It's official. I am now a stock guru. Everyone on this thread may now kneel at my feet and bask in my glorious afterglow.

i dont understand afterhours trading. someone explain it to me?

 

[richardycc]

bought some more ARNA at $6.95..anything under $7 is a gift IMHO.

stocks go up, stocks go down. you can't explain that.

 

[Aharami]

I hope I'm not crazy! I just bought some more ARNA. Looking at VVUS, it's PPS kept going up from $19 to $22 to $24 for the next couple days following its Adcom. ARNA might still have some more room to grow

/fingers crossed

thanks for the tip!
looking at my (very limited) trading history, you'd think stocks only go down

well, this past week I can agree....but since I got in the market early 2009 I would have to disagree


I honestly have never figured out after hours trading either...and the other day i was watching a stock that tanked 15% in after hours..but opened 3% up on the close. I don't get it. I forget what stock it was, it was just on tv (so i literally watched it)

 

[rcpratt]

Back in ARNA with all my earnings @$6.22.

 

[Aharami]

i didnt expect such a fade!

 

[JTsyo]

Another day another dip. Luckily, I was planning on holding most of my holdings long. nVidia was the only one I was looking to unload but it seems it'll stay low for another quarter.

SD under $7. USG down about 5%. ABH continueing its fall.

Of the above, I jsut bought SD today. no USG holding. Have had ABH for a long while.

Just some ideas.

 

[Arachnotronic]

Damn! My order for OCZ didn't fill, even though it hit! Ah well, I'll get in on the next pullback.

What do you all think about Intel @ $26.91? I'm thinking it's a bit oversold and could generate a solid few % returns over the week.

 

[Imp]

Getting ugly, don't want to look anymore.

 

[jessieqwert]

I think I'll get in SD too.

I'm short AMZN, LNKD, and BBY. My best returns so far!

Also in DE at $77

Plenty of cash on the sidelines, looking for the right opportunity and right stock...

Just sold half my holdings at a relatively minor loss. It just wasn't moving... which is good and bad. Hoping to plow it into something more volatile and bottoming out in the next few days.

I'll only have one holding then - no risk there.

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

rcprat,

If board, read up on ABH. I'd love to get some thoughts on it beyond my own.

 

[richardycc]

bought some HGSI july 14 calls, have a feeling that GSK will up its offer...

what makes you think that? I have a small position on HGSI also that I've been holding

I have a hunch..or I have a semi-credible source....take your pick.

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

SD now at 6.21. That down 7% today

If it goes under 6 I may add more.

 

[JTsyo]

bah, thought things might actually move up a bit today based on the opening numbers.

Same here, I dumped all of my GE once it hit 19 and am waiting to get back into the market once it does it's semi-annual drop back down to 15.
