Yeah, supply and demand.

All I ask BoA in return for my brilliant idea, is to not prosecute me when I show up to the rubble looking for copper and fixtures smile.gif

A close at 5 dollars is going to cause one hell of a short squeeze as well, not even counting the fact that 5 dollars a share seems to be the magic price to bring in institutional investors (this is already 70% inst owned), and this sucker is already on the Russ 2k.
My Explorer blew a rod Friday, and I can't see spending more on an engine than what the car is worth, so I was really sweating how tight things would be me buying a new car this weekend. My fears are now alleviated heh.

You know this stock much better than me, but when I feel I have had my fill I sell and let the profit ride.

I'm to the point now thinking, just foreclose on the bitches and doze them over.

I think the winners in the bank renting will be the repair companies that get the contracts for fixing stuff. they already can milk money out of stingy owners of rental homes, they'll charge an arm and a leg from bofa

To be holding QPSA as a proxy trade.

Kind of my thinking buying GLUU in anticipation of Zynga going public.

Love the sector, but wouldn't want to own FB or ZNGA.

Good job. You must have nerves of steel for bio spec. Holding Amarin since last year has been gut wrenching for me.

Funny thing is...the action on ACTC hasn't phased me at all. I guess I'm a true believer?

I use less than 10% of my $ for speculation. Some good some bad.

I dumped ZGNX which turned out to be a total piece of shit recently, lost 18% on its crap earnings.

I was that way then also. Spread it around among a group. The chances that a single stock explodes are pretty small. I didnt do that and lost regularly.

That's crazy. I'm 21 and have like 10% max in speculation. I do some derivatives as well but not that much

I see no reason not to raise it. All you need is one big hit to double your portfolio, you have decades to make it back if you lose it.

Yeah, main issue is that I don't have enough time to make educated speculation decisions. Will probably bump it up to 25-30% this summer once I graduate. Pretty much just reading analyst reports right now for equity and quick overview of economic numbers. Haven't traded many derivaties recently though. I'm not leveraged at all so I may bump that up a bit as well so I only use 10% but would be exposed to more risk / return.

Javyn, may be a dumb question, but what are your reasons for wanting to buy QPSA? Just hoping for a pop in the whole social network area?
