How long is the FB story going to continue to drag on? Until it stops sliding? It's rather meh at this point. If you got burned, you probably deserve it in one way or another. Smart people stayed out and let others gamble.

Business is the same as it was yesterday? Pretty much. Awesome! Another quarter of growing their cash horde due to positive free cash flow announced at call. Awesome. All while announcing a quarterly loss that only impacts the business in that they pay less in taxes. Hoorrayyyy!

I figure it should go down to atleast $10/share based on FCf numbers and balance sheet.

Negative ebitda and positive cash flow is obviously something that is not sustainable. Surely you realize this.

Good advice if your goal is to track the performance of the S&P 500.

The majority of retail who think they can outsmart the markets by doing it the hard way would be lucky if they even track the performance of the S&P 500.

My advice, just buy SPY and/or IWM (if you want small cap exposure via Russel 2000) + DRIP and call it a day

No, do tell. PS: I said free cash flow, not cash flow.

Well since Free Cash Flow is a subtraction from Operating Cash Flow and long term it is impossible to have positive Operating Cash Flow, without positive EBITDA. Seems you haven't done a good job of your homework.

You are cheering a horrible release. Negative operating earnings is a borderline death knell for the company and you cheer that there are tax savings.

Makes absolutely no sense.

CFO - CAPEX == Free Cash Flow.

Think he's just in denial. They down 90% from their peak. Even if they can pull out it would be a few years for them to recover and those market shares will be much harder to recover.
 
Gotta to love the finance headlines. Yesterday it was "Stocks rise as concerns about Greece abate" today it's "Stocks lower on worry about Spain".
 
I see that I'm not the only one enjoying seeing IHateMyJob2004 try and talk RIM up as a good investment even as the ship sinks in front of everyone.

I remember laughing at him doing 3 hours of "research" and posting the next day how HTML5 is going to save RIM and Google/APPL are going to be screwed. That was about 3-4 months ago, and here we are.....stock at an 8 year low, and market cap down ~80 billion since 2008.

IHateMyJob2004 likes to throw buzzwords around a lot and big names like Prem Watsa but I hope nobody here lost money from him hyping up a lot of garbage stocks.

Heres a link that I'm sure he'll try and discredit somehow:

Ouch @ OCZ today (well the entire market, but still... ouch)

Definitely not OCZ's finest day. Will probably add more tomorrow if the opportunity arises.

Had a lot of fun with ARNA today, though. Gained a total of $0.61/share in the last 24 hours. 🙂

You should be able to get filled OCZ in the mid 2's in the next few months why rush and pay more today when you can get it cheaper tomorrow.

Unlikely. I don't know about you, but a company that's increasing R&D, expanding market share in both consumer and enterprise segments, increasing their gross margins (that means they're NOT losing money per drive sold -- the increased R&D and sales headcount accounted for increased OpEx).

Stop spreading FUD, man. OCZ is a high beta stock -- it just followed the major indices down with a high multiplier.

The company's executing well and fundamentally they're good and getting better. Don't confuse trading action, panic selling, and manipulation (volume was 2.44M, meaning that it was only $6M in cash to move this sucker around).

It must've sucked for the guys who sold at the low of $4.14 last year. 'cause it was only a matter of a month or two for those on the buy end of that trade to double their money.
 
Hope NVDA is driven below $12 again. I'd like to ride this escalator back up again.

EDIT: Hmm, AMD is below $6. Could be worth it for a nice flip...
