Oil has been a wild ride the last month. Wheee

 

[Imp]

Ya, I didn't realize that oil hit a new low last week. Remembered wrong that oil hit $42 already a month or two ago. And we're back at $52... 20% swing in a week or two.

Blackberry reports tomorrow.

And rumor is that Canada will cut its rate again in a few weeks.

Today, most analcysts came out and upgraded Kraft stock and its price target to match the yesterday Heinz merger buyout price. Why even bother? How does changing the target price today help anyone?

BBRY beat earning but missed revs badly.

Stock up 6% or so right now in PM. Wanted some $10 call options for today. They order didn't go through yesterday but being greedy on the buy side is the way to do it

 

[Hugo Drax]

BBRY is dead money. You need to come up with a new plan

“The first quarter of 2015 will look atrocious, because the oil shock is a big deal for us,” Mr. Poloz said.

That's Canada's central banker talking.

Wall Street must have seen some "bad" news.

BBRY down looks like you got lucky you did not get filled on them 10 dollar calls.

BBRY underperforms the SPY ETF fund.

ADXS new 52 week high! $14.99

I still think $17-$18+ is doable this year, maybe even $28-$44 by 2016.

Long 500 shares, short calls (covered).

Cashed out second half of POS oil sands stock for 50% loss. At least I get to claim the cap loss on this one. Decided there's no way oil won't be dropping further and new round of quarterly reports are coming up.

Iran tentative nuclear deal reached... Working out details over next few months. Wonder if oil market priced it in or if they thought it wasn't going to happen.

Again, weak jobs report, stocks up. It's hilarious.

Also hilarious: Saw yesterday that Tesla's "announcement" of their April Fools joke product triggered the bots into massive buying.

Sadly thats exactly why i dont play individual stocks anymore. Everything is rigged by supercomputers doing trades in miliseconds.

Well i dont do a large amount. I have some fun money to just play around with but its hardly anything really

Uhhhh - wasn't the jobs report announced this morning? Stocks were closed for good friday, so I don't think the market has been reflected?

Rare Pepes are nearing peak levels I fear. I would stop all orders and prepare to sell at the drop of a tendie. The market has been so volatile that ebay is actually canceling auctions in an effort to stabilize the value of GBP.

This very auction was canceled today after a series of rapidly escalating bids:

Wise investors are trading in USD these days. Too many people have been stockpiling their GBP in fear of a double bbq dip reccesion instead of spending, and as a result the tendies futures market is currently tanking and nobody is projecting any sort of growth in the next few quarters. Even worse, GBP are trading at an all time low compared to USD, mostly due to mommy dearest threatening to call in their GBP loans if they don't get piss jug reform, which could cause the eventual collapse of the GBP zone.

The Republicans want to stop these sales and take in the rare pepes for themselves. Please call in your local democratic representatives and stop the restriction of free trade happening.

What would get me laughing is a group of people buy "XYZ". Then start tweeting about a possible buyout. The bots drive the price up. Then sell.

Once the bots start costing instead of making. Might see some changes.

Ingenious. Make bots to counter bots.

Some make bots that can mass tweet on a large scale and make facebook posts or whatever else the stupid shit bots go off of.

Rumors COS might hit 30 dollars on a potential BP acquisition.

 

[Hugo Drax]

wait.. so ackman lost his $1B short on Heralife?
and Comcvnt got the ok to merge w/ATT?!

careful about Buffet nowadays. don't know how long he'll stay as head of the Berkshire empire.

Icahm.. meh

he did not lose. He always wins on the fees. The people who gave him money to manage lost on the Herbalife bet.

he has no skin in the game, he just collects his fees.

Rumors COS might hit 30 dollars on a potential BP acquisition.

Got tired of looking at it hover around $10 to $11 (CAD) so I dumped it last week -- probably should have held on until today to sell for the extra 10%, but the upside was pretty meh compared to the other 95% of my portfolio. I needed it to double it make my money back and didn't see that happening soon. Might go back in if oil hits $20-$30 if/when supply capacity runs out.

You should read about what Blackberry does. I don't care to preach. People to end to act like Lemmings and enjoy their own blissful ignorance.

ADXS up again, this time $16.44, 52 week high!

Overvalued short term, be careful here. Might go to $18 or back to $12. Sold calls against everything and now waiting for assignment so I can do it all over again.

$18 !!!

When this stock was $7+ in February my expectation was $17-$18 was fully valued for the year, that was just 60 days ago! Valuation is at nosebleed.
