Jiesen has the day one lead with the day's winner, BIDU short

Was there anyone (besides RL evidently) who actually thought BIDU would stay over $100 for a whole WEEK? I was surprised it opened as high as it did at 138... Shorting this one was just too obvious. (Only with play money, of course!!!)

By the way, you can't short an IPO (to my knowledge) so all your BIDU shorts on the thread should be disqualified!! LOL

well, I guess I'll just be thanking my lucky shorts that dru picked up the ropes this time, instead of you! he's not half the stickler that you are, isn't that right, dru? lol

What is the time frame 30 days before sharks I mean shorts can attack....

[dmk112]

...my lucky shorts...

Are you referring to BIDU or the ones you're wearing? LOL

What is the time frame 30 days before sharks I mean shorts can attack....

Actually...there is a cooling off period of either 25 or 30 days on IPO's...but I believe that has to do w/ announcements. I don't think it applies to shorts...HOWEVER, to short there must be a valid stock certificate on the shares you borrow...Extremely tough to locate on IPO's. If you want to short an IPO I suggest a Large Full Service Broker...You will pay dearly in commissions though.

Think about it...When was the last time you bought a stock and received the Certificate?...Yes, you can buy them via online brokers...but how many of us do? The last time I actually got one was in the '70's...Doug(IIC)

PS: I happen to have many old stock certificates dating back to the 1880's...Collecting old certs is called Scripophily...Some have very nice vignettes. Many of the very old ones are railroad and mining cos.

I don't own any real valuable one's but it is kinda fun.

Doug, if we ever have another depression, you have some good wallpaper available

Good lord Jiesen! Your picks are on fire.

His 10k is up to 12k on the 2nd day of the comp!

Dru and dmk also on fire. We got some smart cookies in this forum.

it's the lucky shorts I tell you!

yes, GFCI must finally be ready to release that update on the Jet Motor deliveries. These 50 units are supposed to generate $2M/month in mostly profit!
With 25-30M shares outstanding that means nearly $1/year EPS is possible... Not necessarily likely, but possible.

From this PR:

http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/050727/091769.html

"The Rotorjet fleet is projected to continue to increase by ten units per month for the remainder of fiscal 2005, with anticipated revenues from this product line to be $3.2 million annualized. Grifco expects to release an update shortly on the leasing and shipping schedule of our Jet Motor units."

They said "shortly" almost 2 weeks ago, and rumor over at Raging Bull has it they just finished shipping, so the update ought to be imminent. To me, two weeks is one week too late, but still- better late than never. $2M/month is HUGE! (The $3.2M/yr mentioned above is another tool, in addition to JM)

No change in the top 4 spots on day two, but Diogenes has moved up to 5th
