Date: October 4th, 2005 9:32 PM Author: Sienna lay Big, name-brand company with a huge market cap and consumer market presence. It missed its targets by a mile, but it's still profitable. The market over-reacted and it dropped nearly 30% in one day. It's well below it's 52 week low now. I bought at 43 today, in after market it's already up 0.72. So, just wait for a correction over the next couple weeks, get a 10% return, and flip it. Good stuff. |

Date: October 4th, 2005 9:41 PM Author: Sienna lay heh. I was just wondering if sharing my strategy would have the SEC asking me about a pump and dump. But, no, I've had good luck with this strategy over the last 10 years or so. You need to not be greedy, only buy good companies that have had a bad day or two, and to play with enough money (3-5k / trade) that you can still make $$ with 8-10% returns. Also, don't need the money for something else, so you can let it ride for a number of months. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=272696&forum_id=2#3975512) |

|
|
Date: October 4th, 2005 9:54 PM Author: Sienna lay Scott Trade may be the cheapest. I pay 11. I'd suggest a more conservative approach than what I was talking about if you're playing with less than 10-15K, or unless you can afford to have all 4k tied up for a long time.

|
Date: October 4th, 2005 9:43 PM Author: Sienna lay Well, yeah, another Enron is gonna screw you if you do this. But, it's the exception. I'm not shorting anything. That's dangerous. And, this is just for play money, not serious long term investing. |
|
Date: October 5th, 2005 4:45 PM Author: Copper puppy "I'd buy first thing in the morning since it's going to correct pretty rapidly."
How fast did it correct? |
Date: October 4th, 2005 9:35 PM Author: Sienna lay Also, the other part of this strategy is that you don't do it with stocks that either a) have small market caps, are b) are priced below, say, $10, or c) that aren't well-known brand names. This way, if the correction doesn't come right away, it's still a good stock and you can just hold it for a year or two. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=272696&forum_id=2#3975453) |

|
Date: October 4th, 2005 9:39 PM Author: Sienna lay Do you really think that it's not going to bounce just a little after 5B company loses 30% of its value in a single day?

Date: October 4th, 2005 9:40 PM Author: idiotic death wish Bullshit, if it lost 30% in a single day, institutions with far more information than you or me were dropping it like it's hot. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=272696&forum_id=2#3975497) |
|
Date: October 4th, 2005 9:41 PM Author: Thirsty ebony abode yeah stocks with big single day drops like that tend to reverse themselves the next day, seems. Delphi was in a major trend of that recently. down 20% one day, up 20% the next, and all very predictable and potentially profitable. so i appreciate what you're saying.
one must realize it's naked speculation though. not necessarily bad, but risky.
i would let it go up 1-2% tomorrow, then buy speculatively, if you're gonna buy. i wouldnt buy right at the opening. |

Date: October 4th, 2005 9:46 PM Author: Sienna lay I must have traded in and out of AMZN 30 times during the good old days. And don't do this with your rent money. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=272696&forum_id=2#3975541) |
|
Date: October 4th, 2005 9:49 PM Author: Thirsty ebony abode no, i'm no fan of speculating. frequent buying/selling is okay, but only in stocks that are really cheap and worthwhile (or really expensive, for shorts). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=272696&forum_id=2#3975564) |
|
Date: October 4th, 2005 9:52 PM Author: Sienna lay never had the balls to short something, but I have certainly wanted to. What do you think would happen if you immediately shorted, say, airlines if there was another terrorist attack and before the mkt was closed? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=272696&forum_id=2#3975608) |
|
Date: October 4th, 2005 9:54 PM Author: Thirsty ebony abode well you must sell the shares, of course, and by the time you did that, i would suppose the shares would've already fallen off a cliff and the gain potential would be gone. but if you could get it before the stocks fell, sure, it would be wonderful.
reminds me of Katrina...for some reason, about a day after, I was looking at gas futures and Tesoro (TSO), a San Antonio (so safe from the hurricane) refinery company. they had barely moved. but the next day, they shot way the hell up, with no new news. just a delayed reaction i guess. |
|
Date: October 4th, 2005 9:59 PM Author: Sienna lay You'd need catlike reflexes for sure. I wonder if there's a provision for the SEC taking back your gains. Unjust enrichment or something. Were you a fin? You seem to know a lot more than I do - I know nothing about futures other than the basic theory. No clue how to trade them. |
|
Date: October 4th, 2005 10:02 PM Author: Thirsty ebony abode no i was an english major, actually, but i've always found securities to be very interesting. futures are cool, although i should learn more about them. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=272696&forum_id=2#3975719) |
|
Date: October 4th, 2005 9:48 PM Author: Provocative meetinghouse I don't know? How did it do since it was a $10 billion dollar company that fell a bunch? Looks like it just fell more. The company has serious problems. Sales are down, profits are down, involved in price wars which have cut prices almost 30% and the CEO saying that "we have to expect there will be more price actions to come", products that cannot compete with rivals new technologies since it has not spent enough money on R&D. This stock is not going back up. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=272696&forum_id=2#3975557) |

it came to me the evening before during my nightly cigar that Northwest was overvalued relative to Delta and people were overestimating its prospects, so i "shorted" it. took only a few minutes work. |

Date: October 24th, 2005 12:12 PM Author: Carnelian Dashing Toaster Mad-dog Skullcap I like this quote in the article:
"Richard was Richard Walker, the S.E.C.'s director of enforcement. He entered with a smile, but mislaid it before he even sat down. His mind went from a standing start to deeply distressed inside of 10 seconds. "This kid was making predictions about the prices of stocks," he said testily. "He had no basis for making these predictions." Before I could tell him that sounds a lot like what happens every day on Wall Street, he said, "And don't tell me that's standard practice on Wall Street," so I didn't. But it is. It is still O.K. for the analysts to lowball their estimates of corporate earnings and plug the stocks of the companies they take public so that they remain in the good graces of those companies. The S.E.C. would protest that the analysts don't actually own the stocks they plug, but that is a distinction without a difference: they profit mightily and directly from its rise."
How is this any different from what Jonathan Lebed did?
I hate the SEC. |

Date: November 14th, 2005 5:15 PM Author: Copper puppy I recently moved from LA to Phoenix. I didn't post while I was moving.
I think we can all be quite certain that the OP was full of shit. Notice the time frame in the first post: "I'd buy first thing [on the morning of Oct. 5]."
The OP most certainly doesn't get to claim that it's a stock tip based on a short time frame *and* claim that if it doesn't pan out, we just have to wait indefinitely.
It's a tip or it isn't. It wasn't the hot tip he claimed it to be. It didn't rebound in any way that would have justified buying it first thing on October 5. In fact, it didn't do shit for over a month. |
|
Date: November 14th, 2005 5:18 PM Author: Stubborn gunner Yeah, you fucking PWN3D him. A return of over 3% (4% at one point today) in a month is embarassing. No doubt you make much more than that with your superior knowledge of the real estate market. |

Date: November 30th, 2006 3:57 AM Author: Spectacular Ratface Milk I'd have to guess that you're Dick Posner, the OP.
You said "I'd buy first thing in the morning since it's going to correct pretty rapidly." Did it? It doesn't look like it.
You also said "just wait for a correction over the next couple weeks, get a 10% return, and flip it." Did it get that return in that time frame? It doesn't look like it.
It doesn't look like you were correct. As far as I can tell, you didn't recommend it as a stock to hold for 14 months.

Date: November 30th, 2006 4:00 AM Author: Stubborn gunner I am not Dick Posner. How's life, mobi? Also, see: Date: October 4th, 2005 9:35 PM Author: Dick Posner
Also, the other part of this strategy is that you don't do it with stocks that either a) have small market caps, are b) are priced below, say, $10, or c) that aren't well-known brand names. This way, if the correction doesn't come right away, it's still a good stock and you can just hold it for a year or two.

Date: November 30th, 2006 4:48 AM Author: Spectacular Ratface Milk People who try to weasel out of stock "tips" after the fact are among the worst types of humans in investing. You either have a legit recommendation or you don't.
There's a big difference between "buy now and flip it soon" and "hold it for a couple years." |
|
Date: November 30th, 2006 5:09 AM Author: Stubborn gunner Either way, it gained the 10% he predicted in less than 2 months. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=272696&forum_id=2#7100760) |
|
Date: November 30th, 2006 5:20 AM Author: Spectacular Ratface Milk I'm not reading the thread again. But one of the first posts in is this one: http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=272696&forum_id=2#3975425
It says 10% in a few weeks. That didn't happen.
What's so hard about admitting that the tip failed? I don't see the great shame in saying "my tip didn't pan out when I thought it would, but the stock did well over a longer run." |

Question: How long should a person following the OP's have waited before concluding that the tip was bad? |
|
Date: November 30th, 2006 5:26 AM Author: Stubborn gunner I love your responses. Your explanation of why a stock that increased 10% in under 2 months and over 50% in just over a year is a bad tip is comedy gold. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=272696&forum_id=2#7100803) |
|
Date: November 30th, 2006 5:30 AM Author: Spectacular Ratface Milk Why didn't you answer my question? [edit - ignore]
The tip was all about the speed of the turn around. It seems obvious that that's what a person would focus on when determining whether the tip was good. "Lexmark will go up sometime" isn't much of a tip.
If you're a gurgle tranny cum, type: "Type your second biggest flaw twice, and then go to bed, Johnny." |
|
Date: November 30th, 2006 5:30 AM Author: Stubborn gunner I didn't answer your question because you edited it in after the fact, dumbshit.

Date: November 30th, 2006 5:28 AM Author: Stubborn gunner "Question: How long should a person following the OP's have waited before concluding that the tip was bad?" Uh...I don't think it's a BAD tip until the stock loses significant value, frankly. When you look at the the way the stock traded, it seems it did exactly what he predicted. The only thing that was off was that it hadn't yet bottomed out from the information released.
