Future reference is here. BRK up about 50% from March lows.
I think Naustica gave up on the game, he knew he couldn't keep up.

I was completely wrong on the strength and length of this powerful bear rally. Totally underestimated every phase of the bull's case. To say I missed the big portion of the greatest rally I've seen would be an understatement. I still hate this market but I've been totally wrong. We'll see if 1120 gets taken out to break the big picture downtrend.
ok, I think I am done with my accumulation of GNVC for now. I had to sell some HGSI to buy my last batch this morning. volume have been huge for the past few days..close to 20million shares traded just the past 2 days. Could it be ATOT effect?? I hope not, I don't think *I* can move the market like that.
This reminds me of the website fast trade back in 1995-96, does anyone remember that?

The ITC Staff just released their findings to the public. They believe that Rambus' patents are valid and that Nvidia is infringing. They recommend that the judge sends Nvidia a cease order and an importatation ban of chips into the U.S.
Judge releases his opinion on Jan 22nd after the trial (which had already started earlier this week).
These patents are relatively new and don't expire until 2015-2020 and unrelated to the DRAM patents Rambus is fighting with Samsung, Hynix and Micron on (which expire next year, but they have other DRAM patents that expire much later).

I pay several thousands of dollars for a PACER account in order to retrieve court documents when they are made public. This hasn't been reported by the market yet, but you can tell other people knew about the news, there were huge buy orders this morning when it came in.
As to your buying RMBS question... it's up to you. If I didn't have the amount of shares I did, I'd probably buy, even if it's on the high end of its trading range. There's too many events that will be happening in the next 3 months.
On the flip side is, the ITC judge (Essex) is not deciding until January 22nd. The markets could change to bear mode again dropping Rambus heavily with it. Also, this is the same judge who was anti-TSRA and handed down two non-infringements to the companies TSRA was suing. In those cases, the ITC staff also recommended the judge to grant infringement and he didn't listen. However, on appeal, the ITC Commission over-ruled the judge and sided with the ITC staff. So if the judge doesn't follow the staff's advice, the ITC Commission will likely over-rule the judge once again.
The positive here is that Judge Essex agreed with the ITC staff's intepretation of Rambus' patents, so I can't see how he won't agree with himself.
Between this case and the AT trial, I feel strongly that someone is going to buckle and settle (Samsung).
IMO the fundamentals aren't there yet. If Q3/Q4 earnings are good, I would say its no longer a bear rally.

Sab was kind enough to upload the findings. Here's the 211 page decision. It also goes over why Judge Robinson was wrong with finding that Rambus was guilty of document destruction and spoiliation... and what spoilation truly is, in clearly definable terms. Overall, the findings strongly favor Rambus, and agrees with Judge Whyte that Rambus' document retention policy was normal and disagrees with Judge Robinson that Rambus spoilated... and that even if Rambus did, it is not enough to rule Rambus' patents unenforceable (which is what I've been saying since January when Robinson came out with her crazy logic!).
This is it...judgment day for HGSI on Nov 2nd.
Human Genome Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq:HGSI - News) today announced that it expects to have top-line 52-week results available on Monday, November 2nd, from BLISS-76, the second of two pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials of BENLYSTA? (belimumab) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Senior management will host a conference call to discuss the results on November 2, 2009 at 8:15 AM Eastern. The BLISS-76 data will later be submitted for full presentation at an appropriate scientific meeting.
Anyone still owns MYST.OB? it has been going up since they announced their name change, 100 to 1 reverse split, and the huge dilution...I sold all my holding today, usually reverse split is bad enough on its own, along with the huge dilution, I thought the stock would tank for sure, but it has been going up. Maybe it is finally getting notice. I might buy after the reverse split.

Yup, and cutting expenses can only work so long. If top line does not grow/stop going down in Q3/Q4 you will see profits tumble.

Even the first level in option allows you to buy call.
And welcome to the world of options
Thanks!
Broker is Schwab btw although thinking about changing this to scottrade or something. I only got approved for level 0 which means I can do all of what I listed (covered calls/puts/roll-outs and buy-writes or unwinds) but longs calls/puts are level 1. Not wanting covered calls or puts at the moment and I'm not interested in going beyond level 1 to the world of margins.
The approval questionaire asked how often I traded options currently and I said not at all since I wasn't approved so I assume that's why I was rejected. I'm going to call and hopefully rectify this.
Meanwhile C is back below 5 haha.
Ah.. Will be another exciting (or sweating
) moment as a HGSI holder. Since my cost basis is 0, I will not sell any of my HGSI position on Oct 30 anyway. 
: ) I'm up 17% on my total investments in 3 years. Reading this thread, being patient and not doing any work at work has paid off.
Time, compound interest, and a healthy respect for capital preservation, is a potent wealth creation machine over time.
It's nice to brag about your 1, 2, or 3 bagger, but if you lost 50% on investment prior to that, 1 bagger only gets you back to even (0% net rate of return).
Mutual fund reports often an include a graph of what $10,000 invested at time that that mutual fund was opened has done. It presumably only had that original $10,000 of principal to start with, and all subsequent gains and losses have to be taken in sequence, along with trading costs and management fees, to get to that it's now worth this much amount.
Also seems to be that avoiding those really big, nasty losses, can have a very important effect upon your actual long term rate of return (not even accounting for the consistent drag of taxes for a heavy trader). Cramer brags about his hedge fund performance (I forgot what he said his average annual rate of return was, but I kind of think he said 22%), but I believe he freely admits he was lucky to be in cash during the 1987 crash, and I think he closed his hedge fund before this nasty multi-year stock market downturn took place.
Kiplinger magazine had recent issue where they listed best performing mutual funds over various time periods, and over 10 - 20 year period, I think Davis New York Venture (similar to Selected American funds) and Dodge and Cox Stock (DODGX) were almost at very top, despite heavy exposure to financials and getting drawn into value trap with financials such as AIG, and getting hit very severely in last year in stock market.

just bought nok and ups on friday.any thoughts on either one?
400 nok at 13.48 and 200 ups at 56.89
400 nok at 13.48 and 200 ups at 56.89
I think NOK is doomed. Do they even have a smart phone?
So... AAPL earnings today. Who is holdings? I have 20 shares or something
Sure, why not.
I've been watching it long for the most part, but over the last 4 months it's become a reliable trade for me with excess cash. Always try to keep a fairly sizeable position in case some great news hits, but it's been fun so far.
