V below 78 now.

Reasons to hate the market, stocks that bounce off your stop price yet never go under

7/3/2008 11:22:45 AM

hehe

think apple is low enough to be a buy yet?

7/3/2008 4:17:23 PM

I EAT YOUR PICNIC BASKET

7/3/2008 8:35:34 PM

Well today started off looking like a recovery day, now not so much as things begin to head back into the red

7/7/2008 12:37:55 PM

financials are getting killed

7/7/2008 12:46:29 PM

I'm dying over here.

7/7/2008 1:30:37 PM

only one of my options isn't in the red today.

7/7/2008 1:55:18 PM

hhaa, i called it on yahoo and made 24,000 dollars
to bad its fake money

7/7/2008 2:03:16 PM

So GM is <10 for the first time since 1954.

7/7/2008 2:25:24 PM

buy?

7/7/2008 2:27:14 PM

I'm considering

7/7/2008 2:38:14 PM

It would be hard to convince me to buy anything right now let alone GM until this downward spiral has ended

7/7/2008 3:02:45 PM

GETG

7/7/2008 3:06:40 PM

WTF market?

Holy shit. I sold all of my PCLN at $30 about 2 years ago.

I just noticed that it topped $140 last month.

7/7/2008 3:45:31 PM

OUch.. gotta hate that

7/7/2008 3:56:10 PM

whats your reasoning behind buying GM now? just curious...is it solely because it is beaten up? or do you think they have a strategic advantage?

risk reward ratio seems to be skewed away from reward

7/7/2008 4:52:05 PM

Well...they will be shutting down more plants, laying off more people and prob selling a few brands. I just can't think that it will drop much more, could be way wrong of course.

7/7/2008 4:58:10 PM

beginning to despise popular media and their fear mongering, short-sighted reporting

7/8/2008 6:32:49 AM

Never really hear about a decent day.

7/8/2008 7:59:49 AM

Seems like it has been a while, crossing my fingers that maybe today is that day lol

Eh nvm I already see futures are trading lower so already planning on seeing red again, fuck this shit!

what's been going on with V lately?

7/8/2008 9:17:23 AM

It's been getting beat up with just about everything else?

7/8/2008 9:20:43 AM

Indymac is wrapping up its implosion today.

No longer "well capitalized", forced to exit the mortgage business, laying off half their employees, has been unable to raise any funds.

Stock is down 40% today to $0.39 (from a high last year of $31)

WB, FTBC, and KEY are all probably looking in the mirror right now.

7/8/2008 10:03:15 AM

HK sure has gotten crushed

7/8/2008 10:04:24 AM

yeh, HK and HK options have killed me the past two days.

7/8/2008 10:08:06 AM

Ever felt like just selling everything you have just so that the bleeding will stop? Yeah I feel that way today

7/8/2008 10:11:13 AM

i did that a while back. put in an order for V yesterday and cancelled it. woke up this a.m. and the bloody order went through! i'm so mad.

7/8/2008 10:29:23 AM

Pretty much the past week has turned all my holdings into longs now unless I want to take huge losses and try to find better buying opportunities

7/8/2008 10:31:03 AM

HOLY CRAP

VMW down 28%

7/8/2008 10:34:58 AM

Are you surprised?

7/8/2008 10:43:50 AM

i am

7/8/2008 11:42:59 AM

likewise

7/8/2008 11:47:13 AM

Weakened outlook on earnings, CEO resigning, the general fail of the market right now anyways, seems logical to me

7/8/2008 1:56:05 PM

Seems things are trying to rally a bit here this afternoon, I may somehow find my way back to even for the day.

7/8/2008 2:49:49 PM

For one, did it really make sense that virtualization software was ready for prime time, at least to the level VMW was being valued at? I also remember reading on ars (or somewhere) about some other big time player bringing their virtualization software to market (was it MS? having a hard time finding the report now), and I remember thinking VMW wasn't going to be a darling for too much longer.

7/8/2008 3:00:11 PM

I think that Tyson foods is a good stock to buy right now, as is Coca-Cola

COKE is on a 5 year low, and face it; nobody is going to quit drinking coke so its bound to rebound

and Tyson is a good buy right now because it's in the low and has consistently for the last 5 years almost doubled in september when grocery stores start stocking for Thanksgiving

This logic depends on coke being fairly valued in the first place.

Suppose Coke was surging to new heights, would you automatically think that with as much market penetration as they already have, a surge would have to be followed by a crash?

7/8/2008 4:24:06 PM

anyone think CSCO is a good buy now at $22?

7/9/2008 10:45:19 AM

Eh I was happy when I got out at 27 for a small gain, energy stocks appear to be rebounding today again, good for me but still a long ways to go before Ill be happy.

7/9/2008 11:12:21 AM

these days, you're either long crude or long the broader market

fyi

If you wanna short wind keep an eye on BWEN it tends to make 1-2 dollars swings in a single day.

7/9/2008 3:52:37 PM

FRE down 70% in 3 weeks. FNM down 50% in 3 weeks. This is going to have some repercussions.

Cisco is a great buy, but it can go lower, but it has given back 20%, so yea it's a good buy right now. You're not going ot make any money overnight, but I think it's a great investment. I think someone on here works at Cisco. The thing is that whenever John Chambers speaks, he usually paints a gloom and doom picture of the economy and his sales, which is exactly what happened yesterday. Last time he did it, it did the same thing, and shot up over 27 over the next couple of months.

^ if anyone has been investinf in Freddie or Fannie over the last few months, you may have a deathwish.

[Edited on July 10, 2008 at 10:50 AM. Reason : FRE]

7/10/2008 10:49:41 AM

I don't think Chambers is all doom and gloom. He's just being honest. He said recently that things aren't as bad as the market thinks.

The thing is, he's been talking about stepping down and having the CEO position run by commitee. That's kind of scary. I would not pile into CSCO without doing more research.

7/10/2008 10:54:39 AM

Today is feeling a lot like yesterday, nice good solid run in the morning, then after about 11 or 12 a nice slow steady decline giving all the gains back and end up down for the day. Hoping this last 45 min can hold onto a little green at least.

7/10/2008 3:14:12 PM

HD is at a 52 week low. I might grab a few shares.
