If you do that get out within a day or two. Those things rise really quickly then fall just as fast in value.

IPO usually will hit their max than drop off within several days.

s2k_335i · 06-13-2011, 04:10 PM

Have you seen Linkedin stock price? It's $75 right now. I wonder if this worth the investment.

So after having an AMAZING past 12 months trading, in the last month I've lost 25-30% of my holdings

I think it's time to pull out re-evaluate and start researching FML!

I made over $40k in 2010. Now I've lost $30k!

Morgan Stanley did pretty well today. I'll probably sell tomorrow or Wednesday. I'm not going to be wanting anything long term because it's riskier, and I'm on margin.

NYCGP · 06-13-2011, 05:20 PM

Check out the story about Anonymous... I would be careful messing with financials come tomorrow. Very good chance they will be under serious attack tomorrow.

s2k_335i · 06-14-2011, 12:16 AM

Seem like all the gains from last year start to vanish from everyone portfolio. I do not see any stock that are for long term at this current market. I thought Ford was going to do well but the it's been down hill since December.

AngelinIsRich08 · 06-14-2011, 12:50 AM

I think that I'll always buy puts whenever I go long on things like CSCO and SLV. I'm young and will be doing this for many years so I don't beat myself over for the losses I'm taking right now. I'm not taking any of my money out and neither will I sell. Eventually the stocks will go back up and I'll be happy. I'm glad I'm losing money TBH, it teaches me far more about the markets than when I'm making money. The phrase, "learn from your mistakes" has never been truer.

this is what i've been pondering. everyone's comparing its IPO to LNKD. Do I think it's going to double on the first day? not at all. I very well could see a 15-20% gain on the first day though (though I'm nowhere near as seasoned in the markets/research as most of you).

mact3333 · 06-14-2011, 10:22 AM

trend day looking likely....50% chance the int term low is in...took long positions this am.

getting close to a bottom...whenever we dip on the % of stocks trading below the 50dma has always marked a IT bottom.

LinkedIn seems overvalued to me. They just don't have have the income stream to support the stock price. Looks like it's done nothing but fall off since the IPO came out.

AngelinIsRich08 · 06-14-2011, 11:48 AM

Wow. CSCO is trading at $14.99. What, is this going into penny stock status? WTF. I'm at a $300 profit on aapl. Should I just get out and forget about it? Its on margin anyway.

if it's on margin, you're not at $300 profit. just saying

Fun day on the market. Did anyone else enjoy the massive pop on LO today?

AngelinIsRich08 · 06-14-2011, 05:57 PM

Were there any big sell-offs at the end of the trading session today?

AngelinIsRich08 · 06-15-2011, 11:00 AM

Pandora (P) shares are up 31%. I'm wondering if it's possible to buy shares before this large initial jump. I'll do that whenever Groupon releases its IPO (when I don't know). And the sell-offs are lowering the markets the morning.

Dr. G · 06-15-2011, 03:29 PM

Yesterdays success has been destroyed by todays failures

FML, I think I need to stop being stubborn and start selling. No point losing money when your trading on margin.

Pandora fell off (to about 10%, down from the initial 31) throughout the day, but I still got a few shares near the end, around $18. Hoping it pays off.

AngelinIsRich08 · 06-15-2011, 05:28 PM

Is it possible to have bought Pandora yesterday or even right as the markets opened? I want to do this with Groupon (GRPN)

AngelinIsRich08 · 06-15-2011, 06:07 PM

Apparently the dollar is up so this may cause silver to drop. Puts anyone?

mact3333 · 06-16-2011, 02:58 PM

flush out today on good volume...the type of action you need to see to make a bottom...bearish sentiment very high...my 1240-1250 target hit to downside...75% long now...now we wait.
