They seem to be doing fine: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=ITY&t=5y
I was considering it. Missed the drop. But I have other ones in mind first like BA and CM.

NVDA up 4%.
IMMR up over 3% after announcing they'll be selling some VR medical/surgery stuff from another company around the world.

Of course it can go higher as GTA sales materialize, even if they are taken into account to some extent. I think whatever the case, you can be a winner with TTWO long-term. I sold at 25.75 because I had been saying for a while that I was waiting for them to get bought by something like Viacom or Newscorp, some non-game business, and in my head I was aiming for around 24$ a share. So when EA made its move, I felt it wasn't as likely to happen, and sold above my initial target anyway. With ATVI I kept my shares because even tho my target was actually 27$ (bought at 17), merging with Vivendi implies that IMO they could go much higher still. EA on the other hand, I was saying recently how I might jump in (even tho I was never interested in them, as I had said before I don't like the company's management and believe they can fall hard) because it was getting fairly low. That was back when it was worth 47, I didn't have enough money tho.
TTWO IMO, even if they fell again for whatever reason, I could sleep on it. Eventually they WILL be bought, and if for some reason they aren't it will be because the company will have been in top shape by then, but really it's unlikely that even if the EA offer drops (they just lowered the offer, which is utterly ridiculous considering GTA is on the corner and hype is building up, and the price went up anyway) no one else would come in for a better price. I'm sure it will happen, eventually.
But until then, anything goes with that stock. It could go down significantly in the short term, or up. No way to know, I just know I could sleep on it. The reason I'm not buying is that I've already made my money, and I can't put a target price on TTWO at this point anymore unlike when I bought it. So if I can't think of a target price for a stock, I don't buy it. For all I know they could be bought for 27$ or 35$, I have no idea at this point!
When I'll have some funds (damn GTAIV which forces me to buy my PS3 and HD TV this month), I will probably buy something like BA, GR, CELG, CRDN (a bit risky), or CM (I'm probably forgetting one). We'll see, until then I'm just on the watch
EDIT: UBI is back above 60 euros again.
EDIT2: GR earnings on the 24th, before the opening. Damn. CRDN on the 25th. BA on the 23rd! WFR on the 24th (not buying cause I have enough tech).

Argh I really missed my chance on BA. That's a few I wanted to buy that I missed so far, such as ADBE:|
At least NVDA is back above 20.
UBI earnings for the year this Friday.
ADSK up 4%. Good day good day. Let's go for 13,000!

Yeah the same happened with ATVI for two consecutive earnings before the mergin. It sucks.
In other news, ADSK raises outlook, stock up 8% in two days so far

GR up 10% on earnings.

To be fair, the stock has had an incredible run up since February. I regret selling my shares at that time.
People are understandably worried about the yen continuing to appreciate against the euro and dollar. As the yen appreciates, Japanese exporters' revenues (in yen) will fall. The fact that they underestimated the yen this quarter and still beat their estimates is a testament to the strength of the company, though.
(now, imagine what their profits would be like if the Fed hadn't gone crazy cutting rates...)

i look at is as them being at the lowest they've been at in like 10 years. thats like bargain basement pricing. its not like they are going anywhere. Its the mcdonalds or coke/pepsi of coffee.

Finally over $70 again, exactly how I feel heh. My dilemma is sell now or sell next quarter. I don't have anything I'd immediate need the cash for now or even any other investments I'd like to make, but will after next quarter, however I'm worried about the next 3 months.

It's down to $67. The ADR reports it at $71 for the time being because they're slow to update, but the highest bid is $67.75. See this site for a more accurate price -

ADSK was up 5.57% today, thanks for forecast boost. I'm glad, I bought at 32.23 or so and it,s now trading at 37.53. I have a mid 40s target.
Now if only NVDA could go up. Earnings on May 8th.

Like I said before I'll probably never break even on IMMR, unless that iPod rumor is true It dropped a lot in after hours anyway.
WFR went down after disappointing results (don't have any shares of them but was interested in the past).

Nothing happening on my end today. Only CGT is up 3%.
Not a bad day for me. SDVI advanced 4/10ths of a cent. That's a cool $1300 for me :lol
Visa raced ahead 7% despite missing analyst estimates on earnings. Buoyed by stellar earnings from MasterCard (that stock up 13%!).
AAPL up 1.63% to cross $175 for the first time in a while. Getting nervous about this one as I think it might be due for a small turnaround. I'm confident it could end the year above $200 though.
NTDOY not looking too shabby at $69.50.
Some pullbacks though. NFLX and TNP both down about 2.5%. TNP had a major surge yesterday on no news that I can see so it's kind of expected, and still up, anyway. Still up on NFLX as well.

Rest assured, it will be back down again. Profit takers on penny stocks are the worst. You can see sell action jump on a tenth of a cent increase. It takes some real news to push them up. Luckily SDVI is trying to uplist to the OTC boards and Mazes of Fate might do some business on the DS, so I think they're reasonably well positioned. I would never recommend anyone get involved in a penny stock though

Can anyone help me with picking a good mutual fund? I opened up my first IRA last year and I sunk it into Fidelity's Freedom 2050 fund. I decided to go more for high risk and so far the past 5-6 months I've lost about $200 in the fund, probably moreso due to the economy than anything else.
Should I worry about taking my money and sticking it into another fund? I just don't want to get into a case where once I'm 65 (I'm 25 now), my money will have only grown a paltry amount.
On that note, is there any company or anyone I can hire to take care of my mutual fund picks? I'm not really sure I know enough to manage this stuff myself...

I can't really recommend a mutual fund, because in the long run they get beaten by the general market (S&P500, Nasdaq). It's because those fees that you pay for management, and because the few good managers in a fund tend to not manage for more than a few years.
What was the high risk fund? Because in nearly every case, the best returns are by buying and holding. What you're doing is succumbing to a classic text book behavioral investing case, where you buy high when times are good and sell low when times are bad. By doing this you're missing the strong returns from high risk funds when things rebound, and paying commission fees.
In investing, risk is defined by large variations in value. But in the long run, you get higher returns. The opposite is also true.
I think in your case, you'd be best off by diversifying among funds in different sectors and countries, and rebalancing annually. The overall portfolio will climb more smoothly, and you'll slightly increase the returns that you're currently getting. But buy index funds from now on.
If you'd like to understand why, and understand investing a bit more, read this:

Personally, I'm doing something similar to what I recommended with diversified index funds. I'm studying fundamental analysis and investing in general over the next few years, and then I'll do some trading. But I'm still going to buy and hold for the most part.

That's a negatory.
I'm up 14%, 8%, 18%, and 11% on my mutual funds since the low on March 10th. Who knows what the market is really going to do, but I'm betting on the Bull. Now that the feds are expected to stop cutting interest rates, people are likely going to start moving out of commodities and back to the stock market. When the inevitable bottom falls out of gold (and oil to a much lesser extent) it's going to be a wild ride for anyone still hanging on to them.
It was entirely lucky timing, but I love how it was posted just 9 hours before the bottom of the market. :lol

Wow nice guys, good for you
IMMR tanked after bad earnings. Not surprised. POS I've been keeping under the rug for a while
Other than that I've had a good week, NVDA especially. ADSK up again today, only 0.28% NVDA up 4.78% (up around 3$ this week).
ATVI, CGT, NVDA and ADSK will all release their earnings this month, for some reason I can't look up the dates right now on Yahoo.
It really sucks I didn't have more money on me earlier in April; ADBE, CM, BA, and possibly CRDN (altho less likely) were on my buy list.
I'll have to wait around two to four weeks before I buy anything again.
