with Ameritrade a few years ago

But now I have ETrade and Scottrade accounts

7/11/2006 12:16:38 PM

CHDT 30% return since I bought yesterday

7/11/2006 3:41:53 PM

i have a love-pain relationship with Chinese stocks

7/11/2006 4:12:52 PM

I only see their generator and roofing materials sales increasing

7/11/2006 4:26:06 PM

you can beat 7$ trades with 1$ trades.

7/11/2006 4:35:59 PM

...I'll trade you $1 for $7.

7/12/2006 12:24:45 AM

I wonder where Robert Digital has been :/

7/12/2006 9:44:14 AM

sitting in a corner kicking myself for not placing market order to sell 350 shares of CSCO last week while we were at $19.80 instead of being a dumbass and doing a $20 limit order.

7/12/2006 9:58:58 AM

Yeah that sucks.

I did the same thing w/a buy yesterday. Of course I put my limit in at current price, which just happened to be the low of the day and it started going up before my order was filled, and my order stayed unfilled while the NUAN jumped 5%. oh well.

7/12/2006 12:31:55 PM

^^could you not have removed your limit order once it hit say 19.50, and then just do a market order?

7/12/2006 1:31:06 PM

BTW I now am up 70% on CHDT since Monday at 2 PM

7/12/2006 1:35:49 PM

I am wondering why TIE is dropping recently...

Anyone have experience with TradeKing? 4.95 p/trade

yep, I could have.

but did i? Nope. I assumed that we were in the same pattern we've been in for the last three months, where we'd swing between the low 19s and 20 1/2. Now, i'm just gonna hold onto it for a while. Don't really need the cash right now.

"I am wondering why TIE is dropping recently..."

It looks like TIE's stock price is moving with the metal's market, whereas it previously was moving above it. I think part of TIE's recent hit is due to Alcoa's results a couple of days ago. Alcoa had a record quarter (Revenues up 19% but missed expectations by 2%+ ($18M on $8B))

Secondly, a very large chunk of TIE's revenue stream is directly tied to Boeing, as they are putting as much Titanium into their planes as they can. A couple of important points -- there is no competitor to Boeing’s 787: Airbus is so screwed up, customers are all going to Boeing. And this is not a matter of AMD vs. Intel. There is no plane offered by Airbus that begins to compete with the 787. Also, Major new customers like India, Dubai, and China are buying fleets of planes.

isn't your company's stock going to head up with all the IPv6 implementation that's around the corner?

7/12/2006 2:17:18 PM

I don't think i can comment on that. I probably don't have anything that would be considered insider info, but i'll play it safe.

Based on the fundamentals (earnings, growth, etc.) there's no reason we shouldn't be a $40 stock. But the market is too wary of the tech sector, and with juniper, nortel, and Lucent sucking it up, we're getting brought down along with the rest of 'em.

I hear ya. I wasn't probing for such knowledge, just airing some probably misinformed tidbit I read somwhere

7/12/2006 2:29:50 PM

This much I can say-- large scale IPv6 deployment is still years away.

7/12/2006 2:32:09 PM

Sounds like a great time to get in early, then.

7/12/2006 2:56:24 PM

i sold all my cisco shares just under 22. it was up there around may. csco runs in the 18-22 range . sometimes it'll pop or dip around those levels if you watch it close enough. definately not worth my time anymore

7/13/2006 1:57:22 PM

might be a good time to go with PEIX, down 6.2 percent with this israel bullshit. Should comeback strong.

7/13/2006 3:11:02 PM

EtOH is just a buzzword right now and it is going to remin highly volitile while a complete and total lack of distribution exists and increased debate over alternative other sources for alternative energy such as soybean biodiesel.

7/13/2006 3:20:45 PM

I sold most of my pennies, I noticed that some of them had lost momentum

NLST will be good but in the short term the statistical indicators are downward

CHDT will be good too, but huge gains are news driven, and once those gains stop it goes down for awhile so I didnt want to be caught holding the bag.

7/13/2006 3:48:06 PM

Wow, what an ugly day

76% of of all NASDAQ securities are declining

glad I pulled most of my stuff out

Its sad when penny stocks and microcaps are safer investments

why?

buy low, sell high

remember its business, don't get emotionally attached to stocks

7/14/2006 11:53:27 AM

i'm not, i'm taking transaction costs into consideration

7/14/2006 11:57:05 AM

when i was in the summer before my 11th grade year in highschool, i had a person tell me to never sell my stocks, that eventually they always go back up...i'm guessing she meant in the long run but still

7/14/2006 11:57:30 AM

There is a lot of hype surrounding Intels newest chip, seems like now would be a time to get in for a little and the stock should move up a little after all the orders for this thing start hitting the books. With Vista coming then it seems like we might see a new round of PC buying, with Intel positioned perfectly with these new cpus.

7/14/2006 12:15:21 PM

^ Intel is continuing to lose market share, and even news of a new product might get lost in all the news from the middle east. I would do some serious research, and remember that the impact of new products might not even be felt untill 2 or 3 quarters later. 4th quarter of 2006 results should be nice after a prolonged Christmas buying season.

^^Yeah, but when there is such a dismal outlook

most stocks are declining
interest rates continue to rise
oil costs have big impacts on many industries
geopolitical concerns making the markets skittish worldwide
the real estate market is having a considerable correction

its an abosolute frenzy

Not selling is a good idea in the short term (a few days in duration) but in a long term sustained downturn in the market like we have here, its stupid to try and wait it out. To make money you have to take profits. And thats what professional traders do. I guarantee you that no professional trader is going to keep a buch of money in this terrible market over the weekend when more events in Lebanon will drive the market further down on Monday unless they are shorting it down, which seems to be the only safe bet.

Stocks will cycle from their 52 week highs and lows. I would take their advice with a grain of salt, as they are probably not as good of a trader as I am. People like that probably rode SIRI down from $7+ and TIE down from $45+. Believe me, I lost alot of money following dumb advice like that in the past. Let the market bottom out, there are alot of excellent companies that will get severely devalued and you can buy those back and make great cash.

2 Questions:

1) Whats some good books to learn about investing? I've been playing around for about 6 months but need to learn more. Is Cramers book any good? What are some others?

2) Considering the shitty state of the market, climbing interest rates, record oil prices and our current war filled international climate, whats some good mutual funds to get into? Funds that respond favorably to some of the above conditions. I'm not looking for a particular fund, but rather a category of funds like International Small Cap or something like that. Anyone have any info?

7/14/2006 12:32:45 PM

I don't post here much, but I'm not retarded

The talk surrounding the new chip isn't going to do anything. But once Intel starts reporting great numbers because people have jumped back on board because the new chips are just sick, the stock should move up.

7/14/2006 12:36:36 PM

MSNBC says that floor traders are wary of even buying on the dips. A cease fire in Lebanon would help rally the stocks, but the continued attacks seem to make that possibility more remote. People are looking into bonds and currency as a safe haven.



Good book, but don't buy anything he recommends on his show. They will be volatile for a few days and you will usually get burned.

Mutual funds can also be sketchy. By the time I really began looking at Regional International Mutual Funds, most of the steam had already been taken out of them. Just remember, that by the time something makes it to the mainstream market, it has probably been ridden for the lions share of the gains.

^ yeah gold may also be a safe haven for now


^^ Once INTC starts reporting better numbers, it'll probably be more related to layoffs than sales...
