The Babe's Trades

[riverbabe]

Interesting. I just moved my 14 year old Dell tower still running XP up to the spare room. Would be interested to know just what model you chose and any other info a prospective buyer (an English major) might profit by. Thank you.

Bought it online at Best Buy. Spent several chat sessions with them and asked advice from the McAfee tech guys in India. They all said Windows 7 is the most like XP and Vista, so I will be comfortable using it. Have two monitors, so figured I needed at least one or more expansion slots (PCI) for additional graphics cards. Had Nvidia GeForce cards in the old one, so comfortable with that. Also have had Dells for years. This is what I got. Check out the specs and Reviews. Be sure you don't get caught without Ethernet! Some of them don't have internet access! (the gaming computers). It's more than I actually need, but hooray, I can expand too, and it should last another 15+ years.

P.S. graphics cards come in all sizes, so make sure the PCI slots are the right size to fit them. All the reviews I read were very helpful in selecting this computer over many many others.

AMRN is on the move. There's a blast from the past. Including today's pre-market it has more than doubled since the first of the month.

Have been watching it, but definitely not going there. Too much baggage from the last go-around.

I wouldn't touch it either. Guess this is a reaction to the recent private placement. People figuring somebody knows something.

It means I don't own it in real life and it may have gotten away from me. Need to study it further. It's part of a children's rhyme, "Wish I may and wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight."

AKRX has been very good to me ever since I purchased 1000 shares at 36.20 in my ROTH on 11/07/2014. I have also done well writing covered calls on my shares as it claws its way back towards 50 again.
(That ROTH account has otherwise been hurting waiting on BAC and GM (which has finally made a move) keeping it down and performing worse than the market. Thank goodness for diversification and AKRX. )


River, are you still subscribing to Zachs?
I was thinking of trying the 30 day trial offer for $1 and hoping you can share your thoughts.
