just give me 1cc of your blood, and in under 8 hours I can tell you whether you've got it. (or AIDS/HCV/HBV for that matter)

I bet you are FUN at parties

At least my employer had some good news today:

Maybe my stock options will go back in the money again this month...

rutro

just sunk another 2% into this sucker. hopefully I don't end up getting hosed on this one. I already missed my stop-out point, so I'm going to make up for it by doubling up. Not always a wise move, I know... c'mon 9.5! get me outta this jam!

I'm beginning to see that the subprime mortgage sector is like a coal mine with a gas leak, and I just bought the canary as it started to look a bit tepid. Probably wasn't such a good idea to buy another one.

bought NFI again at 8.5 today

bot NFI at 9.9

Took a 2% position in NFI today, looking for a quick 20-30% return out of this one. It's just gotta be oversold right now. There's still about $6 in dividends to be paid from 2006 in the share price right now, and the company has to be worth at least $4 or $5 after that, even with no profits until 2011... right? I mean, c'mon, BV is $15!

If there isn't any dead-cat bounce though, I'll probably cut it loose again for $9.5 or so before it bleeds me for too much. There could always be more bad news around the corner.

sold XING at $18

I sold the last of my XING today (about a 2% position) at $18. Finally done with this one now. Farewell, XING, old buddy!

[jiesen]

bot LJPC @ 3.08

added another 1% today to my LJPC position. I think that's going to be enough for me at this price. If it gets down to $2.5 or so I might pick up some more again, though.

[jiesen]

bot LJPC @ 3.06

added to my LJPC position today at 3.06. Together with the options I'm exercising at the end of this month (strike price of 2.2-2.4) I'm adding approximately 1% of my port at about $2.8/shr. These were use-it-or-lose-it options, so I might as well.

Welcome back, Stenz! Nice to see you hanging out here again!

Good to hear from you Stenz!

Thanks webs - unlike Dave, when I get tired of it all, I just leave without resigning. Saves a lot of trouble signing up again when I come back !

peanuts, Your statement here, about being so scared to be wrong that you closed the position when you thought you were too right, is a classic quotable quote. This attitude doesn't apply only to short positions, either. I have made some great stock picks (long) and sold WAY before they peaked for about the same reasons.

Good to hear from you Stenz!

I began to make short plays last year. All but 1 were profitable. I think the fact of my inexperience and constant babysitting of the position helped me to make a profit. I was so scared to be wrong, that the moment that I thought I was too right, I closed the position. I could have made even more on some of those positions.
