    Sadly, yes. I shouldn't have set a market sell order on Sunday night. I sold for a measly $0.51/share.

    I think I am going to hold C indefinitely. This market makes me sad :(

    Probably a dumb question -- but is GM halted? Or off the board?

    It's trading as GMGMQ.

    Because my gamble with C is the only one that appears to not be paying off in the short run.

    You're sad that the very unhealthy, partially government owned company you bought on a flier without any real reason for its valuation isn't skyrocketing higher? :)

    Absolutely! :)

    At least if it stays alive, I am able to receive acceptable dividends (~4%)

    If they stop paying their employee bonuses, what make you think they'll keep paying dividends? :p

    But really, the more I read about C, the more I wonder if that stock will hit $4 by the next filing.

    Holding AIG still... should I get the hell out? I want to wait for it to get to $2 at least.

    CTIC posted some good news on a new chemo delivery system, so it looks to be doing pretty well. I looked over their poster that they presented yesterday, and I liked what I saw.

    Mozilo charged with insider trading... ol' orange leatherface - I never could stand that guy when he came on on CNBC. He looked the part of a con.

    Crazy rally in last 10 min. The cigar smoking man on top floor of empire state building must be planning a weekend getaway.

    These rallies after intra-day drops have been going on for a few weeks (when there are drops, anyway). From what I understand it's groups such as mutual funds coming in at the end of the day in the hopes of not being left behind on rallies. I thought about adding to my positions on the dip today, but couldn't pull the trigger - too chicken. :)

    I was seriously considering GMGMQ end of last week while it was under a buck. Should have done it.
