I think the market will tank from here on for a few days.

I am not able to decide if I should I sell and take the losses or wait for the gains.

I have lot of $$ in AAPL and RMBS. :(

My account is in big negative now.

I'd wait. That's what I'm doing. It'd suck if you missed the rally due to the wash sale rule :(

I'm treating this as an opportunity to start buying in some more. :)

so glad i got off of RMBS when it was at 18.5ish. i'm so sick and tired of that stock, it's done nothing but provide anticlimaxes for the 10 montsh i've had them.

In 1 year, the stock has gone up 126% and there's been plenty of places one could have traded given its votility. If you think RMBS is boring and anti-climatic, I'm not sure what kind of stocks you were used to. I had warned it's going to stick to a relative range until the trials kick off. Stocks of companies in litigation moves quickly and one needs to be kept updated of the events, but you need to realize the legal system in America moves slow.

Looks like this rally is over. I'm seeing red all across the board. Visa is the only bright spot in my portfolio.

I have absolutely no reason to sell JNJ, GILD, TEVA, ESRX, AXP and many others that I already own.

anyone has any Geta.ob? They are releasing the results of AGENDA Phase 3 Trial of Genasense tomorrow morning at 8am....The fact that they are releasing the news pre-market, could it be good news? I bought 2800shares @ 64cents today. Good luck.

Covered AAPL @ 187. Sold VIX calls 200% profit.

Sold SPY calls at a loss, but was needed to hedge the position.

May sell some VXN calls later today if the market fails into the close.

looks like it wasn't good news :-(

I've lost a nice chunk on GNVC - we'll see where it goes I guess.

*chuckle* Hehe...That actually put a smile on my face when reading that.
Don't expect much from RMBS anytime soon...They'll likely still be battling it out in court for the next decade.

GNVC will hit one day, we are just too early to the party. I am hoping the stock will stay under a buck for the next 6 to 12months, so I will have plenty of time to accumulate. My goal is to own at least 50k-100k shares within the next 6-12months. I own 15700 shares right now, still a long way to go. If you are looking for quick cash, this isn't the stock for that, unless we hear some unexpected news like partnership, etc, my guess is that the stock price won't have much movement for the next 6months.

Right - unless there is some GREAT news w/ the 184th event. Unfortunately I bought at the high. Oh well!

We're up ~33% premarket today. FDA granted "orphan status" for TNFerade.
