V and FB together just gave my portfolio the second biggest one-day jump ever!

Recently I took a hit on ACN, a stock I've been holding on to for a few years now...it took me by surprise...ACN missed their numbers for the weirdest reason ever- apparently clients find their services so reliable compared to their competitors that they strike very long term deals up front that last for many years, which in turn reduces opportunity to restructure the deals and raise fees.

Biofuel production companies are big now and should get even bigger in the future as the devloped world are starting to enforce companies to incorporate biofuel into their consumption . Gas companies in developing countries might also yield well in the next 12-15 years.

Maybe Noodles? It's being labeled as the next Chipotle. I'm keeping an eye on it for now.

Yeah it took them 2 years. He is pretty smart judging from his linkedln profile. He may hire a uber smart lawyer and get away with it. After all he just created a forum which was used by druggies. He has no direct hand in it.

Linked-in shminked in. You'd think I am the the next Zuckerberg-Gates.

He is toast. He managed to stay ahead of the feds for a while but it was only a matter of time.

yes i did after he got caught. he is not billionaire.... their sales it seems like went a touch above a billion in 2 years, in comission he got somewhere close to 100 mil. but yes let this site run few more years he woukd have reached that billion status soon.

i think some 90 percent of this virtual currency called bitcoin was used in silk road.... with silk road shutting down, does this mean bitcoin market should crash now.... common sense dictates so..... i dont follow those things however, so i dont know...

I learned a lot by reading through this thread. What you guys think about JCP? Is it a good buy now?

i dont think you learned anything. but stock buying is 65 pc luck, 35 pc strategy in my opinion, so you may get lucky... however, that 35 strategy, research is important. i havnt been following the jcp stock regularly but i know if any major changes happening that comes to the mainstream news.... like their misrable fail on low price always strategy..... retail clothing is a tricky business... ppl arent always looking for cheap stuff, they are looking for brands, exclusivity, they pay high for that.... i think jcp f*ed up, hence their profit sufferred and hence the stock price reflect it.....

however if you are ballsy and believe in some miraculous rebranding of the company with the right person at the helm, this can be a sweet comeback stock...

however if it was my money, i would look for something better, something that i UNDERSTAND and stay away from it... specially if there is a talk of bankruptsy going on...

many years back, i wrote a post some where in this forum circuit city will be nonexistant and the only retail electronic to trust was best buy i think it was in 2006.... where is cc now... many ppl thought cc with their low price would be a come back because they shop there... but you have to see beyond your bias....

[boasting]V alone is now worth more than all the money I've ever put into the market. My portfolio has almost doubled in value now.[/boasting] When will it be time to get out of the market?

iDumb · #**217** October 26, 2013, 10:26 AM

good for you. u startng to sound like a broken container....this is like the 10th time u boasting about 1 stock pick. btw ma beat v over any period of time fyi.

time for more picks...

and you never get out of market.

btw netflix is back, scroll back in ths thread when it crashed to 50 from 300 and i wrote i think it will come back.... its over 350 now within a year...... :p

anyways, anyone has thoughts on netflix. I think it may recover close to it's previous levels. what do u guys think.

i am not really excited about twitter becuase i dont understand it and i dont follow it, i always thoguht twitter is good for celebrity important ppl unlike fb where everyone is equal.... so different model..... i have no idea how long ppl spend time on twitter or how they make money.....

i will read into it and give my opinion, however just the recent headline i read that they gonna try to under value it in ipo seeing how fb ended up, i think its an interesting move..i think they mentioned something about 11b but i have no clue or even an iota of idea how much it should be unlike i did for fb.

lnkd is a 27 billion dollar company but just on pure speculation i am gonna hazard a guess and say twitter should probably be more valuable than lnkd.... in that case, if u believe that that then money to be had with that valuation....

short answer: i dont know. speculative answer: it will do well in first few weeks/short term if they can sell the idea they are undervaluing it. long term no clue.

I would really like to see a top formation on the S&P 500. market seems strong though, from the fed, market breadth indicators are strong, risk sentiment is off. apart from small retracements, there's not much on the downside.

would really like to see some risk off sentiment..if the US dollar and US treasury prices move higher together then that would be my signal, as well as junk bonds performing less than investment bonds and of course market breadth indicators falling apart.

iDumb · #**222** November 6, 2013, 10:11 PM

twtr twitter is trading tomorrow. in case anyone interested to play. good luck.

hey inspyr, i dont know if you bought into jcp or not, they beat forcasted earnngs, stock up...helped by i think some shprt squeeze as well past month... i was uninformed and dont shop at jcp... restructuring may work....might be a good come back stock.

this is the thing with market, need lots of luck and little bit of basic brain and research.

keep us informed..

i wanna know what all of u guys buying...

G-man · #**225** November 20, 2013, 06:45 PM

man that oil trade got lucky for a little bit.

JCP, not the best company when it comes to valuation, but it's cheap if you look at the price/book ratio. as long as it doesn't fall below 6$ i think it's a good buy.

anyone trade forex here?

Fed's driving everything these days...
