An example of "What is that?" 12/31/08
I often explore the outer-reaches; it's how I grow. This stock caught my attention because one of my strategies is to watch for temporary trouble and buy on market sentiment of perceived weakness. I have yet to uncover why this stock had a recent fall. I was researching it this morning while it had a 39% rise this morning over 2 days ago. Materials use is down because of building, so the dr...

Creativity and Intellectual Property 12/31/08
Concerning PDOS/PDOSE, if there is one thing that is not held down by the ebb and flow of the market, it is creativity. Platinum Studios has made great strides in adding to its stable of writers and artists, and the market is making people get more creative, not less. The background on this company is worth investigating, and the price is at an all-time low considering that they are now in ne...

Re: Evergreen Solar scores an upgrade, despite Lehman-related... 09/23/08
Okay, Smarty Pants, you caught us not paying attention, and we missed a great opportunity to double our money here. I have noticed a direct coorelation between oil and solar, especially this one. Oil up, ESLR up. I'm waiting for things to shape up, since my philosophy is that I never have to trade; I get to trade if I see the signs of a shelf to launch from. Keep plugging away; we'll get i...

Re: Look at the shorts 09/23/08
I keep seeing that people are able to look at the number of shorts for a stock, but I can't locate that data. Maybe I'm just new to this game and don't know the ropes. Where do I find this stuff? rt87

Re: Ladies and Gentlemen... let's rebuild it. 06/23/08
I think you have a point, and I would like to continue your glass is half full attitude: Home Depot will sell a zillion widgits to those who have lost everything. Food will pour in, but home repair things will mainly be born by insurance and individuals. HD then also. runningturtle87

Don't stop there. How about EMOT, which is introducing an electric motorcycle. runningturtle87

Re: Some Rules for Surviving a Market Crash 06/22/08
I'm with you. I would cross reference 1 idea. Gold is down 10% since mid-March while ABX and the Juniors are down 25%. Sentiment driven selling has created a great market for stocks in metals while inflation, credit, housing, politics, and unrest have created the perfect storm for gold futures. What created high gold prices was the fear of bad news, and now we have had some. We breathed. ...

Re: Bullish on VOYT ... 06/22/08
Time is the new money. If you can't make faster machines, you make the machines you have faster. In the world of profiting on your experiences, anything that makes moving from one point to the next point easier and less painful is time gained. These guys may be able to move things along faster until we learn to code things in packets that simplify coding. The digital graphic equivalent of a ...

Re: Bearish on MS ... 06/22/08
Beyond even fundamentals, it is going to get down to the people. All of these players need to hold onto their shooters, and they need to play their cards close. How did they do if you take out the losses, which are a one time deal? How could they expand right now? What is the overseas exposure to the backflash of the European wave of financial problems now hitting? If these guys were reall...

Re: Bearish on LEH ... 06/22/08
I really have no right to comment on this stock. I don't follow this end of the market, but I do look at macro-economics, and I wanted to point out that trends tend to kill the larger companies since they have a harder time steering. Once sentiment goes down hill, a move of funds can crush these guys. The market itself has breaks, but no single stock really does; it can go all the way to the...
