But **I think** it will have a short-term run up to around $27-28ish. It's all depends on the US economy.
I am guessing DOW can take out 14,000 by the end of 2007.
Short-term (2 weeks - 2 months): $27-28+
Sell if BX drops under $24.90

You don't want to be a bagholder and hope it will bounce back up. You will end up losing even MORE! That's one of the rule of trading, "willing to take the lost"!
All want to buy the stock when it is going up, not guessing where's the bottom will be! It's like catching a falling knife.
BX is all hype when it first traded. You don't even have balance sheet to look at! Early investors are traded from what they heard on the news, and don't even bother looking at any numbers at all. I wouldn't buy any stocks that is without balance sheet to look at except I am trading it very short term.
To tell you the truth, up to this moment, I still don't know what's BX's business module.
BX has bounced back from their low at $21ish. If the stock market and economy shows improvement in the next couple months, I am not surprise that BX will climb back up to $30.
My short term target price will be $27-28 and I will set my sell limit $0.50 if it reach $27 so I can always protect my gains.

haha, that's not really my own family business, no suggestion will

isn't going to recover within one or two months

Hey, just wondering if you guys could help me out as a beginner here?..
k well recently i've been coming into more and more money to put forward towards investments, I've been purchasing condo's and rights on asignment with my parents so i've made a chunk of change which i'm reinvesting through them, with help from them
but lately i've been interested in getting more into the general market, for the last couple months i've been watching stock movements though Stockhouse.com just kinda tracking ones of interest, watching things move
but i'm still very much a noob to nearly all aspects of trading, can anyone refer me to some good starter resources?

beside books, spend hours on radio or finance channels everyday
if you are interested in one industry, stay with it, don't jump
around like a bunny. Pick five to six stocks to be your virtual
investment and start learning what news will affect you portfolio.

connections in nprivately traded companies = speculations
you can get a set of textbooks for CFA level 1, that should be good enough for anyone as a startup if you REALLY want to get into stock market
well the books on fixed asset, port.management, valuation and econ.
skip the member ethic shit

Anyone else here in the industry locally besides me?
LOL bet most of u will be shocked to find out not only do I get paid to babysit hot actresses and models but I have a more convential day job in addition to my own private security consulting business.
Mostly play with spec stocks on the venture and pinksheets/otcbb, mostly all oil & gas and local mining co's. Made about 50k this year so far in spending money. Waiting on a few certs to deposit now for some xmas spending & drinking money lol.

If you can get cheap broker fees try playing in small amounts and you'll learn the tricks. But nothing compares with good due diligence. If you believe in your research the share price shouldn't matter to you.
It's also a good time to be in mining stocks. Particularly Canadian  I have my eye on a couple companies that are making headlines the last couple months. I'll pm you the names.

i just got into the stock market, i found it that finance.google.com is really useful, it gives u the update on the news specifically to the stocks that you are watching and you can see the graph how much the news will impact the stock itself. One problem is that you need to be able to have free time constantly while market is running, doesn't matter if it's nasdaq or tsx, all the stocks r running at ET, means that sometimes u need to wake up early when the market opens.
like me, i have igoogle on my homepage, it's really nice free tools to manage ur stocks that you bought, although the stock market on google are lagged for 20 minutes, but you can see the graph on daily basis and it can give u an idea sometimes if the market is gonna go up or it's goin down.
i personally trading w/ waterhouse, which charge you 29 bux everytime u do a trasaction, doesn't matter buy/sell, so if u sell a stock, u need to at least make 58 bux to call it even, waterhouse also provide realtime stock rate, so you can see exactly wat are the prices for each stock, hope this info is helpful to whoever!!

question:
Can I do everything from registering an account to buying stocks all from my computer (online)?
Or do I have to go to say, TD, in person to register an account, do the transactions, etc.?
