Woot, too bad a lot of CGT news don't show up on Yahoo's headlines list, the message boards are dead which is sort of indicative of the lack of awareness of the company:|
Anyway I'm really looking forward to earnings next month.

I'm seeing AAPL -3.78% on Yahoo in AH, at 88. Where are you guys looking at your AH numbers?

Ah nice, well both YHOO and AAPL are up nicely. No one added to their positions today I guess (from what I could read)?

I didn't. I've been beaten down so much in the past by Apple sandbagging the guidance that I decided to sit this one out. Now they come in with guidance WAY lower than the consensus and instead of heading down big, the stock is actually up 8.5% in the AH trading. Go figure.

Well just to give you an idea I bought BHI at 65 (I don't know what the fuck I was thinking), it's at 38 now. If I don't add now (or soon) I'm not seeing gains for a while
BTW I have a question: If OPEC was to cut production, oil prices would go up, but what does it mean for the drillers? What does it mean for BHI, HAL, DRQ, etc.? Higher revenues, less work?

Well, I bought POT at 219 (now at 75) and ESLR at 9.90 (now at 3.25).
I sold both awhile ago, fortunately, but still took painful losses. Sometimes doubling down isn't the thing to do, unless you're very confident in a firm's long-term values and have the patience to wait 5-10 years.

Yeah I'm confident in BHI long term. But I can't call a bottom
Ether_Snake
å®å®å®å®å®å®å®å®å®å®å®å®å®å®å®
Yeah, well hopefully, but lots of businesses can die/need a bailout too, but it's all about picking strong businesses at this point that have real value if you are looking at long term gains.
BTW, just curious, what food brand sells the cheapest food in super markets in the US? Like, if you go to the store right now you might chose products based on prices (I know I do now, I'm buying crappy Kraft vinaigrette for example). I'm wondering who would benefit the most. Health-focused brands that were selling at higher prices based on their quality are gonna take a hit from cheaper alternatives.
Any idea? No food company is going to be rolling in gold, but some might do less bad than others, I'm trying to figure out which. No interest in buying anything food-related tho.

Motley Fool's Screen is good to make research like that http://caps.fool.com/Screener.aspx?source=ifltnvsnv0000001
Hmm WFR announces earnings Thursday. The company as nice ratios, but their shares have been beaten down severely for a year. I wanted to buy around 9 months ago based on their ratios. Never did, and then they went down on earnings. They can fall lower, techs are risky. But I'm curious how it will go this week. Just curious tho, I'm not buying.
When did you buy? I made some money on a mining company (ABX) recently. Been looking at possibly buying some again. I made more than I would have buying GLD or SLV. But it's tricky right now, I don't have enough funds to invest in all I want to invest in.

Thanks a lot Ether, had been looking for something like that for a great while. I am also seeing to invest in Metal companies, USX Corporation comes to mind. They had $120 shares a year ago, I am taking a gut bet that they are gonna rise from their current $40 point.

USX? What's the ticket, I find nothing on USX.

Ah ok. Good sector that has fallen a lot, I looked at the ratios and the ratios of the competitors listed in the Yahoo section and they all pretty much look more or less equally solid.
How do u guys buy and sell during the day? Last week I was on vacation so I was able to do some day trading. But this week I'm back to work and stuck watching the real time tickers not able to act on anything. I was on my lunch break today and saw AAPL was down to $93. If I was home I would have bought AAPL at that price. I'm assuming that all of u guys have jobs. So how do u buy & sell during the day? Do u place ur bets in the morning before u leave the house?

Hehe, welcome aboard Let's hope for the best. I'm holding CGT for the long term. Don't blame me if it goes down!
I am on vacation right now (boring vacations, not going anywhere) but usually I place my orders through my bank's service online. I always have a Firefox tab looking at Yahoo Finance while I work, and I go to my online bank account and make the transactions there.
Usually I can't take the time to be as watchful as I have been, it's just that we had less work as we were finishing our current project. When I go back to work in two weeks I won't have as much time to look at the stocks.
BTW I won't see a profit on CGT for a while since my overall holdings are like at 9$ a share on that one, first time I bought I was very inexperienced (a year ago) and bought at 13, twice. You got in at a good price IMO.

NASDAQ futures are up 28 points early on here. Hopefully sets up a good day for technology, and in turn, a good day for me. (CSCO $19 November calls...)
Also, Philip Morris International reports before the bell and own some calls there. Hopefully they don't miss or I'm going to get slaughtered. :lol

NVDA, INTC, IBM, AMD, etc., are up in AH.
AAPL over 103, nice for those who had some
Nikkei just opened, down 200 so far.

May want to look into ConAgra (ticker: CAG). They have a huge variety of foods, including some lines of $1-$2 frozen dinners (I forget the name of the specific product, but they're pretty tasty from my limited experience with them). They've also got all sorts of misc. things like David's sunflower seeds and other small comfort snack foods. Take a look.

Yeah, I was doing a paper for one of my Finance classes and this question let me dumbstruck for a few minutes as I've always considered the DJIA and the S&P as "twins", but I pay more "respect" to the S&P. Nevertheless, yes, DJIA is the one with the biggest gains. Thanks for the reply =D

Damn it...I guess I have to dump this stock in the morning before I sustain heavy losses. I guarantee that Samsung will revisit this deal sometime next summer.

Oh you never sold it? I thought you did by now after the offer. Wasn't there someone else interested?
EDIT: I'm reading Sandisk is up right now, Samsung down?
EDIT2: Nevermind, got that wrong. Not sure where you can see how it's trading in Asia right now.

But isn't it traded also in Asia? Or is that like NTDOY, you can buy in Asia but it's the price here only that drives it?

Actually no I was mistaken, trading will open a bit before markets open tomorrow, as you said.

I work in the industry. The effect would probably be pretty small if OPEC cuts. They still must combat natural field decline with new investment and brownfield investment. Not to mention 60% of production is not controlled by OPEC, and they won't cut back.
Edit. You can also find figures on the value of backlogs for most oil service companies.

Thanks for the input. I'll probably add to BHI within a week or two, then I'm not touching it for a while.
Nikkei down almost 500 pts right now.

Hopefully the overall market weakness doesn't hurt PM, which reported FANTASTIC quarterly numbers this morning, while offering solid guidance moving forward.
Considering taking a chance on ABX @ ~22, but that 100 qty min sort of goes beyond what I prefer to invest. They seem to always bounce back though. Wondering if I should just step in.... (while I type, they are falling down towards 21.)
Everything else is just depressing. This looks like another one of those days, lots of catching up to do.
