Whiting USA Trust I (NYSE: WHX)
Check out the current price and the dividend.
That one scares me off the bat. Too small of a market cap and virtually no institutional ownership. I wouldn't touch that.... but then again, I've given bad advice in the past...  The dividend yield does look good though.
I'm just pissed that apple isn't doing what it's supposed to do. It's supposed to run up to 550 with the price of its put contracts going down... and it ain't happening. I'm down 200 bucks already... stupid stock market... hehe...

It's way up since late January. When did you buy in?

Didn't buy in yet. Sold some put contracts. I'm waiting for the standard pull back once the new products are released in a few weeks. Typically the stock would run up right before then. Yesterday many people churned apple as it shot up and then right back down. It's just acting atypically, which is pissing me off.

I've put about 5% of my holdings into: GE, T, NYB, JNJ, PG, and WMT.
This is an investment position, not a trade (12+ months).
I considered gold and don't like the way it looks and the way it might behave if our dollar strengthens.
Currently think the market has a 20% correction in it prior to the elections and then will rise past the high through the elections.
Sometime next year (mid to late 2013) an extended decline in the market below prior lows seen in 2009 by 2015. Recall the japanese market fell from over 30,000 to below 10,000 and has not recovered in 20 years. We are acting similarly to them now.

That looks real interesting.
I'd take a 1/3 position with a stop at 6.00. Add 1/3 if it bounces off of 6.18. Add 1/3 as it passes 7.71. Then put a 5% trailing stop.
The 100 recently recrossed the 300dma in a bullish way.

It was down about another 1% today so I bought 700 shares at 7.06

Got bored, sold this early and made $100. Could be worse.

I wanted $100?
I use a system where I take the highest valued stocks according to several very common evaluation factors and then look for the ones that are down on the one month, six month, and/or one year charts. Adding to that I take into account my evaluation of the market psychology for a particular security. It's not an exact science but it works very well for me despite Chad having told me it must be pure luck.

Cool, sounds like a solid strategy.

Possible decent entry at around 6.50-6.75. wouldn't touch it here.
Very overbought.
Lot of risk.
Could keep going up... this looks like a fundamental (news?) trade ratherthan a technical trade long term.
Short term, it looks near parabolic.

Remember RIMM?
It's down 8% today. Thinking about buying in to make back what I lost on it last time around.

I'm keeping my eye on rimm. I think once they get the kinks worked out (like executing their executive team) that the stock will return to it's former glory.
I'm also looking at rht and bnny. still think both have some upside to come shortly.

I could have made back all my money and then some if I hadn't sold it early last time. That has been my only bad trade over the past year (as far as I recall) and I'm looking to make it back.
I bought a small position (150 shares) was thinking about doing closer to $5k but I'll wait and see what happens for a little while first.

Why, RIMM, why?!!!!!
Okay, so the whole market is taking a dump this morning. At least it's only down 2% and I didn't buy much. A triple down might be in order shortly...

The fed changed the rules of the game yesterday.
They are indicating they are NOT going to print another 700 billion dollars and give it to the banks to buy stock.
I'd be careful. We were due for a 20% correction prior to the election and this could be it here at last.
It's pretty staggering that the government got in the business of propping up stock market prices to begin with. Just thinking of what they could have done with 1.4 trillion dollars instead.
Go to mars, fund over 200 failed 500 million dollar solar power companies, keep medicare going another couple years.

I've only been dabbling lately and have been waiting for that correction with baits on my breath.

I shifted 2/3rds of my IRAs out of index funds and onto the sidelines today. I'd like to hang on to the gains we've made in the last two years.
I've heard that improvements in the market take time to show up "on main street," so to speak. I guess it would be nice if that proved true in this case, but I'm skeptical.

My timing was bad but there was money to be made on it. Right after I sold it the first time it ran up. I'm going to take the advice of those in this forum though and stay out of the market comletely for a while.

Are we still of the opinion that we should stay out of the market?

CHA-CHING! Thank you, thank you very much. I'll buy the drinks tonight.
The date I made that post was the low day on the previous 30-day chart. For my next prediction: Seahawks Super Bowl!
Yeah right.
