Here is another crazy thought..

GOOG hovering around 503 and tomorrow is expiry..who here thinks GOOG closes square at 500 tomorrow?

ME, I do.

The GOOG 510 puts are going for 7 bucks today, if the stock closes at 500 tomorrow then those puts are worth 10 a contract. Of course there is the risk that the stock closes UP for some reason or off the strike, but I just dont think it will happen...too many times I have seen GOOG close at crucial strikes on expiry and I imagine the same tomorrow.

It is TEMPTING to buy some GOOG 510 puts just for tomorrow for the potential of a 50% return.....risky but has potential.

I remember when you pointed that out before.  Market makers ar pretty slick sometimes.  Im thinking of getting a bit of idmi.  I want 1000 shares but kind of like the strategy of buying in pieces.  Gonna shoot for 300 today.  Also, with the POZN what do you think of buying it and selling sept 17.50 calls?  It would be a pretty nice return.

Grinder,

IDMI has really turned into a MUTT in a bad way...ran nicely the last week or two, but this week straight down.

I have my shares and now I sit...

POZN keeps slowly moving up, bullish action, but when it gets closer to August you never know..I have a 25% position so far..

I would be surprised if GOOG drops 5 here, but you never know..it actually might not finish on a strike for once..I think about 85% of the time it does.

Big$$$,

Whats up with the WNBA? I have been losing the last week, need some winners bro.

DEEP has a small range, is that an IPO?

What stocks were you wanting me to comment on again?

If they close GOOG on 500 even on an up day it will confirm my suspicion about what a messed up market this is (which we all know)

Unreal.. Those MMs took the stock to 509 and those options were going for 2 bucks and NOW they are going to close GOOG on 500...what a bunch of crooks.

Thats a 5 bagger just today, even if I nailed it at 6 that would be 4 bucks.

If they close the stock at 500 I am going to buy either 500 or 510 July calls on GOOG...I dont buy this bullsh!t

my new pick

MYL

Mylan Labs....will be buying this morning. fanastic amount of new institutional money coming in on top of very nice insider buying

compared with WPI and BRL (other generics) MYL has a ton fo cash on hand, the stock is much healthier and very cheap

range bound from 18-22 in the last 3 years...20% gain is what i'm looking for

my same old pick
 
gnlb closed at a 52 week high 2.67 on very little news, other than oppco rating as a buy.......i'm waiting to hear that they partner up with a big boy on the lupus drug....than this becomes a quad (at least)

I've only bought or owned one biotech in my life and I don't know that I'll never own another one. Check out this news on NUVO.
 
 
Why is it down 5% this a.m.? I'm not proud of the fact that I bought this dog a couple of mos ago around $5.

wallstreet: I noticed you mentioned HOKU above and see that it is now trading over 7. I  believe it was HI Guy who shorted that stock when it went from around 6 to below 3 last year and commented that he knew some of the company insiders and expected the stock to go to zero. I even made some money on some puts based on his recommendation. I hope he took the profits and didn't ride this one back up.

D2,

I choose to not fade even though 3 of those I question.

GVK, you have a great memory, I bet he is long gone. That contract news if true ensures it dont see zero..lol

D2,

Well you are very capable but the 3 I dont like are-

BLDP
STEM
CEGE

SIMG and OVTI are acting like dog crap in this wacky market, not my favorite technically either.

Ballard has so much promise and never delivers, STEM is years away from making a big move and even with a DEM in office I dont think it goes a great deal higher, I think there are better stem cells out there and CEGE is another touchy sensitive biotech as we discussed here.

Tell me what you LIKE about them, not that you have to prove anything rather I am curious as well.

Your deference is not well placed.  I don't know shit about investing in stocks.  Sports, yes.  Stocks, no.  Just tried to find stocks that are beaten down a bit but show promise and seem to be in good spaces for the future.  This is just basically another form of gambling for me.  Just dabbling.  If I lose I won't go hungry.

Oh, and one that I didn't post I bought a few months back has done quite well.  A company called Hydrogenics (HYGS).  Bought it at the all-time low of .8433, now 1.28.  Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.

D2,

You are smart..go with your gut. I dont know much more than you, in fact I cannot predict any future action of course..just us a stop on the trade and you will be fine.

I know HYGS..thats another high risk stock, a little muddler in the fuel cell arena. Of course I would have said no to that trade too, so what do I know???

Big$$$,

My EFUT was merely an example..I couldnt short that one if I wanted. The float is zippo and shares arent out there, it was a figuritive short, plus my initial "figuritive" short was 31..

$$machine, every single comment I have made about FSLR has been WHEN it pops and I have very loudly said that you DONT GO AGAINST TREND. Thats what I warned you about CRM and AMZN, the trades were wrong the second time because they were going against very strong trends and technically it was the wrong time and I was right.

I still feel FSLR deserves to be a 40 buck stock, but I have never said when..the PE ratio on the stock is extremely out of wack but I am smart enough to know these ratios can be wrong for years! I was a broker during times when fiber optic stocks had metrics even worse than these solar stocks and people lost their shirts going against them, but look NOW..no optic stock (except CSCO) has survived outside reverse splits and 90% corrections.

FSLR will have its day, and when it reverses trend and breaks moving averages and reverses trends I will be there waiting.

Same thing goes with the market in general.
