    Is it just me or does Maria Bartiromo sound like a chicken getting stomped on when she gets excited?

    I can't believe I sold BAC after making 20% on it. :(

    I'm looking to see if Jamie Dimon moves the markets any. It popped a bit as he started talking about JPM. JPM itself popped about $1-$1.25 as he started talking.

    Better than losing 20%. I did the same thing for a 42% gain yesterday and am happy with that. I think itwill come back into the low 4's or mid 3's one more time. For now I am sitting on the sidelines watching BAC and DXO.

    Watch TIN, I heard from a friend that they may announce record earnings in the March/April time frame.

    TIN is getting crushed by it's debt load. i would highly doubt they would announce any kind of record earnings with commodities and housing still in the trash can.

    I got in last week at about 6.90. it's at 9.60-something at last count. i think it found its bottom....though it might creep back down again. truthfully, even at 10, i think it's a great buy if you're holding long. if it goes anywhere under 8 again, i'll buy more.

    by the way...since you mentioned Dow...picked up some of it last week at about 7. i'm still under on it, but picking up dow stock at 7 feels like a good buy to me. unless you're always looking to flip quickly.

    question:

    anyone else looking at sirius??

    it's under $.20/share. that's a sink or swim price. that's the kind of stock i'd buy to hold on to in the short term just to ride up to a few dollars.

    any thoughts??

    my friend has been talking about it for 6 weeks now. It was around 8 cents I think when he mentioned it. Then it sat around 12 forever, up to 17 and back to 12.. now I feel like I should have listened. But I'm not willing to go in now after I saw it spike to 17 cents and fall back after that last time.

    Ha! I have been eyeing GE and DOW for about three weeks. I have not made any moves yet, but I think I might on the next big drop.

    so we made it through 741. does that mean we're going higher or is 743 not enough to say we actually broke through.

    Another ratings downgrade on AI... GE would be the cause of another big market drop.
