92cxyd or whatever, I'm trying to get a job working for UBS where all I would do is find such mechanical offloading and buy/sell against it. Agree that its a solid approach? Whenever anyone has a "system" that calls for them to sell 40,000 shares, 10,000 each friday, I want to be the guy buying every one of those fucking shares.


god I cant wait for mcdonalds to call back so i can give up worrying about ever working more than 20 hours a week

fucking ford lol.... the stop price at a few analysts was in the 12s I still refuse to believe we wont see 15 in april... fucking ford.

[bigwig]

What the fuck is with Ford?  Anyone even to begin to understand why the stock dropped from $14 to $12.80?  I'm just going to take this time to buy another $1000 at $12.50 so when it goes up to $15-20 in the next 12 months, I make more money.

I'm thinking of a 401k at my work and I can invest up to 50% of my contribution to what ever I want, but I have to pay $20/trade.

I have the option of picking some potential high risk/ high returns mutual funds to chose from.

It is with Great-West retirement services and they are somehow affiliated with Wells Fargo which I'm not a big fan of.

I thought about just doing the 5%/pay check and get 4% company contribution. For tax reasons I find this a little beneficial.

Then using a Share Builder account from ING for trading what ever I want.

Had a very bad experience with them when they took over the bank I use to have an account with.

I was fee-d to almost bankruptcy about 15yrs. ago. And I'm worried if our gov't moves forward they will break the top 10 banks because they are too big and possibly too much toxic assets.

Wells Fargo is on that list. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/07/congressmen-to-call-for-b_n_383128.html

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/31/simon-johnson-colbert-report_n_519686.html

There is some legislation that could make this a possibility.

I will be very happy some of these banks who screw people over get screwed themselves for a change.

But I worry of possibility of some kind of extra fees or lose of money in my retierment account if Wells Fargo gets broken up. 

I have very low trust with banks in general less than I do with our gov't.

update: citi (c) has been on fire 

 I just dont know whether to hang on until the earnings report on the 19th. Im afraid to see it tank, but possibly more afraid of missing out if the report is good...

Honestly, there is no way to fucking tell.  Stocks are no longer driven by logic.  It's all about insider knowledge.  Ford has not had a single bad piece of news in the last year, yet magically once it hit $14.50, the stock dropped like a rock until today.  Why?  A bunch of hedgefund managers all decided to dump at the same time.  The same thing will happen with Citi.  The only way to win is to guess right, get out ahead of time, or look for the long haul.

Today illustrates my point perfectly.  The whole market is down ~1.5%.  I have GE.  They had a good quarter report.  Stock is down 4%.  Ford, down 3%, nothing but good news.  The stock market for short term investments is impossible to figure out.  Period.  Long term investments are the only way to make out in the end.

I'm not in total agreement with that.

Because if I watch the market regularly and any time a 4+ days of advance or a 100+ one day jump, there is a down day or two for profit taking.

You at cycles and trends for short time investing.

I've also noticed mid month on some future they always drop then post big gains later in the month.
Depending on when the Calls are being made.

I have to track Cu pricing for my foundry. ;D

Also think Quarter and Semi annually be buying and profit taking opportunities because that is when hedge funds and mutual funds managers reallocate assets. ;D :yes:  

[Eggylshatch]

You have not seen anything yet.

Portugal, Spain, Italy, Ireland, then the rest of the EU will have serious loan defaults. 

Because they owe tons of money to each other.
