April Stock Talk

 Your comments on WRE reflect what I like about them:the seat of the federal government will always seemingly be immune from Main Street worries. DC prospers no matter the condition of the rest of the country.

Oill on a tear today,the question is, is this not completely at odds with gain in the markets?? As a poplulation, we are in for it at the pump and the grocers, and the prices now hardly begin to reflect the price of diesel,which will be over $4 soon IMO.

Gunners,

Good idea on the thread!

I am long DRYS calls and stock as you know, let me know if you make a move.

Gunners,

Those same options a week ago were even cheaper.

Stock behaving well..I could use another 3 pts by Friday..

Gunners,

SPWR makes me sick..stock was 55 less than a month ago.

Anyone comment on TSL as a play?

Vermeer,

Trina is a good name but based on performance I would probably lean to another player.

Check a few of these out-

TSL/STP
TSL/FSLR

TSL/SPWR

TSL is one of the dogs of the group..I would look at performance versus share price if I wanted to own a solar.

Got kind of luck and unlucky on drys.  Sold my 70's today for a loss (paid 6.50 originally) but it looked like they would go worthless for awhile.  Tried to buy the 70's for june but didn't fill.  Too chicken to let them ride 2 more days.  Gonna sell 15 calls on imb 5's for may probably and let 1000 share ride (2500 total).    

 Thanks wall...showed up on a screen I was doing, gotta go back over the solars. Always been too afraid of the p/e ...I do recall thinking STP looked most reasonable to me when I looked over the group.

 I meant to add this to April's thread not March...

Grinder,

You and those CCs...haha

I think DRYS will be up tomorrow too, I would LOVE another 4 pts, that would make me quite happy but in reality I think what happens is tomorrow the market opens nice and ends crappy, and DRYS does the same. I am going to be watching closely at the open.

IMB is a long term gamble, one I am willing to take..no CCs for me..I dont want to get locked up to make a percentage, I either want it all or I want to get out and not worry about creating a short call...

 ACC,

So what did you do with the April 15s? They arent going to pay off..stock did pretty much what I thought and given the fact they missed the big part of the pay day, I am surprised it even went that high.

The real added value for the product isnt that great. I loved how the write up about Trexima compared the combined product to the individual components..pretty lame actually.

I think I am going to buy some GE. I would buy more if that old fool Welch would just shut up.

CROX is showing nice action this a.m. As posted earlier this wk, I think it will see 14 again by the start of summer and picked up some June 7.50 calls for 3.30 to back up my opinion.

 

GVK,

I hope it works out..if the stock hits 14 you would double or better.

 What do you think of the chances that the Fed does NOT cut again are? I think everyone assumes another cut in the works.At what point do they give it a rest?

From the Fool....

Yeah -- we've all heard how bad it is in the financial sector. That still doesn't make it a good idea to throw more cash at companies and hope that this time they'll be responsible enough to handle it.

Blowing bubbles
There is absolutely no way this will end well. The Central Bank's rates are far below what any sane private lender would require. As a result, these companies may get addicted to the Fed's funding and thus be unable to go it alone again. As a result, this "temporary emergency measure" could easily become a "standard part of doing business," with taxpayers shouldering the costs of failure.

In other words, these quick fixes are both delaying the inevitable and risking public money.

Stop the madness
We don't know exactly when that next bubble will fully inflate or when it will collapse. As long as the first response to any financial stress is a quick infusion of cheap money, the formation of the next bubble is a virtual certainty.

The recession that the Federal Reserve is trying to prevent may be painful to live through. Unfortunately, the other alternatives at this point appear to be either a largely worthless currency or a Japan-style decade of economic stagnation. With options like that, the short-term dislocations from a recession don't seem nearly as bad, especially given the welcome benefits that come in their wake.

Pick your poison. We're at a critical crossroads, and history has shown that too much cheap money can quickly become very expensive.

GOOG up 40 pts already..

I didnt even think about it, but the GOOG 480s look like a 5 bagger, the 490s similar.



At this rate they could run it to 520 tomorrow..

The 500 calls were 1 buck today btw..

Now 510

500 gamble calls a 10 bagger.

Scrap that..

The 500s were 55 cents, and at 520 that is a 40 bagger.

Now at 530 up 80 points and climbing.

Check out the gamblers-

16k contracts traded, people are going to get PAID tomorrow.

At 530 that 55 buck contract is worth 3k. 1k in is 50k out plus.

 Ah the road NOT taken sheesh....
