Going Short FNM about FNM 09/03/08
The upswing looks exhausted. Downside target depends, but should be significant. However, since the position won't be closed out at target, even if a target is set, it reduces the benef

No Longer Able To Post New Picks 09/05/08
Looks like I am no longer able to post new picks. Is there a new link for this? Or has someone experienced something similar? Any insight?

My Thoughts After Using SP Several Days 09/03/08
My Thoughts After Using SocialPicks Several Days 1. The inability to see a position closed automatically at a target price set earlier is a drawback. I hate monitoring stocks. In real world you can put a limit order to close, but not in SP. 2. There appears to be a limit (small number) on how many picks you can enter. I've at least 2 more picks but I cannot enter them. As a result,...

An FAQ or User Guide would be very helpful.

Is Recommendation Automatically Closed At Target? 09/02/08
Hi, I'm new here, having joined Social Picks on Thursday night (Aug 28, 2008). If I make a pick and also immediately put a target price, I assume that the pick will be automatically closed out if and when the target price is reached. Is that the case here at SocialPicks? The reason for putting a target price is so that the recommendation/pick will be closed automatically if the targe...

Is Position Automatically Closesd At Target? 09/02/08
Is Position Automatically Closesd At Target? I am fairly new to Social Picks and here's a question to management and the veterans here. If a target price is entered for a particular stock and that target is later met, is the recommendation automatically closed at the preset target price? Thanks

Re: FRE Headed $1 09/02/08
ayoung1230: Your idealism is admired. But if you know or expect a stock going down, it would be irresponsible to tell people to buy it, since that would lead to losses by the buyers. If you want to help someone, you tell him/her what will most likely to happen, so he/she can act accordingly. Be faithful to truth because it liberates and empowers. Honesty is the best policy. As for short s...

Re: What's This"Open" and "Closed" Feature 08/31/08
OK, I figured it out shortly after I posed the question.

What's This"Open" and "Closed" Feature 08/31/08
Does anyone know what the clickable toggle states, "Open" and "Closed" mean? I went through FAQ but it was not discussed there. I just joined this site on 8-28-2008. Any User Guide link for SocialPicks.Com? Thanks in advance.

Re: 08/30/08
Another alternative is to make the playing field more level. The key is information, knowledge and know-how. The public has been at a disadvantage, in terms of competitiveness. So, the individual investor needs more objective guidance, not hype, be it investment in stocks or real estate. The middle and lower income classes are the ones that need good guidance the most. Otherwise, ov...

Re: FRE Headed $1 08/30/08
Thanks for all the comments. I think the government may bail out FNM shareholders, but less likely FRE. Policy decisions can change overnight and we'll be the last to know (from the news). But I guess FRE and FNM shareholders will get some token residual value in the end, somewhere in the $2 to $4 range is my best estimate at this point, with FRE significantly less than FNM.
