[IIC]

Sheesh...nobody reads my posts...I said I wouldn't be available during market hours this week.

BTW...I knew about the symbol change...it was in the news.

And yes ski...I was simply giving you a hard time.

I'm in Houston right now...Pretty nice...met an internet buddy from another forum for dinner last night...meeting another one Thursday night in Dallas...Next time I'm in Virginia I'm gonna make a surprise visit to Lye...LOL...But it may be a while...last time I was in VA was 1969...Good luck...gotta run...Doug(IIC)

Cover Your EBAY Short

NBB, if I were you, I'd cover my EBAY short now. You may not get a better opportunity.

You think I'm kidding? Watch.

Edit: 1:37 p.m. .... well, you did get a better opportunity ... I'd cover, dude!

[Lyehopper]

No one knew about the symbol change until Monday morning. I thought Doug said he was going to be out of town for the week and wasn't going to be able to post or play this week. There's a rule in there somewhere accessing a 5% penalty for fibbing.

LOL!.... I remember that rule Ski.... and it's actually a 10% penality!

Hiya, Van McCoy. I haven't checked the prices yet, but you will get whatever the opening price is at 12:25 p.m., the time of your post, regardless of the prices you posted. They may be the same, and they may not. That's the way it works, bud.

--------------------------------------------------------

Edit: The first AP trade after 12:25 was 28.06 at 12:28.

The first BBBB trade at or after 12:28 was 26.50 at 12:29.

So you actually came out ahead on the deal, because your cover on AP was even lower.

[Lyehopper]

.....and Short BBBB at $26.50 Thanks

I think Stky knows that my post was indeed a compliment, afterall he is 14 years old and quickly becoming a man and gaining my respect on this forum. I really didn't expect you to understand the post Peanuts.

what the heck, Rob. give me AXR long.

[spikefader]

Cover SPF please and short GEHL.

Spike, EBAY reports Wednesday, time undetermined.

NBB ... With regard to scripture: ". . . and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."—Jesus Christ, Sermon on the Mount, Matt. 7:2.

I got stopped out of my earlier EBAY trade, the one you're referring to. My current long position was taken Friday at 25.60 with no hedge this time.

Rob,
I was away from the computer and didn't see that you got stopped out of your first trade. Nice that EBAY was green again today, even if it was a small amount.

I think with the name and symbol change that Home Solutions of America is now listed on the Nasdaq. This in itself speaks for the company being basically on the up an up. I don't think they would have gotten the listing without it. Brutal day yesterday but that was a nice spike at the end of the day today. I like it even more now that it has gotten listed on the Nasdaq. Spoke with the main offices this morning an this last qtr. ended on June 30 and they have until Aug. 15 to report so the earnings report will be coming out soon or at least before Aug. 15. Bought more today at $6.25.

Week 29 (3), Day 2

BoSox quietly maintains the lead with BIDU, up more than 7% so far. So what was it, Bo, that led you to the conclusion that this baby was going to take off this week?

Spikefader covered his short on SPF (a ticker curiously similar to his user name ... hmmmmm) and took one of Lyehopper's favorite stocks, GEHL, short. Spike's spiffiness has garnered him nearly 5% thus far.

EBAY came back strong this afternoon after declining most of the day and managed to close up a little. This face-off between me and New-born Baby will come to head tomorrow as the internet auction powerhouse reports Q2 earnings, evidently after the market closes.

Monday

Looks like YHOO just made a date with 15.00, the daily SHS target.

Ski...why would you think that moving from the Amex to the Nasdaq is a step up?...Personally, I do not like the shenanigans that have gone on in the Amex over the years...But why is that a move up?...Next stop for whatever their name is now is .OB then .PK...(Check Carlisle Holdings...Billionaires screwing people over)...I really do believe that this co. will not be trading within 1 year...If they are...Then feel free to publically post that I was wrong...But this is a shady outfit IMO...Doug
