they have 130+ mill in unrestricted cash and the contract is for 230 mill... its def something thats a heavier up swing than downsing

Losing contract like KBR did would be a very bad thing for future contracts.

i wish i could trade stock with the kind of margin i cant trade forex with... my whole folio is up, and most of them up enough to cover fees + a couple % earnings so I am selling out of everything but dcp, f, and a couple small caps then reupping next week.

good day for ford

good day for ford

Yep.  I'm a little upset I bought my GE at a relative high, so my gains are not great.  Still better than my ING, so I'm happy.

I keep trying to squash my gambling and alcoholism but I can't so I am going to shop around for a better online day trader... I wanted to hold long-long positions but I'm too greedy and have very little capital.

[BoostedSchemes]

I signed up for 3 different accounts and by friday should have a reasonable opinion on where to go...if anyone else wants to open a more day trader friendly account somewhere.

I turned $20 into $254 last night in about 4 hours.  Solid investment.

With the way obongo is saying military spending has to be cut...I would stay away from NG.

My wife and I have been making money with mutual funds. We are in CGM Focus fund. We hopped in last fall when it was down and been riding it out. My father in law made some decent money through this about a year ago.

A little "upscale" forum that I have been watching/reading is
http://www.valueforum.com/

NOC was at 58.50ish on 2/9/10. They're at 61.60 right now. Up 5% in 10 days.

Closed at 63.01 on 3-1-10, up 7.7% in 20 days.

miatafag, where do you trade and if you are willing to disclose, about how much capital?

[fysh]

Really? $20 buy-ins for a poker game? When we played with KBR guys, mininum buy in was $250/game. You guys have the money to throw around, us lesser paid convey jockies are more than happy to take it from you. It was nothing for some of the KBR guys to lose $1000 in a single cash game and be back the next day to drop another grand. Fuckin' easy money.

That's the weekly Friday night thing.  This was just random boredom amongst contractors.  Trying to get some of the 82nd ABN guys to play tonight.

Mostly a hunch, but my other thoughts were:

1) New stock.  Lots of fluctuation.  I'm hoping I catch it on the upswing.
2) Entertainment industry is doing fairly well right now.
3) What the business was offering seemed interesting and relevant.
4) 3D bullshit is somewhat the future and they seem to be involved in bringing it to NYC.
5) Technicolor Announces Strategic Partnership With Warner Bros
Tuesday, 2 Feb 2010 01:44am EST
Technicolor announced that it has entered into a long term contract with Warner Bros on duplication and distribution services of DVD and Blu-ray discs. Financial details of the agreement were not disclosed.

I decided to take a gamble on a stock.  If it goes up, I'm probably going to dump it ASAP.

3D is hot technology.  It's landed in multiple local theaters in the last year, and withing a decade it will be in the home.  It's also the gateway to commonplace VR gear. 

If the company looks well structured and has money starting to flow it's way: invest.

Good day for me.  Ford up 3.33% rocketing up to $13.34.  It's taken a while, but I turned a profit with GE going up 3.4% today up to $17.04.  Technicolor finally also turned a profit for me today shooting up 4.83% to $1.53.

I bought Technicolor at $1.47 predicting an up next morning and paid extra to buy it at that rate.  The next morning it dropped to $1.40.  Not a huge deal, but I'd be up a decent bit instead of just a few pennies.  Timing and dumb luck sometimes are the biggest variables.

Oh well, I'm up 9.83% including fees which isn't really accurate because ING will deposit $50 in my account in a week or two which will offset my 3 trades.  I still have high hopes for all of my stocks and don't plan on letting any of them go in the near future.

My next two buys will probably be Nokia and Motorola.  I expect both to be profitable over the next 5 years, especially Motorola which is only $7.  The only thing that scares me about both stocks is the stock's value going down consistently before the economy went to complete shit.  Either way, I could see myself putting a $200 in either stock.  I'm not ready to put a lot of money in the market yet but I feel this market is pretty forgiving because it's in a recovery state.  Buying well known companies that are fairly healthy seems like a sure fire way to make a good long time investment.

couldn't agree more, esp if you have some extra cash lying around.  hell i'd even close out cd's and savings accounts because they aren't getting shit.  i mean ford just jumped 3x in one week what the best interest rates are around here.


i've thought about buying sprint as well, but haven't pulled teh trigger yet

[ghettoturbo]

I thought i had something hot with Cell Therapeutics (CTIC) , but now it seems that they are under investigation for some shadyness so I sold it. Bought it at .67, sold it at .97 about a week later.  I'm still holding on to some options for them though since they are up for some FDA approval later this month.

Just bought some Ford options and I had bought some Quantum Fuel Systems (QTWW) stock that dropped a bit...so far all these trade fees are killing me but I think I'm doing alright.

I'm hanging on 'till April 23rd...
