Hey Fellas, and Julie, Too :)
I'm in a not_so_dissimilar boat as many of you. Though, lately, I've not been looking so much at my portfolio.
What's the point? It's not like any of *those* companies are *real*, anyway.
In any event, I've set GTC orders on all but SPNG & SIRI.
I'll be up early for tomorrow's chat with Mel & will be considering selling one of my SIRI lots in the coming week.
I'm not so concerned about calamity as much as maybe it's time to take a few cards off the table.

Glad to see that you're back, Chuck, and that your thirst was quenched 70% of the time. That's pretty good, I'd say, considering that you were on a bike & not exactly riding through Oregon.

Have a great evening, folks.
I guess that's what confirmation is for... though, if bought yesterday, the stop would have been executed...Quote:

No harm no foul... I still hold the call since there is no point in selling it, so I can actually maybe still make some money, but I can't lose anymore, we'll $5. I set up another on MGM today.
Hello all. This can't be good. 5 beneficial owners sold a combined 997300 shares at .5829 on Monday. I'm a novice but wouldn't them selling just prior to the call be insider trading?
I know I'm missing something.
yes you are missing something. its a scheduled sale, been going on since may. the shares were given in lieu of bonus. the sales tranches are sold every month by a third party proxy until all shares are sold. btw, insiders cant buy or sell within a certain amount of days before a CC (i forget what the time limit is). there is nothing unusual about this sale.Quote:

I'm not saying that because he's on tomorrow that siri's stuff will be good, just that I would be heavily leaning toward them being bad if he were on today.
I have to agree with ya there also Dr. Dave. I really don't like to see Mel on CNBC at all since the stock usually doesn't do well when he's on there lol, but this time could be an exception. Either way, if SIRI holds up above your .55 level or so the next couple days I'm ok with that I guess. .70 looks good too though.:p
And btw, I was going back in time earlier today and rechecking those .01 gaps, and damn if I didn't miss one all the way back at .1049 to .1150 I think it was, way back when SIRI was going through the BK fiasco.:o Sooo, maybe the gaps won't come into play that much anymore post Liberty Media, like they used to before they came into the picture. Would be nice.
I see SIRI traded about 600,000 shares after hours and did ok in gaining about a penny.
I am glad the windows turned out great. That is a technique that I use the majority of the time and it is easy (relatively). I don't know how much experience that you have tiling, but I would suggest putting all of the tile on a diagonal instead of straight. If you are not really up on tiling, please let me know and I will be happy to help.Quote:

I have it upstairs and need to install it. I have to put my new tub in first though. I got the tub and it was a year before I unpackaged it. Well, turns out that it is a drop in tub without anywhere to drop it in to, so I have to set it and then build a side on it with 2x4's plywood, hardibacker and then tile and I have to raise the plumbing up....oh well. If you need help, please ask! :)
Hey Bass, I am great. Since there isn't anything exciting at the moment, I am working (making money). It is quite enjoyable. I am there with you in the wait and see mode.Quote:
