View All > Opinion & Analysis Picking an entry point   about GOOG   09/20/08 My bet is that the market has set a short term bottom and Goog seems to be a good play at least through the next 6 weeks and so I will start my SocialPicks position at this point.

Re: Picking an entry point 09/24/08
traderdrew - I agree. Honestly that is why SocialPicks is so different than real purchasing and real investing. Ironically, I try to keep SocialPicks consistent with my real purchases but in reality I'm basically all cash and when my picks flipped, I closed them out quickly to preserve capital. I keep trying to come up with some way to have this site match my real trading practices but the...

Re: Ready to run 09/02/08
Just a note to say that if oil continues to fall off the map, this one will follow that price in the short term. Big loss today with the $7 dollar move in oil. Long term, I still believe in the company. I guess this one goes into a longer term hold position.

Re: Same view - different rating 08/14/08
Honestly I agree with your entry comment. I probably will not be in and out of this particular stock very often. It is more of quick pause until the market gains some traction before placing the POS play. In the SocialPicks world, I don't have any money in yet and so I can attempt to time the entry with the broader market. That said, if we can get through the 50 day moving ave on the ...

Re: DE Entry 08/13/08
Earnings Update: Earnings were a disappointment, but the fundamentals continue to look good in the broader picture. If I wasn't in the stock, I'd wait for an entry, but since I'm in at 68, I'm going to try and sit tight. Hopefully it finds a floor today in the low 60's.

Re: Bullish on SKF ... 08/12/08
Closed this out a day too early. Close on 8/12 is $119.75. I left a negative rating on WB and we will see if that bet ever gets back to even.

Re: Market Fundamentals look bad 08/11/08
Closed out on 8/11 as the market looks to be moving north for the moment.

Re: CHK on pullbacks 07/31/08
Earnings come out at the close today. Always a bit of a gamble but I thought this was a good opportunity for entry. If earning push it higher, I'll try to be patient. If earnings make it fall, I'll likely double my position. Long-term I like this play.

Re: Too Far Up Too Fast 07/31/08
So far I'm wrong over 16% in 6 days. Funny thing is that I feel better about the initial today than I did previously. The floor may be raised to a 12-13 level but I think we will retest something significantly lower before any sustained move up. I added the SKF to my picks for just this reason. Realistically, if you caught 16% in 6 days, you should be running with your profits in this mar...

Re: Neutral on ENER ... 07/28/08
Looking more attractive and will probably move this to a buy prior to earnings on Aug 28th. Missed the purchase prior to the last earnings bump but I expect the positive news to continue. This is my top solar play at the moment. I'm hesitant right now due to market conditions and I think with patience, it might fall another 5% or more to allow a better entry price.
