    Buy low. Sell high.

    The tough part is knowing when it is low and when it is high.

    I hope you didn't buy any AB stock. It took a tumble after his 0 assist game. KL's stock subsequently rose in response to AB's fall. It's getting bullish towards KL. YAO fell hard today after bad news regarding a possible flu concerned the nervous investors. TMAC still in the pink sheets and is hovering around 0.00001.

    Probably not any sort of bad news. Profit taking more than anything. In the long term I still expect it to rise. I have a few shares of C around the 2.70 area so I'm waiting this thing out anyway.

    LOL

    Hey, when you are profit hoarding and eager to make back 50% of your saved assets, .08 is a big deal!

    In fairness to me, it was actually like 20 cents, not 8. :)

    Because a lot of the financials rolled over after monster gains over the past few days. :D Get used to it - especially with stocks priced that cheaply. If you can't take 10-20% swings in those stocks over 1-2 days, you're going to have multiple heart attacks. :)

    <i>Buy Programs</i> kicked in and pushed us higher at the close.

    I had a sell order for SRS (entry 62) at 74.75...can't believe it got filled right before the massive tumble it took. I think the HOD was around 75.

    Attempted to reenter at 65 and had my stop get blown out pretty quickly.

    Pretty sweet execution on SRS. if dow can cross over 7500 then we can possibly see 8300. All the ultras will be at year lows when dow at 8300. time to buy baby

    Any ideas on how much higher AIG will go? I will be getting a pretty hefty sum to play with on Thursday, and I'm trying to figure out if AIG has the potential to double my investment this summer.

    Depends on the U.S. government.

    I know that the idea of going 2X on your investment is intriguing, but the <i>Moon Shot</i> concept doesn't suit me because of the risk involved.

    Looks like IBM may be in talks to acquire Sun Microsystems. That's a huge technology deal for geeks. Sun should rip up at the open (well, actually pre-market).

    Weren't there people saying they were getting into SIRI a few days ago? I think that thing's doubled in the last few days.
