mcwop23 don't the smart people that make a living doing things like valuing fannie mae already know these things

[gentleman]

mcwop23 don't the smart people that make a living doing things like valuing fannie mae already know these things

I don't know anything about anything except how to figure out if rents exceed expenses

[Gehrig Industries]

Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in your first half hour at the table, then you are the sucker.

I am wondering if now is the time to buy into ZNGA?

I had bought like 50 shares initially just for fun and it went from like 9>12 but is now back to 8.24

i have a pretty good amount to invest right now and am looking at the 6-12 mo time frame

[ecto]

i wouldn't

zynga is losing users rapidly across the board. they bought OMGPOP and lost 1/3 of draw something users in a month and gehrig made it awfully clear in the other thread that their future in online poker is questionable at best. if you wanted to invest in one thing right now, would zynga be it? (no)

[medicore bob dole gimmick]

yeah i suppose not. seems like they are pretty ubiquitous though. i will probably ride out my 50 shares.

i wish I had bought VRTX yesterday - new therapy for cystic fibrosis. still early data but potential to become standard of care in CF. I actually bought today despite the price hike.

This shit is all a result of being bored at work and waiting on house offers to be accepted/rejected

All I have is time

[ecto]

the vertex news is huge. my cousin has CF and this will help him a lot

[ecto]

vertex stacking it again.

really bizarre day in the market. my dogshit lottery tickets made me some cash

[gentleman]

the russell is outperforming...very good sign. nice reversal too. *could* be putting in a bottom. negative divergence between the low in the S&P and the NYMO.

[Boo]

dudes like ecto and gman, do you do this for fun/hobby or for living?

[mcwop23]

ARNA up big for the day and up early pre market

[Albus]

Was that the ecto tip?

[ecto]

gman does it professionaly. i hope to eventually

and yes, ARNA was my tip

[Totally]

DNB down $12/share woof.

[ecto]

TOTES MY FUCCIN DOOD WHERE U BEEN

[gentleman]

totes only comes out after sell in may and go away.

he's like the marc faber of the stock thread.

LPSN earnings were ok...nothing that harmed the stock nor propelled it higher. i believe it gets acquired in the future though.

generally, i will say that earnings have not been spectacular save a few companies that i follow. when stocks dont react well to earnings, you get the sense that we could be in for a rocky summer.

[ecto]

the AAPDAQ in a nutshell

[gentleman]

im actually up quite nicely today...sold positions in TNGO for a 9%ish gain.

[ecto]

selling out of the ARNA in my ira at a 55% gain. leaving it in my ameritrade for the gamble

[gentleman]

good move and congratulations...very toppy here.

[ecto]

fucking cisco. probably one of my most aggrivating investments. but this is probably worse for the tech outlook in general

[ecto]

lorcaserin looking good through 3 panel questions. your friend may make some great bank today wop

[ecto]

APPROVED! final vote 18 yes, 4 no, 1 abstain

why do you own a stock that is going to be growing at single digits for years? it's not a bellwether for all of tech...just hardware.

[ecto]

APPROVED! final vote 18 yes, 4 no, 1 abstain

+90%

[ecto]

lorcaserin looking good through 3 panel questions. your friend may make some great bank today wop

at this very moment should've moved back into OREX, +20% on ARNA's news. most obvious play of all time and i didn't make it.

oh well, great day today. ARNA and XNPT (+10%) netted me a good chunk
