CHA...I still have a lot to learn about the market....for me, at this point, it's more entertainment than anything....of course I'm trying to make some money as well.
I was encouraged to get in on the stock.........hopeful for 4-6 buck range by year end...

depeche: About 15 x avg volume for SQNM today and it has made a nice steady move up over the last 2 mos. If I hadn't sworn off biotechs I think that I'd jump on this one w/you.

gvk, huge 2m share buy in the AM. Certainly a big institution buying in. Really feel good about this play. Still a small market cap and moving into an untapped market with prenatal home testing. Very interesting area. What pregnant woman wants to go to the doc for an amnio when simpler, cheaper, safer and more private home testing is available. I think this company is still flying under the radar a bit. I know it's up huge off its lows last year but that's history. It's always way lower than where it flew several years ago after it IPO'd. Their promise is soon to be realized.

why would you be in SQNM when you could be in ILMN(which I called the bottom in back in early April)?
ILMN is proven and has the AFFX garbage behind them.
I haven't given this one much thought due to the fact it's a bottom feeder. What's so great about it?
One insider has bought 60,000 shares since May. Interesting but
still.....on 15x volume, it's overbought IMO due to some technical
indicators I use.

sooth, I'm not a technical guy, I'm in it as an investment for the longer term. If it pulls back in the next week because it's overbought at the moment, I don't care. I'm looking out at least one year and I think Sequenom is very promising.

I dont know..it seems like every 3-5 days they bring up sub
prime lending and bring the market down, then forget about it and race
it higher. There hasnt been follow through selling more than 2 sessions
in a long time..so for me this doesnt count for much...YET..
Earnings just starting though so who knows what could happen.
Notice the real winners arent down much at all..the RIMMs and BIDUs and AMZNs etc..not down much at all..
D2,

Look at growth rates and where GOOG has superiority.
GOOG has the corner on paid search and on technology..
This tells quite a bit
GOOG with 5 times the market cap with only 2X revenues..
What that means is the market thinks the growth rate for GOOG is far superior thus the premium market cap.
Also look at operating margins and net income as a comparision..GOOG is cleaning up on the bottom line and even with a mere 2 to 1 top line number, they are almost 7 to 1 on the bottom line figure.
To me its a no brainer..its either GOOG or nothing..

Why mess with in the week options? Way too much of a momentum thing. Just buy the common of FSLR and enjoy!
There are so many playing options this week, hoping to catch the lightning in a bottle, and that is why these prices all get pinned near the strikes on expiration Friday.
Cheers
WSC-

Congrats on your profitable FSLR July 110 calls. Well in.
BTW, smart move to close them out. Each down tick this coming week will geometrically erode the value of any out of the money call.
I do believe that this stock will move higher in the future due to the high short interest. The shorts will be right in the long run (as they usually are), but unless there is an earnings debacle, a pathetic secondary (this scares me more than anything), or a HUGE terrorist hit to the globe, this one does a hell of a lot of squeezing before it ultimately gets killed.
Yes, for sure, FSLR is a piece of shit a long time from now, but you know as well as I that the short sellers' joy usally only comes after the horrific pain is handled first. It's the way the gambling/stock market gods operate........they don't give the stock gambler one goddamn thing for free......NEVER, EVER.
And the long players will have to deal with the intense negativity and fearsome down-turns for the ride up the ladder.
Ain't easy to deal with this thing, either way. BTW, I haven't looked at Barron's online for this week. I pretty much grew sick of that publication about 10 years ago when they became as predictable as the annual magazines for NFL that pick last year's playoff teams for the upcoming season.
Only "pending" plays for the moment:
Long GTLS
Long FSLR
Cheers
Still long, but what a putrid secondary. Shorts will pile on the wreckage. Can only hope for a vicious squeeze off the earnings.
