    Chill on the insults, man. If you keep posting winners the insults will disappear.

    only to robbie bc robbie's been a jerkoff to me ever since I questioned why he'd short HIMX at $8.50 after it ran up 60% in a matter of days....robbie got on the offensive since then and he's called every trade of mine bad and they all went well.

    robbie is jerkoff who brings out the worst in me

    The ones who boast the most are usually full of ****, but I still listen to the the stocks eddie throws out and some are of decent value. That said he gets everything from seekingalpha.com so you can just go on there and find stuff too. They have some decent commentary on there.

    well i certainly dont randomly pull them out off ass robbie, i sift through tons of articles on seeking alpha and do my own due diligence to find winners, theres thousands of articles on seeking alpha about tons of stocks but oddly enough the 2 i profiled in HIMX and TNXP both went up over 50%.....is it really thanks to seeking alpha or thanks to the effort i put into finding a winner?

    as i've said all along my mother is a neurologist....when TNXP came across as something interesting I showed her the piece and we discussed it bc as a doctor she doesn't really go out looking for the next big biotech stock, she looked into it and said the thing was a success waiting to happen bc of the management and their previous success, which is something most biotechs lack and then the fact the drug in play has already been around for 35 years and they're trying to get it approved at lower dosage than is currently used is why I said she was so bullish

    so yes seeking alpha helps but there are a ton of articles on there don't act like every single article leads you to a winner...

    dude I already told
    you this trade on TNXP is similar to a leap call. you pay a $7 premium per say and it's either $0 or a multiple of that a year from now.
    no need to get overly emotional as if people are bashing you on here.
    actually no need to get emotional on stocks either

    That's great you feel that way but it won't be $0 or $100 the downside is $2-3 and it's not approved and they go back to the drawing board, your analysis is wrong bankruptcy isn't the end game another offering and submitting more trials is the near term downside

    you sound like a kid or a novice trader with your language calling Robbie a jerk off. your point taken. I don't follow pharm stocks. I trade a basket of stocks using options only. so you can get off your high horse with how many winners you've hit. nobody ever talks about the losers. as I said it's just a trade to me. for you it's your ticket out of mediocrity in life.

    I think I actually posted this before in this thread (was it when Cxbby was in a spout with robbie?), but my friend used to work at kershner and knew of robbie. He's legit as it gets for trading and has had access to large volumes of capital. My advice - it'd be good to listen and have some humility.

    When I was starting out trading, I also hit a several big ones in a bull market and sounded/traded just like you eddie. You might have a working strategy, but it's hard to see the academia behind it.

    ok well im not starting out, I have an MBA from Jones @ Rice, so robbie's credentials don't impress me, I can do my own due diligence and he's the one whose lacked humility from the beginning. It's not always about technicals with stocks, robbie shorted HIMX at $8.50 in the middle of a quick 2 week run from $5.70 to $11 and I simply said why would you short something in the middle of a breakout who is now confirmed as a major supplier for google glass and he never left me alone after that. He covered his short in a day and it ran to 11

    perhaps robbie is butthurt bc Im a staunch republican and post my opinions on freeloaders,high taxes,and minimum wage in the DD and he often comments there.

    All I know is robbie started this bc he constantly made smart ass comments to whatever I said after i dared question him bc I asked his reasoning behind shorting a stock that I felt was going significantly higher and was vastly undervalued especially with google now confirmed as a partner and a product,google glass, that could change the world

    crossover, academia isn't always behind everything, does my Rice MBA help me run an ATM network around houston that stands at 44 machines as of today? I make well over 6 figures and use very little if any of my education.....academia isn't always behind success....timing and due diligence is

    Academia in the sense of a reproducible, scientific strategy, with a lot of knowledge/experience behind it. Maybe you have a lot of convincing dd behind your plays, but it comes out sounding like the regurgitation of fluff pieces. Similiar to the GLUU analysis posted before, I can take any company in the space and come up with a good sounding bull argument (articles which always conveniently are bereft of risk factors and bear counterpoints). Almost all the points don't exhibit enough depth to produce a sound analysis of why a business will fail/succeed or why a stock could rise/fall. Zynga had an even better case and it fell off the cliff quickly (somehow all the risks/faults looked so obvious in hindsight, as always).

    I don't want the thread to go off on a long tangent (I can't help myself seeing the freeloader part), but finance is just the creation of markets for people who want more money. Yes, I'm being hypocritical - people need/want money; I need money to live the lifestyle I want. But my philosophy is that financial trading is for almost all cases a freeloader activity. Engineers, teachers, doctors, etc. who apply their mind/ethics in a way that really benefits society, make real contribution.

    and thats why teachers and engineers are the rich ones and traders are the ones who makes $75k/year and under right??? The market dictates their worth....teachers and engineers are compensated bc of their value creation, traders create real value. A buddy of mine is 29 and an energy trader here in houston and took in a $1.4M bonus last christmas......let me know when a teacher or engineer of the same age can do the same

    1.4M bonus is weak. while I worked at a structured finance trading desk, a colleague hit a 30M plus trading bonus. anyhow I enjoyed this back and forth. I will go back to reading about the rockets now

    Should I buy HIMX and TNXP today? I'm not trying to make anything short term. I can hold on for a year or longer no problem. And its basically play money. I just want something that has the potential to skyrocket.

    dont be mad bro.....as for benchmoochie....impressive your colleague made $30M, odd though you didn't divulge your success and subsequent bonus.....clearly nowhere near the $30M the superior trader generated.
