Is it OK to speculate on stocks here?

If you want to make some safe money off of VMWare, buy EMC instead. They still own most of VMWare's stock, and the valuation on that company is much saner than VMWare is right now.

>Where did the 375 millions figure come from?

They only sold ~10% (the 33) and kept the rest.

My own limit order only went through because of that dip after 10am, heh.

 

[watdahel]

how much did you pay?

 

[jfall]

Bought 100 VMW shares @ 51.45. Sold today @ 59.00 not a bad profit for two days work

 

[watdahel]

I thought VMW sold 33 millions shares. How come NYSE says it's 77 millions outstanding shares?

 

[watdahel]

anyone?

Damn, should have bought in at $52. It's $72 now. Argh!!!!!!!!!

 

[watdahel]

Zecco cost me ~$1200. I'm switching ship. Now I'll have to wait for a new entry point. If the price drops to $55 I'll jump on it.

I bought some WX around $20, its almost $26 now, chinese stock is where it's at!

 

[richardycc]

WX is over 31 now...awesome!

I have TD Ameritrade. How come I can't get any quotes or real time charts for Nintendo there? Where do I need to go?

EFUT's gone from 16 to 31 in two days because of beijing contracts. :Q (and of course due to the speculative irrational exuberance of buying anything remotely close to doing business in china right now. )

I think the GOOG jokes have run their course, as nearly EVERYONE that has bought and held google shares to this point have profited.

Hopefully some smart people will take a little profit, including my sis.

I got in at $51.10 and still holding - up about 80% to date.

Did you sell all of it? If so, I bet you wish you waited, although your 14% profit is good for 2 days.

Did you get out of BIDU before the drop today?
