The Babe's Trades

People I know are into the COLL IPO. They have been backing the company privately for some period of time.

Thank you for this. It all sounds reassuringly familiar (I understood every word). Great proven and needed product. Another long, drawn out and risky process (including patent infringement litigation) until we can make money. But a potential jackpot at the end of the rainbow. Ordinarily right up my alley because I really like the odds here. But I'm not as young as you, and realistically have to take into consideration the time factor to fruition. Otherwise I would jump on it in a heart beat. Thank you again.

VRNG drama still ongoing. Good Grief!

Vringo officially seeks Supreme Court review of Google ruling May 14 2015, 12:27 ET | By: Eric Jhonsa, SA News Editor

• Vringo (VRNG +3.4%) has officially filed a petition for a Supreme Court review of last August's federal appeals court (CAFC) ruling that overturned a Virginia jury's infringement verdict against Google.
• The company stated in December it planned to seek a Supreme Court review, after the CAFC denied Vringo's petition for an en banc review of its ruling. The S.C. only reviews a tiny % of petitioned cases.
• Vringo's petition argues "the Supreme Court should intervene to ensure that patent litigation does not continue to be at risk of arbitrary re-litigation years after a patent has been issued by appellate judges who did not witness the trial and have only the cold record to review."
• Separately, VRNG)+Patent/10556062.html" target="_blank">ZTE states China's patent re-examination board has invalidated a Vringo patent for the 13th time in 9 months. The invalidations come ahead of a June 1 hearing by a Shenzhen court for a ZTE anti-monopoly suit against Vringo.

First, please understand that these thoughts are from someone whose eyes glaze over at the word "fundamentals." I tried that free trial and, after trying to figure out how to use it for a full day and ending up with a headache, decided to revert to the KISS principle. I play to my strengths, technical and behavioral analyses. Besides, I think it costs extra over the "Ultimate" sub. I'm happy to rely on a pro's fundy analysis (like the Huge One's and Zack's). From monthly Z's webinars, I have learned how to use the valuable info and charts they provide to the greatest advantage. The Research Wizard might be great for you, just not for me. Let me know how you do with it. I'm interested.

Well I have demurred on the Wizard. It puts me in mind of the Rubik's cube in the number of approaches and variables one has to chose from. Even the lists it produces don't seem really to do a good job of isolating "good" stocks. If that was possible we'd all just run screens. Zack's does interest me. For starters I thought I might take the basic one year subscription for $270 or so whatever the exact amount. That will give me all the stock ratings and access to charts and some sub-set of the emails. I need to learn more about the information related to the charts.

Ah Hah! Billy and I are both in good company! Be sure to take a tutorial on how the ratings are done because there is a "time factor" involved as to when and how the ratings change (like after earnings), and in respect to the number of stocks allowed at each rating. In addition to the usual charts, the charts most valuable to me in the left menu are "price and (analyst) consensus", "price and EPS surprise", and another combining both charts. The "style scores" are new and relate to the type of portfolio (growth, value, momentum) you would find them in. Z recommends that you choose a portfolio and follow it faithfully without deviation for best results. Of course, being independent, I absolutely don't do that and am all over the map. LOL The hardest part is getting a good price when the herd jumps in on the email. I just set a limit and use patience. There are at least two portfolios (and maybe two more) I hate with a passion, so let me know if you have questions. Good luck.

Just a little more: As an example, I hate Black Box because it relies on a computer to spit out stocks (no rhyme or reason) every Monday morning (what is magic about Monday?). At least 5 buys and 5 sells per Monday. And there's a lot of jumping in or out in one week, followed by jumping back in the next week, etc. etc. etc. Way too many trades for my liking (especially when competing with the herd), so you get my meaning. Z does offer $3.00 trades, but haven't tried them. Let me know if you need more information from my experience with other ports.

Thank you, I will get back to you I'm sure.

Hedging this market prior to 10AM ISM MFG report, with UVXY and TZA. Fingers crossed. Might have quick sale if they go wrong direction.

Just been notified that Windows 10 is a FREE upgrade from Windows 7 (with Service Pack 1) when it comes out later this year. Hooray!

Looks like July 29.

Report not too bad. Out of UVXY with gain of 1.7%. At least not a loss!

Just got a "special offer" to subscribe to the Research Wizard. First time I've seen prices. Still have no intention of doing it. (Hope this formats OK).

The Standard Research Wizard is $1,800 per year or $4,995 for lifetime membership (the price just increased to $6,995 but for a limited time, you can lock in the additional savings by using the old lifetime pricing).

And today you can sign up with one of the below discounted rates!

·$1,600 for 15 months ($200 off and 3 bonus months)

·$3,495 – Lifetime Membership ($1,500 off the old pricing which is an even deeper discount) - Best Value

That is unbelievable! Glad I decided against it.

I have windows 8.1 on two computers - I received a message from Microsoft a couple of days ago in the taskbar - one option was to download Windows 10

I've started a one month trial on the Ultimate. Lots of stuff to read. I see what you mean about the herd jumping on the e-mails. Right now I'm trying to game the system by keeping a window open on a variety of portfolios and seeing if I can catch an update that comes out before the email. That will never fly as a daily thing but it's fun to try.

Lots to choose from. I have a few favorites. Be sure to check out the live ultimate webinars (also on replay). I learn a lot from them.

River, I bought UTHR after viewing many videos and doing research. I didn't realize how they differed from other businesses in the biomedical/genetic industry.
