Because of the macro-economic picture, it's still bad. Spanish bonds, for example, hit a euro era high.

If you thought the recent decline was solely due to a small pimple on the ass of Europe, you're wrong....
 
Read up alot on KID today. Looks interesting. But hen I noticed that half of their business is done with Toys R Us.

That pretty much soured the deal for me. I read up on Toys R Us best I could and the risk that Toys R Us poses is not worth it. Too much of a gamble.

It makes some sense why many gurus have been in and out of KID over the past few years but none tend to actually hold on.
 
I never knew this company existed.

Read the exact same daily headlines on the exact same topic/problem enough and this shit becomes predictable.

So, semi-rally today... then I went to Bloomberg and saw that "Feds meet today".

My money's on a dump from the +100 Dow rally around 2-3pm later after "rally fades on dampered Fed stimulus hopes" or some bullshit.

If it doesn't, the other half of my money is doing fine🙂. Sad that the half I pulled out could have been rising too today though... FML.

The holdings I do still have mostly went up. SD expecially. LEE went down but it is a much smaller holding of mine.

I'll have to check up on things later to see what exactly changed. All I know is that those 2015 LEAPs better come soon ;-) The 2015 LEAPS start coming mid September.

So, uh...who took my OCZ purchase advice?

But hey...it's going to $2, right? 😉

EDIT: Bought some FSII after hours. Despite good quarterly report, getting hammered (apparently) due to guidance.

Man, I found something 5% off it's 52 week low that looks promising. Still trying to find a reason to buy it or not buy it. On the fence. I'll mention it once i make a move.

market cap is under $100m. It's a company most here have heard of. Even you Canadians. No debt on the books. Current assets minus total liabilities is about half of the market cap. 7 of the past 8 years have been FCF positive including the past 5. Depending on how you look at FCF, it has always been FCF positive.

EDIT: Wow, the FCF margins are tight (FCF relative to revenues) 2%-5% historically. To give you an idea, JNJs ratio is something like 20%.

up 6% on it. Time to put a stop and see how far it'll go.

I did, just took me two shots at it to get my cost basis low enough to make money. Up 14% on it now. Sadly, I have a 60 day hold mandate on it, so I'd really like it to stay up through the 4th.
 
Don't know if the Fed can really help the economy like they are trying. I get the feeling is not credit but lack of demand. Business is not going to expand just because credit is cheap if they can't sell what they make.

Psssh... They should cut taxes. We all know THAT's why the economy sucks. And Oblama.

Bernanke ('nake?) comment within the hour... up or down....
 
going down. They already said what the Fed is going to do and it's not much. Though I don't think they should do much, especially not to please the market. The market is supposed to reflect the economy, so if it's slowing it's natural that the market drops, no need to prop it up.

But that makes sense! !!! !! !

Just bought into volatility shares based upon the fact I think people will be disappointed.
 
bah limit-stop sell order didn't execute. I'm dong this right? Limit is upper bound to sell and stop lower limit?
 
A stop-limit sell order becomes a limit order after passing below the stop price.

Let's say I own 1000 BAC, cost basis $9.00, currently $8.08. I could place a stop-limit order with a stop price of $7.80 and a limit price of $7.65. Once BAC falls below $7.80, the order turns into a simple limit order with a limit price of $7.65.

When selling, the purpose is to not execute the sell order if the stock gaps from $7.80 to below $7.65. The order would still be filled if/when the stock reached $7.65 again.

When selling, the stop price must be below the current bid and the limit price must be below the stop price. The opposite for buying, of course.
