Stocks, anyone?

[Portuguese]

Come on, who are the hotties.

I bought Oracle and short sold PeopleSoft (& Microsoft), cause of that contenda they have, which of course Oracle seem to be winning.

Furthermore, I short sold Vanguard. In the short term, it seems having a bad result...

Carnival Corp is going to publish results, so I bet on her...

What do you think?

Any stock advices?
(Specially short term ones, since they are more usefull to a simulation )

I'm 23 and I still live off the money I make working full-time during the summer and from the part-time jobs I take while I go to school. No stocks here, no money in fact.

Good luck

PARS
Strong Speculative Buy

You should not see in the above any recommendation given by the writer into buying any security or equity.

 

[Portuguese]

I'll buy it with my unofficial budget. Thx

EDIT:

Is this to buy?
Perhaps a short sell would be best?!?

 

[IceBlaZe]

No this is a long, not a short. It will travel around 3.5-4.5 based on small rumours until the deadline for the results comes very near, and the rumours will get so strong it may touch 2 or even 7. And then it will change its value drastically according to the tests. Good results = jump. Bad results = dive. It is a speculative stock. If you believe in the drug it is developing and you don't fear very volatile, dangerous and speculative stocks - go ahead. Not for the faint of heart.

Read about the company and dexanabinol here.

Thx.
I'll bet in going up then.
(I'm an optimistic by nature)
Time to cross fingers

The day traders love Sirius satellite radio and Lucent, but then you are pretty much just gambling. (Bah, day traders are just gamblers....)

My favorite all time is AMD, allthough I intend to hold it for a while, and right now, do not think it would be a day trader's delight.

We are 50% gamblers, 50% strategic.
Thx for the input

If you want a nice possibility look into Magal, an Israeli security company traded in the United States. ANY terror attack in the western world, especially in the US or Israel, will jump up the stock. Today's assasination made it jump by 30%. The Ashdod Port event a few days ago also made it jump by 30%.

I'd take a wait and see with Siruis. It has a serious debt load and may be attempting to issue new equity to pay off bondholders in the next 2-3 months.

Nah, just 51-50.

Daytrading is equivalent to casino gambling, but instead of the house getting 1% of every wager, the IRS gets a cut. The way to reliably win in the stock market is to buy and hold, and hold, and hold some more. Hold for years, not for days.

Netscreen (NSCN I think it is) has been doing well lately, by the way.

My dad bought 500 shares in Sun Microsystems, back in 2001...watched them as the rolled out two or three 2-to-1 stock splits...while I read weekly that they were flying high in the summer, at about $120 a share...and then watched, horrified, as the stock plunged down to $3.00 following the 9/11 attacks and Sun was losing money quarter after quarter.

I am lucky I didn't have any money to invest in 2001. Nor did I know how. I invested last year at a very good time, and quickly doubled my money... allthough my plan is 7 years or hold out until the price triples.

I intend to buy another 100 shares of AMD if the price falls to $11.25... but it has been hovering around $15.00 for a month now.

There is another company like the Israeli security company... allthough I personally would never invest in it, because it is wildly speculated. With 100,000 soldiers and gaurdsmen training as police officers in Iraq, they will come back home and want jobs.

TASR is a taser company, that has shown incredible gains...

I have 3 rules:
1) No defense
2) no paper companies a la Enron, banks or insurance
3) no first place in market share companies

For some reason, I think American automobiles are a good investment right now also..... I like the new direction away from massive gas guzzling behemoths and towards high performance sports cars.
