Jiesen tries to take over the world

CME hits 300!

also, CME just hit my stop at 259, so I sold the rest of my CME. thanks again for the 15% gain, $$MM!!!

You are HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!

Woah! I know I shouldn't be looking back at what could have been, but would you look at CME go? Why did I have to get stopped out at 259? Oh well, at least GFCI is also up 10% today. A CME 230 call goes for about $7000/contract now. Now why didn't I wait until this month to buy one?

XING on the move

XING is up nicely now also, ahead of earnings. I think this bodes well for the earnings release tomorrow. Maybe the ER will put my $10 calls in the money, and I won't feel so stupid for selling those shares in the 5's.

go XING!

[jiesen]

sold most of my XING for 6 bucks

Damn, the ER was NOT what I was expecting. I sold most of my XING for between $6.2-5.8 and hold about a 2% position in it now. I am disappointed in the low revenues and profits for last year. I might buy back if it falls low enough on this disappointment, but I'm getting tired of following this company after what it's put me through.

Jiesen, I need your help

Mr. Jiesen,

I need your assistance. I want to help out a friend. We need a good call on a low dollar stock that would be good for small gain this week. You are the expert. Please lay something down on the table for us. And Thank You.

Mr. Jiesen,

I need your assistance. I want to help out a friend. We need a good call on a low dollar stock that would be good for small gain this week. You are the expert. Please lay something down on the table for us. And Thank You.

Ok, in short here are some ideas for low-dollar values:
My #1 holding and best rec (long term, though): LJPC
Quickest to profit, but riskiest: GFCI
Very stable, and great long-term value: DRUG
Controls $3B in revs with an $80M market cap: DRRA
Each should give great returns long-term, but whether next week will give a pop is anyone's guess. I'd say GFCI is the most likely to jump 20-30% in a week, but also the most likely to drop 20%. I hold all of these except DRRA (would have liked to get in at 3.50, but missed out on it)
I'm also holding BEL, AFT, and ACRG, all low-dollar stocks I believe are excellent values here.

So go ahead and take your pick. I don't know what's so special about a stock with a low dollar value though, since having a low price in absolute dollars per share isn't going to increase a stock's chances of going up next week. The charts will probably tell you more useful information about that than I ever could.

If you want my other, equally valid, opinions on stocks trading at prices above $10, I would highly recommend: MRK, TM, BRKB, WSB (not trading above $10 but it should be), all $$MM stocks, and of course one of my very favorites at $20-$21 AMLN (you cannot go wrong with this one right now!). I own all of these also, with the exception of BRKB, which I will buy again, as soon as one of my riskier plays hits pay dirt.

Again, I wouldn't promise that any of these will go up next week, but over the long term, I am sure that they will all (cumulatively, anyway) perform very well relative to the market (or else I wouldn't be putting my money in them).

If any of these recs interest you to the point of possibly buying one, let me know and I'll give you a long-term target for it. Short-term, you'll have to ask your friendly chart.

Low dollar for a small account

Jiesen,
I needed to pick your mind because my friend has a paltry account of $2,730.00. That's right; not even $3k for trading. I am trying to steer him into a couple of winners to get him over the $3k mark, then $5k, and hopefully one day, into the $10+k world. And I knew that the Junkyard Dog would know where to start. I figured that if you don't have at least 100 shares, you are almost wasting your time because a $1 move on a $90 stock nets only $28!

Now that you have the facts, which one of these beauties would you think offers the best play? And we don't have to have a 20%+ mover (although that would be very nice). We just have to have one that moves upwards of at least 50 cents.

I am going to sift through your post and come up with a chart (hopefully) of what I think will best fit the bill. Perhaps it'll be a winner for both of you.

Thank you, Jiesen!

Here's my #1 pick

Look at this one:

[New-born baby]

Risky LJPC

LJPC:
The chart says it could go up, it could go down. Tuesday is a wait and see day.

BEL: gaining strength

When I say BEL is gaining strength, you need to liken it to a man who
has been shot, and spent the last week in a coma. He's awake now, but
he's not walking just yet. But he is on the road to recovery.

Well if you want to know what I think, from this information, my advice would be to tell your friend to scrape up another $50 and put it all into a share of BRKB. The number of shares is unimportant, it's the value and quality of the company that makes a difference. He isn't going to make it to $10k by daytrading his way up to it. The best way to get the $10k is by earning it and saving it. If $3k is all he has saved so far, I'd really suggest he stay away from most risky plays, and pick a well-diversified mutual fund or an index fund. BRKB is a good alternative, because it is a stock that comprises many diverse businesses, and will likely thrive though any market condition. Also, by watching what Buffett does with the money your friend entrusts to him, your friend can learn a lot about where to put his future investments.

Also, if the money is not in a Roth IRA, and he hasn't already maxed out his (and his wife's) 2005 contribution, I would recommend putting the money into one of those before making the investment. That's the best way to keep the money out the the government's hands when he cashes it in 20 years down the road after it's value has appreciated several times.

Look at this one:

ACRG is DEFINITELY one of the best values out there. I wouldn't sell mine for anything less than $6 right now. And depending how their earnings continue to play out, I just may hold this one forever.

I agree with that assessment of BEL. Whether he ever finds his legs again is a big question, but if he does, BEL will be HUGE!

LJPC:

All I can say about LJPC is it's worth >$10 if it's worth a dime. But you won't know which by Tuesday.

[Websman]

I would recommend EZEN for a good low price stock with potential. It's one of Poorman's latest picks.

Thank you, Webs, for trying to help us. Here's a chart of it, and you'll see it
has pluses and minuses. This thing may not yet have found the bottom. My gut says she needs to form an inverted s/h/s.


Note that she filled the gap of 25 April 2005.
I am not sure this thing is fully ripe, although it is probably not too far away from being ready. I think it needs another couple of weeks.

Thanks again, Webs.
