I do believe AMRN has already bottomed, just my .02
If I'm right, the run up to Dec 20th approval date should be easy 100-400%.

With my morals out of the window..
Who's making money from this war speculation ?
- short play on the us indices or us large caps
- long play on crude oil
Anyone ?

it's def a good time to buy mining stocks.
i bought barrick and potash a few weeks ago. potash got crushed by the cartel breakup but my barrick gains more than cover the potash loss.

CPT is a good buy right now, coal mining, 29 cents a share. Production should be starting soon.

I'm new to the stock game but I just bought some CPT stock to try out. What would be a good price to sell it at from your opinion?

Its only 29 cents so I just bought 200 shares. I wanted to try buying something since I've never used a web broker account before.
I was scrolling down revscene and saw his post and thought what the heck! I'll give it a try.

Pulled this off yahoo... My bear plan... figured it might be useful to someone.
Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bear 3x ETF (SPXS): For those with the highest appetite for risk, besides investors who are willing to short stocks, the SPXS can be considered for heavily leveraged bearish exposure among large cap stocks. SPXS, formerly the Direxion Daily Large Cap Bear 3X fund, seeks daily investment results before fees and expenses of 300% of the inverse of the price performance of the S&P 500 Index. As with other funds, there is no guarantee the fund will meet its stated investment objective and is subject to slippage as described above. The fund also has a higher 1.14% annual expense ratio.
The SPXS management team likes to create short positions by investing at least 80% of its net assets in: futures contracts; options on securities, indices and futures contracts; equity caps, collars and floors; swap agreements; forward contracts; short positions; reverse repurchase agreements; ETFs; and other financial instruments that, in combination, provide leveraged and unleveraged exposure to the S&P 500. Given this approach, in times of market sell-offs, the SPXS will deliver outsized returns. Thus, this fund should be considered by those who seek to profit from panic that could result from a fast sell-off that jolts the market.
SPXS has average daily volume of 3.1 million shares exchanging hands.
Direxion Daily Small Cap Bear 3X Shares (TZA): This is my favorite way to invest in a bear market short term. It is also of the highest risk category given its leveraged nature. TZA management seeks daily investment results of 300% of the inverse of the price performance of the Russell 2000 Index (also known as the small cap index). The Russell 2000 (IWM) measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the United States equity universe and consists of the smallest 2,000 companies in the Russell 3000 Index, representing approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index. It includes approximately 2,000 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership.
TZA actually does not invest in equity securities or stocks. What TZA does is creates short positions by investing at least 80% of its net assets in financial instruments to provide leveraged and unleveraged exposure to the small cap index and the remainder in money market instruments. TZA recently underwent a reverse split, thus it seems to be trading higher than in the past. average daily volume of 6.5 million shares.

Any thoughts on shorting Tesla? Looking at Dec 21 expiration or beyond.
Side note: When I said that I believe AMRN had already bottomed (posted on the 16th of Aug), it closed @ $6.00, today it hit 7.50$ AH. +25%... figured out my Avg @ $7.87 (Lots of averaging down), it's been a long time since I was green on this stock lol.

I think this is a momentum stock. The fundamentals do not support the price at all. As with any stock, timing is everything.
Btw, I sold at ~$25  | |

Have a feeling that the decision to write down/report the huge loss was part of the M&A/disclosure/DD part of the deal :S
