i don't typically like giving advice, but there's a lead for you guys to follow-up and research on


also...if anybody (approx 5-7 ppl) wanted to form like a little discussion/research group hit me up.

i've been wanting to get a few buddies together for awhile to cover more ground in investment research since there's only so much any one of us can do on our own...especially if you work and such. anyhow, most of my buddies couldn't be bothered to get into learning about stocks and the markets.
still interested in finding ppl who'd wanna research shit and make some money since it'll be a prime time to make some key buys

thing is even if you did DD on a certain company and you see it going to have a good upside.

You'd still feel the pain of losing either all your gains and some of your investment or your investment in general. a lot of people aren't serious trader, buy and keep for a while. thats why they feel the pain more then day traders.

that being said: most day trader i know usually have huge position on 1-5 stocks they feel it's going big and rarely do they sell off all to cut loses.

BMK took a huge hit with their pR today lol.. they drilled and found nothing. Stock dropped 30%. Glad I didn't buy.

GSPG looking for drlil results by EOM. I read that some dude bought 11% of the company recently.

What is ABK all about? They are having a conference call tomorrow. Stock has taken huge hits over the last week. Oh Ambac lol they are all screwed.

Man I hope the markets don't get raped tomorrow morning. fakk I gotta feeling things won't be in the green for a couple days.

This is the time when I am glad that I did not invest a single penny in the stock market.

yup...after their stock started declining, i paid interest to them and started doing my homework/research. i think as it stands, their shares dropped about 90%

i'm working until 5 but you can drop me a PM if you'd like more info.

Taking a look at APPL 6 month chart, do you guys think now is a relatively good time to buy despite the overall market conditions?

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=AAPL...=on&z=m&q=l&c=

Share prices are going to go so low that investors will have to buy because the share prices are going to be huge bargains. Then the markets will shoot back up.

Does anyone think that? when this happens is anyones guess. Just a thought.

Good thing I took my loss at $176 on Apple. If not, I am toast since I am using my margin account as well!!

But I would say, but Apple in March or something like that. Stocks may rebound in the second half of the year.

I don't think Apple will have the same explosive earning anymore, since I don't even like their new ipod or Macbook Air. . .

I'll wait it out til the end of the month, if the feds dont cut another .50 basis pts next week, the market is going to a bigger shitter than it already is in. I got out of AAPL in the 170s and looking to buy some cheap feb calls :P

I'm staying away for now. It's projected that if their is a recession in the US then Apple's earnings are going to go down. Therefore their share prices will likely fall as well.
