Thanks for reminding me!

I would have been up $25,000 if I had put my order in 1 day sooner.

I do have 5,000 shares at 0.037 though.

for those of you looking for hi risk stocks, look at Celsion too (CLN). They're also doing research on a product that has real big potential. Not to mention they have some pretty big names backing their research, so unlike SYBD they most probably will always be able to fund their next clinical study. Their stock has been rising fairly steadily the last couple months, but at 1.60 a share, it's still a good price to get in at.

After Martha Steward goes to jail for insider trading and obstructing justice, MSO will probably be put out of business or bought out. In the mean time I think Ill short 5000 shares. :)

Personally, I'd go with HEC because I'm more comfortable with the higher avg daily volume

Well, exeg hasnt done me well. And Eqty did me quite poorly when she decided $5 was too high and proceeded to drop like a freakin rock. Funny thing is I KNEW I should sold at 5 and been happy but nooo.....
Ah well, time is on my side. Time to sit back and wait....

SYBD has been going down, along with HEC

I picked up some AVR at .28 and sold at .36 though, decent gain.

sold a few risks and invested into QQQ for now. Hopefully nasdaq starts posting gains :p

what do you guys think about LU (Lucent technologies)? They've fallen hard and fast in the past, but I would think they might get back on their feet.

granted i only glanced over lu quick here, but it looks as though they are coming back, slowly... but they are.

some of these high risk stocks have too little volume. You may be up huge, but if you can't find anyone to buy your shares, you might as well have nothing. Pick a stock thats volatile, but also has decent trading volume. you don't want a stock thats $0.50, and only like 50-60k shares traded in a day.

SYBD is a long term play. Wrong choice for a quick hit.

WHOA!
Equity Oil

"
PHILADELPHIA, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Whiting Petroleum Corp. (WLL) on Monday said it agreed to acquire Equity Oil Co. (EQTY) for $76.24 million, including assumed debt, in order to add to its oil and gas reserves.

Whiting, an oil and natural gas exploration company with operations in markets including the Gulf Coast, the Rocky Mountains and Michigan, said it would swap 0.185 share of Whiting for each share of Equity and assume $29 million of Equity debt.

Whiting said it expects the deal to boost its 2004 earnings, cash flows and reserves.

Equity said it mulled various strategic options and contacted 73 companies about their interest in the company. It said it received eight offers for the company or its assets. REUTERS"

So I'm gonna lose the equity and gain Whiting at a 1 -> 0.185 right?
