      Well, as it turns out this one worked well for me, since I got a 20% return out of it. Of course, I'm still down 25% or so on the other 3%, but at least I'm not so heavily exposed to NFI anymore...

          I wish I had had the balls to buy more when I saw it trading at 3.3!

            I wish I would have had the balls to buy at all. LOL

              I got some balls today

              and took the cue from Spike's POTW entry to buy some NEXC on a pure daytrade/TA joyride. I put 2% in at 10.3, and will sell this today for either a 3% loss or a 10% gain. That's the plan, anyway, but I'm wide open for suggestions, especially from Spike!

                cutting and running here for a breakeven. I gave it a chance, but it's not happening.

                  Sold LJPC at 7.0

                  Sold a 2% position in LJPC at 7.0. That still leaves over 30% of my port in it, though. I'm considering putting this 2% into NFI again either here or at maybe a bit closer to 4.

                    Bought NFI at 4.9

                    Picked my 2% NFI position back up (now I'm at about 5% NFI) here, looking for a quick 10-20% on this, or if not, I'll hold out for at least 40% long-term. Whatever happens, though, I'm not getting stopped out on this one... It could go to 2, but it'll be back.

                      Maybe tomorrow will bring some movement in the stock just in the nick of time for that call...

                      News was just released stating that GPRO's PCA3 test does indeed better diagnose Prostate Cancer than traditional methods. (We've believed that for a while, but now the data is in.)

                        sold MEICX (3%)

                        sold a 3% position (about half) in one of my biggest mutual fund holdings today, thinking to take some off the table when the market is hot. I'll likely deploy this again when the market is back in the tank next month or next year.

                        By the way, this fund has made me about 68% over 6 years or so, for about a 9%/year gain. This beats the S&P's 0% gain over that time!

                          Sold this 2% (about half of my NFI) at 5.5 today, about 10% above where I bought it.

                              Bought NFI at 5.1 (2% position)

                              got back in here at 5.1 again, bringing my total NFI back up to 5% or so.

                              Now I wouldn't mind it if they sold out next month for 8 or 10, but a recovery back to 20 or 30 would be even nicer. Or a $4 dividend this year would keep me from hating them if none of the above were to happen.

                                Sold these shares for 5.6 today, about 10% above where I got 'em last week.
